She Became Rich After Divorce
Chapter 281: Graeme, You Deserve To Die

Chapter 281: Graeme, You Deserve to Die

Danielle was in a stock trading simulation class that day, but she had little interest in the complex stock market charts. She decided to discreetly browse the school's online forum, where she unexpectedly stumbled upon a popular post.

The protagonist of the post turned out to be someone she knew quite well-Cheyenne. However, Danielle was disappointed to find that the post was filled with praises for Cheyenne. This wasn't something she was happy to see.

Danielle took screenshots of the compliments about Cheyenne, especially those comparing Cheyenne favorably to the school belle, Nora. She forwarded the screenshots to Nora.

"What's this?"

"Your sister is here, in the principal's office. The guys at school are all worked up, like they've seen a woman for the first time. They're even saying that you don't deserve the title of 'school belle.' They're talking so rudely about you."

As Danielle spoke, she watched Nora's facial expressions. As expected, when the topic of her "school belle" came up, Nora's face didn't look quite natural.

Seizing the opportunity, Danielle continued to provoke her in a whisper, "Look at Cheyenne. How can she compare to you? A divorced woman suddenly appearing at school and trying to steal the limelight." On the side, a female student chimed in with disdain, nodding her head, "Those guys must be blind. Nora is the epitome of pure beauty, not like that shameless seductress who lures men all around." Nora was slightly affected by their praises, and her dark, lustrous eyes sparkled as she gave a faint, shy smile. "But my sister is prettier, and it's normal for many guys to like her. Unlike me... sigh." Her self-deprecating comment earned her disapproving glares from the other two girls, who seemed determined to bolster her confidence. "Who says that? You have plenty of guys who like you too!" As they discussed this, Nora blushed. She bit her lip and lowered her head shyly, responding softly, "Please, stop it. The teacher is watching us."

"Right."

Danielle decided to change the subject slightly, keeping an eye on the post about Cheyenne. She came across a video clip and a thought occurred to her.

She cut out a specific segment from the video and sent it to Nora, along with an encouraging message: "Victory or defeat is in your hands, Nora. You have the power to choose now. Go for it!" Nora simply replied with a brief "Yes," and the conversation ended there.

Meanwhile, Peyton was eventually taken away by the police. Cheyenne and Graeme engaged in a heated argument, with Cheyenne vowing to hire the best lawyer for her defense. Graeme, on the other hand, clung to the point of Kate not being deflowered, believing that a good lawyer could win the case.

People couldn't help but feel disappointed by Graeme's unwavering support for his cousin, even when she was facing serious consequences. Why was he going to such lengths to help his cousin? Was it because of their family ties and their long history together, allowing personal emotions to override the principles of justice?

"Mr. Mathews, go ahead and find a lawyer, we're not afraid," Cheyenne said with a sly smile, her exquisite face shimmering with a gentle glow under the sunlight, leaving people's hearts in turmoil.

Graeme glanced one last time at Kate, not saying anything, but the resentment in his eyes couldn't be hidden. He still blamed Kate.

As Graeme was about to leave, Eddie suddenly stopped him. "Graeme, I have something to say to you. Do you have a moment to listen?"

Their eyes locked, and an unspoken battle began between the two men. Eddie's previously cheerful eyes had turned serious, sending a chill down anyone's spine. Graeme stammered, "Wh-what do you want to say?"

"Mr. Mathews, I would appreciate it if you could keep your distance from my sister in the future. She's young and might have been misled by some external appearances. On her behalf, I apologize for what she did."

Eddie's voice remained gentle, but his eyes bore a piercing and chilling gaze as he extended a hand.

Kate, listening to her brother, didn't look at Graeme anymore. She bit her rosy lip and softly spoke, "Brother, I was wrong. There won't be a next time."

All those external allurements were like a mirage, vanishing as soon as you got close. Kate had realized that her biggest mistake in relationships was thinking that her investments, in terms of emotions and money, should guarantee returns. If not, it would be deemed a failed transaction. When the other party gave you a slight taste of sweetness, the investor would continue to linger around, hoping for more.

It seemed that Graeme, like a stock, had hit a limit down, and Kate had run out of patience. It was time to pull out.

Graeme couldn't quite put his finger on why he felt slightly unhappy. He had known Kate for a while, and she had been like a little shadow following him around for the past year. She added a touch of difference to his monotonous life, but if you asked him what was so special about Kate, he couldn't come up with a convincing answer. It wasn't as if he couldn't live without her.

Graeme had a cold and aloof demeanor because his maturity level had long surpassed that of his peers. He was already dabbling in entrepreneurship, juggling responsibilities between school and his company. Whenever Peyton or Kate questioned him about his ideal partner, his internal response was - equally matched.

What he truly desired was a partner who could grow alongside him and share the journey of entrepreneurship. That way, it would alleviate some of his pressure. Both Peyton and Kate seemed too immature and didn't fit the criteria of his ideal partner.

After coming to this realization, Graeme turned and walked away, his slender figure receding into the distance.

Kate suddenly laughed, and glistening teardrops fell from her eyes, catching Eddie off guard.

His little sister, the Zamora family's princess, had been deeply hurt by a man who seemed to be nothing.

Graeme, you're despicable!

"Kate!"

Kate wiped her tears and restored her radiant smile, pretending to be at ease. "Brother, I'm fine. Thanks to you, Mr. Owen, and Cheyenne today. Without you all, I would've suffered a great loss from that so- called pure and innocent woman."

"You little brat, you should be grateful to me. Study well in the future."

"Yes, Mr. Owen. I will study hard and make progress every day!"
