Chapter 386

He trusted Natalie too much, spending all his time on the materials she had prepared. However, not a single key point she prepared for him was correct. It was worse than not studying at all.

During the exam, his mind went blank. Aside from the most recently studied knowledge, he had completely forgotten everything he had learned before.

Vincent gritted his teeth. He knew Natalie was the one he should blame the most for this, but he could not confront her.

She was Audrey’s daughter, David’s most valued student, and a rising medical star who had published three important papers in a row. He couldn’t afford to offend her.

Vincent looked at Jaden. “Even if everything you say is true, can you really go and confront Natalie? Ultimately, wasn’t it our own foolishness that gave her an opening to exploit!”

“Of course I’ll confront her!” Jaden scoffed, “I’m not like you, afraid of offending her. Once I find out some things, I’ll make her pay.”

After Jaden finished speaking, he walked out of school. Vincent stopped looking for Josie and quickly followed him.

He said, “Jaden, wait for me. Is there anything I can help you with regarding this matter?”

After the two left, Josie and Sean had already walked away.

“Sean, why are you suddenly at school?” Josie was delighted to see Sean.

Although they had confirmed their relationship, they hadn’t spent much time together.

Since Sean joined the Reedshaw Group, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Sean raised his hand and tapped her on the nose. “Didn’t I promise to take you out for a meal and a movie?”

“I know!” Josie smiled happily. “You’re taking me on a date, right?”

Sean said, an amused expression on his face, as he affectionately pinched her cheek, “Silly girl. Stay away from David’s crew from now on. They’re all crazy!”

Josie giggled aloud. “This is just the beginning.

“As our research progresses, every single one of them will pay for what they’ve done.

“This is merely enough to make them despair yet!”

Sean said, full of worry, “I know you’ve been hiding your strength and avoiding direct confrontation with them, precisely to deliver a fatal blow.

“But I still want to say, you’re not alone now. We’re all here to support you.

“No matter what happens, always remember to consult with us and protect yourself at all times!”

“Yeah, I know.” Josie hugged his arm playfully. “Don’t worry, I won’t put myself in danger.”

When people were desperate, they would do anything. Sean still remembered Josie’s kidnapping, so he was worried.

But Josie knew Jaden and the others too well. They still thought they had the upper hand and would only try everything to salvage the situation.

But Natalie would not allow them to side with her. As long as Natalie took action, Josie would interfere with her plan.

After all, in her previous life, Josie was too kind-hearted and exposed the path Natalie had set for them, which made them hate her deeply, while completely trusting Natalie.

Now that they had all embarked on the paths Natalie arranged for them, Josie wondered if they would regret it. She felt that the drama would surely be spectacular then.

After this incident, countless rumors spread throughout the school.

Some said Jaden came to pester Josie and was beaten by Sean. Others said Josie publicly announced she was dating Sean.

Some also said Jaden and Vincent fought over Josie, loudly regretting their fallout with her, and even claimed they had fallen into Natalie’s trap.

The video of their quarrel was also uploaded to the school’s intranet.

Everyone was shocked by their crazy remarks.

They began to question the abilities of students in David’s team.

New students began to inquire what had happened to David’s team last academic year, and as a result, past incidents were dug up.

The incident of Kyle being arrested and imprisoned shocked people the most.

Not long after, everyone who had initially chosen David’s class began applying to switch their classes.
