Chapter 32: Stealing Coat

His words became a contentious issue. Everyone began to judge Lalisa, saying she could not afford the coat she was wearing.

Yeri's friend turned around and asked, "Ri-Ri, did you buy a coat like this?"

Yeri hid behind her and said with tears, "I think I have something like this, but I don't remember."

Yeri spoke carefully. After what happened at the banquet last time, she decided to be careful with her words and not take responsibility for anything. Now that someone was willing to be mean, she only needed to urge them.

Although Yeri was not sure, the girl was certain that Lalisa was the one who stole the coat.

She led a group and surrounded Lalisa, "Now, take off your shirt. I'll pretend that you didn't steal."

She could only wear a single layer of clothing in the current weather. If she took it off, she would only be wearing her underwear. This was obviously to humiliate Lalisa.

The girl thought she had an advantage in people, so Lalisa was afraid she would take off her shirt.

But Lalisa did not want to argue with them at all. Fools would not listen to the truth.

She walked ahead, her aura stronger than the combined group. The girls were stunned and subconsciously made way for her. Lalisa left the encirclement and prepared to leave the teaching building.

The girl felt that Lalisa was looking down on her. She rushed up and said, "I told you to remove your shirt. Did you not hear me?"

Lalisa did not want to be attacked from behind, so she turned around and looked at her.

The girl raised her hand and was about to slap Lalisa, but Lalisa grabbed her wrist and threw her out. Although Lalisa did not exert much force, the girl was still in agony after being propelled meters away.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the others. The boys came out of the classroom and said, "Who do you think you are, bullying a girl? You stole something, and you won't even own up to it. You are despicable."

"Your IQ is low." Lalisa looked at him coldly and asked, "Do you have any evidence to prove that I stole the coat?"

This question stumped the boys. They did not have any evidence to prove that Lalisa stole the coat. Yeri only said that she seemed to have the same coat.

However, this could not be considered a basis at all. It was common for girls in their third year of high school to wear the same clothes if everyone spent money at the same place.

The girl stood up, tears streaming down her face. "You're just a wild girl from the countryside. How could you possibly afford such expensive clothes? Your life isn't even worth the fabric they're made of."

Everyone felt that this was very true. They all chose the most expensive clothes to buy. All of them added up to the annual income of an ordinary person. They suspected that Lalisa did not have that much money.

However, someone else said, "She's the daughter of the Manobal family. She should have some pocket money, right?"

Then, everyone looked at Yeri, waiting for her to speak.

Although Yeri did not want to stand out, she had no choice but to speak up now. She wanted to let Lalisa know that this was not a place she could come to.

"I don't know if she has any pocket money, but my parents and brothers have never given her money. It should be her savings." Yeri said timidly.

The girl seemed to have heard a royal order and said proudly, "How much savings can she have? She can't afford all this, even if she farms in the countryside for her entire life. She must have stolen Ri-Ri's coat!"

Her words were so resolute that the people who heard them thought she was some kind of detective. The others agreed with her words.

"That makes sense. Lalisa's clothes aren't something she can afford."

"Chairman Manobal hasn't brought her back for so many years. It's obvious that he doesn't like this daughter very much."

"The illegitimate daughter who was hidden in the countryside had no money at all. She probably stole the coat because she wanted to compete with Yeri."

They spoke very loudly. Lalisa heard it. She did not expect these people to be so idle and spend all their time gossiping. She had no intention of refuting it. The truth would naturally come out during class.

Lalisa remarked to Yeri, "Your lying skills have improved since you were young."

With that, she left the group and prepared to depart.

The girls became more convinced of their suspicions and yelled, "Strip before you go!"

Just then, Lalisa received the class schedule. She checked the sign at the classroom entrance and strode towards the podium. "Class is about to start. I am your teacher, Lalisa. But I believe you all already know me."
