Chapter 319: Seventeen, get lost! This is my prey_2

Orenna clenched her teeth tightly, “Indeed, it has nothing to do with my brother. He didn’t even know about the invitation; I sent it in my brother’s name.”

“Oh?” Delaman raised his eyebrows, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

“But I didn’t have any ulterior motives!” Realizing that Delaman might have misunderstood something, Orenna hurriedly explained, “It’s true that my brother asked me to invite Hevnia, but he didn’t send the invitation; I wrote it myself!”

“Why would you do that?” Delaman coldly asked, “Isn’t that superfluous?”

Orenna clenched her teeth tightly, not wanting to tell the truth.

But now, if she didn’t speak, not only she but also Phinis and the entire Lawrence family would be shamed, so she could only say in a trembling voice, “My brother asked me to apologize to Hevnia… but I didn’t want to do it. I despise her and didn’t want to say another word to her or bow down to her, so I forged my brother’s handwriting and used the invitation to replace conversation.”

Orenna seemed to have expended all her energy with these words. After speaking, her body shook uncontrollably as if she might collapse at any moment.

Neither Delaman nor Hevnia showed much change in expression after hearing these words.

For Hevnia, what Orenna said was not surprising.

She didn’t believe that either Orenna or Phinis would take action against her, as it was too obvious. Not to mention Phinis; Orenna didn’t seem capable of such a deed.

This meant she was being used as a tool by someone else.

So, it seemed possible for Phinis too, after all, he did not appear to care much about his sister Orenna.

But Hevnia still didn’t believe it was Phinis, because she had only met him once, and there would be no reason for Phinis to suspect her identity. free𝑤ebnovel.com

After all, the Golden Score had not been seen for many years, and people in the Holy Sound now generally assumed the Golden Score no longer existed, which had allowed Hevnia to stay at the academy for a year without her identity being exposed.

Normal people simply wouldn’t think in that direction.

So, it still depended on what Orenna would say.

This was why Hevnia had made such a big fuss about the situation; if she had not escalated matters this way, forcing Orenna to prove her innocence, finding the Spellcaster would have been even harder.

Sure enough, under such pressure, Orenna had to start actively recalling.

“The invitation was bought from a gift shop,” Orenna murmured, “After buying it, I kept it in my backpack and then attended classes as usual…”

Hevnia’s frown deepened as she listened.

Because that invitation had been in Orenna’s possession for a whole day.

During that time, too many people could have tampered with it.

However, for someone to tamper under the nose of Orenna, a Silver Rank, would not have been easy.

“After school, I practiced in the woods next to the dormitory; at that time, my backpack was set aside.”

Hevnia’s frown grew even deeper.

If that was the case, then the number of people who could have tampered with the invitation was even greater.

After all, there were too many students practicing in the woods next to the dormitory, and they mostly couldn’t see each other but could only hear sounds.

So, the information provided by Orenna was of little use.

Delaman shared this view. After hearing Orenna’s account, Delaman said indifferently, “Forgive me for being frank, Miss Orenna, but this does not prove your innocence, because you can’t even find a suspect, and from your description, I can’t even discern if you have any friends.”

Orenna clenched her teeth, “I prefer to be alone.”

“That’s not necessarily a good thing, Miss Orenna.” Delaman turned to look at Hevnia, “So, Miss Hevnia, what do you think?”

Hevnia bowed slightly, very politely but visibly exhausted, “I’m sorry, Professor Delaman, but I’d like to go back and rest now.”

“Ah, is that so?” Delaman nodded slightly in understanding, “After all, you’ve been through quite an ordeal, but please don’t overthink; we will ensure justice for you, no matter who the other party is.”

Saying this, Delaman glanced at Orenna, making her face turn even paler.

“Thank you, Professor.”

After saying these words, Hevnia turned and left without giving Orenna another glance.

Watching Hevnia’s departing figure, Orenna clenched her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with hatred; she even bit her lip until it bled without realizing.

But Hevnia was no longer in the mood to care about Orenna.

Her biggest secret had been exposed.

Though it had been exposed once half a month ago, this time was undoubtedly much more severe.

After stepping out of Delaman’s office, Hevnia took a deep breath and for the first time, decided to seek help from a certain presence.

“Do you know who the Spellcaster is?” Hevnia asked inwardly.

“So, you’re asking me?” Bai Wei said with a laugh, “Seems like you’re panicking too.”

Hevnia said nothing.

“But unfortunately, I do not know,” Bai Wei slowly straightened his small head as if to speak earnestly with Hevnia, “although I could have known.”

“What do you mean?”

“If I could see,” Bai Wei said, “but as you know, I have no eyes right now.”
