Annette snorted coldly. She immediately said, "Then have you ever thought that her confession to others was her business and had nothing to do with us? Why should we take the blame for her confession to others? This morning, when I came to school, I found that there were people on the forum who slandered me for no reason. I'm so innocent. Won't I feel wronged when I face so many people's slander? Vincent, I won't hurt any students. I didn't do this. If you insist that I did it, just like Sara said, please show me the evidence. Otherwise, go away."
Vincent was claiming the moral high ground to seek justice for his student.
Now that he could not get it, he was reluctant to let go of the issue.
They stood on both sides of the dining table, their eyes full of anger.
Annette's phone rang. She bent over and took out her phone from her bag to pick it up.
Marcus' voice came from the other side of the line. "Annette, where are you?"
"What do you want?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing?"
"Fine, but you have to wait a while. I'm in the middle of something."
"Call me when you're done. By the way, prepare a gift to thank me."
Annette frowned and asked, "What did you do for me?"
"Of course. I found the person who slandered you on the forum. Shouldn't you thank me?"
A smile appeared on Annette's lips. "Are you sure you found the person?"
"Of course. If you don't trust me, you can at least trust Connor, right?"
Annette glanced at Vincent. She said to Marcus, "That's good. Take the things to the cafeteria. I'll wait for you."
Hanging up the phone, Annette threw the phone back into her bag.
She looked at Vincent coldly, her eyes determined.
Annette's gaze somehow frightened Vincent.
Annette said, "If Vincent can prove that I did it, then I will apologize to Matilda in public. But if I can prove my innocence, you need to bow to me and say sorry."
Vincent immediately said, "Okay, Annette, don't quibble and deny it like now. After all, there are so many people here as witnesses."
"Don't worry. I will keep my word."
Vincent turned to leave. Annette said, "Vincent, please wait. I want to show you my evidence."
Sara turned her head and looked at Annette worriedly. "Annette?"
Annette looked at her and said with a smile, "Sara, let's wait and see. I'm also very curious about who did this."
No one left the cafeteria during this time.
Everyone wanted to see the result.
In less than ten minutes, Marcus arrived.
He saw Annette waving at him at the door.
The atmosphere in the cafeteria was a little strange.
But he didn't think too much about it and walked straight to Annette.
"Annette, I'm here."
Annette got up and asked, "Can you really prove that the post on the forum has nothing to do with me?"
"Yes, I already said that I found the evidence."
"Where is the evidence?"
Marcus said, "I had someone track down the poster's IP address, and according to this address, I found the Internet café where the post was posted. Finally, I found this person from the surveillance footage of the Internet café. Moreover, this poster is the same person as the first person who commented on the forum."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and opened a video.
Annette took the phone. When she looked down, Sara and Vincent also came over.
When she saw the person in the video, Sara covered her mouth in surprise and was shocked.
Annette was stunned too.
She had thought that it was indeed related to the people in the office.
However, when she saw this scene, she still found it hard to believe.
Vincent stared at the screen and said, "Isn't this Melissa from your office?"
Annette and Sara looked at each other.
After a while, Annette asked, "Marcus, are you sure about this? Maybe this is just a coincidence. Melissa also went to this Internet café that day."
"If posting is a coincidence, then what about the comment? It can't be a coincidence both times, right? Look at the video later. The comment was not posted in the same Internet café. The two Internet cafés are very far from school, but they are very close to where Melissa lives. Can this be a coincidence?"
Vincent frowned and said, "Melissa is so vicious."
Sara said unhappily, "You haven't figured out anything yet. You're not better than others as you accused Annette without evidence."
After listening to Sara, Marcus looked at Vincent unhappily. "Did you bully Annette?"
Vincent said guiltily, "I just came to verify the situation."
Marcus said coldly, "Even if Annette did it, so what? It's a fact that Matilda confessed to a man and was rejected. She then insisted on pursuing him. That was also the truth?"
Sara nodded and said, "That's right, Vincent. You promised just now. If Annette has evidence, you will apologize."
Vincent frowned. He said stubbornly, "Still, it was one of the people in your office who did this."
Hearing him say this, Annette restrained her sadness and said coldly, "The people in our office can't represent me. Melissa is Melissa. I am me. Vincent, please keep your promise and apologize to me."
Vincent sighed heavily. He said impatiently, "I'm sorry."
Annette said coldly, "I just said. Please bow and apologize to me. The reason why I asked you to bow is that I hope you can take this seriously. In the future, don't accuse others without evidence no matter what happens."
Marcus pursed his lips. "Vincent, be a man, OK? You were quite aggressive when you accused her. When you have to face your mistakes, are you scared?"
Vincent gritted his teeth. He walked in front of Annette and bowed. He said, "Annette, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have wronged you without figuring out the truth."
"It doesn't matter," Annette said. She pulled Sara with one hand and Marcus with the other and left the cafeteria.
