Chapter 68. The Set up IV
~ Helen’s POV
I watched in satisfaction as everyone that entered into the bathroom gasped at the sight of Trisha lying unconscious on the floor. As they all poured in, their eyes fixed to Trisha's prone body, I allowed myself a quick triumphant smile before hurriedly putting on an expression of shock and sorrow on my face, as everyone gathered around the restroom. I sobbed as everyone asked me what had happened and why Trisha was unconscious on the floor with blood on her face.
Stupid bitch. This is what happens when you think you can challenge and blackmail me, confident in the fact that you'll go scot free. You can't treat me like that and not suffer for it.
“Is she dead?” One of them asked as they were all scared to move closer to her.
I was still crying and then I heard Lucas’s voice. He was also asking about what had happened as well. I looked up at him and he found his way among the crowd to come to me, Lucien right behind and following him.
“What happened, Helen? Why is Trisha lying on the floor?” Lucien asked as he moved closer to check up on Trisha. He bent down and placed his fingers to her neck, his face scrunched in seriousness. Lucas walked closer to me and asked if I was okay.
“I’m… fine but … I pushed Trisha unintentionally. It was an accident, I swear it was. I only bumped into her, and… and she slipped, ” I lied, sobbing and doing my best to look and sound heartbroken.
“It’s okay, Helen. She is still breathing. Just breathe and calm yourself. We all know you wouldn't do something to hurt a fly,” Lucien said.
He turned to the crowd. "Someone call the pack hospital!" He ordered, authority brimming in his voice. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Thank the moon goddess. I'm so glad she's breathing. I swear, it’s not intentional. I only tried to defend myself,” I said, still sobbing.
Damn it. I really thought she'd be dead. I guess you must be really desperate to leave, huh Trina?
Lucas hugged me, telling me everything's okay. I peeped to see the reactions of other students and I saw that they were all gossiping eager to know what happened. Some already brought out their
phones to take pictures and videos and then I had the perfect moment to frame Trisha for everything that had happened.
I thought that if I was recorded plus the evidence on her phone, when she is awake, she won’t be able to do anything. I calmed myself down panting and allowed my sobs to die down. Lucas looked at me and asked if I was ready to tell them what happened between me and Trisha. I nodded my head and moved away from her.
“I was in the toilet when I heard Trisha receiving a call,” I started telling them.
I paused a bit and looked at everyone, the curiosity getting ahead of them as they listened attentively, holding their phones in position to take pictures and videos. I felt elated within me and then I continued.
I told them how I had heard her talking to someone on the phone about Olivia’s pictures that were spread on the school website. She was the one behind it and she was trying to hide all evidence. I came out of the toilet and confronted her to go out there and confessed to everyone but she proved stubborn.
“So I tried to get her phone and then we started fighting. She wanted to land a punch on me but I dodged it and that was how she smashed her head on the mirror and fainted.” I added.
“Her phone is with her, so you can check it to confirm, Lucas. I didn’t hurt her intentionally. She is my friend but she was up to no good these days.” I said, looking up at Lucas and Lucien and the other students.
Lucien who was still checking on Trisha took her phone away from her and unlocked the phone with Trisha’s finger. Lucas was so angry as he charged towards Lucien to check the contents on her phone. I grinned hard as everyone’s attention was now on Trisha, taking her pictures and gossiping about her.
Lucas gripped Trisha’s phone tightly after watching all the videos and the pictures on her phone. I had deleted anything that could be traced back to me on her phone and then I moved closer to Lucas.
“Did you see the evidence?” I asked her, still playing the victim.
“I’m so sorry I invited her to the palace. I didn’t know that she would hurt Olivia.” I added, sobbing.
Lucas was so silent but Lucien told me that it wasn’t my fault and that Trisha was to be blamed as she had deceived me.
“What should we do now, Lucas?” Lucien turned to him and asked.
“Take Trisha to the school clinic first. When she is awake, we will decide on how to punish her.” Lucas said.
“I need to inform dad about this, so Lucien, you will have to stay in school and make sure Trisha didn’t try to escape.” He added.
I watched as he left the restroom and then Lucien ordered some students to carry Trisha out of the restroom to the clinic. He dismissed everyone and turned to me again asking if I was alright.
I told him that I’m fine and that he should head to the clinic to keep a watch on Trisha and that I will join him as soon as I calm myself. He left after he was sure that I was okay.
I looked around to make sure that I was the only one left in the restroom before smiling and laughing. I quickly brought out my phone and texted my dad about how I had framed Trisha for everything.
He replied to me immediately telling me that he would pick it up from there. I put my phone back in my pocket and then came out of the restroom and went straight to the clinic.
Lucien was staying outside the door and I asked him why he wasn’t inside keeping a watch on Trisha. He told me that if he should stay any longer with her, he would hurt her just like she did to Olivia.
I felt jealous at that moment again but I quickly fought back the emotions and asked what the doctor said.
“I was told that she would wake up soon.” He said, focusing on his phone.
I told him to allow me check up on her and he told me not to stay longer with her so that she won’t hurt me. I smiled at him and then went in to see how Trisha was doing.
Just as I entered, she opened her eyes and was shocked when she realized that she was in the clinic.
“What have you done, bitch?!” She yelled out.
With a dangerous smile on my face, I approached her, “ Don’t worry, you are going to take the fall for everything and I won’t take your sacrifice for granted.” I whispered to her.
“Fuck you!” She yelled out.
