The Inescapable Celibate Heir Chapter 190: Slander

Ella was convinced that Victoria must have done something behind her back. 

Maybe she had secretly badmouthed her to Dennis, which was why Dennis seemed wary of her. 

Ella decided to take some action to get back at Victoria. She planned to expose Victoria's dark past at the peak of the gaming tournament, but for now, she would find some other way to punish her. 

Soon, she came up with a good idea.

In reality, Victoria had never mentioned Ella to Dennis. She didn't know Dennis well enough to feel the need to warn him. 

They had only discussed how to attract more people to today's chess club presentation. 

Victoria had deliberately let Ella see her and Dennis meeting alone in the office to catch Ella's attention and make her take over the task. 

It seemed to have worked well; sometimes, Ella could be quite useful.

Recently, Victoria had been wearing new outfits from the brand "Moonlight" every day. 

Initially, Ella and Jasmine had looked down on this brand. In Ella's past life memories, this brand didn't exist, so she thought it would only be popular for a short time before being phased out or going bankrupt. 

She remembered a new brand that would soon dominate the fashion scene, but its name was slightly different—it was called "Moon," which was simpler and more elegant. 

However, since "Moonlight" was all the rage among college students, they decided to check it out and found that it had opened a store on Fifth Avenue. 

So, they secretly found a personal shopper and paid double the price to buy "Moonlight" clothes.

When Ella proudly wore the new "Moonlight" outfit to school, she was surprised to find Jasmine wearing the same one. 

A fleeting look of displeasure crossed her face, but she quickly smiled and greeted Jasmine, "Jasmine, what a coincidence! We're wearing the same outfit today. Mine was a gift from my mom's friend in Zantria. How about yours?"

Jasmine glanced upward and said, "Mine was something my mom picked up while shopping. I guess moms just like this style. I didn't really want to wear it, but I didn't want to disappoint her, so I wore it today." 

The two of them complimented each other's outfits on the surface, but deep down, each thought they looked better and wanted to outshine the other.

Their classmates were very supportive, showering them with compliments on their latest high-end outfits, as no one else had managed to get them. 

Some even envied their close relationship, saying they were like sisters for wearing matching clothes. 

The two of them basked in the admiration, striking various poses for selfies and uploading them to social media to attract attention.

Just then, Victoria and Mira walked into the classroom, instantly drawing everyone's attention. 

Victoria was wearing the latest high-end custom outfit, and her sleeves still had the specially designed logo. 

Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "I can't even get one piece, but Victoria has a whole set of high-end custom outfits? And she's been wearing different ones every day for over a week. Did her family buy the entire 'Moonlight' store?"

Natalia couldn't help but envy, saying, "I wish I had those clothes too, even just one set. Posting pictures online would definitely get a lot of attention. People would think I'm a wealthy socialite. Nowadays, people love seeing the lives of the rich." 

Ella shot her a glare, and she quickly looked away, awkwardly laughing.

Victoria wasn't the only one at school who rubbed people the wrong way. 

Many girls liked Eric but didn't dare to mess with Lily; however, they weren't afraid of Victoria. The most fervent among them was Moira Wilson. 

That day, she overheard Ella and Lila discussing Victoria and hid nearby to listen intently. 

Afterward, she posted on the school forum questioning whether Victoria's clothes were fake. 

She made several posts with titles like, "What's Victoria's family background? Does anyone know?" "Is Victoria's 'Moonlight' high-end custom outfit fake?" and "Do you really believe Victoria can afford a new high-end outfit every day?"

She even got some friends to help boost the posts, and soon they attracted a lot of attention. 

Many people at school were interested in the new Campus Queen, and many were jealous of Victoria's closeness with the Charming Four from the computer science department. They pushed the questioning posts to the top. 

Some even speculated that Eric was buying the clothes for Victoria, accusing her of being a gold digger who only spent men's money.

Ella saw the lively discussion on the forum and smiled with satisfaction. She had deliberately let Moira overhear, and things were unfolding just as she had hoped. 

Although she knew Victoria's clothes were real, she wouldn't clarify. She just wanted Victoria to be criticized more, which made her happy.

The snooker club members soon saw the posts, and Elise immediately went to the court to find Victoria. 

Victoria and Mira were training, both sweating profusely.

"Victoria, can you take a break? I have something important to tell you."

Victoria saw Elise's anxious expression, stopped training, and walked over, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Elise, what's up?" 

Mira curiously followed.

"Victoria, these posts are clearly slander, but many people believe them. This isn't good for your reputation at school. You should think about how to clarify things." Elise showed them the forum posts.
