198: A Self-Directed Play

A Self-Directed Play

Lily could only choose to compromise.0

After all, Connor now had evidence that she had printed these photos. As long as Connor handed the evidence to the police, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Why did you spread photos of Mandy and me in school? What's your purpose in doing this?" Connor asked Lily expressionlessly.

"I…"

Lily opened her mouth and was about to speak.

"I advise you not to lie to me. Otherwise, I'll call the police and get them to arrest you. At that time, it won't be up to you to tell the truth!"

To prevent Lily from lying and deceiving him, Connor warned Lily.

"..."

Lily looked at Connor and hesitated. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "Connor, I didn't want to spread these photos. Someone paid me to do this!"

"Someone paid you to do this?"

Connor could not help but be stunned, and a hint of doubt immediately flashed across his face.

"Yes, someone told me that as long as I print out these photos and send them to every corner of the school, she would give me 50,000 dollars after it was done!" Lily lowered her head and whispered.

"Who asked you to do this?"

Connor couldn't figure out who was so bored to spend 50,000 dollars to frame him.

"..."

Lily looked at Connor without saying anything.

"If you don't expose the mastermind, it means you tacitly admit that you're the one who did this. I'll call the police and have them take you away immediately. You will go to jail, and the school will also expel you. I know your family background is not bad, and you might not care about your degree, but if such a scandal happens, your parents will be very angry…" Connor looked at Lily and said indifferently.

When Lily heard this, panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly begged, "Connor, don't call the police. I'll tell you, okay?"

"Speak!" Connor frowned and scolded.

"It was Mandy!" Lily bit her red lip. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"What... What did you say?"

After Connor heard Lily's admission, he was instantly stunned.

"Mandy asked me to do this!" Lily repeated in a low voice.

"You're still lying to me, aren't you? How could Mandy do this? She is also a victim of this matter!" Connor exclaimed. He felt Lily was insulting his intelligence now, so Connor took out his phone as he spoke. He wanted to call the police and ask the police to take Lily away to clarify this matter.

"Connor, don't call the police. It was really Mandy!"

Lily panicked when she saw that Connor wanted to call the police. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Connor's arm.

"Impossible. If Mandy wanted to harm me, she could have used other girls' photos! Why would she use her photo?"

Connor did not believe that Mandy was the one who did it.

"It has all come to this. Is there a need for me to lie to you?"

Lily spoke agitatedly and continued, "Last night, after she returned to the dormitory, she kept hiding under the blanket and crying. I asked her what was wrong, but she refused to say anything. Then, she suddenly stopped crying and got out of bed to ask if I knew how to Photoshop photos. I said I did, and then she asked me to edit a photo of you in bed. I was quite puzzled. I didn't know why Mandy would photoshop such a photo, but I finally agreed because she offered me 50,000 dollars!"

"And then?" Connor asked Lily.

"Then she told me that if I could paste this photo all over the school, she would give me 50,000 dollars…"

Lily paused, then looked at Connor and said, "So, I found a printing shop and printed a thousand copies of this photo. Then, I found a few part-time students to paste these photos in school…"

After listening to Lily's explanation, Connor felt that all of this was unbelievable because he couldn't understand why Mandy would do this. However, from Lily's current tone, Connor could feel that Lily wouldn't lie to him.

"Connor, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can call Mandy now. I can confront her face to face. Mandy asked me to do all these things!"

Seeing that Connor said nothing, so she quickly continued to explain.

"So Mandy was the one who asked you to say those things that you framed me at school today, right?" Connor narrowed his eyes and asked Lily.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily quickly nodded.

"Do you know why she did this?" Connor asked in a low voice.

"I... I don't know..." Lily shook her head.

"Phew…"

Connor took a deep breath, then pointed at Lily and said, "Now write down everything you just said on paper, then sign your name and give it to me!"

"Connor, what?" Lily asked Connor in confusion.

"I cannot call the police this time, but if I find out that what you said to me today was a lie in the future, I will hand over that video and all the things you wrote to the police and let the police deal with it. Do you understand?" Connor said to Lily in a serious tone.

"Und... Understood!"

Lily nodded shakily, then hurriedly took out a piece of paper and a pen to write down everything she had just said.

Five minutes later, Connor left the female dormitory alone.

Connor felt conflicted. He originally thought that after Mandy knew his true identity, she would not come to provoke him again. In the future, when she saw him, she would probably avoid him.

But he didn't expect that Mandy, this stupid woman, would do such a thing the next day.

All of this was Mandy's self-directed act!

Connor couldn't figure out what Mandy's purpose was. After all, letting the entire school see the photo of her in bed with Connor wouldn't do her any good.

Although what she did would indeed ruin Connor's reputation, as a girl, her influence should be even worse!

"Phew!"

Connor thought for a long time but could not figure this out, so he took out his phone and dialed Mandy's number.

He wanted to resolve this matter completely. Otherwise, Freya would continue to misunderstand him!
