Chapter 104 Hacked Into the Campus Website
Charlotte watched as Nicholas pulled out a roughly twelve-inch laptop from his backpack. It was all black and had no laptop brand logo on it.
Nicholas turned on his laptop and placed it on the desk. Then, he typed swiftly on the keyboard.
Seeing Charlotte's puzzled expression, Eloise whispered, "Well, Nicholas is very skilled with computers. Don't worry, he'll definitely be able to delete those posts."
In truth, Eloise didn't really know the extent of Nicholas's technical prowess. She had only heard rumors about it. She looked at Nicholas expectantly. After a couple of minutes, Nicholas closed his laptop and casually said, "It's done."
Eloise was amazed and quickly opened her phone to check the campus website. However, she couldn't access the website at all and got frustrated, saying, "What garbage internet speed is this?"
Charlotte glanced over and noticed the network error message still displayed on the screen.
At that moment, many people exclaimed, "Hey, did the base station blow up?! The internet speed is unbelievably slow!"
"You guys can't get in either? I thought it was just me having issues."
"I give up... both mobile data and Wi-Fi aren't working!"
"..."
Eloise suddenly had a thought. She turned back to Nicholas, and cautiously asked, "Hey Nicholas, did you just hack the website?"
Nicholas remained expressionless and said calmly, "Deleting posts is temporary, but shutting down the site is a permanent solution."
Eloise was left dumbfounded by his response.
Charlotte was also shocked and asked in a hushed voice, "Won't you get punished if they find out?!"
Eloise added, "Yeah, you might get a demerit for this kind of thing."
Nicholas chuckled, "Don't worry, those fools at school won't be able to trace it back to me."
Eloise and Charlotte both breathed a sigh of relief. Eloise leaned on the desk and said, "Yesterday, I had someone investigate that woman. It turns out she's the wife of a coal mine owner, and that guy is notorious for fooling around, especially with students... So, this situation isn't easy to handle."
Nicholas said, "The wife of a coal mine owner?" He pondered for a moment, "Normally, people like her would come forward with false accusations only if they've been bribed. But since she's the wife of a coal mine owner, she shouldn't be lacking money."
"Yeah," Eloise sighed. "And that woman is so stubborn. When asked, she immediately accused Char of being a slut. She's really difficult to handle... Moreover, she's smarter than a monkey. She probably knows we have some special methods, so she packed her things and went to the police station directly... In short, she's a handful."
Nicholas narrowed his eyes and said to Charlotte, "You should avoid coming to school recently. There are too much rumors, and I'm worried you won't be able to handle it... Besides, there isn't much you need to learn in the Adaption Class."
Eloise quickly agreed.
Charlotte understood Nicholas and Eloise's good intentions, but she shook her head, "It's fine, I can handle it."
Nicholas glanced at her and didn't try to persuade further. Instead, he stood up and said, "I'll go out for a bit."
Charlotte's eyebrows twitched, "What are you going to do?"
Nicholas didn't say anything and left the classroom directly.
"He's probably going to talk to that woman," Cecilia walked into the classroom and asked Charlotte, "Are you okay?"
Charlotte shook her head, "I'm fine."
Cecilia clicked her tongue, "I had someone dig up all the information on that woman's background for you."
She took out a stack of documents from her bag, "Take a look."
The middle-aged woman's name was Samantha Martin. She dropped out of primary school and had no formal education. At the age of sixteen, she followed her current husband to Coal City to make a living. Unfortunately, she didn't possess outstanding beauty and wasn't a supportive wife in her husband's career. Their relationship as a couple had never been good, but due to the complex connections between the two families in the same village, they hadn't divorced yet.
And that coal mine owner was the male protagonist of the scandal this time, and he wasn't a good person either. His name was Owen Robinson, forty-eight years old this year, and he always favored young girls. He had use forceful means to procure girls on countless occasions, but every time, he managed to buy his way out of trouble with money.
Charlotte pursed her lips as she looked through the information, and raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Do they not have any children?"
Cecilia shook her head, "No, Samantha is infertile."
Eloise's eyes lit up as she said, "Could it be that Owen found out about Samantha's infertility and wants to divorce her? In the countryside, a woman not being able to have children is considered a sin, so no one would say anything if the man divorces her."
Charlotte also thought the same and whispered, "Samantha hasn't helped Owen's career in any way, and she can't have children. Most likely, Owen wants to divorce her without letting her take anything with her. That explains why she would falsely accuse me for money and also damage Owen's reputation. It's a win-win situation for her."
"Damn! The person who bribed Samantha must be very cunning!" Eloise was shocked, "This person's mind must be as twisted as a pretzel... Char, think about it, who could possibly hate you so much!"
Cecilia said, "This whole thing was done with a high level of skill. The person behind it must have promised Samantha to help her get most of Owen's wealth. In that case, Samantha won't reveal who that person is, and she's determined to drag Charlotte down... Considering that Samantha went to the police station, the person behind this probably knows our ways of doing things. Most likely, it's someone from our circle."
Charlotte felt a bit alarmed and thought carefully for a while. Many people didn't like her since she was young, but who would hate her to this extent? Probably nobody.
Seeing her puzzled, Eloise sighed and comforted her, "At least now Nicholas shut down the campus website, so the hype should die down."
Charlotte lowered her head and agreed softly.
But in reality, shutting down the campus website only limited the students' communication channels. While eating in the cafeteria, she overheard numerous discussions like, "An illegitimate daughter remains an illegitimate daughter." "She has no shame, I really don't know how she can sleep with such an old man." "Well, you never know... As long as money is involved, even a seventy-year-old man, who could be her grandpa, might have a chance with her." "Yuck, it's disgusting..." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
There were countless such comments.
Eloise got angry and yelled at those girls. After looking at Eloise and Cecilia, the girls knew that they didn't want to mess with them. So, the girls hurriedly left.
However, with so many people in the large cafeteria, even if the president were here, it wouldn't necessarily silence these gossips.
"Char." Eloise looked worriedly at Charlotte. She couldn't stand listening to those hurtful words, let alone Charlotte, who was the one directly involved.
Charlotte shook her head and took a sip of her porridge, "Hmm... I'm fine."
Cecilia pressed her lips together and suddenly kicked over a nearby table. The loud noise finally quieted down the noisy cafeteria, and everyone looked at her.
