Chapter 74: Who Threw My Book in the Trash?

Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain

Having been forced to apologize for falsely accusing Elizabeth of cheating, Ben was already in a foul mood, feeling like a dragon on the verge of explosion.

Now, with his math book missing, he exploded.

“Whose book is this? Why is it thrown away carelessly?” The study monitor retrieved a dirty math book from the trash can.

Hearing this, Ben rushed forward, grabbed the book, and flipped through it, before angrily kicking over the trash can.

“Who the hell threw my book in the trash?”

The classmates looked at each other, but no one admitted to it.

Linda, as the class monitor, stepped up to calm him down, “Ben, calm down. Maybe you knocked it over by accident when you were horsing around with someone?”

Ben frowned, “That’s impossible.”

Lily snapped, “Can you just chill? We’ve been classmates for two years now. Who would throw away your book on purpose? Are you just looking for trouble?”

Ben paused for a moment. No one in Class 2 dared to challenge him, except for one person.

He immediately suspected Elizabeth and confronted her, “Elizabeth! Did you throw my book away? Are you asking for trouble?”

Ben, who had never been treated like this, was understandably upset.

Despite Ben’s raging temper, Elizabeth remained calm and responded evenly,

“Do you have any evidence?”

“Who else could it be but you? In this class, you’re the only one who has a grudge against me. You’re just bitter because I reported you for cheating and used such a despicable trick against me!”

Ben’s eyes were wide open, his fists clenched tightly.

After a moment’s thought, Elizabeth replied.

“Firstly, at the beginning of the school year, you tried to bully me. Secondly, about the report, I don’t hold a grudge. Thirdly, you have no proof that I was the one who threw your book away.”

“Without evidence, you can’t slander me. This is defamation, and since you’re over eighteen now, you can be legally held accountable.”

Ben was left speechless.

He was inexplicably taken aback. Compared to his towering rage, Elizabeth’s calm and analytical demeanor surprisingly left him speechless.

Damn it!

Why could she always get under his skin like that? Not giving up, Ben pressed, “If not you, then who?” Elizabeth replied coolly, “That’s for you to find out.”

“Hmph.’

Lily suddenly laughed with a scornful look, “Elizabeth, still trying to defend yourself? Where were you during the second half of gym class?”

Elizabeth answered honestly, “I went to take a nap.”

“Did anyone see you?” Lily challenged.

Elizabeth frowned but didn’t respond.

The classroom was filled with murmurs. Many had seen Elizabeth leave but didn’t know where she went.

Ben interpreted Elizabeth’s silence as guilt.

“You must have done it! Still won’t admit it, even when you’re clearly guilty?”

Elizabeth repeated, “Do you have any evidence?”

Ben’s rage burned through his brain, once again confirming that Elizabeth was just making excuses. It was clearly something she had done, yet she stubbornly denied it.

This was a challenge to his position in the class!

Without even thinking, Ben grabbed the book that Elizabeth had placed on the table. “You dare to throw my book away!”

“Rip!”

Right in front of everyone, Ben tore Elizabeth’s math book in half.

The classmates were stunned, never expecting Ben to do such a thing.

Elizabeth lowered her gaze to the torn book thrown on the ground, her fingers suddenly turning white from the force of her grip.

When she finally looked up, her previously calm eyes were now filled with cold fury..
