The Unwanted Girl Is Their Princess novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

The surveillance showed Betty standing at the end of the second–floor corridor, holding a vase, a deceptively sweet smile on her lips.

Soon, Zinnia appeared on the screen. Everyone in Class 19 kept their eyes glued to it. The moment Betty saw her, her smile visibly widened. That deceptively sweet grin sent chills down their spines; their hearts clenched with unease,

“Zinnia.” The mechanical, echoing voice sent chills through them, and the tone was eerily unsettling.

“What is it?” Zinnia replied, her voice flat yet gentle, still untouched by the troubles to come after just returning,

Betty delivered the vase with a smile. “Zinnia, this is Dad’s favorite vase. I don’t think you’ve ever seen one like this before. Would you like a closer look?

Watching the scene unfold, everyone in Class 19 held their breath, hearts pounding, fearing that Betty might drop the vase and smash it.

Zinnia stared at the vase as Betty deliberately loosened her grip. Worried it might fall and break, Zinnia instinctively reached out to catch it.

But before her hand could even get close, with at least half an arm’s length still between them. The vase slipped from Betty’s fingers and shattered on the floor with a sharp crash.

The crash made everyone in Class 19 jump, a wave of unease washing over them.

“Zinnia! How could you break Dad’s favorite vase?” Betty asked in feigned panic.

Hearing Betty’s voice, everyone in Class 19 felt nothing but annoyance.

Betty’s shriek brought Donald and Maelis rushing over. Zinnia, facing this for the first time, was momentarily stunned. “It wasn’t me! You dropped it before 1 could even catch it.”

“Zinnia, I thought you liked Dad’s vase, so I wanted to show it to you. But how could you break Dad’s vase?” Betty cooed with faux gentleness, her tone dripping with feigned innocence.

Donald glared at Zinnia, his face darkening with anger.

“It wasn’t me! Betty dropped the vase. She said she wanted to show it, but let go before I touched it. Why are you framing me?” Zinnia insisted, frowning, her voice growing firmer. She couldn’t understand why Betty did this.

But Donald and Maelis didn’t believe her. Maelis cast a disappointed glance at Zinnia, then turned to comfort Donald. They didn’t believe Betty would do such a thing.

Maelis and Betty steered Donald away; leaving Zinnia shrouded in bewildered solitude. No one cared about hearing her explanation. They were

convinced she was the one at fault.

“Damn it, is Betty completely shameless?” Class 19 students erupted in fury as they watched.

The footage wasn’t continuous, stitched–together clips from multiple cameras, so it looked grainy. But that still made everyone boil with rage at what

they saw.

Lydia didn’t say a word. She saved the video, closed the tab, and continued her search. With Zinnia providing the precise timeline, locating the footage wasn’t particularly difficult.

Just as Zinnia had said, Betty let her guard down completely. Betty was convinced Zinnia could never clear her name and the Shaw family would never believe her. She grew careless in her later schemes, which made it much easier to find the remaining videos.

Betty deliberately cut Maelis’s necklace with a small knife while going upstairs.
