Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 67. The scapegoat

Helen’s POV

We arrived at school and I definitely felt immensely proud of myself at the buzz of excitement and gossip that was in the air. Everyone loved a good ol' piece of salacious gossip and I had just given them something to sink their teeth into and talk bait for the rest of the year.

I scrolled down my phone, unable to stop smiling at the mean comments that had been left read under the nude pictures of Olivia we had posted, using an anonymous account.

Slut!

And she was always acting like a goody two shoes.

I should have known she was like this.

Blech

So ugly

Despite the barrage of hate comments that had been posted, I was not satisfied. I wanted more, but I consoled myself with the fact that Olivia would never be able to show her face in public again.

Trisha and I glanced at each other covertly grinning and smiling. Everyone in school was gossiping about the pictures calling Olivia all sorts of names. I occasionally glanced at Lucas and Lucien to see their reactions but their expressions were unreadable.

Don't worry, my loves. She'll soon be out of our lives for good. And then… You will be all mine.

Our classes had been delayed due to the teachers holding an impromptu meeting over the incident. Noise blared out from every classroom as students made use of the free period to do as they wished.

I turned to Lucas and Lucien and asked them if they suspected anyone who could be holding grudges against Olivia.

Infusing concern into my voice, I placed a hand over my heart and told them that I believed Olivia would be so heartbroken over having her nude pictures leaked.

“There is one,” Lucas said, anger in his voice as he glanced back at Trisha. Trisha wasn’t aware that Lucas was staring at her as she was so focused on her phone.

“But I don’t have any evidence. I mean yesterday was the first time she spent her night at the palace and she had a rift with Olivia and came to apologize to her after she already gave a public apology to her. Obviously, it seems fishy.,” he added.

I shook my head sadly and told him that Trisha had been with me the whole night.

“She was in the room with me all night, Lucas. She is innocent. I think you should think harder if there is anyone else.” I said, worriedly as I creased my eyebrows.

Ugh, all this pretending is taking a toll on my skin. I'll skin Olivia alive if I see a hint of a wrinkle on my face.

Lucas shook his head as though he didn’t believe me. Lucien also seemed to be deep in his thoughts, a rarity for him. I quickly texted Trisha telling her not to let her guard down as the triplets were suspicious of her. She texted me back immediately telling me she was scared. I looked at her and glared at her, wishing I could just smack her head or shake the silliness out of her.

I quickly sent her a text informing her that I will be her alibi, and that she had no reason to be scared. I motioned for her to check her phone and she did, breathing out as a sigh of relief as she did.

Just as I placed my phone on my desk, Lucas picked up his phone and tapped a few buttons, seemingly dialing a number. The person picked up and he told the person that he had sent him some pictures, so he should find the IP address of the person who sent the pictures to the school website.

I was taken aback, unable to think straight. I didn’t know that Lucas would intervene. Although we used a fake IP address, I know that Lucas will get to the bottom of the matter to get the truth. I was lost in thoughts and I didn’t hear Lucien calling my name.

“Helen!” He shouted tapping my shoulder and I quickly turned to him asking him what was wrong. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“What are you thinking about?” He asked.

I was short of words as I didn’t know what to say. Just then Lucas curts in and told me not to be worried about Olivia and that she would be fine. Lucien smiled and assured me that Olivia will be okay. I smiled awkwardly at them and just then Lucas received a call from the person he called earlier and he was told that they were unable to find who the owner of the IP address is but the pictures he sent to him were photoshopped. Lucas was so angry that he banged his hand on his chair, breaking it into pieces. The whole class was so startled looking at our direction. Lucien glowered at them to stop looking at our side. I became so scared as Lucas gave the order to find the owner of the IP address at all cost.

Trisha texted me asking what was wrong but I ignored her text. I smiled awkwardly at Lucan and Lucien then excused myself to use the restroom.

I was angry and at the same time I was scared as I walked to the restroom.

Who cares if she is okay or not. I hope she stays that way forever not remembering who she is or the kind of relationship she had with the triplets.

I dialed my dad’s number and he picked up immediately. I told him about the incident and that it will only take some time for Lucas to find out that I was behind the whole matter. I plead to him to help me out so that I won’t lose the triplets’ favor. My father was mad at me that I didn’t tell him about my plan. Finally, he agreed to help me after pleading to him. He asked if I had an accomplice and I told him about Trisha’s involvement.

“There you have it. The scapegoat will be Trisha.” He said, smiling.

“Helen!” Trisha screamed out my name.

Fuck!
