Chapter 154 The Real Culprit
After heading to Northara, Jean’s phone had been without signal the entire time.
She couldn’t receive any messages or calls,
Now that she was back in the country, a flood of messages and even phone calls came pouring in.
She pulled out her phone and saw a name flashing on the screen….
It was a name she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Jean didn’t hesitate. She immediately answered the call. “Sofia, you-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sofia’s voice, thick with tears, came through the line. “Jean… I just feel so awful, I needed to talk to someone…”
Jean frowned instantly. “What’s wrong? Don’t cry, just tell me slowly…”
In her eyes, Sofia was just a kid. She instinctively started to soothe her.
“I didn’t really want to bother you,” Sofia sniffled. “I know you’ve been recovering, that you’ve been sick and haven’t been able to come to school… But this thing, I didn’t know who else to turn to. Keeping it bottled up is killing me…
Jean’s frown deepened.
Sofia’s obvious sadness tugged at her heart.
“If you’re upset, then just tell me everything,” Jean said, her voice softening without her realizing it.
“Actually… it doesn’t really have anything to do with me,” Sofia said, her voice halting.
Jean’s eyes filled with confusion. “Nothing to do with you?”
“Yeah,” Sofia continued. “It’s about Asher.”
Asher?
Wasn’t he the male lead?
What could have happened to him?
“He’s been framed and now he’s in a detention center,” Sofia said, the words exploding in Jean’s ear like a bolt from the blue.
The male lead ended up in detention?
What the hell?!
Jean’s mouth twitched.
Is the novel’s plot going off the rails now?

“Sofia, tell me everything from the beginning,” Jean said, pressing her lips together, her expression turning serious. “I need all the details.”
Sofia could hear the seriousness in Jean’s voice and quickly pulled herself together. “Okay, I’ll tell you.”
“Do you know Thomas?”
The familiar name shot out of Sofia’s mouth, and Jean couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
“Yeah…” Of course she knew that guy.
But a bad feeling suddenly rose in her gut.
Could it be that Asher and Thomas had already crossed paths?
Sofia’s next words confirmed Jean’s fears-
The one who had gotten Asher thrown into the detention center was none other than Thomas.
Jean frowned deeply, her mind full of questions.
Weren’t those two supposed to have no contact at all yet?!
At this point in the story, Asher hadn’t returned to the Lawson family yet. He was still living a miserable, downtrodden life, and Thomas was still the untouchable golden boy…
One was the legitimate heir, the other an illegitimate son who didn’t even know his true identity.
It was way too early for them to clash.
Jean’s gaze suddenly froze. Wait-
She remembered now.
She had deliberately hinted to Asher about the secret of his birth to disgust the Lawson siblings…
Could it be that because of my hint, the storyline had shifted?
Sh*t!
Now I’m the one who caused this mess!
