Chapter 80 - 80

Lily was running as fast as she could. Mrs. Scott was right behind her.

She checked the classrooms while she was running, trying to find an empty room. She found one and went in to hide. She was hurting too much already. She just wanted to get away from his wife.

But she wasn't fast enough. 

Lily tried to close the door, but the professor's wife was too fast. She entered the room and was right behind her. 

"Let me go! If you keep on hurting me, I will call the cops. They're going to put you behind bars," Lily said nervously.

"You took ten lakhs from my husband. I am not leaving until you return the money," Mrs. Scott demanded.

All the students who were watching followed them into the room. They were enjoying the show.

They were all flabbergasted. 

She slept with a professor and took money from him. What a disgusting woman! Now they all know how she was able to afford all those expensive things she owned.

All those branded clothing, the latest gadgets, and going to the spas and restaurants every weekend.

She recorded all her daily activities and posted it on social media. They were all witnesses on how she spent her money like it was nothing.

The women watching thought she was getting her dues. She seduced most of their boyfriends. And she even had the gall to parade them on campus, in front of the women they cheated on.

Lily always mocked them, "If you can't control your boyfriend, then it means you did not have what it takes to satisfy him."

She never stayed with one person. She jumped from one relationship to another. So the guys she ditched were enjoying her suffering as well.

"She rejected me, saying I was not good enough. But what she really meant was that I wasn't rich enough," a guy from the crowd mocked.

"Yeah, she only likes old guys," another guy snickered.

"She told me I was not fashionable, that was why my boyfriend left me. Well, not everyone has a sugar daddy to pay their bills," a girl in the crowd taunted her.

"Hahaha, it serves her right to be beaten up," someone laughingly said.

"My wife would have never chased her if she dated me," a guy said.

"Dude, you are too young for her. That slut likes old people," another guy sneered at her.

Everybody had a story to tell, and they were not afraid to do a recount of how Lily bullied them. It was their chance to humiliate Lily, just like she did them.

Lily felt ashamed of listening to all the comments. She could not listen to this. Why is everyone taunting her? It was driving her mad.

She was popular, and most people worshipped her. Now they look at her like she's trash. Every taunt was a nail to her heart. She was on top. 

"I've recorded everything, I just need to upload it, and everyone will see who you really are," a girl said.

She did not notice that a lot of them were recording. When she became aware of this, she got scared. Her future will be ruined when this goes viral.

How can she get married and have a career? Her life will be destroyed.

"All of you listen to me! Delete the video! I will sue all of you if you don't delete it," Lily screamed, like a madwoman.

"You are not ashamed to be a homewrecker, so why are you ashamed of people knowing who you are?" a guy asked.

Mrs. Scott exploded like a volcano. She started kicking and punching Lily.

"Ahh! stop it!" Lily tried to hide her face as she fell to the floor. 

She put more force into it and kicked her again and again.

"You are going to kill me," Lily breathed heavily.

"Die you witch! Rot in hell!" Mrs. Scott stopped for a second.

"You slut, stop right there!" She screamed, seeing Lily trying to get up.

She crawled away and tried to pull herself up. Unbeknownst to Lily, she entered the chemistry lab. 

Caution signs were everywhere because there were a lot of chemicals on the shelves, and most of them were toxic and harmful. 

She ached everywhere. Without paying attention, she used a shelf to pull herself up. It toppled the shelves, and chemical bottles shattered everywhere.

A bottle got broken on her head, and the liquid inside started dripping down her face. 

She didn't know what it was, but it started to burn. It was sulphuric acid. 

"Ahhhhh! Ahhhhhh!" Lily screamed. She was in pain.

Within seconds half of her face was burnt.

No one tried to help her. Mrs. Scott watched this with great pleasure.

What goes around always comes around. And Karma just came back to bite her in the butt. Lily just destroyed her own life. 

The beauty that she treasured so much was now gone. She mocked too many girls about how ugly they were, and now she won't even be able to look at herself in the mirror. She will need to hide her face from everyone her whole life.

She was a detestable human being. She even tried to harm Ava by releasing noxious fumes in the lab once before. She was lucky nothing dangerous happened to Ava. 

Today in the same lab, she met her downfall and badly burned her face. 

The faculty members were alerted about the commotion. But by the time they got there, Lily already met her tragic accident. They called the paramedics to assist.

Lily, because of pain and shock, passed out.

When the professor heard the news that a student got caught sleeping with a teacher, he came running down from his office. He was perplexed when he saw his wife.

He never thought his wife would find out about his affair. And to top that off, she made a scene in the college and beat Lily.

The reputation he had worked so hard for was gone in a second. The respect he had earned from his colleagues and students were gone.

"Look at him acting like a dignified man in the classroom, and outside he was cheating on his wife," someone from the crowd said.

"Yeah, sleeping with a student who is young enough to be his daughter," said another.

"Always follow what you preach," remarked someone from the back.

"Hey, I heard Lily scored the highest mark in his subject," his student said.

"Guess when he saw her naked, he gave her full marks," someone sneered.

Students started piling one hateful remark after another. Mr. Scott bowed down his head in shame.

The students who were so scared to talk to him in the class were now mocking him in public. 

He worshipped his job and gave it his all. But now, because of a mistake, they talked about him like he was a fraud. 

That he only gave high marks to people he slept with. It was a one time deal, but they didn't know that.

"Guess he has probably been doing this for many years, but this time his wife caught him," said another student. 

"We studied so hard, and we got low marks," said a female student.

"He should be dismissed," one guy said.

"Yes, absolutely," another person said.

"Discharge! Discharge!" the crowd started chanting.

"No, no, give me a chance to explain," Mr. Scott panicked. He tried to say something, but no one was willing to listen to him.

He looked at his wife, not knowing what to say.

"I am sending you the divorce papers tonight, sign it immediately," the wife said. She didn't even bother to look at him.

"What are you talking about? I am not divorcing you!" He never even thought of divorcing his wife.

He just slept with Lily to fulfill his desire. They were married for so many years. They had kids, and everything was perfect.

"I am not asking you. I am telling you. All the properties will belong to me since you have cheated on me. So, just sign the divorce papers and get lost!" the wife threatened him.

"Our daughter is getting married soon. What will you say to the groom's family?" the professor used his last card.

"Don't worry! I will tell everyone that you are a scumbag. Our children will understand why I'm doing it when I tell them how you gave the wedding money to your mistress. That was ten lakhs," the wife said.

"I …," He had nothing to say to his wife. He didn't think she knew about that.

"I am sorry! Please forgive me. I am begging you," Mr. Scott pleaded.

"I will never forgive you. Not in this lifetime," the wife snapped at him.

The news reached the dean in no time. So he called Mr. Scott into his office. 

Mr. Scott got discharged, and his reputation got tarnished. Fooling around with a student violated the code of conduct for the college. It was also against the law, so no matter how much he begged, the dean did not budge. 

If the dean did not take his stand today, the college would be ruined. 

Mr. Scott was blacklisted ever since the video became viral. No other colleges wanted him.

Both his career and marriage came to an end on the same day. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that his one moment of weakness would cost him so much.

He regretted his affair with Lily. He even blamed and cursed her. But he knew that he was equally responsible for his state. Before they got caught, he always justified that he deserved to have Lily.

Now he is paying the price.
