Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1262: I Was There That Night Too!

Willow Crawford’s clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to pause and turn around.

"Willow, you’re here?" At this moment, Freddy, the student council president, enthusiastically ran over.

Freddy was a senior, tall and handsome, serving as the president of the student council. His father was also the leader of the board of directors and just donated two large cafeterias this year. The family was very affluent, and earlier, he was the most vocal critic of Miles Linden, showing his strong dislike for him.

Seeing Willow, Freddy’s eyes brightened as he openly expressed his attentiveness and fondness towards her, "Willow, we’re all here denouncing Miles Linden. Isn’t Miles in the same class as you? You won’t need to be afraid anymore because today we’ll drive Miles away."

Freddy’s father is a business mogul. He had long heard that his son had a crush on Willow. Now, seeing Willow’s radiant beauty and the superior upbringing evident even in her stance, he was quite satisfied.

These business moguls were good judges of character. Although Willow had hidden her name, her perfect family pedigree and broad horizons were apparent from her very essence, and Aurora always shone brilliantly.

"Are you Willow Crawford?" President Vegat looked at Willow, "What’s your father’s name? It seems like there’s no prominent family with the surname Crawford in our high society."

There were no prominent families with the surname Crawford here, but Crawford was a common name. President Vegat knew that in the City of Aethelgard, the genuinely powerful name was Crawford, a name beyond the reach of these high society families.

Willow looked at President Vegat’s calculating eyes, feeling deeply repulsed. They bullied Miles Linden simply because of his poor family background. Like Hannah Alden, who was also the daughter of a CEO of a listed company, no one dared to touch her.

"Willow, why did you come forward?" At this moment, Rachel Underwood squeezed in, pulling on Willow, "Willow, let’s not get involved in this. Let’s go back to class."

Rachel found Willow’s behavior strange. Willow was calm and gentle by nature and disliked gossip and excitement, but she came forward on the matter regarding Miles Linden.

Rachel remembered that last time Willow even spoke up for Miles Linden.

Willow didn’t leave, "I’m here to watch the fun."

"Alright then, Willow, stand with me. Together, we can surely drive Miles away." Freddy was eager to show off in front of Willow.

Willow’s lips curved slightly as she looked at Freddy, "Why do you think you can drive Miles away?"

"This Miles Linden got into One High through some shady means, and I heard his sister..."

Freddy’s words were cut off directly by Willow, "Do you know his sister? Does anyone here know his sister?"

Freddy stiffened, completely taken aback. He thought Willow was on his side, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Willow’s smile vanished, and her clear bright eyes became exceptionally cold. Her gaze moved from Freddy’s face to President Vegat’s face and then slowly surveyed the crowd present, "Since none of you know his sister, isn’t it slanderous for you to make baseless accusations here against a girl?"

Oh my.

What is this Willow doing?

The previously noisy scene quickly became silent as everyone looked at Willow in shock. Was she standing up for... Miles Linden?

When the world’s rumors were like a massive snowball crashing down on Miles, she stepped forward, fearlessly and resolutely standing by Miles.

"But... but it’s true that Miles Linden and Hannah Alden were meeting on the balcony. One High School absolutely prohibits early romance," President Vegat quickly said.

Willow found it laughable. This President Vegat, who was so intent on curbing early romance, was tacitly allowing his son’s early romantic feelings.

"That night, Miles and Hannah were on the balcony, and I was there too."

Hiss.

As soon as those words fell, the whole crowd drew in their breaths.

Who could have imagined that the case of early romance, already considered conclusive, had now turned on its head? Willow overturned everything.

"I was there that night, and as for what the three of us were doing on the balcony, sorry, no comment, because it’s private. In any case, Hannah and I couldn’t possibly have been on the balcony with Miles for a romantic rendezvous, so the rumor that Miles and Hannah were having a balcony date is completely false. I believe the school should catch the person spreading these rumors and severely punish them, clearing the name of the innocent!" Willow’s voice was firm.

No one spoke; the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Willow added herself into the situation, using her own stance to prove the innocence of Miles and Hannah. The developments were beyond everyone’s imagination.

Rachel looked at Willow in shock, questioning if she had gone crazy, putting herself on the line for Miles. A late-night balcony meeting of the school’s beauty, Willow, with the former school beauty Hannah, and Miles—had she considered the consequences?

The news would explode across One High School by tomorrow, classmates would talk behind their backs, and countless versions of little stories would begin to spread. Had Willow given up her reputation? Why implicate herself?

Willow knew what the consequences would be, but she didn’t care. In the end, this matter started because of her, and once it was over, her ties with Miles would be cut.

In the future, she wouldn’t concern herself with him anymore.

While everyone was in shock, Principal Young returned. He was a highly respected professor, and he spoke, "It seems I returned just in time. Since Willow has already cleared up the misunderstanding, everyone can disperse."

"But Principal Young, Miles, he..." President Vegat still wanted to struggle.

Principal Young waved his hand, "Miles got into One High through normal procedures. If any of you have doubts, you can have the education bureau investigate. The matter of early romance ends here. Tomorrow, let Miles and Hannah return to class."

This time, Principal Young’s attitude was very firm. Everyone could tell he was also protecting Miles.

As for why he was protecting the notorious problem student Miles, no one knew.

Nor did they have any answers about how Miles got into One High School.

The crowd dispersed.

Everyone left, and Principal Young approached Willow, "Willow, are you friends with Miles?"

Friends with him?

Willow quickly denied it. She didn’t want to talk about Miles anymore, "No, I’m not familiar with him. I’m just stating facts, Principal Young. I’m going back to class." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Willow left immediately.

Principal Young stood there, finding it interesting. On one side was the destined daughter, little Princess Willow, and on the other, the genius problem boy. Truly interesting.

Principal Young entered his office and dialed a phone number.

The other end picked up leisurely, and a calm, magnetic voice came through, "Hello."

"Hello, Miles, it’s me, Old Man Young." Principal Young chuckled as he cozied up.

The other end was Miles Linden.
