Chapter One Hundred Twenty Nine: Her Dark Past

Lunchtime.

Surprisingly, Van didn't talk to me about having lunch together. I was relieved at first,but it made me feel uneasy afterwards.

I realized that I must have treated him rudely this morning.

I decided to look for him. As I was making my way at the way, I heard a group of girls gossiping.

"Hey, did you know the reason behind Nao Nishikawa's adoption?" one girl suddenly said.

"Oh? What is it? Tell us!" asked the other one.

I gritted my teeth in anger and frustration. These girls are even worst than a bunch of gossiping housewives.

I strained my ear as I hid myself to the wall nearby. I waited for them to speak again.

"--You all know that my mom is working at our town's Social Services Department, right? She accidentally found out Nao's

family background!" the main gossiper blabbered on.

"Just tell us quickly!" breathed the others.
