A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 458
“I didn’t know that Arielle is that good at fighting. However, does that mean she has broken the school rules?”
Hearing that, a girl suddenly explained, “That isn’t only against the school rules, but it is also against the law.”
Arielle and the rest of the class glanced over at the source of the voice and saw Kelsea standing up. “The victims in the video are my friends. Aren’t you at least feel sorry for them, Arielle? They are all lying in hospital as we speak!”
Kelsea chided Arielle.
Yet, Arielle remained expressionless as she lazily leaned back in her chair.
Her eyes were sharp, and there was a look in her eyes that scared Kelsea. The latter could feel her hair standing
Does Arielle know that I sent those people there? That’s impossible! The forum is anonymous, and I doubt Arielle would even know of its existence, much less figure out my identity. Even if Arielle managed to guess that it was me, what can she do to me without any proof? Besides, I have ordered the hacker to format the first half of the video such that Arielle can’t explain herself even if she wanted to. Hmm… she probably thinks she could explain herself, which is why she seems so calm.
At that thought, Kelsea’s racing heart began to calm
down.
She did not want to waste more time on Arielle. Anyway, the more she spoke, there would be more room for error. Turning to Donovan, she proposed, “Mr. Baxter and Mr. Brown, I don’t think someone like Arielle should be allowed in this class. Please expel her!”
Ahem! Marcus knew there was no way they could keep the matter under wraps anymore.
Letting out a sigh, he did not bother asking Arielle to leave the class with them anymore. Instead, he announced, “We have yet to investigate the matter. It is only a video, and it is not enough to prove that Arielle was at fault-”
Before Marcus could finish, Wendy stood up.
“Mr. Brown, we already have the video as evidence. Isn’t that enough to prove that Arielle was involved in a fight? Are you only trying to protect her? Do you know that once the media catches wind of this incident, it will have a devastating impact on our school reputation?”
Kelsea quickly jumped in too. “You can’t make all the students from Jadeborough University get affected because of one student.”
Slowly, Marcus felt cold sweat on his forehead.
Of course, he wanted to retain Jadeborough University’s reputation.
He might have allowed students into the school through connections, but they were all done for the sake of the school.
Four students bribed their way into this school, and he did not take a single cent for himself. He had honestly used them all on the school.
However, Kelsea was still berating Marcus and was only short of accusing him of siphoning the school funds and being corrupted.
By now, Marcus was under a lot of pressure.
Trembling, he closed his eyes.
As much as he wanted to hide it from the public, the matter had escalated to the degree that it was only a matter of time before the public knew about it.
He could not put Jadeborough University’s reputation at stake because Vinson promised to fund a laboratory building.
I cannot be the one to ruin the school’s hundred-year legacy. Otherwise, everyone will render me a villain for life.
Gritting his teeth, he opened his eyes to look at Arielle. “Arielle, do you admit being the girl in the recording?”
Arielle nodded. “Yes, that is me.”
Immediately, the class was thrown into an uproar.
“Mr. Brown, since she has admitted it, the next step should be to kick her out of school. Isn’t that right?” Donovan did not miss the chance to make his point.
Marcus waved his hands to get everyone to stay down.
Sighing, he regretfully stated, “I’m sorry, Arielle. You have broken the school rules this time, and the only thing I can do is to let you leave the school on your own accord.”
