No way! That’s impossible! Jennifer shook her head vigorously in disbelief. How did the chat messages and bank transactions in her phone get exposed to the public? Was it the doing of the assassins she had hired?
That was unlikely because to those who were involved in jobs like these, integrity was their motto. However, nothing else could explain how the information appeared on Reddit. Then, who was the one who sabotaged her? She had to get the principal’s help now.
The girls watched her storm off and started sniggering.
“Even the principal cannot save her now.”
“Tsk, not only is she going to be expelled, she will even be sent to jail for committing a crime!”
“That’s for sure. Not even her father can save her now.”
…
The matter caused a sensational stir in Star High School. The students all left their classrooms and swarmed to the principal’s office to peek in on the ensuing drama.
Meanwhile, Janet was leaning against the table sleeping when Abby and Gordon approached her hurriedly and asked, “Janet, are you alright?”
Janet looked up groggily and nodded her head. “I’m alright. What’s going on?”
Abby and Gordon looked stunned for several seconds, eyeing her disbelievingly. “Janet, rumor has it Jennifer hired some assassins to kill you. It’s all over our school’s Reddit forum now.”
“I had no idea.” Janet just shook her head at them.
Not bothering to explain it in detail to her, Abby and Gordon hauled her out of the classroom. “Let’s go! Let’s see what it is all about!”
Grinning, Janet thought she ought to join in the excitement too. With a faint smile, she agreed. By the time the three of them reached the door of the principal’s office, there were already throngs of students, including some teachers, hovering outside.
Jennifer was shrieking, “Sir, you have to believe me! I didn’t do anything of that sort! You must instruct the students to delete their comments in the forum or all of you will suffer very badly when my dad hears about this!”
Who on earth was the one who sabotaged her and put her in such a dire situation? Glancing at the bunch of nosy students who were watching the drama outside, she spotted Janet and all of a sudden, what she said to her in the morning popped in her mind. “You know what? Those who tried to sabotage me all paid a very heavy price.”
To everyone’s surprise, Jennifer suddenly pounced on Janet and seized her by the collar of her school uniform as she growled, “Were you the one? It must be you! Janet Jackson, you dirty little b*tch!”
Janet looked as though she was on the verge of bursting into tears, her eyes glistening. “Sir, what’s wrong with Jennifer? I’m scared!” she croaked.
Gordon stepped forward and gripped Jennifer’s hands. “Let go of her! You’re frightening her!”
Staring at Janet and Gordon, Jennifer felt as if her head was exploding; the hatred, rage and jealousy surging in her body were overwhelming. Why? Why was Young Master Yaleman now on her side? She couldn’t accept it! She charged forward and grabbed Janet’s uniform again. “It must be you who sabotaged me! I’m very sure!” she roared angrily.
The principal approached them to mediate the fight. “Jennifer, why are you doing this to Janet? Let her go now.” Although they usually disliked Janet, they could still see that Janet was the victim in this situation.
Jennifer looked terrifying as she glowered at Janet, her eyes brimming with rage and hatred. Since Janet had ruined her life, she had to kill her. Immediately, she lifted her hand, intending to give Janet a slap. Her cheeks would surely become swollen and red.
However, just moments before her hand connected with Janet’s face, Gordon grasped her wrist tightly and managed to stop her just in time. Looking down, Janet had on a miserable look as she asked, “Jennifer, what are you trying to do?”
“Young Master Yaleman…” It had never occurred to Jennifer that Gordon would actually grip her wrist so hard just to protect Janet.
“Jennifer Lewis, what are you doing? How dare you attack Gordon?”
Fury and indignance was eating Jennifer up. Couldn’t they see it was Gordon who was holding her wrist in such a tight grasp and refused to let her go?
“Jennifer Lewis, the management of Star High School has unanimously decided to expel you because of your morally corrupt behavior,” the principal announced righteously.
Face turning pale, Jennifer denied, “No, Sir; I’m not! I’m not!” It was the end of the world for Jennifer.
At that moment, Janet suddenly stepped forward and spoke, “Sir, I have no idea about what was said on the forum. Could there have been a misunderstanding?”
