…….
On the field, the crowd was bustling below the stage.
“What’s happening? Who did this?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Janet is too cruel. What did Emily do to her?”
“Who else could’ve done this? It’s obvious.”
“Looks like we’ll have something to keep us entertained for now.”
The principal’s face grew darker. Hasn’t all of this been resolved? Why make it public?
Who wanted to ruin Star High School’s reputation?
If word got out, no one would dare to enroll in their school.
Lilian glanced over at the principal who had fallen into deep thought and a bitter smile flashed across her face.
I told this old man that Janet was an accident waiting to happen. Yet, they still protected her like they were protecting treasure. Now that this has happened, it’ll be over for Janet.
Regarding this incident where Janet beat up Emily, even the Gods could not protect her now.
…….
In Class A, Emily was crying like a person in despair and her tearful appearance was heartbreaking to witness. However, she felt a fleeting moment of joy.
Master Nato? Excellent grades? Beautiful? F Class’s pride and hope? I gave her a chance. If she apologized to me yesterday, I might have forgiven her. But… she doesn’t know good from bad. She deserved this. All of these titles will disappear like smoke tomorrow. Let’s see who will still dare to be around such a violent girl.
All Emily had to do was hire a hacker and it was over for Janet.
For someone who was this easily crushed, what right did Janet have to go up against her?
“Emily, does your face still hurt?” her classmates asked out of concern as they surrounded her.
Sobbing softly, she murmured, “I’m fine now. You don’t need to worry about me anymore. Don’t blame Janet. She didn’t do it on purpose.”
The moment she said that, everyone in Class A felt even worse for her.
Emily was clearly trying to portray herself as the kind person who got beaten up by Janet, making people question if there was justice in the world.
…
To protect Janet and prevent any arguments from breaking out, Mason kept her in the dean’s office for the time being.
There were not a lot of emotions on her face and she simply kept her eyes lowered as though she was in deep thought.
Mason felt anguished at the sight of her.
When I wasn’t around, she might’ve endured much worse than this.
“Shut down all the servers, including Twitter and Reddit, for half a day. No one is allowed to do anything that slanders Janet during this time.”
Sean nodded. Looking at a nervous Mason, he did not dare to waste another minute either.
“Don’t worry. I will find the hacker who did this.” Mason took a few steps forward and pulled Janet into his arms.
The warmth of his chest reached the depths of her soul and moved something within her. A rush of emotions finally filled her eyes. “Thank you.”
He held her gently and did not say anything for a long time.
Even though they did not speak to each other, they trusted each other—it was an undeniable trust.
Suddenly, an idea came to her.
“Can I use the computer for a bit? I have something to do.” Her gaze fell on his laptop.
He nodded and murmured, “The password is your name in lowercase letters.”
“My name in lowercase letters?” She raised a brow up at him.
Not long after, she was sitting at his office desk with a flushed face.
Her slender hands were flying all over the keyboard. It sparked Mason’s curiosity and prompted him to walk over to see what she was doing.
Before he could take a step, however, a knock came on the door.
With his permission, Black Python huffed with his brows furrowed. “Young Master Mason, the principal is looking for Miss Jackson all over the school right now.”
Because the principal did not know about their relationship, he did not know that Janet was in the dean’s office at this very moment.
