Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Fighting Expert (2)
Vera Xavier was the first student in Veridia University’s history to be admitted with a perfect score on all her entrance exams, so of course, she had made a deep impression on him. But he never would have expected such an outstanding young woman to get into a fight.
He felt this needed to be handled carefully. Otherwise, these girls would think they could get away with anything.
Vera Xavier remained calm as she followed, but Shirley Ewing and Fiona Wright were a little nervous. They had been model students their whole lives, and this was the first time they had ever been called to the dean’s office.
When Vera Xavier and the others arrived at the dean’s office, Laura White was already sitting there, her face grim. Beside her sat a man in his thirties.
The moment they walked in, the man pointed a finger in Vera Xavier’s face and yelled, "Are you girls here to study or to start fights? I can tell just by looking at you that you’re no good. I suggest we expel them all immediately!"
"And who might you be?" Vera Xavier asked, looking at the man.
The man replied with a haughty air, "My name is Archer. I’m Mr. White’s secretary."
He was a clever man, referring to him only as "Mr. White" and not mentioning his official title.
Vera Xavier let out a simple "Oh," then turned to the dean of students. "Sir, he’s trying to do your job for you. Aren’t you going to do something about it?"
Fiona Wright and Shirley Ewing couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.
Secretary Archer immediately glared at them, and the two quickly suppressed their laughter. Fiona Wright turned to the dean of students. "Sir, you called us here because you wanted to understand what happened tonight. We just got here and haven’t said a single word, yet he’s already demanding our expulsion. Surely that’s unreasonable!"
Before the dean could speak, Secretary Archer cut in coldly, "Ms. White has already explained what happened. Your side of the story is irrelevant!"
"Is that true, sir?" Vera Xavier asked, turning to the dean.
By now, the dean was also getting annoyed with Secretary Archer. ’Yes, the White Family has some influence in Veridia,’ he thought, ’but this man’s attitude is far too arrogant. No matter what, this is Veridia University, and this is my turf!’
Besides, he had already been reprimanded by the university president at the start of military training. The president was someone who wouldn’t even give the Caldwell Family special treatment. ’Compared to the Caldwells, what does the White Family amount to?’
So, the dean said evenly, "I’m afraid that’s not quite right, Secretary Archer. When students get into a fight, we have to hear from everyone involved. We can’t rely on a one-sided account."
He turned to Vera Xavier. "Why don’t you tell me what happened?"
Just as Vera Xavier was about to speak, Shirley Ewing stepped forward. "Sir, Laura White hit me first. Vera came over to break it up, but Laura started cursing at her and then attacked her, too. Vera couldn’t take it anymore and fought back! I never laid a hand on Laura White, which is why she’s claiming she was an innocent victim. Then, when she couldn’t win against Vera, she decided to blow this all out of proportion and call her family to pull strings. That’s going way too far!"
Fiona Wright immediately chimed in, "That’s right! That’s exactly what happened!"
’The moment they walked in, Secretary Archer had demanded their expulsion. They couldn’t just stand for that!’
’Besides, there were only four of them in the dorm room earlier. With Vera Xavier, Shirley Ewing, and Fiona Wright all on one side now, if it came down to a numbers game, they had the advantage. They weren’t afraid!’
