Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Expert Fighter (3)
Secretary Archer’s expression turned cold. "You’re all spouting nonsense! Just as Ms. White said, the three of you are in this together, ganging up on her!"
He then turned to the Dean of Students. "Dean, I don’t mean to overstep, but look at the kind of students you’ve admitted this year! These girls are forming cliques, acting wild and unreasonable. You have to expel them!"
The Dean of Students’ expression was grim. He shot Shirley Ewing and Fiona Wright a glare. "Was I talking to you? Vera Xavier, you speak."
Vera Xavier glanced at the arrogant Secretary Archer, then at Laura White, who was sitting to the side looking smugly confident. She said calmly, "The truth is just as Shirley Ewing described it. We didn’t try to hit Laura White today. She was the one who used her family’s power and influence to attack us first. For that, she must apologize to us in front of the entire school!"
’Even though I don’t know what Nathaniel has planned, Laura White has to apologize.’
’And last time, just because I was a little late, the dean gave my public speaking slot to Susan Caldwell just to curry favor with her. Fundamentally, this dean probably isn’t a man of much integrity.’
’So, if Nathaniel doesn’t have a plan, I’ll have to solve this myself. It might be a little more difficult, but I’m not afraid.’
"Nonsense!" Secretary Archer said coldly. "Who do you think you are? You hit our Ms. White, and you actually expect her to apologize to you?"
He then said to the Dean of Students, "It’s obvious the three of them are in this together, so there’s no need to listen to anything they have to say. Dean, please expel them all immediately!"
The dean knew that while the White Family’s status in Veridia wasn’t at the very top, they could still completely crush a minor dean like him. He didn’t like Secretary Archer’s methods, but he couldn’t afford to offend the White Family.
As for Vera Xavier, her grades were excellent, but as far as he knew, she had no connections whatsoever. She was just a girl from an ordinary family in Crestfall.
The same went for Shirley Ewing and Fiona Wright; neither of them had any influential backing.
The university president had always taught him that as educators, they must not bow to the rich and powerful. But in a situation like this, he had to take action, and he did not want to offend the White Family.
So, he cleared his throat and said, "The situation is indeed clear. Vera Xavier and the others ganged up to injure someone. The circumstances are egregious..."
Just then, the phone on his desk rang. He had no choice but to get up and answer it.
Laura White, who had been silent the whole time, stood up and walked over to Vera Xavier. "Vera Xavier," she said, "I didn’t want to use my family’s power. I just wanted to compete with you fair and square. But your character is despicable, and you have absolutely no self-respect. You even dared to lay a hand on me today. So, I’m going to teach you a lesson and show you that there’s always someone bigger and better out there!"
Vera Xavier stared at Laura White’s smug face and let out a long, silent sigh. ’I really never thought of Laura White as a malicious person,’ she thought. ’But now it seems I’ve underestimated the destructive power of jealousy.’
She felt as though fate had taught her another harsh lesson. In such a short time, her entire image of Laura White had completely collapsed.
’In her two lifetimes, she had seen plenty of humanity’s darker side. But when faced with these university students, she still wanted to believe in the good in people.’
