“I… I didn’t…” Mag Evans was trembling, unable to speak a word.

At this time, Jessi Whitman snapped out of it. She stepped forward to support Mag and shouted, “So what if Mag posted it? We just exposed the truth on the forum! It’s Xaviera Evans who’s being kept by someone, it’s her who willingly becomes a mistress!”

Mag’s years at school weren’t spent in vain. As the goddess of Libanan

University, she had countless admirers. Some boys saw Mag in tears and began to waver. “Yeah, although what Mag did this time isn’t very decent, it takes two to tango. If Xaviera hadn’t been someone’s mistress, she wouldn’t have been photographed like that, and this uproar wouldn’t have happened. Ultimately, it’s Xaviera who’s too careless!”

The students behind Xaviera were furious.

These people were using sophistry!

The dean noticed the tension between the two sides and was anxious. The situation had somehow escalated to this point, but what to do now?!

‘Everyone, calm down. There must be some misunderstanding here. You all go back to class for now. After the school’s investigation, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.”

He wanted to persuade the students to leave, but they were too angry to listen to him.

The students on Mag’s side sneered, “An explanation? I bet the school will downplay the whole thing, won’t they?” With Xaviera’s Lohill background, the school wouldn’t easily give her up. And it was precisely because they realized this that they were protesting here, wanting to take it all the way to the principal for an answer.

“So, in your eyes, the school can’t tell right from wrong?”

At a leisurely pace, Gaby Rome walked over. “The matter hasn’t been settled yet, and the school hasn’t found out if Xaviera is being kept. You all are so sure she’s a mistress just based on one picture. Is this the critical thinking ability of us university students?”

After saying this, he calmly patted the shoulder of the boy who had just spoken. “Calm down. Otherwise, if Xaviera is proven innocent, you might end up getting punished by the school for causing a commotion.”

“Why would we be punished? That photo didn’t come out of nowhere. If Xaviera hadn’t done those things, there wouldn’t be any rumors spreading around.”

“Smack!”

Gaby’s hand that had been resting on the boy’s shoulder came up in a flash, slapping him on the face. “Look, that made noise, didn’t it?”

The boy’s body shuddered, and he wanted to get angry but dared not make a scene under Gaby’s status.

An eerie silence settled around them.

Gaby acted as if he hadn’t noticed their strangeness. He gently took out a tissue and wiped his hands. “Before this matter is investigated, I don’t want to hear anyone talking nonsense anymore. Otherwise…” He smirked. “You’ll have to face the consequences.”

The people around them instantly fell silent.

They could yell and scream at Xaviera because, besides her Lohill background, she was nothing. But Gaby was different; his status in the school was unparalleled. If they offended him, they might not even be able to graduate… Seeing the fear welling up in their eyes, Gaby snorted and turned to look for

Xaviera.

Not far away, Steve Price was angrily watching Caleb Mamet. ‘Mr. President, how did we let Gaby Rome get ahead of us?! Do you think Gaby has feelings for Miss Evans? After all, they’ve known each other for a long time as senior fellow students… ”

As Steve Price was calculating, if Gaby were trying to steal Xaviera away, their boss wouldn’t stand a chance!

Caleb glanced at him coldly. “Stop talking nonsense. Let’s go.” “Huh? Go? Just like that? Where are we going?”

Caleb’s gaze turned even colder, and Steve Price instantly fell silent.

On the other side, Xaviera walked through the corridor towards the classroom.

People passing by pointed at her, “That’s the woman from the forum, right? The one being kept by an old man?”

“Wow, how dare she come to the classroom? She did something like that and still has the nerve to show up here, she must have really thick skin.”

Ignoring their words, Xaviera continued to walk forward with her hands in her pockets, only to be blocked by someone –

“Xaviera, I can’t believe you’ve stooped so low for money.”

Moore Mamet hadn’t seen the forum post, but he ran to find Xaviera after hearing the students’ gossip. He knew she was involved with an old man and allowed him to send her to school.

“Xaviera, you are a dignified Miss Evans, why do you degrade yourself? How desperate for money are you to sleep with that kind of old man? If you really lack money, you could ask your Uncle Evans, or even ask me.” Moore’s voice was filled with disappointment.

Xaviera’s expression gradually grew impatient..
