“No wonder Lynette always acts so spoiled and arrogant. Moreover, she always ignores us even when we talk to her.”
“Janet is quite pitiful too. If both Lynette’s father and uncle step forward, Lynette will probably get away with what she did.”
“Who knows? I heard that even Lynette’s placement in the performing arts school was obtained through her uncle’s influence!”
“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Looks like Lynette is quite a piece of work. At this rate, even the top scorer of the college entrance exams will not be able to do anything to her!”
Robert listened to the sounds of discussion becoming louder and louder outside his office. Trying his best to suppress his anger, he turned to look at Lynette. “You are at fault here. Please apologize to Miss Jackson. Unfortunately, whether she forgives you or not is another matter altogether.
As soon as Lynette heard those words, she stopped trying to feign ignorance and revealed her original ferocious expression. “Apologize? Didn’t this matter end without any consequences? Why should I apologize for it?”
Just because I was being nice, these people are desperately trying to step on me. I can’t be bothered to pretend any longer. Besides, Mr. Goldstein cannot expel me out of respect for my father and uncle! As those thoughts flashed through Lynette’s head, she stepped forward. Opening the door of the principal’s office, she walked out. I’m going to tell my father and my uncle that even a bumpkin from the countryside dares to look down on me. So what if she knows how to use a computer? Does she think of herself as a hacker? So what if she gets perfect scores? It’s not like her social status will be as great as mine!
Lynette walked into the sophomore class of the performing arts school and angrily sat down on a stool.
Carmen frowned. She approached Lynette and asked, “Lynette, about this incident…”
Lynette scoffed slightly. “What do my actions signify? All I did was give Janet a chance to flourish and stand in the limelight! Not only did she not appreciate my help, but she also blamed me! How disgusting!”
She could never have imagined that Janet would be able to fix the dress in such a short time, much less discover that she was behind it. Even now, she still couldn’t get over her anger.
“But, aren’t you afraid of being expelled by Mr. Goldstein? After all, the other party is the top scorer of the college entrance exams!” Carmen cautiously said.
Robert was caught between a rock and a hard place. On one side was the top scorer of the college entrance exams, and on the other side was somebody who entered Woodsbury University through her connections. He couldn’t afford to offend anybody!
“Expel me? As if he dares to do so. Don’t forget; my uncle is a lecturer at this university!” Lynette glowered as she openly announced that fact. Her gaze was extremely ferocious.
Upon hearing those words, Carmen stiffened for a moment and blinked in surprise. What everybody was saying is true! Lynette’s uncle is a lecturer at the university! Lynette had always looked down on her for nearly a year now. Although they were on good terms, it was only on the surface—Lynette had never considered her as a real friend. Naturally, it wasn’t just in the past. It was still the same even now!
Lynette curled her lips and raised her eyebrows. In the past, I kept that fact to myself to keep a low profile. But, I never expected Janet to come to me with a fight! I will never forget that moment when Janet placed that phone screen in front of me and the video started playing. Since she refuses to respect me, then I don’t have to hold back against her any longer!
Inside the principal’s office, Janet did not storm off as rashly as Lynette did. Instead, she leisurely sat on the sofa, seemingly waiting for something. Needless to say, Robert knew what she was waiting for—she was waiting for the school’s decision regarding this incident! Thus, he smilingly rubbed his chin and asked his assistant to pour some water for her.
