"Just wait and see!" Julian threatened me before hanging up.


    I was busy organizing the information Alex wanted and didn''t have time to dwell on it.


    I received a call from the university administration the next morning. I thought that Alex had arrived. When I hurried over to the office, I was surprised to find that Julian was sitting there instead. I started to get a bad feeling in my heart.


    Julian stood up and said to Mr. Augustine with an aggrieved expression, "It''s her. Peter, the things she said were so hurtful that I ended up resorting to self-harm." Mr. Augustine''s expression immediately darkened.


    I scoffed inwardly. Julian really was bad at reading the situation. Was Julian really calling the principal by his name in this setting?


    "Serena, would you care to exin yourself?" Mr. Augustine reluctantly asked.


    Mr. Herbs stepped forward and said haughtily, "What''s there to exin? The evidence is clear. Yesterday, we told you to find some proof by today. Did you manage to find anything?"


    I shook my head. "Julian is trying to falsely use me. You can''t just listen to his side of the story."


    "If you im that it''s a false usation, then produce the evidence," Mr. Herbs retorted aggressively. It was clear that he was trying to win Julian''s favor.


    I looked at Mr. Herbs and couldn''t help but sneer. "The user should be the one who needs to prove it. If Julian says my words provoked him, then he needs to show the evidence. You can''t just ask me to prove that I didn''t say those things."


    "The video online is evidence enough," Mr. Herbs said as he stood up to face me. His eyes were filled with malice and vengeance.


    Julian had Mr. Herbs and Mr. Augustine behind him. Meanwhile, I was alone. It was clear what kind of situation I was in.


    Mr. Augustine and Mr. Herbs didn''t want to know what the truth waszat all. They just wanted to gain favor with the kes. They also wanted to suppress the issue to protect the


    university''s reputation.


    I was trembling with anger but tried my best to keep myposure. "The video online was obviously maliciously edited. Julian, are you trying to twist the facts?"


    "I sure am. What can you do about it?" Julian said with an arrogant smirk.


    Mr. Herbs wayed it off. "Alright, alright, that''s enough nonsense from you. We told you to bring a guardian yesterday. Did you? If there are no objections, then we''ll proceed with your expulsion. Make sure you behave yourself after you leave."


    "What she does outside this ce is none of your business." Just as I was starting to panic, I heard a voice behind me.


    It was Alex.


    I turned to see him calmly walking into the room in a light khaki suit. His gaze


    never left me. "Why are you crying?"


    Mr. Herbs frowned as he looked at


    Alex. "You must be Serena''s


    guardian, Let me tell you, Serena''s behavior is just uneptable. We''ve already decided to expel her, so take her home and discipline her O properly."


    Alex gently wiped away my tears and shielded me behind him. "What exactly happened to warrant her expulsion?"


    Just as Mr. Herbs was about to speak, Mr. Augustine seemed to realize something. He stepped forward with a sleazy smile. "Are you Mr. Hastings from Hastings Group?"
