Julian reluctantly stepped forward as well. "Hello, Mr. Hastings."


    Alex straightened his suit and looked at Mr. Augustine. "Mr. Augustine, hello. I''m here to handle Serena''s withdrawal from the university as her guardian."


    Mr. Augustine was incredibly flustered when he heard that. "Withdrawal? What? No, no, there''s no need for that. It''s just a small misunderstanding. How could ite to that?"


    "But when I entered just now, I clearly heard this man mention expulsion," Alex narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Herbs.


    Mr. Herbs was startled and quickly scrambled as he said, "No, no, Mr. Hastings, you must have misheard. This whole thing is just a misunderstanding."


    Mr. Augustine and Mr. Herbs exchanged a nce. After a moment, Mr. Augustine walked forward with a smile. "This really isn''t a big deal. The university''s intention is to just clear up the misunderstandings."


    He then added, "If it''s really necessary, we can call the police too! As the leaders of the university, we''re just concerned about protecting Ms. Ashford''s future. It''s just that Mr. ke confidently insisted that the situation was exactly as it appeared online. We were just momentarily fooled by him."


    When Julian heard that the two of them were nning on pinning all the me on him, there was no way he could just stay silent.


    The kes were already struggling under Alex''s pressuring of their businesses. If he offended Alex further...


    Julian stepped forward. "Mr. Hastings, the situation isn''t as the principal described."


    I had beenpletely alone just now. Yet I was now looking at those three who had been so united earlier trying to push the me onto each other. It was a chilling sight.


    "Mr. Herbs insisted on not reporting the matter to the police and having my sister figure out a way to clear her own name. So, I had no choice but to gather the evidence myself," Alex said as he pulled out his phone.


    Mr. Herbs wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously. "I was only worried that Ms. Ashford''s reputation would be ruined if the police got involved and the news spread further."


    Alex ignored Mr. Herbs'' words and motioned for his assistant toe over. The assistant stepped forward and switched on aptop, disying the evidence that was already prepared. "Here''s proof that Julian and his friend, Elena, have been harassing Serena."


    I was stunned when I looked at the evidence. It contained records of every time Julian and Elena had tried to meet with me. There was also every instance of Julian seeking me out Everything was there.


    I looked at Alex in shock.


    With this level of detail, could Alex have secretly had me followed? Or did he nt


    a tracker on me?


    Alex merely raised an eyebrow slightly before motioning for me to look at the screen.


    "This is the matter I came for today. The second one is to rify the video incident," Alex said as he crossed his legs.


    The screen disyed another video. It was surveince footage from the restaurant.


    I was shocked.


    After watching the video, Mr. Herbs and Mr. Augustine fell silent.

    Mr. Augustine''s panic was evident as sweat gathered on his forehead.


    He stammered, "W-Well, Mr. Herbs, you were the one who wanted to expel Ms. Ashford. You can handle this yourself."


    Mr. Herbs was rendered speechless by Alex''s intimidating presence.
