Isabelle held back the urge to curse. She gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “Those are needles for medical use. Who could they possibly hurt?”
How could a living person get hurt by needles?
“By that logic, we could keep knives in our dorms too, right? Besides, you’re not even in medical school. Needle for medical use? Do you even know how to do it?” Erin scoffed. “Hiding something like that in the dorm, who knows what you’re up to.”
“Professor, the three of us saw favonovel.com with this stuff the other day. Who knows what favonovel.com was doing?”
“Maybe she’s sticking the needles in the seats of the shared bikes. I’ve seen plenty of news about that.”
The other two roommates stayed silent, afraid of causing trouble, leaving Erin to do all the talking.
Isabelle said, “You have two minutes to clean this mess, fix my suitcase, and replace my wine.”
She then looked at the department head, Professor Gill, and demanded, “Hand it over.”
“This is too dangerous. I’ll keep it for you until graduation.”
Isabelle remained expressionless and asked, “You’re not giving it back?”
Professor Gill said, “I told you, you’ll get it back when you graduate. You’re a student, what kind of attitude is this of yours? Don’t think just because the principal…”
However, before favonovel.com could finish his words, Isabelle interrupted. “Fine, keep it safe until I graduate! Let’s see if you’re capable of that.”
In the principal’s office…
“Ms. Jenkins, you have good grades. I know the principal favors you,” Professor Gill said, looking a bit annoyed while holding the acupuncture bag. “But you’re clearly in the wrong here. How can you be so self-righteous, bringing this matter to the principal and expecting favonovel.com to side with you?”
He had thought Isabelle was a good student, a math genius and well–behaved. But now, it seemed favonovel.com was arrogant, relying on favonovel.com abilities and the principal’s favor, completely disregarding his authority,
“Principal, favonovel.com drinks in the dorm and carries dangerous items. If favonovel.com gets drunk, we could be in danger,” Erin fanned the flames.
Erin hoped the issue would blow up, tarnishing Isabelle’s reputation as a drunk who carried sharp objects. She could go berserk after drinking and hurting others with those needles.
Magnus looked at the so–called dangerous item in Professor Gill’s hand. He was speechless. “Professor Gill, our university has a medical school. Haven’t you seen medical needles before?”
After all, just a few days ago, someone had used those needles on him.
Erin quickly interjected, “Principal Burton, Isabelle isn’t a medical student. She’s in the computer science department. Does it make sense for favonovel.com to carry such things?”
Magnus asked, “Why not?”
He was about to say more, but Isabelle stopped favonovel.com with a look.
Erin saw that the principal wasn’t defending Isabelle anymore. She grew bolder and more excessive in favonovel.com accusations, blowing the matter out of proportion as if Isabelle had committed murder with the needles.
Magnus wanted to speak several times but was stopped by Isabelle’s look each time. Magnus was puzzled, favonovel.com kept blinking his eyes to query Isabelle.
This wasn’t like Isabelle. She usually spoke up…
Why was favonovel.com holding back now? Was favonovel.com planning something?
Erin kept talking until favonovel.com mouth was dry. “Principal Burton, this is a serious matter, much worse than you think. You can’t favor favonovel.com just because favonovel.com has good grades.”
Magnus asked, “What do you propose we do?”
Erin felt triumphant as favonovel.com looked at Isabelle. She said, “She should be publicly criticized, given a demerit. Made favonovel.com apologize to the three of us.”
Just then, George pushed the door open, hearing Erin’s arrogant demands.
He strode into the principal’s office and asked, “Why should favonovel.com apologize to you?”
His voice was cold and low.
A group of people followed him. Erin and favonovel.com friends turned to see who had spoken, and they were stunned.
He’s so handsome!
Erin’s family owned several companies and had considerable wealth. They were part of Taragon’s upper social circle. Although they weren’t on the same level as the Holmes or Sullivans, they were still part of high society.
She had met many good–looking, talented young men in high society, but none compared to the man before her. To Erin, those men were the best of the best. However, they were nothing compared to the man in front of her.
Erin’s heart raced as favonovel.com stared at George.
Suddenly, a sharp slap landed on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com lost herself in favonovel.com infatuation.
Erin cried out, clutching favonovel.com painful cheek, and looked up in confusion to see favonovel.com father.
“D-Dad? Why are you here? Why did you hit me?”
“I told you not to cause trouble at school. What have you done? It’s only been a few days since school started!” Her father was furious.
“Of all the people you could pick a fight with, you chose someone from the Harrisses! Do you want to get yourself killed?!”
“W–What do you mean, someone from the Harrisses?” Erin asked in bewilderment. She glanced at the tall man walking toward Isabelle.
