"At that time, in that place, and with everything your best friend Missy exposed, Christina, who do you think you're fooling?" William's anger grew as he spoke.
Some things can't be delved into too deeply, or they'll all become problems.
But.
William was angry, and Christina was equally furious. "I'm not treating anyone like a fool, but you shouldn't assume everyone is a scheming woman either."
"At least up until now, I haven't gained any benefits. But you, you took away my precious first time having sex. I didn't even ask you to take responsibility, and here you are, overthinking everything. William, are you paranoid?"
Christina would never have dared to say such things to William in the past.
But she had already died once.
In this life, if she didn't stand up for herself, was she supposed to let herself be oppressed and die again?
She wasn't willing.
"I'll say it again, I have no interest in you. If you keep this up, I'll really suspect you're just looking for an excuse to get close to me."
Christina struggled, and seeing that William still wouldn't let go, she didn't care anymore and bit down on William's hand.
William hadn't expected Christina to bite him, and his eyes grew even colder. "Christina, are you a dog?"
Christina didn't let go.
It wasn't until she tasted a strong metallic flavor of blood in her mouth that she finally released her grip.
William's wrist now bore a row of bloody teeth marks.
Christina glared fiercely at William, now truly resembling a cornered, angry little beast.
"You wouldn't let go. William, don't provoke me any further, or I'll set your house on fire. At worst, we'll go down together!"
She had already said her harsh words; what happened next was William's problem.
"Get out!"
William roared in anger.
Christina didn't respond and quickly ran forward.
She practically sprinted out of William's villa.
She needed to walk a bit further to catch a cab.
After hailing a cab at a landmark intersection, Christina instructed the driver to head straight to the school.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the school, people avoided her.
When she got to her class, none of her classmates would look her in the eye.
Until the teacher arrived. Christina didn't believe Missy could have registered her, so she went to the teacher to register herself. But to her surprise, the teacher's expression was not friendly.
"I was just looking for you. Since you're here, let's talk about your problem."
Christina frowned. "Teacher, what problem could I have?"
Whether it was exams or competitions, she always relied on her own abilities. In class, she never had conflicts with her classmates.
The teacher patted the desk. "You have the nerve to ask me? Christina, as a student, don't you know to respect your elders and maintain order?"
"Look at the mess you've caused online. What normal person would like their elders? You're affecting the school and the class too much. You should take a break from school."
Online, it was Jennifer who was being scolded, and Jennifer who drugged William.
She hadn't even defended herself yet, and now the public opinion had turned into insults against her?
However, in front of the teacher, Christina didn't speak as sharply as she did with William.
Christina calmly said, "Teacher, if you look closely at the public opinion, you'll see that this isn't my fault."
"Jennifer was the one who drugged William. I was just inadvertently involved with William. And I'm the victim here."
Christina spoke clearly, "Teacher, why don't you stand by your student and consider my side? I haven't gained any benefits. Besides, even if it was me, what does my private life have to do with the school? The people spreading my business are the real culprits!"
She hadn't said a word online to defend herself, while Jennifer was crying and threatening suicide, and Missy was the one who exposed everything first.
How was this her fault?
The teacher didn't care about any of that. "If you're feeling wronged, you can go to the police for help. But you shouldn't be causing all this public opinion and affecting everyone."
Christina realized that registering today was impossible.
But she wasn't going to drop out.
"If you want me to drop out, you should give me a legitimate reason. I'm clearly the victim here. Otherwise, I'll take this matter to the education department." Christina didn't want to be at odds with a teacher.
But given the teacher's attitude, Christina knew she had to say something harsh.
The teacher wasn't afraid of Christina's threat. "You're a problem student, affecting the school and the class. It's normal to ask you to take a break. Besides, this isn't compulsory education; the school has every right to expel you!"
With things said to this point, Christina felt she had nothing to lose.
She chuckled. "You're just a homeroom teacher. The dean and principal haven't said anything. Who gave you the right to expel me?"
"That's none of your business. But starting today, you don't need to come anymore. Go to the dean's office to complete the formalities." The teacher didn't want to say anything more to Christina.
Christina couldn't bear this injustice.
She immediately called the education department.
Unexpectedly, the education department sided with the school, even using the same tone, saying she was a problem student and the school's decision to expel her was reasonable.
The education department wouldn't help?
Christina then took the matter online.
She hadn't wanted to go this far, but they forced her hand. So, she didn't mind making a bigger deal out of it.
She even added a striking headline: "I'm the one who got hurt, so why do I have to pay for everything?"
Online, she briefly summarized her experiences with William, including the argument with William and Missy at the architecture institute.
The post quickly garnered a lot of comments.
"No way? Is the poster really this miserable? She lost her virginity and everything. I hope she doesn't end up with no way out."
"What kind of society is this? There's no way she'll have no way out."
"She lost her virginity, her education, and now she's being blamed for everything online. Isn't this just pushing her to the edge?"
"Oh my god! When you put it that way, it's really terrifying!"
"Why are we still here? The most we can do is say a few words online. The poster should call the police!"
"Exactly, call the police, don't wait!"
