More and more public opinion, this is exactly the effect Christina wanted.
She even deliberately picked a few popular comments to reply to: "I am a burden, and in the Cavendish family, my status is even more humble. What right do I have to speak? Even if I call the police now, I'm afraid it won't help. I feel really miserable, I just want to go to school properly."
"Architecture school, I know about it too. Should I just watch hypocritical people become the pillars of the nation? I didn't know before, but now that I do, I can't go against my conscience and pretend I don't know."
"I feel so helpless right now, I don't know what to do."
Netizens gave her advice, "Contact the relevant national departments. This is a national institution, can they really allow incompetent people to steal others' achievements and become successful?"
This was a good idea.
But Christina now wanted to see what effect these posts would have.
Unexpectedly, her phone rang with a landline number.
"Christina, delete those things online immediately!"
"Who is this?"
Judging by the tone, it should be a school leader.
Christina guessed right, "What you posted online has a huge impact on the school. Your class teacher was also thinking about the school and the bigger picture."
"The trouble you've caused, doesn't our school have the right to deal with you?"
"Or, has the education bureau not given you a clear response?"
Every word was forceful, as if trying to pin eighteen charges on Christina.
Christina wouldn't accept this, "What did I post online? The recent posts were because I felt unfairly treated. I didn't do those things, I had nothing to do with William, yet the school wants to expel me, and the education bureau doesn't care. Can't I legally protect my rights if I don't want to drop out?"
"It's all been exposed, and you still claim you have nothing to do with your uncle William? Who would believe that? Christina, I've warned you, if you don't listen, we will have to take certain measures."
"Then I'll see it through to the end."
She didn't care what measures the school would take.
In any case, she wouldn't drop out.
There were many comments online, but soon they couldn't be displayed anymore.
Christina sent messages to the relevant national departments, but there was no response at all.
She could only call the complaint hotline, and the person in charge told her, "We will investigate your report according to the law. However, the school has the right to deal with problematic students."
Hearing this, Christina was almost furious.
The school has the right to deal with problematic students.
So was all her effort in vain?
She didn't care.
She called each department one by one, determined to get a result today.
Unexpectedly, Missy was still trying to persuade her, "Christina, you should stop. Haven't you heard the saying, 'the people can't fight the government'? You can't win."
Can't win? She was determined to fight.
But with no leads, she had to contact the media and personally take them to the Cavendish Corporation to confront William.
She remembered William's number.
But when William saw an unknown number on his phone, he frowned, "Who is this?"
His private number was never given out.
Anyone who could call this number must know it and have something important.
Christina calmly said, "Uncle, I'm now with the media outside the Cavendish Corporation building. Come down and let's make a public clarification."
She and the media were outside the Cavendish Corporation building, William couldn't avoid showing up.
William wondered who it was, his eyes filled with endless coldness and danger, "Are you ordering me?"
"I'm not trying to order you, but now there's a rumor that you and I are involved. Because of you, I can't go back to school."
Christina gripped her phone tightly, "They even asked me to put it on speaker, but I didn't. Do you want the media to dig into our relationship..."
Christina deliberately left the sentence unfinished.
William was a smart man, he would understand what she meant.
But William's face turned extremely grim, what was this?
Christina not only got his number but also put him in an awkward situation and threatened him to show up.
A deeper coldness crossed William's lips, "You're not qualified to threaten me."
"You're right. But you should understand the meaning of rumors. I'll wait for you, hurry up." With that, Christina hung up without waiting for William's response.
William's face instantly darkened as if covered by a shadow, his eyes sharp and cold.
No one had ever dared to speak to him like this, to threaten him like this.
Bob saw William's expression and hesitated to speak, "Mr. Cavendish, should I handle this?"
The only person who could make William this angry was Christina. But now, Christina was facing the risk of being expelled from school.
William's voice was deep and heavy, "Come downstairs with me."
"Yes."
Bob didn't know what William was thinking, but he followed William's orders.
Christina, on the other hand, was facing the reporters.
"You can start now."
But the reporters didn't see William, "Ms. Windsor, didn't you say Mr. Cavendish would be here for this clarification press conference?"
They were waiting for William!
After all, William's reputation in Stargate City was well-known.
Even if William and Christina didn't make any clarifications, news about them would still make headlines.
Moreover, they could interview William about other things.
But now, with William not showing up, they were reluctant to start.
Christina remained calm, "I've already called my uncle, he'll be here soon."
She had said everything she needed to. William would definitely come to avoid any online scandal.
"Then let's wait for Mr. Cavendish to arrive before starting!"
The reporters insisted on waiting for William to appear.
But as time passed and William still hadn't shown up, some people started to get impatient, "Ms. Windsor, are you lying to us?"
"Did Mr. Cavendish not agree to come?"
"Aren't you wasting everyone's time?"
"No wonder you wanted us to start first. If Mr. Cavendish doesn't come, we'll pack up and leave!"
The reporters were getting restless, and Christina felt that if they left, all her efforts would be in vain.
Christina tried to calm them down while calling William, "Don't worry, I'll call my uncle right now."
