Chapter 74 Expulsion from School
Jeremy put down his book, looked at Hannah, and snorted coldly, "Ms. Nguyen, did I hear that right? The troublemaker is Isabella from your class again?"
Hannah's eyelid twitched.
Why now of all times? Why did this have to happen when Jeremy was here? Now there'd be no end to this.
Under Jeremy's aggressive stare, she turned to the class monitor beside her who was reporting on class matters and said, "Go get Isabella."
Before the monitor even reached Class 10, what happened in the bathroom had already been spread around by Luna and the others.
Violet looked at Isabella in surprise, "What did you do to Juniper?"
Isabella lifted her cool eyes, looking indifferent, "Nothing much. I just pressed her head over the sink. Didn't even touch her."
"Who knew she'd be so fragile? Making such a big deal out of this little thing, even threatening to tell the teacher."
Violet: "..."
"Wait, why would you bully her for no reason? Ms. Nguyen's definitely going to come looking for you."
Isabella frowned, "She was talking nonsense."
As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow fell across her desk.
The class monitor stood in front of her.
"Isabella, Ms. Nguyen wants you in her office."
Violet grabbed Isabella's arm.
"I'm coming with you."
——
Ten minutes later, Isabella and Violet pushed open the door to the homeroom teacher's office.
Juniper sat in the chair Hannah had given her, her eyes red.
Jeremy stood to the side with his arms crossed. Seeing them arrive, he sneered, "You again, Isabella. Senior year is the most stressful time academically, not many students get into fights, but you're an exception."
Hannah pressed her lips together, "Mr. Wright, last time there was a reason. It's already been explained."
Jeremy's jaw tightened, and he looked at Hannah with dissatisfaction.
"Ms. Nguyen, you seem particularly fond of protecting this student. I'm curious - is she a good student? Is she one of the top students in class? Why do you always speak up for her?"
Hannah gripped the lesson plan in her hand and said calmly:
"Mr. Wright, we haven't had any exams since school started. I haven't had a chance to understand Student Lin's grades yet. Besides, I wouldn't show favoritism just because a student does well academically. As a teacher, I just deal with things as they are."
"Kids from wealthy families are usually low-key, with better morals and behavior than most. But she relies on having the Taylor Family backing her up and does whatever she wants, showing off constantly, bullying classmates at the drop of a hat." Jeremy said sharply, "What kind of behavior is that? No moral character at all!"
He glanced at Isabella sideways, "If she were my daughter, I'd discipline her properly. I don't know what the Taylor Family is thinking, bringing her back but not teaching her any manners."
Isabella's eyes lifted slightly, staring at Jeremy, her whole presence radiating tension.
Violet couldn't take it anymore, "Are you done? Think you're so great just because you're the dean?"
She'd never liked Jeremy. Once when he caught her not wearing her uniform, Jeremy gave her a harsh lecture, speaking sarcastically and saying really hurtful things.
He said she didn't wear her uniform because she wanted to show off, that she was vain, and that wearing makeup meant she was trying to seduce people, that her parents hadn't raised her right.
She'd let that go.
But she couldn't stand Jeremy talking about Isabella like this.
Violet looked at him coldly, "Walking around school with your arms crossed every day, constantly making sarcastic remarks to students - you really think you're something!"
"But Isabella isn't your child. What right do you have to talk about her? Want to be her father? Dream on!"
"You!" Jeremy's face turned extremely ugly. He pointed at Violet angrily, "Who taught you to talk to teachers like this?"
"As dean, it's my job to educate students. Every student gets criticized by teachers - you think you're special!"
He turned to look at Hannah, "These are the students you've raised? One more rude than the next, no different from those bad girls out there. Do I need to put marks on their records before you're satisfied?"
Hannah's expression changed when she heard this, "Enough, Violet. Stop talking. I called for Isabella, why are you here making trouble?"
"Besides threatening to put marks on records, what else can you do?" Violet glared at Jeremy unhappily, "Go ahead and do it. I don't like studying anyway."
"Violet!" Hannah's face also turned sour, "Stop talking."
Jeremy sneered and glanced at Hannah, "See? These are the fine students you've raised."
"Violet, since you want to keep Isabella company so badly, I don't mind dealing with you too. Write a self-criticism and post it on the school bulletin board, reflecting on your behavior just now. As for Isabella, Juniper already said - you must apologize to her!"
Isabella looked at Juniper and laughed, "Apologize to you?"
"Yes, Isabella. You did this to me - is an apology too much to ask?"
Juniper looked at Isabella coldly, hating her completely.
Isabella sneered, "Juniper, you posted that photo online and spread rumors behind my back, and now you want me to apologize to you?"
"Not happening."
When Juniper heard this, her eyes widened.
How did Isabella know she was the one who posted the photo? Did she see her again?
Impossible. She'd hidden herself well - Isabella couldn't have seen her.
Isabella's gaze fell on Juniper, "I've already sent the video to the school."
Juniper froze, "What?"
What video?
"What else could it be?" Isabella looked at her with something like sympathy, "The bar's security footage. It caught you."
Just then, Hannah received a message from Gregory.
It was an expulsion notice.
Hannah looked at the name "Juniper Fox" on the notice, her heart skipping a beat. Before she could react, another message popped up - a statement released by the school.
Seeing Hannah's grave expression, Juniper's heart tightened, and she had a bad feeling.
She quickly opened the school forum.
The Stellar High School forum had exploded.
Pinned at the top was a surveillance video from a bar.
Juniper clicked on it, and her face immediately turned ugly.
She was completely stunned.
What was going on?
Hadn't the video been deleted?
How did Isabella still get the video?
