Chapter 30: Chapter Thirteen: Dropping Out
Translator: 549690339
Jessi Whitman looked truly pitiful right now, stirring compassion in the people around her.
âSheâs so vicious! She dared to attack in front of so many people, when alone, would she kill someone?!â âNo, Iâm going to report this to the school. I demand that she be expelled!â
âExpulsion is a must!â
Just as the crowd was calling in unison to kick Xaviera Evans out of the school, a male voice came from the doorwayâŠ
âWho are you planning to expel?â
The crowd turned around instinctively and immediately found their backbone upon seeing who the speaker was.
âPresident, you must stand up for Jessi!â
Gaby Rome, the president of the student council, the most handsome guy of Libanan University, and also the only son of a school trustee, held an extraordinarily high status at Libanan University.
Gaby Rome looked directly at Xaviera Evans: âEvansâŠl mean Xaviera, what hnnnpnpd?â
He had a harmless looking face, although he was a year older than Xaviera, he looked like a younger brother.
Someone stood up to explain: âPresident, this Xaviera Evans attacked Jessi Whitman backstage and now Jessi canât move. Mag Evans just called an ambulance. Now, we all protest and refuse to be in the same school as Xaviera. People who freely attack other students are too terrifying.â
âOh? Attacking for no reason?â
Gaby Rome glanced at Jessi Whitman lying on the ground and then at the calm
Xaviera. Suddenly, he spoke: âXaviera, arenât you going to explain?â Xaviera rolled her eyes: âAre you blind? Look at whatâs in her hand.â
âAlright, I will take a look!â
Gaby Rome friskily trotted over and crouched down by Jessi Whitman. Upon hearing Xavieraâs words, Jessi clearly panicked and began looking for a place to hide something.
Gaby Rome didnât entertain her and spread her hand open with no gentlemanly manner, revealing a sharp little blade used by Design College students to cut threads from clothing.
Gaby Romeâs face suddenly dropped, his round eyes full of coldness: âJessi Whitman, may I ask what this is?â
The students around him were stunned.
They looked at Jessi and then at Xaviera, a clever student hesitated a bit and said: âI remember that Jessi was going to scratch Xavieraâs face with this exact hand, right?â
That attack was directed towards Xavieraâs face.
If Jessiâs hand, with a blade in it, would have landed on Xavieraâs faceâŠjust thinking about that scene, the students present couldnât help but shiver.
Jessi intended to disfigure Xaviera!
âNo, noâŠl didnâtâŠ
Jessiâs defense was rather weak.
Gaby Rome dusted off his pants and got up: âGuards, Jessi Whitman intentionally tried to intentionally harm a fellow student during school hours. The severity of her actions calls for expulsion as a warning to others; all students should abide by the law and the school rules, and should not do anything that would shame Libanan University or violate its rules.â
Hearing this, Jessi completely broke down. âNo, no, no, you canât!â
âMag, Mag, save me! I donât want to be expelled!â
Unfortunately, her struggle was futile in the hands of the security guards, and she was soon dragged away.
Gaby Rome secretly observed Xavieraâs expression, but her face had remained expressionless all this while, he couldnât tell whether she was satisfied or not.
Mag watched as Jessi was taken away, her red eyes welling up as she tried to intercede: âGaby, Queena didnât mean to, expulsion is too harsh. Could youâŠâ âWait a minute, who are you calling Gaby? I donât know you that well!â
Gaby Rome took a step back, hiding behind Xaviera with righteous words: âAnd youâre saying that Jessi didnât do it on purpose? Did the blade grow legs and walk into her hand? Also, if I recall correctly, Xaviera is your family member, sheâs your sister. Jessi almost ruined your sisterâs face, but youâre not worried for your sister, instead, youâre concerned about the person who almost hurt your sister. What kind of logic is that?â
Caught off guard, Mag responded: âBut Xaviera wasnât injured, right?â Gaby Rome chuckled: âThatâs an interesting statement.â
Mag also realized that what she had just said was somewhat inappropriate, so she quickly tried to make up for it: âI just think itâs too cruel for Jessi. Being expelled from Libanan University, her life will be ruinedâŠâ
Finished speaking, she pleaded towards Xaviera: âSister, can I apologize on behalf of Jessi? Could you ask GabyâŠl mean, could you ask the president to revoke Jessiâs punishment?â
Xaviera lazily adjusted the fishtail braid on her chest:â Get Gaby Rome to revoke the punishment? Do you think I, a country bumpkin, can do that?â
Gaby
A country bumpkin?
Has his brother Evansâ taste changed? How come he likes such quirky nicknames?
But⊠even a country bumpkin can command him!
As long as Evans gave the order, he would immediately call Jessi back!
