Chapter 58: Where do I get the honor?
The principal’s face froze, and he turned to look over to find that Nick was indeed a few meters away from him. At that moment, there was little expression on his face, without any emotions.
When Nick came, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
At his side stood Emily, who winked at Victoria.
God knows how anxious she was when she saw Victoria being given a hard time. Luckily, her cousin was here today, or else she really didn’t know how it would end.
Chloe Reynolds was also a big shot in school, Victoria was just a tiny designer and surely couldn’t win against each other.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate at the moment, and the principal suddenly didn’t know how to explain.
But Victoria continued to pursue the question, “Since everyone has to register, then everyone who is watching the exhibition right now should be treated equally, right? It can’t be that the rules are made for me alone, where I have this honor.”
Nick’s eyes fell on the principal, who just felt his forehead overflow with sweat; that rule was really just something he had said to restrain Victoria, not realizing that it would be bumped into by Nick.
If a plausible explanation was not given, then the school would have disgraced itself in front of its biggest investment.
Just as he was debating how to speak, Chloe Reynolds stepped forward, looking a little more collected, but it was clear that she seemed somewhat familiar with Nick as well.
“Nick! The principal isn’t to blame for this. It’s this woman who stole my bracelet and won’t admit it, and I’d like to take this matter to the police.”
“And I said I didn’t steal it.”
“That’s you!”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Victoria raised an eyebrow, “Then why should anyone believe you when you say I steal? Just because you’re Reynolds?”
“You!”
Chloe Reynolds couldn’t get a word out of her rebuttal, and her face went red.
Damn it!
Lucas Steele was watching the show from the sidelines, and couldn’t help but make an appearance. Now that Nick was here, he couldn’t let all the credit be taken away from him. After all, he was the one who was going to take Victoria down.
So he cleared his throat and kept his eyes focused on himself, “Chloe, are you remembering wrong?”
Chloe was so angry that her sanity crumbled when she heard that Lucas is also speaking for Victoria.
“How could I possibly misremember? She just touched me and my bracelet is gone! How could it be such a coincidence? Fine, it’s fine if she doesn’t return my bracelet, but she has to apologize to me!”
Lucas Steele looked to Victoria just as peacefully, “Poppy, what do you think?”
Victoria took out her cell phone and, in full view of everyone, called the police station directly.
“Hello! Veridian City University Art Building, there’s been a burglary here involving three hundred thousand dollars. The university won’t provide surveillance at this time. I hope the police can come over and assist in the investigation please and thank you.”
After saying that, she put her cell phone in her pocket, “The police will be here soon. Yes or no, we’ll find out later.”
Chloe’s eyes instantly flustered and she began to doubt if she had stolen it or not.
If Victoria really didn’t steal the bracelet, then she would be the one disgraced today.
And in front of so many teachers and classmates, how will she stay in school then?
She nervously thought of a response, but then she heard Victoria speak to the principal.
“And, with the Headmaster and Director Thornton, doing nothing but kicking me out because of a student slur and adding a temporary rule just for me, the school might be letting these investors down too much with the way it’s handling this?”
When she finished speaking, her eyes flicked over the people around her before finally landing on Nick and smiling softly at him.
Nick frowned as his eyes fell on the principal, instantly creating a considerable amount of pressure, as if he was holding a mountain.
The principal was shivering at this glance, and instructed the bodyguard at the side, “Go, go and pull up the surveillance within this period of time.”
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, a shrill Olivia Thornton shouted, “No! Don’t go!”
