Chapter 725
Lemira hadn’t come unprepared.
It took her little effort to discover what the president of the journalism club had been
up to gathering evidence was child’s play for her. In fact, this had always been an open secret within the club. The other students knew about it, but as students themselves, they didn’t dare challenge the journalism club. No one wanted to become the next victim of their rumors, so they obediently paid up to stay out of trouble. As for the wealthy students, the club made sure never to cross them.
After Lemira finished speaking, the journalism club president’s face turned ashen, panic written all over him.
Lemira’s tone was icy. “I already explained everything to you earlier, but if you insist on spreading lies, don’t blame me for what happens next p>
The student council president hurried to smooth things over. “Your club reported something untrue, so you definitely owe Lemira an apology p>
Only then did the club president realize how serious things had become. “Lemira, it was my mistake. I’ll delete the post right away and issue an explanation p>
“That’s better. And in the future, don’t make up stories to slander others. Otherwise, you’re just asking for trouble p>
Words can be as sharp as blades, wounding without leaving a mark.
He was so ashamed he didn’t dare speak. If Lemira exposed him, he’d be finished- he certainly didn’t want to get expelled.
One of the female students, not willing to let it go, protested, “Why are you so afraid of her p>
“If you hadn’t given me those photos, and claimed you saw Lemira all over some older guy in a fancy car, I never would’ve written any of it p>
Lemira turned to the girl. “You realize that secretly taking photos and spreading false rumors are both illegal, don’t you p>
The girl snapped back, “So what if I can’t stand you? You act all high and mighty, but you’re just someone who slept her way to the top. Up there sharing your ‘success story’-why not tell everyone about your experience with older men instead p>
As soon as she finished, the students nearby began whispering to each other.
At that moment, Orion strode over, accompanied by several others.
He looked directly at the principal. “Is this how your school treats outstanding young women? By allowing others to slander and defame them p>
Orion had been watching the situation unfold from a distance, and from the conversation, he’d gathered most of what had happened. He was seething.
The principal’s expression changed
instantly. He hurried to respond, “I promise to investigate this thoroughly. Lemira is the top
student from the entrance exams,
and her academic achievements
have always been
exemplary everyone here can
vouch for that p>
“We have so many exceptional students at this school. If excellence only leads to isolation and attacks, who would have the courage to strive for success p>
Hearing this, the principal’s face shifted again. He turned to the
journalism club president. “net
it
you who wrote that post and spread rumors about your classmate
“Principal, I—I’ve already explained myself to Lemira. I didn’t spread any false rumors p>
The female student, still unconvinced, stepped forward. “It wasn’t a rumor! Can Lemira explain the luxury car and all the expensive things, then p>
Orion replied calmly, “I can explain. I was the one who drove her home that day. Things have been busy at work and she was working late p>
The girl was stunned. “You… you’re not just saying that to protect her, are you p>
The principal snapped, “Stop making baseless accusations! Lemira has been recognized as a top technical talent at Lyria. Who are you to question her p>
The principal hadn’t realized just how outstanding Lemira truly was. Having someone like her as a role model would be a tremendous asset for Orvin University.
Orion glanced at the principal. “I trust you’ll handle this properly p>
“Of course, Mr. Everhart. I will take care of it p>
Orion nodded and left with his group.
The principal paused, then turned to the student council president. “I want you to identify everyone involved in spreading these rumors They will face serious
consequences. We need to restore proper conduct and discipline on this campus-this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable p>
