Briar’s words were delivered in a measured tone, yet each one struck a chord with everyone present. Jewell even caught a hint of approval in the smile that tugged at the corner of Ashton’s lips.

Marvin, noticing Ashton’s indulgent expression, turned to Briar and said, “Briar, this incident is indeed a result of our school’s inadequate supervision. You have every right to make any demands.”

As for Jewell, well, with Ashton in the room, he didn’t dare to defend him.

“Let’s just say that your prejudice and accusations, based solely on a few photos and some people’s instigation, all stem from the assumption that I entered Shoneport University through special means, right?”

Briar had been smiling at Jewell just a second ago, but by the end of her sentence, her cold and defiant aura left him with nowhere to hide.

She emphasized the special means with her clear voice, while her eyes and expression remained somewhat gentle, creating a chilling yet

captivating contrast.
