Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 161

The school was equipped with a signal–blocking device, so the phones had no signal.

At this moment, the police officer was able to answer the phone, and the headmaster was stunned and looked at him slightly uneasily..

Meanwhile, Paulina was fuming with rage upon hearing the officer mention a meager fifteen–day detention for Cordelia’s misconduct. “Fifteen days? That’s it?” she seethed, “My daughter can’t even step foot in school because of that brat, and this is unfair.”

The officer was still on the phone and paid her no mind.

Paulina turned to the headmaster, pleading, “Please, can’t you just overlook this one time? Merry’s really turned over a new leaf. She’s been hitting the books hard all weekend.”

The headmaster shook his head resolutely, “Rules are rules. If we let Merry stay, what message does that send? We can’t have the school upended by every rebellious student that decides to act out.”

And Cordelia, detained for helping you escape. Is this the loyalty you brag about? Mark my words, you’ll regret dropping out when you’re flipping burgers instead of flipping pages.”

Merry clenched her fists, taking in the fear etched on her classmates‘ faces. They were all silent, all scared, just like she had been. But now, with her friend Lia facing detention for her sake, Merry could no longer hold her tongue.

“Lia didn’t make a false report,” she blurted out, the room falling silent.

Eyes turned to her, including Cordelia’s. Merry, once cowering with fear, now stood tall, wearing Cordelia’s varsity jacket like a suit of armor.
