Chapter 181

Cordelia hatched the plan with the help of Mr. All–Round, a man with a knack for handling sticky situations Now, Mr. All Round had crafted a statement for her to read to the press.

She wasn’t one for melodrama, and thankfully, the words Mr. All–Round sent her were devoid of any tear–jerking appeal Instead, they were a rational and objective list of the consequences of juvenile delinquency

The reality was grim, too many had been wrongfully accused of indecency.

Students would utter a few words, and educators were left scrambling to clear their names. Some were driven to despair, even suicide, while others used the Juvenile Protection Act to shirk responsibility, only to err even more grievously later on

It’s no big deal, just back to being unloved by my parents and shunned by classmates. After the finals, I’ll leave this city. What can you do to me?”

The thing about Leila went viral, sparking intense discussions across society.

Amidst the growing clamor online, the Jordans remained defiant. “Could they really change the law? Ha, I’m underage, what can they do?” Leila scoffed.
