Chapter 42 Attending the Party

As soon as Chloe said that, everyone was floored. Ford, standing next to Lucy, went pale, and Lucy was at a loss for words. She wanted to back out, but Chloe kept pushing, not giving her any room to escape. The classmates, who had been bullied by Lucy for ages, were thrilled to finally get a chance to vent. They started gesturing wildly.

"Yeah, admit you're a loser, Lucy. You said it yourself. If you can't get Chloe expelled today, you gotta admit you and your dad are both losers."

"If you don't own up, this won't end well. We'll go to the principal, the media, and let them stand up for us, the classmates you've bullied." "Admit it, hurry up and admit it."

Lucy was fuming. She grabbed Ford's arm and stomped her foot, saying, "Dad, what do we do? If I admit it, you'll be a loser too."

Ford looked at his foolish daughter, wishing he could knock some sense into her. It was one thing for her to admit she was a failure, but dragging her father down with her was just ridiculous.

As things heated up, Ford, in his role as Academic Dean, decided to calm the students and suppress the situation. After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly made up his mind.

He glared at Lucy and scolded, "Alright, you made a bet, so admit it. What's the big deal? It's all your fault, causing trouble. Let this be a lesson for you. From now on, no more bullying your classmates." Seeing Ford's stern face, Lucy didn't dare act out anymore. She lowered her head and walked up to Chloe. After giving Chloe a fierce look, she muttered weakly, "My dad and I are both losers." Before Chloe could react, the classmates were pumped. They all shouted, "Too quiet, we can't hear you."

"Yeah, louder, we can't hear you."

These people knew how to get their revenge. As their voices grew louder, Lucy had no choice. She bent over, bowed, and loudly said to Chloe, "My dad and I are both losers."
