Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 60 Chloe, what did I do to offend you?

Under Philip's lead, a bunch of design class students marched over to the Registrar's Office. Just as they got to the door, they heard Ford's angry voice booming.

Ford was yelling, blaming all the screw-ups on the students. "None of these design class kids are worth a damn; they're all a bunch of jerks. How could my sweet daughter possibly bully so many of them? Even if she did, they could've reported it to the Registrar's Office or the school. Why go online with it? I say we don't let these lowlifes blackmail us. We should just expel them all."

Ford was banging on the table and chairs, acting like he was totally in the right.

Beckett was fuming at Ford. Just then, the students showed up at the Registrar's Office, and Beckett seized the moment to lay into Ford, "Are you seriously thinking about kicking out the whole class? That's insane! The students posted solid proof online of your daughter bullying them, and you call it blackmail? The evidence is clear as day, yet you still deny it? Mr. Kim, as principal, I am here to announce that you've trashed the school's reputation. Pack your bags and go home to wait for further instructions. As for your daughter Lucy, who's been picking on her classmates, the school has decided to expel her. Rena, who got kicked out unfairly, will be back in class right away."

Beckett's announcement was met with cheers and applause from the students in the Registrar's Office.

With the issue sorted, Ford and Lucy left in disgrace, amidst the students' jeers. They shot venomous glares at Chloe but didn't dare do anything more.

Beckett acted quickly, and Quest University soon put out an online statement detailing the disciplinary measures taken against Ford and Lucy, temporarily calming the uproar.

Happy with the fair resolution, the students left the Registrar's Office and headed back to their classroom.

At that moment, Beckett called out to Chloe, "Chloe, hang on a sec."
