The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 280

He confessed without even being pressed-what a loser. Not just wicked, but dumb, too.

Jeanette was seething, barely able to keep her composure. Swallowing her indignation, she forced herself to continue, "Citrine, you don't air your dirty laundry in public. No matter what happened, you shouldn't broadcast your personal issues in front of so many people. What if this damages the school's reputation? You need to think of the bigger picture."

Dirty laundry?

Citrine let out a short, incredulous laugh. "My stuff was stolen. I'm the victim here. How is that airing dirty laundry?"

She genuinely couldn't fathom Jeanette's logic.

After a brief pause, Citrine added, "And by the way, Jeanette, were you not listening when I spoke earlier? The principal already approved what I'm doing. I don't need your blessing."

She glanced around, her voice carrying. "Besides, I don't consider the parents of Primus Academy or the students from Havencrest's other high schools to be outsiders. They all have every right to know what's going on here good or bad. Parents deserve to know what happens at school so they can look out for their kids, and when they care more, incidents like bullying become much less likely. As for the students from other schools, we're all part of the Havencrest community. Any one of you could join Primus Academy someday, and you have every right to know what really goes on here, so you can protect yourselves too."
