The True Heiress's Return

Chapter

Chandler was full of rage, ready to reprimand the one who confronted him. However, as he turned, he met the stern gaze of Patrick Jensen, the president of Crescentville University, causing him to fall off his chair in shock. Quickly standing up, Chandler's expression changed a lot, and he smiled obsequiously. "Mr. Jensen, what brings you here?"

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that Crescentville University has a new authority," Patrick replied, his hair completely white yet his demeanor lively and his eyes bright. "You've misunderstood!" Chandler's face paled slightly; he dared not meet Patrick's gaze. "Mr. Jensen, you may not know, but this student has been absent without cause for two years, not even giving notice. Now her parent have come to sign her withdrawal: I'm just following the rules." "Rules!" Shakira scoffed. "According to Article 38 of Crescentville University's regulations, a withdrawal must be initiated by the student in person; otherwise, it's considered invalid Are the rules' you speak of your own invention?" "You!" Chandler glared at Shakira, but she ignored him, turning to Patrick.

Patrick's expression hinted at building emotions, while Shakira remained calm, explaining clearly. Two years ago. I had an accident and couldn't return home, but I followed the proper procedures to apply for a leave of absence." I've met all the the requirements to reinstate my enrollment had no knowledge of my withdrawal, and I no longer have a father-daughter relationship with Lago Smith; he has no authority to withdraw me," she added.

The faculty member acknowledged and quickly completed the paperwork on the computer, handing Shakira her new campus ID. "Welcome back."

Shakira accepted it with both hands. "Thank you."

Patrick looked on, satisfied, and turned to leave. Chandler, feeling begrudged yet somewhat relieved, watched him go. However, just as Patrick reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "Mr. Lee, you've seriously violated the university regulations by maliciously bullying a student. Starting tomorrow, you're no longer welcome here."

The statement effortlessly sealed Chandler's fate. He was stunned, realizing he was losing his job over such a trivial matter. He immediately rushed forward to argue with Patrick.
