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.

"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.

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.
