When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 207

As soon as Lemira mentioned it, Evelina's face visibly crumbled into panic.

Evelina whimpered in grievance, "Even Judy admitted it. Nothing would change even if she were here in person."

It was because Judy didn't want to take the blame, so she went out of her way to bribe Judy's parents to come and testify on her behalf.

Judy's parents nodded in agreement, "That's right, this whole mess was our daughter's doing. We're willing to accept the blame and the punishment, just please leave Ms. Sterling out of it."

Why bother with college for a girl like that when the Langston family's money could easily cover her brother's tuition?

The teacher found himself in a bind, "No, we still need Judy to come to school herself."

Evelina's face tensed noticeably, cursing under her breath that everything was supposed to be perfectly arranged until Lemira spoke up.

Asher, hearing this, turned to the teacher, "Could I have a word with the principal alone?"

The teacher nodded, and Asher turned to reassure Evelina, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I believe you're innocent."
