âI have no other meaning. Since you said that this is a serious situation, the only method to resolve it is through the legal system. You should comprehend this as a student. If you desire justice, let the law provide you with it!â
âDo you think you know the law so well that you can scare me with it?â âOf course, I donât. But I can get a lawyer.â Stella was driving him to the brink, giving him no time to reflect. âYou want justice, right? Iâll give it to you. You can get a lawyer too.â
She stopped for a moment before coldly chuckling. âYou secretly photographed me and Justin, then used those pictures to construct allegations, slander, rumors, that degrade us. Iâll tell the judge about everything!â
Jackâs face changed instantly, never expecting things to turn out this way.
He wanted to say something, but Stella interrupted him. âAs for your suspect valedictorian, we can ask the school to start an investigation. If Robb faked the results, I will be the first to make him quit without another word!â She was confident because she understood Roger and knew that he wasnât one to do such petty things. If Jack had really gotten the spot because of some dirty tricks, he had it coming for him, especially if the school really kicked him out. Weston leaned to the side and looked at Stella calmly.
With a twinkle in his eyes, he looked at her from top to bottom.
The guy in charge wanted to speak out, but he raised his hand and instructed him not to.
He wanted to see what else Stella would do.
Heâd never seen her like this before, so bold and astute-transforming herself into another person just to protect the ones she loved.
Jackâs eyes glistened as he didnât think that she would be this tough.
He had heard from Roger before that Stella was someone very gentle and easy to talk to. He thought that she would panic when in trouble-which was why he was so cocky earlier.
At this moment, everyone was looking at him.
His face was red, yet he still acted tough. âThe judge wouldnât care about this at all!â he rebuttted.
âPlus, all of this happened in uni. Shouldnât we follow the universityâs rules instead?â
âEveryone but me is a student at this university,â she interrupted him. âYou circulated rumors about me, humiliated me, and wrecked my reputation. I must seek justice in this matter. Youâre an adult now, therefore you must take responsibility for your actions.â
After she was done, her eyes flashed, and she turned to Justin. âMr. Hall, did Jack say to you that if you donât give him the spot, heâll expose these pictures?â
âHe did.â Justinâs face was cold, and he nodded.
Stella smiled and walked up to Jack, âDidnât you just say you want to hold Robb responsible for beating you?â
When Jack heard this, he straightened up immediately. âYes! He beat me just now in front of everyone.
Thereâs a surveillance camera here. Donât try to deny it!â
âOkay.â
Stella nodded. âThe surveillance camera should have the footage of you threatening Mr. Hall. I wonder whatâs that called?â
She shot a glance at Roger.
Roger sneered and mockingly gazed at Jack. âItâs known as blackmail.â
