Chapter 373 Alice had already made preparations to confront them.
Menu She had investigated and found out what the journalism club president was doing. Collecting evidence was simple for her.
Also, the club had quietly allowed this for a long time.
Everyone knew, but as students, they couldnât compete with the journalism club. To avoid slander, they had to pay.
The club members didnât dare bother wealthy students.
When Alice spoke, the journalism club presidentâs face showed shock and he got very nervous. Alice spoke coldly, âI already made things clear. If you keep spreading lies, I wonât hold back.â The student council president hurried to intervene, âIf your journalism club reported wrong information, you must apologize to Alice.â
The journalism club president finally understood the gravity.âAlice, I was wrong. Iâll remove the post and clear things up.â
âOkay, donât spread false rumors to slander people again, or youâll face consequences.â Words could hurt deeply without leaving a mark.
He felt too embarrassed to talk, but if Alice revealed this issue, heâd face severe trouble. He didnât want to get expelled.
The âIf you ௠female student was resentful.âWhy do you need to apologize to her?
hadnât given me the photos and said you saw Alice hugging an old man in a fancy car, I wouldnât have written that.â
Alice asked the female student, âDo you realize that taking photos without permission and spreading lies is against the law?â
âI donât like you, so what? You act all high and mighty, but youâre just a slut who got ahead by using men. Today, you were on stage talking about your âsuccess.â You should be talking about sleeping with old men instead.â
When the female student stopped talking, nearby students Jack came over with a few others.
started whispering.
He glanced at Drake.âIs this how your school treats an exceptional girl? She has to face vicious lies and slander?â
Jack had been watching this unfold.
From the discussions, he understood the situation and was furious, Drakeâs face blanched with fear, and he hastily said, âIâll fully investigate this. Alice, a top SAT scorer and consistently excellent student, is wellâknown for her achievements among teachers and students.â
âMany students here excel. If theyâre all isolated and attacked for being outstanding, who will dare to aim for excellence?â
âAfter Jack spoke, Drakeâs face kept shifting in color. He faced the journalism club president, 11:20 100.0%
< Chapter 373 saying, âDid you write those posts and spread lies about Alice?â
âMr. Cousy, I already talked to Alice. I didnât spread lies.â
Menu The female student stood up angrily.âItâs not a rumor. Can Alice explain how she got the fancy car and expensive stuff?â
Jack intervened, âI can clarify. That day, I was the one who drove her home. Thereâs been a lot happening at the company, and she had to stay late.â
The female student was stunned.âYouâre lying! Youâre just trying to cover for Alice!â Drake scolded her sharply, âStop talking nonsense. Alice is a technically gifted person recognized in New York. Who are you to question her?â
Drake hadnât fully grasped Aliceâs exceptional qualities. Having her as a future role model would be immensely beneficial for Harvard University.
Jack looked at Drake.âMr. Cousy, I expect you to handle this situation appropriately.â
âMr. Wilson, you can be sure Iâll address it.â
Jack nodded, then left with his group.
Drake paused briefly, turning to the student council president and saying, âRound up everyone who participated in spreading those rumors in the posts. This incident must be dealt with severely to uphold the schoolâs discipline. Itâs utterly intolerable.â
With that said, Drake rushed to catch up with Jack.
The journalism club president spoke nervously, âWhat should we do now? I didnât mean any harm. I donât want to face disciplinary action, let alone get expelled âWho told you to talk like that in front of Mr. Cousy? Alice is selfâmade; she doesnât depend on others.â
The student council president felt a bit trapped and reflexively glanced at Alice beside him.
At this moment, the only person who could resolve the situation was Alice.
Mary, however, stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Alice.âAlice came here with good intentions to clear things up, but you guys were unappreciative and chose to escalate this. Now youâre facing the consequences of your own actions. You have it coming.â
âRight! Theyâre just envious of how exceptional Alice is and can only use dirty tricks.â
Lana took the initiative to link arms with Alice.âLetâs go, thereâs no point in wasting words on them.â
Alice remained silent and went along.
The female student was now frightened too.âWhat should we do? I donât want to face discipline either.â
âAre you scared now? Why did you say those things in front of Mr. Cousy, implicating all of us? Itâs your fault; you provided the photos and spread the rumors. You should take full responsibility.â
The female student started crying out of fear.
What should she do now?
Meanwhile, Alice and her friends went outside.

< Chapter 373 Many students gathered and said, âAlice, youâre amazing.â
âAlice, are you really a shareholder in Maple Company? Will you be financially free when your company goes public?â
Alice glanced at the students around her. âStarting a business is risky. No one knows what will happen.â
Max, noticing Alice with her classmates, felt jealous.âJulia, without the Wilson familyâs support, would Aliceâs business have been this easy? She still depends on âDepending on men can be a skill too.â

Julia felt uneasy. She knew a secret that would only work if told at the right time.
Today, she chose to let Alice go.
After talking to the curious students briefly, the student council president came to Alice.âAlice, you have a school interview to go to.â
âOkay, Iâll go now.â
As Alice followed, she saw Jack talking with some business owners.
He leaned back in his chair, his lips slightly curved, almost smiling, but his eyes were cold. Alice knew that Jack was just socializing with them.
When she entered, Jack looked at her.
As he looked up, everyone else did too, focusing on Alice.
The student council president went to Alice.âCome this way. Follow me and stay calm Alice smiled and followed him.
However, Jack looked at Aliceâs smile, furrowed his brows, and felt a bit uneasy. Seeing the young boy next to Alice, admiring her, made Jack feel a strange irritation, Someone next to him saw Jack staring at Alice.
After her interview, the middleâaged man told Alice, âAlice, come and talk with us for a while.â Alice didnât like his tone, but she went over anyway.
âSit next to Mr. Wilson.â
