Keira laid down her phone and then finally raised her head to look at the crowd.
Her biological mother was setting her up, so she probably should have been a
bit upset.
But right now, she only felt numb.
She had gotten used to it.
The worse she got treated, the more she believed that as long as it was for Islaâs benefit, Poppy would stop at nothing.
Her gaze coldly swept past Poppy and landed on Isla.
Keira was actually very curious about how much Isla had charmed Poppy and made the latter so devoted to her.
She didnât say anything because she knew that until Samuel came to help verify her identity, no matter what she said, it would be useless. These people wouldnât believe her.
But even though she didnât say anything, someone else spoke for her.
The tone of Jalen was full of arrogance. âWhat kind of direct evidence is this? Based on the video, you can only see that Keiraâs mother copied something from Islaâs computer. What exactly did she copy? Who knows?â
Jake snickered, âIsla is the one responsible for delivering Dr. Southâs solution to me. Keiraâs mom copied something from her, and then Keira submitted a solution identical to Dr. Southâs. Doesnât this explain everything? Jalen, even if you want to protect Keira, you should show some restraint!
Jalen stood his ground. âProtect her? Iâm just stating my doubts! This evidence canât directly prove that it was Keira who ordered her mother to steal!â
As soon as these words came out, Poppy, who was kneeling there, immediately cried out, âThatâs right, it wasnât Keira who told me to steal. It was my own idea! It has nothing to do with Keira. Itâs all my faultâ¦â
She grabbed the arm of the head of the Administrative Department. âPlease donât involve Keira in this! My daughter has just graduated from university.
She canât lose this job â¦â
The head of the Administrative Department sighed at hearing these words.
âWhat did you steal?â
Poppy immediately said, âItâs the new energy solution for Hydrogen Fuel.â
The head of the Administrative Department nodded. âDo you know what
Hydrogen Fuel is?â
Poppy was taken aback and then shook her head.
The head of the Administrative Department continued. âYou see, even I donât understand what it is, and Iâm not even in research and development. Therefore, if your daughter didnât tell you what to steal, then how were you able to steal for her?â
Poppy seemed to be rendered speechless.
She couldnât say a word and finally bowed her head. âI donât care. I did this. It has nothing to do with my daughter! Call the police, and take me away. Itâs my faultâ¦â
The head of the Administrative Department sighed deeply, looking at Poppy with nothing but regret and pity.
Jake was looking at Poppy.
He should have really disliked this woman, but seeing her sacrifice everything for her own daughter, he found it hard to be unsympathetic.
Jake suddenly roared, âKeira, say something! Are you really planning to let your mom take the fall? Do you even know the basic principle of being a daughter?! Do you have any conscience at all?!â
The head of the Administrative Department also said coldly, âVice President Horton, donât worry. My department will get to the bottom of this. The Horton Group will not wrong any mother, nor will we tolerate an ungrateful employee!â
Keira knew it would be like this.
The result of denying the claim would only draw these peopleâs suspicion.
She let out a soft laugh, knowing that this was definitely not over yet.
Indeed, Isla sighed. She hypocritically took a few steps forward to Poppy. âAunt Hill, you may want to take all the blame, but itâs impossible. Nobody here is a fool. We all know whatâs going on. The best way now is to admit your mistake and beg the Horton Group for forgiveness. Otherwise, Keira will be expelled from her universityâ¦â
âIs that so?â
Poppy looked at the head of the Administrative Department for help.
The head of the Administrative Department nodded. âYes, we have our own judgment, and we can see that youâre covering up for your daughterâ¦â Poppy dropped to the ground as if she had lost all her strength.
But suddenly, she seemed to understand something. She walked on her knees to Keira, grabbed her leg, and said, âKeira, there is no way around it. Just admit your mistakes! As long as you admit your mistakes, the Horton Group will give you a chance. Even if they fire you, you still have your qualifications, and you can find another job. But if you donât and get expelled from school, your future will be ruined!â
She seemed to be in severe pain and even squeezed a few tears out of her eyes, but in a place where others couldnât see, her eyes turned vicious.
Keira looked at her mother kneeling in front of her and still found it absurd. In the past, Poppy had always been straightforward with her, forcing her to give in to Isla whenever she made a request.
Had she become a good actor now?
Did Isla teach her that?
Poppy was still whimpering. âHl admit the mistake for Keira. As her mother, Iâll kneel and apologize to you all! I hope you can give her another chance, and hope that the school wonât expel herâ¦â
She really kowtowed several times.
The sound made everyone wince.
What a good mother indeed!
The head of the Administrative Department rushed over and tried to help her up but couldnât manage. She then turned towards Keira and shouted, âWhat are you standing around for? Your mother is so sincere. How could she give birth to an ungrateful daughter like you?!â
On the side, the Vice Chancellor of Oceanion University also showed a look of pity.
The dean spoke directly, âKeira, you still refuse to admit your mistake? Are you trying to force your mother to death? How could our school have a student like you? Chancellor, you see what kind of a person she is. Even Professor Miller insists on vouching for her. I wonder how she managed to bewitch Professor Miller. Heâs so confused, that I had to suspend him!â
The Vice-Chancellor frowned, not liking what he heard. âYou better watch your words.â
He came here today with the bean because Professor Miller had called him saying the bean was going to expel a student.
A studentâs education is their business card, and getting expelled was such a serious matter. They even suspended a professor!
The Vice-Chancellor felt it had gone too far.
He came here at Professor Millerâs request.
But looking at it now, it seemed as though the dean wasnât completely wrong. He couldnât help but look at Keira. âYoung lady, you must apologize quickly! If you keep this up, not even Professor Miller will be able to protect you!
Poppy immediately stopped kowtowing and looked at her.â Keira, did you hear that? Everyone is telling you to admit your mistakes quickly. Theyâll give you another chanceâ¦â
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked upon, and someone outside shouted, âMr. Samuel Morgan is here..â
