Chapter 28
The two of them glared at Lindsey with resentment, as though they thought that she was the one who found the damning surveillance footage.
When the clip ended, the assistant then proceeded to show everyone screenshots of Ismael and Nina’s check-in records at a hotel, which were irrefutable evidence.
“He’s the dean of a department, but he not only had an affair with a student but also abused his power to oppress another outstanding student.
Mr.
Prescott, do you think we should support a school that’d let such a serious matter slide?” Emilio stared at the university president sharply as he spoke.
The latter was trembling in fear.
“Don’t worry, Mr.
Howard! I’ll investigate it thoroughly and give you a satisfactory solution.
”
With a cold snort, Emilio looked at Daniel and said, “Mr.
Lyons, I believe that the Department of Education would deal with it impartially.
Whoever was involved in this matter-whether it be a student, a teacher, a dean, or even a president-we cannot let them off the hook easily.
”
Hearing this, all the color drained from the president’s face.
He immediately regretted helping Ismael cover up his mistakes.
Now that he was involved, he’d likely be punished.
Daniel nodded with a cold expression and stood up.
“From now on, Ismael Ballard will be removed from office.
As for the others related to this matter, we’ll investigate and get to the bottom of things before deciding on a punishment.

Ismael’s jaw dropped.
He’d spent two decades clawing his way to the top.
If he got fired for this, it’d go on his permanent record, and his career would be toast!
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Nina, who was trembling like a leaf.
He stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up from the seat.
“It’s her! This is all her fault! She’s the one who told me about Lindsey’s supposed ‘bad conduct’.
She lied to me! I was deceived by her and made a wrong judgment.
Please, please give me another chance.
I’ll never make the same mistake again!”
Shouting, Ismael threw Nina into the fire like a madman, his face contorted in anger and desperation.
He wanted to pin all the blame on her in a last-ditch effort to extricate himself from the matter.

Nina struggled to free herself and shouted back, “Bullshit! I never told you anything! Besides, what makes you think I’d want to be with someone as fat and old and ugly as you? You forced me to be with you!”
These words pissed Ismael off so much that he couldn’t help but slap her in the face.
Nina stumbled and fell to the floor in a daze.
“You bitch! You’re the one who shamelessly seduced me! I was blinded by you!”
“I didn’t- I never-!” Nina covered her swelling left cheek and burst into tears, unable to speak coherently.
Ismael was about to hit Nina again, but the other people present managed to stop him in time.
Then, several security guards rushed into the office to escort him out as though he were a criminal.
Finally, the farce was over.
Lindsey stood still in a daze.
She couldn’t wrap her head around what just happened.
Minutes earlier, she was about to be expelled from school.
How did the tables turn so quickly?
Was there someone helping her from the shadows? But who could it be?
As Emilio walked past Lindsey, he gave her a sly wink and then sauntered out with a knowing grin.
Now, Lindsey was even more confused.
She had never seen this man before in her life, so why did he act as though he knew her?
While deep in thought, Lindsey wandered out of the administration building.
Among all the people she knew, she guessed that only Sumner would have connections to a big shot like Emilio.
Besides, he was the only person she had told, and he had said very confidently that those bad people would experience karma.
She concluded that he was the one who had secretly helped her, but she couldn’t figure out why he didn’t tell her in advance.
