Chapter 82
At the moment, a smug look plastered on Queenie's face.
Although Natalie managed to escape unscathed from the incident with Qasim, Queenie didn't expect that her other scheme would not only ruin Natalie's reputation but also shock the principal!
What was the principal's purpose of gathering everyone in the auditorium? He was surely going to expel Natalie!
Queenie's heart was filled with ecstasy.
She was sick of attending the same school as Natalie. She was indignant that Natalie was qualified to be in the same school as her. Natalie should get a good look at herself in the mirror.
"Everyone, settle down!" The principal tried to start his announcement.
The noise gradually subsided.
Natalie's eyes jerked slightly. She had no idea why the principal had summoned everyone here. And what did it have to do with the scandal between her and Sebastian?
If it wasn't for Tobias' phone call earlier on, she might push the panic button at that moment. However, Tobias' phone call in the morning reassured her.
She kept reminding herself not to be disheartened. She was not entirely alone at the moment. A capable guy was backing her up.
Natalie was calm in this situation, but Yvonne and Sebastian were both on the anxious seat.
Yvonne said to Natalie in a low voice, panic-stricken, "Natalie, what are you going to do now? I didn't expect the principal to be a moron. He can't tell that those photos are fake."
Sebastian looked as pale as death at the moment. His pale face made him look like he was on the verge of collapsing.
Yvonne was a little sullen to see Sebastian acting like this.
"Look at you, Sebastian. You are a man, but you are not calm at all. Look at how calm Natalie is. You should learn from her."
Sebastian pursed his lips and kept quiet.
He was not afraid of being expelled. After all, he still had a backup plan. Of course, no one in Agaphen University knew about this, not even Natalie and Yvonne.
Nevertheless, he was scared to death that Natalie would get expelled.
Standing on the stage, the principal announced, "Regarding the photo leak of Sebastian and Natalie, it has inflicted an unfavorable impression on Agaphen University. The school has reported this case to the police to conduct a detailed investigation. We can now confirm that the allegedly explicit photos of Sebastian and Natalie were forged. The truth is, Sebastian and Natalie have a normal friendship as classmates. I hope that all students will no longer be deceived by this fiasco. Please judge things more subjectively from now on."
After the principal finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
After all, the principal of Agaphen University had spoken, and according to him, the police had investigated this issue. The outcome was obvious. The photos of Natalie and Sebastian must be fake. It turned out that everyone had misunderstood Sebastian and Natalie.
Queenie was as pale as a ghost.
How could this happen? The principal had personally clarified the matter for Natalie. How could this happen!
Kimberly's face was pale too, and her mind went haywire.
"Those photos are fake? How is it possible? They look so real."
Some were happy about this while some were in anguish.
Compared to the sorrow deeply felt by Queenie and Kimberly, Yvonne, Natalie, Sebastian all sighed in relief.
Yvonne was grinning from ear to ear at the moment. "I have accused the principal of being a moron, but now it seems like I have to take back my words. From now on, I, Yvonne Simpson, am the principal of Agaphen University's number one fan!"
Sebastian's face also gradually revitalized after hearing the news.
There was a sparkle in Natalie's eyes. It made her even more attractive in a flash.
That man had said that she didn't need to fret anymore. It was true that he would help her solve the problem.
When the principal was about to dismiss everyone, Natalie stood up and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
The principal was stunned.
Natalie proceeded to step onto the podium as she implored, "Principal, may I have a word?"
The principal nodded and replied, "Go ahead, Natalie."
A smile formed on the corner of Natalie's mouth. She glanced at the students below.
It was the first time she stood on the stage and faced so many people. She felt herself getting jittery.
However, she calmed down when she thought of how she was going to get her revenge.
"Dear students, Kimberly, our beloved campus belle of Agaphen University, once vowed that the alleged explicit photos of Sebastian and me were real. She has asserted some bold words that if those photos were fake, she would broadcast herself eating sh*t."
She paused briefly. A glint of slyness twinkled in her eyes. "Next, let us welcome Kimberly, the campus belle of Agaphen University. Of course, she will show us her remarkable talent as she does a live broadcast and eats sh*t!" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
An uproar spread through the crowd as everyone had their eyes glued on Kimberly. Kimberly's face flushed. She stamped her feet hard and ran out of the auditorium, crying like a banshee.
"Natalie, you should let bygones be bygone. You should know that Kimberly's father is an influential man. Just forget about this whole fiasco for the sake of Agaphen University." The principal hurried to Natalie's side and begged her in a low voice.
Natalie did not answer him as she thought to herself, "Kimberly embarrassed herself in front of the whole university. I'll be the bigger person and let go of this matter. I'm not the type to hold grudges anyway."
She nodded to the principal before walking off the stage.
This time, Natalie was up on cloud nine as she sighed in relief. Queenie looked at Natalie's smiling face with seething anger to the point that she was about to explode.
After returning to the classroom, Yvonne went to the canteen to buy some snacks and drinks to celebrate with Natalie and Sebastian.
After enjoying the drinks and snacks, the three of them were all in high spirits.
Especially for Natalie, as she finally was able to experience exhilaration after venting her frustrations.
Of course, she did not forget that none of this was possible if it was not for Tobias.
She knew the fact that the principal wouldn't help clarify the rumors surrounding Sebastian and her because of a nobody like her. It must be because of Tobias. Natalie was indebted to him.
She vowed that she would return the favor!
"However, how can I make it up to him? Will I need to repay him with my body?" Natalie pictured herself fresh out of the shower and lying in bed while waiting for Tobias patiently.
"Well, I shouldn't even be considering it. It will never happen." She murmured silently.
After all, Natalie was someone with self-respect.
Then how could she repay Tobias? Tobias had everything he wanted. If she decided to repay him with money, wouldn't that be the joke of the year?
In the end, Natalie decided that she would prepare Tobias a homecooked meal for dinner.
Although it was just a simple dinner, doing this represented her sincerity.
In the afternoon, she called Aunt Lee and told her that she didn't have to prepare dinner today. Natalie would be preparing it instead.
Although Aunt Lee was a servant while Natalie was her master, Natalie was a carefree and easy- going person. Her personality let them very close. Since she had decided that she wanted to cook herself, Aunt Lee wouldn't mind.
After class, Natalie went home immediately.
She knew that Tobias wouldn't return home any time soon, so she had plenty of time to cook.
"Miss Godfrey, do you know how to cook?" Seeing Natalie entering the kitchen, Aunt Lee couldn't help but ask. "Of course, I know how to cook. I'm an excellent chef." Natalie beamed with confidence.
She was not bom into a life of wealth and ease, after all. As a girl from a poor family, she needed to be good at cooking.
Natalie pushed Aunt Lee onto the sofa and said, "Aunt Lee, you can just sit here. You can just eat some snacks while I'm in the kitchen. Please rest assured."
Aunt Lee couldn't help smiling. She had discovered something about Natalie.
