No Escape from Love novel Chapter 50

"Just wait and see!" Julian threatened me before hanging up.

I was busy organizing the information Alex wanted and didn't have time to dwell on it.

I received a call from the university administration the next morning. I thought that Alex had arrived. When I hurried over to the office, I was surprised to find that Julian was sitting there instead. I started to get a bad feeling in my heart.

Julian stood up and said to Mr. Augustine with an aggrieved expression, "It's her. Peter, the things she said were so hurtful that I ended up resorting to self-harm."

Mr. Augustine's expression immediately darkened.

I scoffed inwardly. Julian really was bad at reading the situation. Was Julian really calling the principal by his name in this setting?

"Serena, would you care to explain yourself?" Mr. Augustine reluctantly asked.

Mr. Herbs stepped forward and said haughtily, "What's there to explain? The evidence is clear. Yesterday, we told you to find some proof by today. Did you manage to find anything?"

I shook my head. "Julian is trying to falsely accuse me. You can't just listen to his side of the story."

"If you claim that it's a false accusation, then produce the evidence," Mr. Herbs retorted aggressively. It was clear that he was trying to win Julian's favor.

I looked at Mr. Herbs and couldn't help but sneer. "The accuser should be the one who needs to prove it. If Julian says my words provoked him, then he needs to show the evidence. You can't just ask me to prove that I didn't say those things."

"The video online is evidence enough," Mr. Herbs said as he stood up to face me. His eyes were filled with malice and vengeance.

It was Alex.

I turned to see him calmly walking into the room in a light khaki suit. His gaze never left me. "Why are you crying?"

Mr. Herbs frowned as he looked at Alex. "You must be Serena's guardian. Let me tell you, Serena's behavior is just unacceptable. We've already decided to expel her, so take her home and discipline her properly."

Alex gently wiped away my tears and shielded me behind him. "What exactly happened to warrant her expulsion?"

Just as Mr. Herbs was about to speak, Mr. Augustine seemed to realize something. He stepped forward with a sleazy smile. "Are you Mr. Hastings from Hastings Group?"
