BXBX NOVEL Chapter 361 Similar Messages From Their Parents
John, Lester, Jade, Nyka, and Emma were put in a hot seat. The Guidance Counselor and Disciplinary Committee gave them a good scolding. They asked them the reason for doing that but no one among them could justify their actions.
They couldn't make any excuses anymore. The evidence Sophia and Zhen-Zhen presented was enough to prove their evil deeds. The Disciplinary Committee ordered them to apologize to Sophia. They had no choice but to do it.
They were also warned about the video. The Guidance Counselor to delete all the video or else, they would encourage Sophia to take legal action regarding this matter.
They didn't expect that everything would backfire on them. Now, they were being punished for having a one-month community service. They couldn't expel them nor suspend them since their families were also powerful businessmen who were members of the school board.
Sophia and Zhen-Zhen left the conference hall with a bright smile on their faces. At least, they were relieved now that the video won't be used against her. Sophia and Zhen-Zhen thanked Mary once more for helping them. They soon proceeded to their respective classes.
Meanwhile, Jade and others were asked to stay behind to reflect on the sin they committed. The Guidance Counselor made them sit in the conference room for an hour just to read the 500-page Rule book of the University of Imperial Knights.
The Guidance Counselor left the conference hall together with the other members of the Disciplinary Committee. The three ladies felt mad for the humiliation they got today.
They couldn't accept that Sophia won. They saw her smiling together with her friend as they left the conference room. That sight made the three ladies boil in rage. They should be the ones laughing at Sophia but it ended up the wrong way.
Jade couldn't control her emotions anymore as she slammed the Rule Book on the table as she stood up.
Glaring at John, she asked him. "How the hell did you lose your phone? How careless are you? Why didn't you erase those messages? Because of your foolishness and stupidity, we ended up like this. How did Sophia get ahold of your phone? EXPLAIN?!!!"
Jade felt like a volcano erupting right now as she ranted on John.
John and Lester remained silent. They were intimidated by Jade's angry expression. She was like a demoness right now, ready to punish them.
"Sophia's friend who knows how to hypnotize took that phone from me. Lester also lost his phone." Those were the only words John could respond to her.
Jade squinted her eyes at him, "Don't give me such a lame excuse. Hypnotize my foot!"
"I can't accept this. Take responsibility for this! John, I want you to spread Sophia's video. I couldn't stand seeing her smiling like that while we are here being punished! Damn! One month community service??! No Way! I will ask Father to do something about this." Jade spoke spontaneously, venting out her frustrations.
"But they already warned us about the video. I don't think it's a good idea to spread the video. Sophia will take legal action against us," Lester raised his concern.
"She can't! She had no money to hire an attorney. She's poor. She just got lucky because of her scholarship or else, she won't be able to set foot on this school," Nyka said to them confidently.
"Our family can hire the best attorney in town! She couldn't win against us. She had no proof that we are the ones who spread the video. Just tell them someone hacked your computer and stolen the file." Emma said, boasting.
"Yes, I can do that. We can put the blame on someone. I'm not happy with this turn of events as well. I want to get my revenge. We will pretend that we know nothing. Besides, they already warned us. We will just say that we are not dumb to go against their warnings because we already know the consequences!" John said, plotting another scheme.
"Yeah, we can also use this against, Sophia. She stole John's phone so we will make it look like she intentionally spread the video so that our group will be blamed. Then she will sue us in order to ask for great compensation for the damage." Jade shared her thoughts with them.
"Wow, that's a brilliant idea. We will become the victim as Sophia will look like doing this for money," Nyka clapped her hands in amazement.
Lester shook his head. He had a bad feeling against this. "Don't do another reckless thing. Did you forget that Sophia also has a strong backing!"
The three ladies glanced at Lester, feeling confused.
"A strong backing? What are you talking about, Babe?" It was Nyka who asked Lester.
"Sophia's boyfriend is Matthew Wilkins, the assistant and best friend of Tristan Davis, the CEO of the Heaven Star Enterprise."
After meeting Matthew today, Lester made a research about him. He found out that the Wilkins family was very close to the Davis Family. They also had a high social status but not that influential like the Davis Family.
Matthew was supposed to lead their business of the Wilkins Family but he chose to stay with Tristan and assist him to secure and maintain his position as the CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise.
Aside from that, Matthew was doing this because Tristan suggested to him to learn from his management since Matthew would be the future CEO of the Wilkins' company. Being his assistant, Tristan was training and preparing Matthew for his future position.
"WHAT??! Are you serious?" Nyka couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"Are you kidding us, Lester? Matthew and Sophia are couples?" Emma asked him again with disbelief.
"That man was the person who overheard our conversation during the Acquaintance Party. No wonder he reacted like that. He threatened us and asked where he could find Sophia and Marcus. He used the Chairman of the Heavenly Star Company to threaten us so we had no choice but to tell him their location." Jade recalled their encounter with Matthew that night.
They were still talking about Matthew and Sophia when suddenly each one of them received a message. Only Lester didn't get one because his phone was still in Zhen-Zhen's possession.
Zhen-Zhen didn't return the phone yet, thinking that she could do more spying on their group using his phone.
Everyone, except Lester, frowned after reading the message. Lester got curious after seeing their confused expression.
"What's wrong? Who messaged you?" Lester asked them.
"I got a message from Mom, telling me to head home straight after class." Nyka said as a response to Lester's inquiry.
"I got the same message from Dad," Emma showed them the message she got from her Dad.
"Guys, do you think the Guidance Counselor informed them already about what happened here?" Emma asked them anxiously.
Jade shook her head as the frown on her face deepened. "I doubt that. The Guidance Counselor told us that we should tell our parents to come tomorrow as he will talk to them personally. I don't think he already told them what happened here."
"That's strange… why are our parents all telling us to go home straight and they have something to talk to us about?" Nyka mumbled, feeling puzzled.
Everyone just shrugged their shoulders because no one knew the answer.
