Chapter 99 Deprived Her of the Courage to Even Steal Another Glance

Daphne smiled as she thought to herself, "She didn't offend Dawson, but she offended me." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

She remembered very well the humiliation she suffered from Cecilia on the basketball court last week, not to mention that despicable Charlotte who dared to seduce Andrew...

Whistling happily, she suddenly heard someone say. "Daphne, the dean is looking for you!"

Daphne stood up with a look of confusion. "The dean?"

The dean stood by the classroom door, and his face wore an inexplicable expression. He nodded to the teacher who was conducting the class and said, "I need to speak with Daphne about something."

The teacher nodded in acknowledgment. "Go ahead."

Daphne hesitantly left the classroom and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

The dean replied, "You'll know soon enough. Follow me."

Daphne grew even more curious until they reached the infirmary. It was only then that she realized something was amiss. "Sir... What are we doing here?"

The dean's face darkened. "You'll find out once you go in."

Daphne instinctively wanted to leave, but the dean didn't give her a chance. Instead, he directly pushed her inside.

"You're Daphne, right?" Waylon gazed at the girl with thick makeup before him and asked.

"And who are you?" Daphne quickly scanned her surroundings. At the same time, her thoughts spun rapidly.

Waylon responded, "Who I am is not important. Just a moment ago, Mr. Maddox stated that you had manipulated him to target Ms. Lopez. I'm just here to verify it."

Daphne's face immediately turned grim. She glanced at Dawson, who was trembling on the ground. "Mr. Maddox, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Dawson angrily retorted, "You bitch. I've suffered because of you, and you actually want me to conceal it for you? Let me tell you. Don't even think about it! I recorded everything just in case you deny it later!"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and began playing the audio he recorded. Upon hearing the explicit and filthy content of the audio, those present frowned in disgust and felt a nuanced sense of awkwardness.

Daphne had already applied the lightest shade of foundation to her face, which made it appear somewhat dull and like that of a lifeless person. At that moment, the expression on her face was incredibly unsightly.

It never crossed her mind that this matter would be revealed in such a way, and that scoundrel Dawson even recorded it!

Dawson sobbed as he said, "I was really foolish to have agreed to this bitch... I'll never do it again... Mr. Clark... I beg you..."

Daphne had initially been thinking of ways to smooth things over and disentangle herself from the situation. However, when she heard the name Dawson called out, she was shocked to the core.

She turned her head in disbelief, only to see the man in a black overcoat. The oppressive aura emanating from him made it impossible for Daphne to lift her head and deprived her of the courage to even steal another glance.

Waylon questioned, "Daphne, why are you targeting Ms. Lopez?"

When Daphne realized the identity of the person who had come, she was utterly terrified and at a loss for words. It was none other than Mr. Clark, someone who was widely known throughout the entire Seyso.

He was a real devil capable of massacring an entire family! Although no one dared to speak out about the infamous city-wide massacre that happened ten years ago, in secret, everyone knew it was this man who had committed the crime!

Daphne tried hard to remain calm, but tears and snot streamed down her face and ruined her makeup. "I... I-I happened to hear someone mention that Charlotte has poor health. She embarrassed me before, so...so..."

Waylon felt that it was difficult to make sense of what she was saying, so he cut to the chase and asked, "That's why you manipulated Dawson?"

Daphne cried as she replied with a trembling voice, "Y-Yes...I didn't know she was connected to Mr. Clark. If only I had known..."

Waylon smiled faintly. "What's done is done."

Mr. Mason noticed that Nelson did not direct his anger toward him, so he cautiously asked, "Mr. Clark... How do you suggest we handle this?"

Nelson looked at the pale-faced girl in his embrace. His eyes filled with an unfathomable coldness. He replied expressionlessly, "Waylon, deal with it right away."

Waylon sighed inwardly but dared not intervene. He then proceeded to reload his handgun.

"Mr. Clark?" Charlotte's delicate voice sounded as if it could fade away at any moment. She blinked a few times, and eventually, her eyes opened. "...What's going on?"

Nelson exchanged a glance with Waylon. The latter immediately understood and put his handgun away, not wanting to startle Charlotte.

Nelson touched Charlotte's forehead and asked, "You're awake? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Charlotte whispered, "I'm in a lot of pain all over my body, and my throat is also sore."

Nelson softly said, "I'll take you to the hospital."

Charlotte didn't act tough and simply nodded. Just then, she saw Dawson kneeling on the ground. "Mr. Maddox?"

Dawson's body trembled as he was startled by hearing someone call him out of the blue. "...Yes."

Waylon then proceeded to explain everything to Charlotte.

Charlotte glanced at Daphne, and she felt somewhat speechless. "Hey, during the basketball game, you were the one who provoked me first. Cecilia only warned you, and she didn't resort to physical violence. She has already been very considerate. And yet, you bear such a deep grudge?"

Daphne didn't dare to say anything and pleaded repeatedly, "I know I was wrong... I really know I was wrong, Charlotte... Charlotte, please ask Mr. Clark to spare me..."

Dawson also hurriedly said, "Charlotte, I made a mistake! I know I was wrong too..."

Charlotte pursed her pale lips and lifted her head to glance at Nelson.

"Mr. Clark?"

"It's up to you to decide," Nelson said nonchalantly.

If he were to handle it, these two individuals would certainly not be able to leave the infirmary alive.

Charlotte lowered her head and pondered for a long time. She then said, "Let's just remove them from the school."

Dawson was influenced by his student and engaged in revenge for personal reasons. He was truly unfit to be a teacher.

As for Daphne, she was narrow-minded. She held grudges even for the slightest matters and intentionally sought revenge. It was not a good thing for her to remain at Srolanya High School either.

Charlotte was not a fool. She knew how to make choices that benefited her.

She thought she was being ruthless enough, but little did she know that the dean, Daphne, and Dawson all breathed a sigh of relief. They had initially thought that this matter couldn't be resolved without violence. Now, the problem could be resolved simply by expelling them, which was truly a stroke of luck in an unfortunate situation.

Waylon glanced at Nelson, whose face showed no emotion. The latter scooped up Charlotte and said in a cold voice, "Do as she says."

"Yes." Waylon nodded.

Nelson ignored everyone else and carried Charlotte out of the infirmary.

Waylon cast a glance at both Dawson and Daphne, who were still kneeling on the ground, and he smiled. "Do you two really believe the matter ends here?"
