Chapter 32
"Who is it?" the principal asked.
The principal looked at the young woman who came in, feeling a little confused.
"I am Wayne Chariott's sister. A while back, Wayne was hospitalized and asked for leave of absence. Last week, I contacted the school to arrange for him to come back for class, but I was told that he was expelled from the university." Coralie clarified.
Coralie still did not look back.
"Oh yes, we heard that he hurt someone. Our school does not tolerate students with such poor behavior." the principal contended.
The principal recalled this matter instantly. He suddenly became hostile even though he was quite friendly just a moment ago.
He seemed to be very disgusted by Wayne.
"Wayne Chariott is man of morality! You can't listen to the one-sided perspective in this case. What's more, a university as excellent as A University must have a comprehensive consideration on the admission of students." Coralie retorted.
Seeing the principal's attitude, Coralie was a little anxious and took advantage of praising A University.
"You're right, that some students have their immorality well-hidden. No matter what, in this society ruled by law, isn't it wrong for him to hurt people?" the principal replied.
"This again!" Coralie snapped.
In the end, hitting someone is wrong, but Coralie really could not explain to the principal about the rumors about her in the hospital.
If she were to tell the principal about the rumors about her being a mistress which led to his brother hitting the nurse, she did not know what would the principal think. It would definitely make the matter worse. "He was wrong, but..." Coralie attempted to argue.
"But what? You're his sister, aren't you? I heard from the family members of the victim that you're a mistress who acts as a tyrant in the hospital and has a bad attitude towards nurses. Your brother is even worse. If the nurse couldn't take care of him, he will scold them vulgarly. Why would A University want a student like this?"
The principal affirmed confidently.
Coralie was stunned. She did not expect that the nurse's mother would say that about them.
And the principal actually believed it.
"What? Don't you want to talk? Or do you have nothing to say? Hurry up and leave. Our university will not accept Wayne Chariott as our student." said the principal.
The principal wanted to drive her away impatiently. He stood up from his seat, went straight to the door, and opened the door.
"Principal, they're lying. I'm not a mistress. Please don't listen to their nonsense. The police warned them about defaming me and prevented them from blackmailing me. That's why they so they came to the university to lie." Coralie uttered.
Coralie blocked the path and did not allow the principal to open the door.
If she got out of this door, the principal would definitely not see her again in the future. It will make it much harder to settle this issue.
"Not a mistress? I don't care if you are mistress or not. Anyway, Wayne Chariott isn't welcome here. You can find a way yourself!" the principal snorted.
The principal was
impatient. Seeing Coralie blocking the path to the door, he reached out his hand and directly pushed her away.
But before his hand touched her arm, she heard a low and magnetic voice from the sofa behind the desk. "She's not a mistress."
Coralie was stunned. This voice...
"Could it be..."
She turned around and saw a handsome man sitting on the black leather sofa behind her, wearing a pair of trousers and a white shirt with a gem-blue tie. "Sky..." she stuttered.
"President Holland, do you know this woman?" asked the principal.
The principal quickly took back the hand that was going to push Coralie and walked up to Skylar with a flattering face.
Compared to the attitude he had with Coralie, one was superior to others, while the other was humble.
Coralie looked at Skylar nervously. She did not expect him to be here, but Coralie understood that if Skylar was willing to help her, then nothing else would matter. All the problems would automatically be solved.
She looked nervously at Skylar, afraid that he would deny that he knew her.
"Yes."
After thinking for a while, Skylar answered lightly.
You could not tell from his voice whether he was happy or angry, nor the relationship between them.
With only a single word, Coralie's heart calmed down.
"I see." the principal replied.
The principal looked at Coralie, and his expression changed from a serious disgust to a smile on his face. "I knew that this woman was dignified. She dressed gracefully, and didn't have make up. How could she be a mistress?"
These words made Coralie sneer in her heart. He was full of disdain just now, but in a blink of an eye, she became dignified and generous.
It seemed that even if he was an educator, it was inevitable for him to bow down to power.
Coralie and Skylar did not say a word.
In order to reduce the awkwardness in the atmosphere, the principal asked again, "What's the relationship between you two?"
"Friends."
"Husband and wife."
There were two voices and two answers.
It was Coralie who said that they were friends.
The one who replied with "husband and wife" was Skylar.
The principal looked at Coralie and then looked at Skylar. He did not know who to believe.
In fact, he was more willing to trust Coralie. After all, Skylar, who was sitting behind him, had seen his attitude towards Coralie just now.
If they were husband and wife, the principal wondered whether Skylar would let him go.
But on second thought, if they were husband and wife, why didn't Skylar stand up for Coralie and instead let her do this by herself? "Husband... and wife."
Coralie changed her mind.
When Coralie corrected herself, she gratefully glanced at Skylar. In fact, if Skylar had not said it first, she would not have changed her words.
A few days ago, Skylar's outburst left a wound in her heart. Even though many days had passed, it had not fully healed.
"I see. I'm sorry, President Holland. I didn't know that this is your wife, and I didn't know that Wayne Chariott is your brother-in-law."
The principal said to Skylar with a smile on his face.
"Well, I've known Wayne since he was a child. He's a good child. He won't beat people for no reason." Skylar said. Wayne and Skylar used to have a good relationship with each other, furthermore they also had a man-to-man agreement. Skylar trusted Wayne very much. If he knew about this, he would definitely help Coralie even if she did not say anything. "Yes, yes, President Holland, I did not check it out properly. I will pay more attention next time."
The principal apologized and smiled apologetically.
"Well, we'll leave first." Skylar said, holding Coralie's hand and walked out of the office in front of the principal.
"See you. President Holland and Mrs. Holland" the principal replied.
The principal followed him out.
"You can go back. You don't have to see me off."
Skylar walked towards the door and left. The principal, on the other hand, turned around and went back to his desk.
When the door of the principal's room was closed, before Skylar could let go, Coralie took back her hand consciously, turned around and said to Skylar, "Thank you for helping me just now."
Skylar was stunned. He did not expect that Coralie would take the initiative to withdraw her hand. Seeing her hand withdrawn and hid behind her back. His palm, which was left in mid-air, slowly clenched and drooped.
There was still the sense of touch of her soft palm lingering in his hand.
"Don't be mistaken. I'm not helping you. I'm helping Wayne." Skylar clarified.
Skylar's hand naturally drooped down, but it looked a little stiff. Coralie's behavior had successfully irritated him.
