A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 203

Charles's lackeys quickly released Gerald and Joseph.

Jacob strode in with a stern expression and went straight to the back of the classroom. There, he saw the pile of trash covering Demi's desk and chair.

Demi followed closely behind him.

A sour stench filled the air, and Jacob resisted the urge to cover his nose.

"Demi said someone dumped garbage on her desk and chair. Who did it?" Jacob asked angrily.

"It was them!" Charles's lackeys immediately pointed at the culprits.

"Was it you two?" Jacob's sharp gaze locked onto Gerald and Joseph, the same students who had clashed with Demi the day before.

The two of them exchanged glances, clearly wanting to deny it but too guilty to do so.

"You're here to study, not to stir up trouble! I let you off yesterday, yet you still don't know how to behave! Call your parents!" Jacob bellowed.

"What's the point of calling their parents? Just expel them! They've turned the International Program into a mess, disrupting everyone's studies, including mine!" Charles said coldly. "Also, check if those three girls were involved. I don't want this happening again."

Jacob felt speechless.

At that moment, Luna and Rebecca, the homeroom and math teachers respectively, hurried over after hearing the commotion.

As soon as they arrived, they heard Charles demanding expulsions. And after seeing the dejected looks on Gerald and Joseph, they instantly grasped the situation.

"What happened? What's going on?" Rebecca asked anxiously, pushing through the crowd to the back of the classroom.

When she saw the trash covering Demi's desk, she felt her heart drop.

"Mr. Stronghold, please explain the situation to Ms. Pope," Charles said. "And get rid of that desk immediately. Also, wipe down my desk properly."

His lackeys immediately got to work.

Just as Jacob reached the front door, he turned back. "Also, Rowena, Seraphina, and Xendaya. You three, come with me too."

The three girls exchanged glances and paled at that.

Meanwhile, Charles's lackeys were busy scrubbing his desk and the surrounding area.

"This stinks! Clean it properly!" Charles covered his nose in disgust. "How could you let them do whatever they want just because I was away?"

"We thought they'd behave after getting called to the principal's office yesterday. Who knew they'd double down?" one of his lackeys explained.

"Damn it! They had the nerve to dump trash near my seat. Did they think I was gone for good?" Charles gritted his teeth.

He was a clean freak! Just thinking about how there had been a pile of garbage right next to his desk made his whole body itch with discomfort.

His lackeys knew of his obsession with cleanliness and wiped everything down.
