A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 217

"If you're done speaking, leave! Don't put on an act in front of me. That's disgusting!" Demi declared coldly.

After that, she flipped a page from her book.

Meanwhile, Ana fell silent. Tearing up, she covered her mouth and quickly headed back to her own seat.

"Demi, aren't you taking things too far?" Suddenly, Rowena stood up and yelled loudly at Demi.

The latter ignored her, but Charles looked up and glared at Rowena.

Rowena hesitated and shrunk back. Then, she went back to her seat.

She didn't know the dreadful calamity that would befall her moments later.

Just then, Luna stood outside the classroom and shouted grimly, "Ana, Rowena, Seraphina, and Xendaya, come out now!"

The four girls looked at each other in confusion.

Rowena, Seraphina, and Xendaya looked a little guilty, recalling how they threw Demi's books in the past. Meanwhile, Ana was flabbergasted.

All of them hurriedly followed after Luna.

"What's wrong, Ms. Lindell?" Ana asked cautiously.

"Follow me to the principal's office." Luna looked very serious, and her heels clacked on the ground as she walked.

This made Ana a little uneasy.

However, she didn't do anything wrong.

Ana guessed that Jacob would check on Demi later; after all, there had been rumors about the latter being her housekeeper.

So, Ana calmed down.

What was she going to say later on?

"If I tell the truth, would Demi get mad and expose our true identities to everyone?" she wondered.

She couldn't tell the truth. But she couldn't lie either.

In the end, Ana decided to keep quiet and let the others figure out what was going on instead.

…

Luna led Ana and the others into the principal's office. Rowena stood at the back, looking guilty and nervous.

Though Ana and the others were furious, they felt that Jacob was making a mountain out of a molehill. Yet, they still panicked and looked guilty.

However, Ana was a little calmer than the others. As she recalled the incident, she knew that she had not said anything bad about Demi.

That was because she was afraid that Demi would get mad and tell everyone about their real identities. Besides, Ana had a kind image to maintain. She couldn't say bad things about other people in public.

"I told you all to stop bullying other people two days ago, but you didn't listen. Instead, you kept causing trouble for me!" Jacob roared angrily.

They humiliated him in front of Derek.

"We just discussed about her. Is Demi an important person? Why can't we talk about her?" Rowena muttered.

Jacob fell silent.

After that, he laughed angrily. "All of you are still unrepentant. Forget it, I have nothing left to say to you. Pack up and leave! You're expelled from this school!"

The four girls instantly panicked. Ana spoke up anxiously, "Mr. Stronghold, I didn't say anything!"

Just when the other three girls were about to defend themselves, they heard Ana's words. Immediately, they looked at her in shock.

Instead of solving the problem together, she wanted to sever ties with them.
