A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 219

"Are you sure you didn't say it? Though you said nothing in that short video, are you sure you didn't say anything after that?" Jacob questioned.

"Yes!" Ana nodded firmly.

"I can check the cameras and ask the students who were around you at that time." Jacob stared at her.

"I'm not afraid of that because I didn't say it!" Ana remained calm.

Jacob nodded. "Alright. You may remain in school for now."

As a principal, he couldn't malign others.

Meanwhile, Rowena and the others glared at Ana furiously. They became angrier once Jacob allowed the latter to stay!

"Alright. All of you may leave." Jacob waved his hands dismissively.

"Ms. Lindell…" Then, Rowena, Xendaya, and Seraphina looked at Luna pitifully.

Hesitating briefly, Luna looked at Jacob.

"Mr. Stronghold, they're still children. Perhaps they spoke without thinking," Luna said.

Jacob raised his hand and interrupted her, "Ms. Lindell, there have been many incidents in your class. This has caused me a lot of trouble. I'll tell you the truth; the school's stakeholders have also received the news.

"If I let them off this time and allow them to spread negative rumors here, I'll be fired! Naturally, you wouldn't be spared as well! Besides, I reminded them on Monday! However, they refused to listen to me and continued making mistakes.

"What could I do?"

As Luna looked at the indifferent and strict expression on Jacob's face, she realized the severity of the incident.

Sighing deeply, she looked at Ana and the others. "Alright. Follow me back. You have to face the consequences of your actions."

Suddenly, Rowena burst into tears. "Mr. Stronghold, can you let us off this time? We won't do it again!"

Seraphina and Xendaya cried as well.

Meanwhile, Rowena and the others teared up and tried to defend themselves again. However, Jacob waved his hands in frustration. "Leave. I'm still busy. Because of you all, I have a lot of work to do."

He had to find out secretly if there were any other bullies or bad teachers in school. He also had to search for leaders who used their power in exchange for sexual favors.

Then, he had to kick all of them out of school!

Since everyone knew Derek supported him, they had to accept all punishments unless they had been wrongly accused.

…

When Luna brought Ana and the others back to the classroom, the history teacher was still teaching the class.

As she looked at Demi through the window, Luna looked at Rowena and the others. "All of you have to apologize sincerely to Demi later on. Then, you should beg her for help."

In the meantime, Seraphina looked at Demi and Charles. After coming to a decision, she asked tearfully, "Could we beg Mr. Charles for help instead?"
