Chapter 371 

She was out of options! 

Pulling her phone from her pocket, she declared, “I’ve got a recording that proves everything I’m saying is 

true.” 

Jillian never expected Odelia to be so crafty, secretly recording their conversation. Panic started to creep in, though she clung to a flicker of hope. 

Maybe Odelia was bluffing. Maybe there was no recording at all. 

But as the recording played, filling the room with their voices, Jillian’s last shred of hope shattered. 

“Ms. Jillian, do you have anything to say for yourself?” 

Mr. Richard’s face was stern, his eyes full of disapproval 

No one likes a person of questionable character, let alone someone downright malicious. People like Jillian didn’t deserve to stay at the University of Maple Grove. 

“…” 

Jillian stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence. The recording was irrefutable; there was no room for denial. 

Christian’s expression soured. They had the upper hand, but the recording turned the tables. 

Unable to muster a defense, Mr. Richard turned to Christian. “Mr. Turner, you’ve heard the recording. What do you think?” 

Christian didn’t answer directly but countered, “What do you suggest we do, Mr. Richard?” 

“Since both parties are at fault, making a big deal out of this benefits no one. A major reprimand for each and a five–thousand–word reflective essay. Does that sound fair?” 

Mr. Richard sought the opinions of Raul and Christian. 

Before Raul could speak, Christian cut in. 

“Mr. Richard, let me be clear. Odelia must be expelled. As for my daughter’s reprimand, do as you please.” 

Henrik lifted his gaze, his tone icy. “Mr. Turner, are you sure you want to escalate this? Your dauyur sabotaged a speech and insulted a deceased mother. If this gets out, it will only hurt your daughter.” 

“And what right do you have to speak to me?” Christian scoffed. “Don’t threaten me. I don’t care what others say, but Odelia must be expelled.” 

“Mr. Richard, I’m not joking. In terms of offenses, Odelia’s assault on a fellow student is far more serious. Labeling her with a disorder like impulsivity or rage disorder could easily justify her expulsion. You know the influence of the Grant family in Maple Grove. You have to choose between siding with a newcomer like the Irving family or aligning with us.” 

After Christian’s words, Mr. Richard’s expression darkened significantly. 

Was he being pressured to capitulate because of someone’s influence and connections in Maple Grove? 

He had shown respect, but was it taken for granted? 

Had he been easily intimidated, he wouldn’t hold his position at the University of Maple Grove. 

“Mr. Turner, as the University of Maple Grove’s Mr. Garcia, I must remain impartial. Odelia cannot be expelled. As for your daughter, whether she continues her education here or withdraws is entirely up to

you.” 

Mr. Richard was genuinely angered, his tone far from the pleasant demeanor earlier, now laced with deep impatience. 

“Mr. Turner, are you determined to make an enemy of the Grant family?” 

Christian’s expression darkened, venomous like a snake ready to strike. 

“Mr. Turner does have quite the authority.” 

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from the doorway. 

Two young men in suits walked in, strides confident. The one on the left wore a cold expression, while the one on the right crossed his arms, not bothering to hide the scorn on his face, defiant.
