Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1199

"Is this really the time to discuss this?"

With the situation escalating, Jacob couldn't openly defend Helen, so he deflected. "We only have this video, and there's no audio at the moment. We can't say for sure that Helen is at fault—"

Before he could finish, Megan stood up abruptly.

"Mr. Morrison, seeing is believing. What else is there to discuss? Are you trying to cover for Helen? If a student here is intentionally hurting others, what would that say about the University of Glendale? We might be subject to public criticism as well."

She persisted. "Helen is a top liberal arts student. Are you more concerned about her than about us science students being judged?"

Jacob was so stressed by the conversation that his palms began to sweat.

This wasn't what he wanted to see. Helen was his student, and so were the others. He didn't want any student to be harmed.

However, if he didn't make a decision now, and if the school's leadership's credibility was questioned, the university's reputation would be at risk. The University of Glendale would become the center of public scrutiny, and expelling a single student would not solve the issue.

As Megan continued to stir the pot, he realized he couldn't wait any longer. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then turned to Helen with a serious expression. "Helen, did you break the leg of the man in the video?"

"Yes, I did," Helen admitted calmly.

The room erupted in astonishment.

Edmund seized the moment. "Mr. Morrison, Helen has confessed. We can expel her from the University of Glendale now!"

Jacob sighed, lowered his gaze, and nodded in acknowledgment, which was as good as consenting.

"Oh? If it's not up to me, does that mean it's up to you, Mr. Murdoch? I didn't realize that the University of Glendale is now run by foreign teachers."

She originally planned to avoid trouble with him and just get by, but since he couldn't tolerate her, she decided to burn all bridges.

"That's right. Mr. Murdoch, why are you so impatient? Helen still has something to say. Let her speak; it's only fair," Jacob, who didn't genuinely wish to expel Helen, intervened.

As the president, he was not about to let Edmund have absolute power.

He paused and looked at her with a gentle expression. "Helen, if you have anything to say, please go ahead. Don't hesitate."

She thought for a moment and then looked directly at Edmund. "In this entire classroom, only Mr. Murdoch and Megan firmly believe I've committed a crime. So, I'd like to ask, can I also demand that you both leave this university if the facts turn out differently and you have misunderstood me?"
