Ashton’s presence seemed to generate an oppressive low-pressure zone, sending chills down the spines of
everyone in the room
Jewell, who had been speaking confidently just moments ago, froze. “Ashton-
Ashton’s sudden outburst nearly gave Marvin a heart attack, but Marvin had no choice but to step in and
mediate. “Hey, Ashton, let's talk this through calmly. We don’t want to scare the kids, do we?”
Frank nodded frantically in agreement. He was already terrified and didn’t want any more scares. ‘It's all Jewell's
fault. Why has he targeted Briar in the first place? Now he angers Ashton,’ he wondered.
Ashton glanced at Briar, who hadn't budged an inch and remained in her languid, nonchalant posture.
Considering Briar’s feelings, Ashton reluctantly reined in his cold demeanor. Whether Frank got scared was of no
consequence.
“Brandon, bring out the evidence we've gathered and show it to this educator,” Ashton said, pulling up a chair to
sit next to Briar
Brandon, who had been standing quietly by the office door, finally moved. He took out his phone, opened a few
photos, and placed them on the desk.

He explained, “These are the pieces of evidence we've gathered regarding the defamation of Miss Jennings on
the forum.
“Upon investigation, the person who deliberately posted distorted facts, fabricated stories, and intentionally
tarnished Miss Jennings
reputation is a student here at Shoneport University. Her nis Abbie Cooper, a sophomore in the Traditional
Medicine Department.”
He continued, “Additionally, we found out that Abbie, along with two other students, Mia and Lydia, had a conflict
with Miss Jennings in the
girls’ dormitory yesterday.
“Ashton dealt with it yesterday, and the three of them promised not to disclose the relationship between Ashton
and Miss Jennings to the
public.”
As Brandon flipped through the photos one by one, not only did Marvin start sweating profusely, but Jewell’s face
turned pale. He finally
realized he had been used.
But that wasn’t all. There was more evidence on Brandon's phone.
He continued, “Furthermore, regarding the rumors about Miss Jennings that appeared on the forum this morning,
Marvin, | think you should
be able to recognize Ashton’s car, right?
“Take a look at this photo posted on the forum, which falsely claims that Miss Jennings was picked up by an older
man from society after school yesterday.”
Marvin leaned in and examined it closely. “This is Ashton’s car, no doubt.”
Marvin added, “And this one, showing the location of the villa where Ashton and Miss Jennings had dinner last
night and where Ashton asked Miss Jennings to help him with his health.
“This is the penthouse at Moonspring Estate, isn’t it? | remember Ashton bought this penthouse a few years
ago.”
Brandon nodded. “Yes, last night Ashton went back to his home. Also, take a look at this photo of the documents.
The owner of this villa, which is right next to the Wade family’s residence, is Miss Jennings.
“But last night, someone deliberately took separate photos of Ashton and Miss Jennings, blurred the concepts,
and confused people's perceptions. She even incited others to create various campus bullying rumors about Miss
Jennings.

“And guess who did this? It was that sstudent named Abbie!
A bead of sweat slid down Jewell’s forehead. This morning, he had been convinced by the very photo evidence
provided by a female pric Abbie. Now he realized he had been duped.
Brandon said, “Ashton cto Shoneport University again this morning because of the new rumors against Miss
Jennings on the schont forum. Initially, Ashton just wanted the school to resolve the issue quickly.
“But the situation escalated so fast that even teachers got involved. This has led Ashton to question whether the
faculty at shoneport University is truly up to the standards of the projects we the Wade Group have invested in.”
Brandon, who was usually quiet, exuded an intimidating presence when it cto business. After he finished
speaking, the entire office fell into an eerie silence. Everyone watched Ashton and Briar, waiting for Ashton’s
verdict.
“Briar, now that we've gotten to the bottom of this, Ill have the student council remove the posts right away and
severely warn and punish the person who posted them. Could you please talk ssense into Ashton?” Marvin
pleaded.
Briar flicked her hair back, revealing her delicate features. Her cold eyes were filled with languid indifference.
“Marvin, why should | persuade him? Besides, Ashton is a big shot in Shoneport. Why would he listen to me?”
“Moreover, Ashton’s account with you is settled, but my score hasn't been settled yet.” Briar's beautiful eyes
glinted with a hint of mischief “This is the first tin my life I've been bullied like this.”
