Chapter 1306 Upon seeing Sylvia, Charles, who was pinned to the ground by Cliff, gasped for air and cried for help,
“Sylvia, help me! I‘m innocent. All I did was graze her skin when she was the one who forced herself on me. I didn‘t
do anything else to her!”
He looked at Sylvia like she was his salvation.
Sylvia sighed and approached them. She turned to Cliff and asked sharply, “Alright, tell me, what the hell happened
here?”
She made sure to clarify her relationship with Charles as well. “Cliff, he‘s my colleague. Please let him go.”
Cliff turned to look at Odell. Odell had an imperceptible look on his face as usual but it did not seem like he was
opposed to Cliff letting the man go, and so he did. Charles immediately picked himself up from the ground and
immediately began narrating a long–winded tale to Sylvia, “I was just passing by this other ballroom on the way to
the toilet when I saw that lady over there. I thought she looked a lot like you and was very beautiful. I admit that I
couldn‘t resist the urge to steal a few more looks. Eventually, she noticed me and began approaching me. She
began flirting with me, asking me what my name was, where I worked, and casual questions along those
lines.
“So, I thought she was interested in me and naturally continued chatting with her. At one point, it looked like she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad tripped somehow and was going to fall on top of me. As much as I‘m interested in her, I know that it would be a
bad look if I touched her too much so all I did was grab her arm to prevent her from falling. And that‘s when she
began screaming for help. She also ruffled her hair herself for some reason... But I... All I did was touch her arm,
and that was just to save her from falling!”
Charles was visibly agitated as he spoke with such rapidity and was completely distraught that such an unbelievable
misunderstanding would ever happen to him.
Sylvia frowned.
Odell, who was nearby, frowned as well. He had a dark look on his face. More than anything, he was bothered by
how Charles had mentioned how he took an interest in Shermaine because he thought she resembled Sylvia.
Everyone fell silent for several seconds. That was when Shermaine came out from behind Odell with a furious and
aggrieved look on her face. She jabbed a finger in Charle‘s face and accused him further, “How dare you turn the
story around on me? Yes, I did smile at you when I saw you looking at me but I was only being polite. I never meant
to flirt. It was you who suddenly grabbed onto me when I passed by you on the way to the toilet, and you were
forcing kisses on me! If I didn‘t cry out for help,
who knows what you‘d have done to me!”
She was filled with emotions and quickly burst into tears. The men surrounding her, all decked out in suits and
shining leather shoes cast her sympathetic looks and took pity on her.
Someone in the crowd spoke up, “I‘m on her side. I believe that if I were in her shoes, I‘d never have tried to
approach this man as well.”
“Me too. You can tell at first glance that he‘s a perverted teacher. Not only that, but he‘s also a master manipulator!
Credit where it‘s due, he‘s a master at his craft!”
Many people began to turn to Charles and judge him in accusatory tones.
Charles‘ eyes burned with anger. His usual jovial charms were nowhere to be seen as his face wrenched with anger
and disappointment at this injustice he was facing. “You people are slandering me! I‘m not trying to manipulate
anyone here. Every word I said is the truth!”
Everyone merely laughed at his feeble attempt to defend himself. It was clear that none of them believed him and
thought of him as nothing more than a jester and a pervert.
Charles could not stomach such utter humiliation. “You...
You bunch of fools!” He turned to Shermaine and hissed sharply. “And you, you‘re a vicious and disgusting woman.
You‘re only getting away with it because of your appearance!” It seemed like he was going to charge at
Shermaine.
Sylvia quickly grabbed him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChristopher and several teachers nearby rushed toward him and grabbed him as well.
Meanwhile , Shermaine ducked behind Odell again and shrieked , “Master Carter, help me! Everything I said is true.
I wouldn‘t accuse him for no reason!” Odell frowned. He glared sharply at Charles and more so at Sylvia who had
her arms wrapped around Charles‘ arms.
Sylvia was doing her best to calm Charles. “Charles, calm down. We believe in you.”
Charles seemed to feel vindicated upon hearing that Sylvia believed in his innocence.
He looked at Sylvia with tears swelling in his eyes. “You... Do you truly believe me?” Sylvia nodded and affirmed him.
“Yes.”
The other teachers from the art academy echoed the same sentiment and supported him as well. “As if we don‘t
know what kind of person you are? Of course, we
won‘t simply believe everything she says.”
Christopher chimed in. “Yes, so calm down, control

yourself.”
Charles wiped away his tears and seemed to have calmed down.
Sylvia released him and turned to look at Odell.
He was staring at her with a dark and solemn look in his eyes. It seemed like he was on Shermaine‘s side.
