"Oh, really?" Arabella's voice sounded clear and beautiful as she raised the USB flash drive in her
hand. "Since you didn't lay your hands on anyone, I'll call the police now. When the police officers
arrive, I'll hand over the USB flash drive, and everything will be revealed then."
With that, Arabella took out her phone, ready to make the call.
Jagger's psyche had already been worn down by the long ordeal and the defeat in the competition. He
couldn't withstand any more intimidation now; if this matter were reported to the police, it would tarnish
his life.
"Arabella, don't make the call!" Jagger quickly spoke up.
Arabella put away her phone and fixed her clear and piercing gaze on Jagger, her demeanor intense.
"Then you must apologize now!"
Apologize?
Jagger froze.
Arabella turned to Donavan beside her. "Donavan, I demand that they apologize to you now. If they
truly apologize, then this matter will come to an end."
"Bella," Clarissa immediately tugged at Arabella, whispering softly, "We can't let them off so easily.
They are malicious; they even broke Donavan's arm!"
Arabella's voice turned gentle. "Clarissa, we're classmates. There's no need to go to extremes."
"Alright!" Donavan nodded. "Bella, I'll follow your lead on everything. If they apologize to me, I won't
pursue it any further!"
Arabella looked at Jagger and the others. "Have you thought it through? You only have one chance; if
you miss it, there won't be another! Whoever laid hands on Donavan should take a step forward now
and offer a formal apology!"
Jagger and the others hesitated; they exchanged glances and started preparing to step forward.
At that moment, Liliana came forward and grabbed Jagger, shaking her head. "Jagger, don't listen to Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Arabella. If you step forward, it's the same as admitting guilt!"
Jagger quickly shook off Liliana's hand. "What else can we do? You can't save us anyway!"
"I..." Liliana faltered.
Jagger, as well as the other three classmates who were involved, stepped forward. They looked at
Donavan and bowed. "It was the four of us who blindfolded you and beat you up. I'm the one who
broke your right arm, Donavan. I'm sorry!"
They formally apologized.
Donavan snorted. "For Bella's sake, I'll let it go."
Jagger and the others lifted their heads. "Arabella, we have apologized. Can you return the USB flash
drive to us now?"
"Here." Arabella readily handed the USB flash drive to Jagger.
Jagger quickly threw the USB flash drive on the ground and stomped on it, destroying the evidence.
Arabella watched them coldly. "Let's go."
The people from Guerrio University followed Arabella and disappeared from sight.
Jagger breathed a sigh of relief, but then someone exclaimed, "Jagger, look, Mr. Hurley... Mr. Hurley is
here!"
Jagger's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked up. Soon, he saw Mr. Hurley's face turning pale
with anger, accompanied by Mr. Pannell.
Mr. Pannell snorted coldly. "Kramer, are these your students? You must give me an explanation for this
matter. Otherwise, we'll have a good discussion in the conference hall about the failure of your duties
as a vice president in educating such students. Hmph!"
Mr. Pannell left angrily.
Jagger's heart suddenly turned cold.
