Sophia had a calm and indifferent expression after her speech. She stood on the stage, clad in a crop top, but she didn’t seem frivolous as one would expect. On the contrary, she looked free and unrestrained, which made her stand out among the many students present.

 

She wasn’t about to step down, nor was she affected by the rumors. Sophia merely observed the crowd below the stage whispering among each other. Her lips curled up into a slight smile, as if she was waiting for some drama to unfold.

She allowed everyone to continue with their discussion, giving them all the time they needed to gossip.

The voices in the auditorium were getting louder, and they sounded even more distasteful now. In the end, the vice chancellor slammed the table and commanded angrily, “Silence!”

The middle-aged man’s booming voice reverberated around the hall. Finally, the racket in the auditorium died down.

The vice chancellor regarded Sophia with a stern expression, and he demanded in a grave tone, “Sophia Edwards, what do you have to say for yourself?”

Sophia nodded toward the vice chancellor and tapped against the microphone to check on the sound system before answering him, “That girl is my previous classmate from high school, indeed. However, I disagree with her statement regarding my pregnancy and promiscuous life. It’s true I had a boyfriend in high school, but we have never tasted the forbidden fruit. I did not get pregnant, nor did I have a promiscuous lifestyle.”

Kayla had always hated Sophia. The Harper Family was a well-known family, and so they could never allow a commoner, such as Sophia, to join the noble Harper Family. I couldn’t face anyone within the socialite network when Sophia was with Richard. There were people constantly mocking me, and so I had been thinking of ways to ruin their relationship. I was this close to celebrating their breakup with fireworks. I definitely have to add insult to injury right now.

Kayla deliberately announced loudly, “Mr. Vice Chancellor, she has no grounds to argue about this matter. The entire school is aware of her promiscuous life. It’s not guaranteed that she wouldn’t bring her horrible habits from high school to Bayside University. Therefore, I suggest expelling her!”
