Chapter 103 Explanation
Karlen and Grace stared at each other. In about half an hour, Grace’s mother arrived.
Hellen swept her gaze over them. Mrs. Horton was about forty years old and dressed in exquisite clothes.
“My daughter has suffered so much!” Mrs. Horton looked at the wounds on Grace’s face and held her daughter. Her sharp gaze was directed straight at Hellen and Karlen.
When Grace saw her mother, she put on an aggrieved expression and burst into tears. “Mom, it’s that Karlen! She only spoke a few words to me before she hit me!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You scolded my sister first, and you pointed your finger at my nose!” Karlen burst into anger.
Hellen holds her tightly.
Mrs. Horton sized her up from head to toe before a trace of disdain appeared in her eyes.
Hellen had come in a hurry today and only wore casual clothes.
Although Karlen was the First Miss of the Thomas Family, she was lively and had seen a lot of jewelry since childhood. She was not interested in that kind of thing, so she was also wearing sportswear.
Mrs. Horton’s attitude turned a little harsher. She pointed at Karlen and said, “Our Grace has never hit anyone before. How dare you hurt her! A stubborn and mischievous student like you must be expelled!”
Karlen was so angry that she stared, but Hellen grabbed her.
When the director of the inner room heard the commotion outside, he pushed open the door and walked out.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
When he saw Mrs. Horton, the director’s stern expression smiled like a flower. “Mrs. Horton, thanks for taking some time out of your busy schedule to come over. There’s nothing we can do about it. This matter can only be settled with the presence of parents from both sides.”
Mrs. Horton raised an eyebrow and looked at Hellen and Karlen from the corner of her eyes. She harrumphed. “Reconciled? Director, don’t tell me you haven’t seen the wound on my daughter’s face!”
The director smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s up to you to decide whether to reconcile or not, but you have to follow the procedure.”
Hellen looked at her coldly. She didn’t know what the director had said to Mrs. Horton, but when Mrs. Horton looked at Taylor on the bench behind her, a trace of panic flashed across her face.
However, Mrs. Horton quickly regained her composure.
She looked at the director and raised her voice slightly. “I just heard Grace say that it was that girl named Karlen who did it. It has nothing to do with Miss Grant, so we won’t look into her responsibility.”
Taylor’s face was cold. Just as she was about to get up, a thought flashed across her mind and she sat back down.
At a time like this, wasn’t it the best time for a hero to save a beauty in distress?
Taylor took out her phone quietly, switched on the video quietly, and aimed it at Mrs. Horton.
Hellen knew that the other party did not dare to offend the Grant family, so he wanted to push all the blame on Karlen.
Hellen sneered and looked at the director. “Director, since both sides’ parents are here, then let’s see who’s in the wrong.”
“What do you mean, whose fault is it? My daughter has been beaten like this. How shameless you are to say that! Look at you two sisters. You are poor and vicious, and I can tell that you are not good people.”
Mrs. Horton crossed her arms in front of her chest with a look of disgust on her face. “You are so nasty. Why didn’t your parents come? Could it be that you’re orphans?”
Karlen clenched her fists, and her heroic face was covered with gloom. “Sister!”
Hellen ignored Mrs. Horton. Her small face was devoid of warmth and her eyes were as dark as ink. “Since we’re preparing for the school celebration, I remember that there are surveillance cameras behind the scenes. Why don’t we take them out and see who provoked us first?”
As soon as Hellen finished speaking, Grace nervously grabbed Mrs. Horton’s hand and shook her head quietly.
Mrs. Horton narrowed her eyes and immediately understood. “It doesn’t matter who caused this trouble. It’s wrong to make the first move! The facts are already clear. That naughty Karlen injured both my daughter and her friend!”
Grace covered her injured face and glared venomously at Karlen. “I wonder if she was a cowherd when she was young. She’s so strong, rough, and savage. This kind of person doesn’t deserve to study at Tempe University at all. She’s lowered its level!”
Hellen looked at her coldly. “What? Does Mrs. Horton dare to check the surveillance cameras? What are you feeling guilty about? Didn’t you and your daughter want to expel my sister? Even if you want to fire her, you have to have evidence to do so publicly!”
Mrs. Horton was so angry that she pointed a finger at Hellen’s face.
Hellen raised her hand, slapping it aside with a ‘whap’ sound.
Karlen was excited. “Sis, that was what Grace and I were like back then! She came to scratch me after I finished slapping!”
Hellen was speechless by Karlen’s exciting appearance. “Be honest.”
Karlen obediently sat down and said, “Ok.”
The school head and Mrs. Horton looked at each other. Mrs. Horton’s expression was tense as she said, “Director, our family has done many things for Tempe University. You can’t repay kindness with ingratitude and just ignore the person who hurt my daughter, can you? She’s also a student of your school!”
The director had a complicated expression on his face. Since Karlen’s sister requested to see the surveillance video, this request could not be more reasonable.
He couldn’t find a reason to refuse at the moment!
Mrs. Horton cast a sidelong glance at Hellen and continued to put pressure on the director. “My husband still has plans to build a new library for the University. However, if we don’t expel someone like Karlen, wouldn’t my investment be equivalent to giving to the person who hit my daughter? Our family isn’t so easily bullied!”
A new library?
The director’s eyes flashed slightly. “I’ll send someone to get the surveillance footage.”
The director called someone over. Hellen sat there, frowning.
Back when she was still a student at Tempe University, she had learned a lot about the director since he had taken a lot of money out of the investment in the university.
They couldn’t be so easy to deal with this time.
Hellen pulled Karlen back to the bench, took out the phone, and switched to the system.
The mobile phone was connected directly to the computer and the server in her home. Hellen soon operated the computer from a distance. After invading Tempe University’s network, he copied the monitoring records bit by bit on his computer.
Karlen watched the whole process calmly from the side.
She knew her cousin was an expert hacker and had a well-known identity!
On one side, Taylor was in a daze as she watched. She only saw a string of codes jumping back and forth. After that, a video appeared on Hellen’s phone. Looking at the interface of the video, it still looked like an auditorium.
Miraculous!
Tiffany, who had been standing silently by the side of the chair, glanced at Hellen’s phone and her eyebrows jumped!
“What the hell is going on? How can a daughter of a rich family be so capable now?”
About ten minutes later, the person sent by the director to check the surveillance video came back. “Director, the surveillance camera in the auditorium is broken.”
“Ah, how could it be broken?” The director frowned and looked troubled. “What should we do?”
The man said, “We’ve been preparing for the centennial school anniversary recently. When the students were hanging the colorful ribbons, the camera was accidentally broken by the long ladder, and we haven’t had time to fix it yet.”
Hellen sat at the side, with a cold gaze on her face.
Mrs. Horton shot a smug look at her. “Director, the cameras are broken now, but the wounds on my daughter’s face are real. Karlen hit so many girls, so you have to give us an explanation!”
