Chapter 345

A surprise inspection? Why on earth would the school suddenly have an inspection? Suddenly, Jenny realized something and immediately turned to Freya.

โ€œItโ€™s youโ€ฆ You did this on purpose!โ€ Jenny continued to create a scene, disregarding the setting. Upon witnessing this, her father, Beasley, lost his patience and slapped her.

What kind of setting was this for such an outburst? How did Jenny dare to cause such a commotion? Though a significant figure on the schoolโ€™s board, Beasley was a minor director who had bought his way in. Jennyโ€™s exaggerated claims before the schoolโ€™s leadership had embarrassed him.

โ€œDad!โ€

โ€œGet out! Just get out of here!โ€ Beasley exploded at Jenny. โ€œIf you donโ€™t want to study, just go home! Who do you think you are, throwing your weight around like this? Have you forgotten everything Iโ€™ve taught you?โ€ His frustration with Jenny was clear for all to see.

But Jenny, too worked up to care, believed Freya had set her up.

โ€œDad! Itโ€™s all Freyaโ€™s doing! Sheโ€™s framing me!โ€ Jenny was frantic.

However, nobody present believed her. Beasley was beside himself with anger. โ€œFreya was merely leading us on a class inspection. What setup? Canโ€™t you even lie properly?โ€

People might have believed Jenny when Freya was engaged to Kieran. But now that the engagement was off, how could Freya orchestrate an inspection?

โ€œDad, itโ€™s her. She dug up dirt on me online deliberately! Iโ€™m not lying!โ€ Jenny was desperate, but the other leaders were becoming impatient.

The head leader glanced at his watch and addressed Beasley. โ€œWeโ€™ve wasted five minutes, Beasley. We have other matters to attend to. Maybe you should take your daughter home.โ€

โ€œSirโ€ฆโ€

Before Beasley could respond, the leaders had moved past Jenny and him. The principal glared at Jenny, clearly frustrated with her indiscretion. It was unthinkable for a college student like Jenny to speak so boldly in such a setting!

As they were leaving, Freya gave Jenny a meaningful look, as if mocking her foolishness.

โ€œYou, you!โ€ Beasley was too angry to speak. He wished he could slap some sense into Jenny. As a minor director, he finally had a chance to showcase himself before the schoolโ€™s leadership, but Jenny had ruined it. Pointing at Jenny, he struggled to find words and finally shouted, โ€œGo home now! And donโ€™t you step outside until I say so!โ€

โ€œDad!โ€

โ€œGo!โ€ Beasley was barely holding it together; in any other situation, he might have reacted even more severely. Despite her rage, Jenny had no choice but to storm off.

By the classroom door, the principal was still inquiring about Freyaโ€™s cheek, worried about explaining any mishap to Kieran.

โ€œMs. Dawson, your face.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s just a slap. Itโ€™s nothing.โ€
