Chapter 346

โ€œJenny is way out of line! She had the nerve to throw a punch in front of the school board. Donโ€™t worry, Iโ€™ve got your back,โ€ the principal assured Freya.

Freya nodded and said, โ€œI believe it was never your intention before, and about me getting expelledโ€ฆโ€

โ€œExpelled? What are you talking about?โ€ The principal quickly played dumb. โ€œThereโ€™s never been any expulsion here. Iโ€™ll get in touch with Director Sampson now. Our grades might not be the best, but thatโ€™s no reason to believe rumors and expel students. Our school would never do such a thing!โ€

Listening to the principalโ€™s bold words, Freya couldnโ€™t help but snort inwardly. Since when did Director Sampson have that much power? Sampson wouldnโ€™t wish to see any student expelled if it werenโ€™t for the principalโ€™s orders.

But knowing and saying are two different things, so Freya played along. โ€œAs long as my name gets cleared, thatโ€™s all that matters. Thank you, Principal.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t mention it! Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m here for. Just remember this, Ms. Dawson. Youโ€™ve got to buckle down for the exams. This yearโ€™s test is going to be a tough cookie.โ€

The principal didnโ€™t want to see the schoolโ€™s graduation rate suffer, but to keep Kieran happy, he had no choice but to let Freya sit the graduation exam. He just crossed his fingers that she wouldnโ€™t do too badly.

Meanwhile, in the Sutton Group office, Jarrett furrowed his brow and asked, โ€œAll the posts have been wiped clean? Who did this?โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not sure. Whoever it was, this person acted fast and efficiently. In less than a minute, all the posts were gone, and somehow, it even backfired, exposing dirt on the original posters.โ€

With such efficiency, it had to be a large corporation. The assistant was puzzled, too. They had crafted a PR piece to clear Freyaโ€™s name, yet someone else was ahead of them.

โ€œJarrett, could it be someone helping Ms. Dawson?โ€

โ€œJust spit it out. Who do you think is behind it?โ€ Jarrett disliked beating around the bush.

The assistant looked troubled, uncertain whether to speak up. But it was well known among them that Freya was juggling relationships with Kieran and had close ties with Ronan and Preston. Maybe it was Ronan or Preston who stepped in.

Telling from the assistantโ€™s hesitant look, Jarrett guessed what he was implying and coldly said, โ€œIf you want to keep your job, cut the pointless chatter!โ€

โ€œYes, Secretary Jarrett.โ€

โ€œDismissed.โ€

โ€œYes.โ€ The assistant left quickly.

Jarrett then entered Kieranโ€™s office.

โ€œIs everything taken care of?โ€ Kieran asked.

โ€œMr. Sutton, the PR was ready to roll out, but someone got ahead of us. Someone has taken down the videos of Ms. Dawson getting into a fight and proven that she got framed,โ€ Jarrett reported.

Kieran furrowed his brows. โ€œWho?โ€

โ€œWe havenโ€™t found out yet.โ€ Jarrett lowered his head.

Kieranโ€™s demeanor instantly turned icy. โ€œIf you havenโ€™t found out, keep looking until you do! Do I need to teach you how to do your job?โ€

Kieranโ€™s tone was icy. โ€œWhat do I pay you for?โ€

โ€œYes, Mr. Sutton.โ€ Jarrett couldnโ€™t help but ask, โ€œSo, do we continue the PR campaign to clear Ms. Dawsonโ€™s name?โ€
