Chapter 304

Janice gave a nod. “Guess I’ll head back then.”

Lemifa proceeded to the office alone. Upon entering, she found the dean and the supervisor already there.

The dean’s tone was far from welcoming. “Lemira, you reported Jackson. We’d like to know if it’s because of some lovers’ spat gone wrong, leading him to break into your dorm.”

“Even if we had issues, it doesn’t justify Jackson bribing the dorm keeper to sneak into a student’s room, not to mention his attempt at sexual assault. And it’s not his first time doing something like this! You should be focusing on these crimes, instead of trying to paint it as a petty lovers’ quarrel!”

The dean raised his voice. “Mind your tone, Lemira! We’re just asking!”

But Lemira stood her ground firmly, armed with ample evidence and no intention to back down.

At that moment, Alaric barged into the office. “The one who needs to watch the tone is you! Lemira’s done nothing wrong. What gives you the right to mislead her and twist the narrative?”

Lemira turned to see Alaric, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion, thinking, “Why’s he here?”

She coldly told Alaric, “Please leave the office.”

The dean pointed at Alaric. “This is not a place for outsiders. Please leave. This is the office; not anyone is allowed to enter.”

Alaric slammed on the desk. “I’m Lemira’s brother, her family. Why shouldn’t I be here?”

Family? The dean was taken aback by his words. “I thought Lemira was an orphan.”

The supervisor interjected. “Sir, I’ve told you before, she’s not an orphan.”

The dean was out of the loop during the last scandal on campus, which left him and the principal quite embarrassed.

“Who said Lemira’s an orphan? Sure, our parents passed away early, but she still has brothers!”

The supervisor muttered, “But you weren’t the one who came last time.”

“That was Lucian. We’re seven siblings!”

The dean’s attitude softened considerably. “Mr. Langston, we’re currently investigating the matter.”

Alaric, visibly angry, said to the supervisor, “After what happened in the girls’ dorm, the school owes us an explanation. If Lemira hadn’t been smart, last night could have ended horribly. Is this how you ensure student safety?”

The dean was left speechless, eventually offering a cautious apology. “It’s true the school has been negligent. Lemira is a victim here. We’ll clear this up, and you’re free to go, Lemira.”

“Not enough. We demand accountability!”

Lemira grew impatient. “What are you thinking, Alaric, showing up here claiming to be my family? I have nothing to do with the Langston family!”

She turned to the dean. “I have all the evidence. If the school tries to cover for Jackson, I’ll sue!”

The dean wiped away the sweat on his forehead. “When did we say we’d cover for Jackson? We were just trying to figure this thing out. You’re misunderstanding!”

Dealing with Lemira was no easy task. There was no other way they could think of.

Having got the outcome she desired, she left the office.

Alaric followed, cautiously saying, “Lucian sent me to back you up after hearing about it. He’s too ashamed to face you.”

“Even without you, I would’ve been fine! Your help was unnecessary. Don’t bother linking me with your family again!”

Lemira’s tone was resolute.

“Lemira, you really think you could’ve handled this alone?” Lemira saw Asher and Evelina approaching from the staircase, her scorn deepening.

Asher, his face stern and smelling of booze, warned, “That Jackson is backed by the Sinclairs! Do you realize the mess you’ve gotten into?”

Ah, they were here to settle scores.
