Catherine's admission was direct, and not only Isabella but even Beatrice herself
was stunned.
Once Beatrice realized what had happened, she felt secretly delighted. She had
thought that Catherine was a powerful figure, but it turned out Catherine was just
a paper tiger.
If it were Beatrice, she would never say it out loud. In this world, everyone likes to
sympathize with the weak. Telling the truth wasn’t necessarily a good thing to do.
Beatrice sniffled and held Isabella’s hand, knowing that Isabella would definitely
help her. “Bella, I studied so hard to get into Styre University. If I'm forced to drop
out, my life will be ruined!”
Isabella understood what Beatrice meant and sympathized with her plight. She
knew how difficult it was to get into Styre University. During Isabella's three years
of high school, she didn’t even take a single weekend off, all for the sake of
successfully getting into Styre University.
Earlier, Isabella was afraid of falsely accusing Catherine, not daring to speak up.
But now that Catherine had admitted it herself, she naturally had to stand up for
Beatrice.
To avoid conflict, Isabella tried to maintain a friendly attitude toward Catherine.
“Catherine, we're classmates and roommates. That's fate. I know Beatrice was in
the wrong, but expulsion is a bit too severe. How about we find a different form of
punishment, like having Beatrice sincerely apologize to you?”
Catherine glanced at Isabella. Even though Catherine hadn't done anything,
Isabella felt an immense sense of shame. Isabella silently lowered her head, not
daring to meet Catherine's eyes. Then, she discreetly tugged on Amelia's arm,
hoping Amelia would speak up.
Amelia had a better relationship with Catherine than Isabella did, so maybe
Catherine would listen to her.
Although Amelia also thought that Catherine’s demands were a bit excessive, her
principle had always been “Do not advise others on what they haven't
experienced themselves.” She remained silent and chose to be a bystander, not
getting involved.
Sensing Amelia's indifferent attitude, Isabella had no choice but to continue
persuading Catherine.
“Catherine, we're classmates after all.
If you're not satisfied with an apology, you can make other requests.”
Isabella, on the surface, was known for her kindness, but to put it bluntly, she
couldn't distinguish right from wrong. She tended to believe whatever people
said, but deep down, she wasn’t a bad person.
“Isabella, did Beatrice tell you why her parents came to school today?”
Isabella was taken aback and looked at Catherine in surprise. “You mean
Beatrice’s parents came to school?”
“Humph.” Catherine sneered. “It seems that Beatrice has been keeping a lot from
you. Her parents came to school today not only to demand a public apology from
me but also to persuade the director to expel me.”
If it weren't for Catherine having a more powerful background, she would be the
one facing expulsion today, not Beatrice.
Isabella was shocked. Beatrice indeed hadn't mentioned this to her. Beatrice only
said that Catherine's apology wasn't sincere and that she had brought this matter
to the attention of the president. She also mentioned that Catherine had a
capable boyfriend who forced her to drop out and made her parents beg for
mercy.
However, Beatrice didn’t mention that she had asked her parents to come to
school first to teach Catherine a lesson and force Catherine to drop out.
Amelia, upon hearing what Catherine said, secretly felt relieved that she hadn't
interfered. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed now.
Facing Beatrice’s hypocritical behavior, Amelia couldn't help but comment in a
sarcastic tone, “I thought she was so pitiful, but it turns out she’s only pitiful
because her background isn't powerful enough! The first thing she did after
making a mistake was ask her parents for help. How childish! And the most
embarrassing part is that her parents are not powerful enough, so she ended up
begging for mercy!”
Although Amelia didn’t mention any names, there were only four people in the
room. Who else could she be referring to?
Beatrice couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up abruptly, glaring at Amelia and
scolding her loudly.
“Amelia, what the hell is wrong with you? Why do you have to slander me like
this? I didn’t offend you. Why are you mocking me?”
“Hmph!” Amelia coldly snorted in disdain. “Then why did you ask me for help?
Just a moment ago, you sat there crying, begging us to intercede with Catherine
on your behalf. I didn’t expect that you were the real culprit!”
Beatrice, despite her arrogance, was left speechless. Amelia's retorts made her
face turn red. She decided not to argue with Amelia. Instead, she focused her
gaze on Catherine.
“Catherine, how do you plan to resolve this matter? State your conditions, and I
will agree to them. But you have to guarantee that I won't be expelled, and that
my grandfather won't find out about this.”
Catherine sat there, her eyes slightly raised, calmly assessing Beatrice. She
couldn’t understand what was wrong with Beatrice. How could Beatrice be so
foolish?
At this point, Beatrice still maintained her arrogant attitude, indicating that she
hadn't learned her lesson yet. Catherine couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
“You're not even worthy of negotiating with me.”

Seeing that Catherine didn’t fall for her tactics and even ignored her, Beatrice
became desperate and started crying again.
“Catherine, why are you so heartless? What can make you satisfied? My death?”
Catherine opened the window, revealing her beautiful face, her gaze calmly fixed
on Beatrice.
“If you want to kill yourself, go somewhere else. Don't disturb our sleep.”
She spoke in the calmest tone, uttering the harshest words.
Someone like Beatrice would never actually commit suicide. At most, she would
use it as a means to threaten others and achieve her goals.
