On the other side, in the classroom.
A student ran into the classroom and shouted at Rachel while panting, “Ms. Wallace, Connor might have already been expelled!”
When Rachel heard this, she suddenly looked at the student and asked with widened eyes, “How did you know?”
“I saw Mr. Waag from the archives department walk into the principal’s office with a file in his hand!” the student replied.
“It’s over. Connor might have been expelled!” Rachel muttered in despair.
As a lecturer at Porthampton University, Rachel naturally knew what the archives office was for.
There were only two possibilities if someone took out the files. The first was that a lecturer had resigned, and the second was that a student had transferred to another school or had been expelled.
“No, I have to go to the chancellor!” Rachel muttered softly, then turned around and ran toward the principal’s office.
Eunice hesitated for a moment before following Rachel out.
When Brandon, Mandy, and the others heard the news of Connor being expelled, their faces suddenly bloomed with smiles. They had already begun to discuss where they should go to celebrate tonight.
Meanwhile, Dominic and Spencer were in despair. They never thought that Connor would really be expelled just like that.
***
Porthampton University, in the chancellor’s office.
Jesse and Dylan kneeled before Connor and begged him to give them a chance.
Connor had been thinking about how to punish them.
After all, if they were expelled, it would not be easy to find a suitable chancellor in a short time.
However, if he didn’t fire the two, he would be letting down the girls in the school who they had defiled because these two people were not qualified to be educators at all.
Therefore, Connor hesitated for a moment.
“Click clack, click clack!”
At this moment, the sound of high heels could be heard from outside the office.
After Connor heard this sound, he could not help but be stunned momentarily.
“Knock, knock!”
Then, there was a knock on the door.
“Mr. Zachman, are you there?” Rachel asked in a somewhat hurried tone.
“Why is Ms. Wallace here?”
After Connor heard Rachel’s voice, a trace of shock appeared in his heart. Then, he realized that Rachel might have come to plead for him.
At this moment, Connor did not want to expose his true identity, so after hesitating, he whispered to Jesse, “Get up. When Ms. Wallace comes in later, don’t tell her my identity. Do you understand what 1 mean?”
“Unde… Understood!” Jesse quickly nodded and stood up to sit down.
Connor stood in front of Jesse with his head lowered. He looked like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
Dylan and Thomas sat on the sofa at the side.
“Who is it?” Jesse calmed himself down and called out expressionlessly.
“Mr. Zachman, it’s Ms. Wallace!” Rachel hurriedly said.
“Ms. Wallace, please come in!” Jesse said calmly.
After Rachel heard Jesse’s permission, she quickly pushed open the door and walked into the office.
When Rachel saw the file on Jesse’s desk, she was even more certain that Jesse was about to get rid of Connor.
“Mr. Zachman, I don’t think Connor is a thief. I’ve known Connor for so long, so 1 don’t think he’s such a person!” Rachel looked at Jesse and said.
“That’s right, Mr. Zachman. I lost the money, but 1 no longer want to pursue this. Can you not expel Connor?” Eunice added.
Even then, Rachel and Eunice were still pleading for him. Connor was very touched. He even wanted to lay his cards on the table with the two of them.
However, Connor was worried that Rachel and Eunice would think he had lied to them, so he suppressed his urge.
“Ms. Wallace, you don’t have to worry about whether Connor is a thief. We are still investigating. After we have investigated this, I will inform you immediately!” Jesse said to Rachel without smiling.
“But Mr. Zachman…”
“Ms. Wallace, don’t you trust me? If you can prove Connor is not a thief, I can let him go now. But if you can’t, then go back and wait!”
Jesse had been thinking about whether Connor wanted to fire him, so he didn’t want to dilly-dally with Rachel.
After Rachel saw Jesse’s attitude, she dared not say anything more. She turned to Connor and said, “Connor, you must cooperate with Mr. Zachman’s investigation, understand?”
“Yes, Ms. Wallace!” Connor replied in a low voice.
“Eunice, let’s go!” Rachel sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked out of the office.
Eunice hesitated for a moment before leaving with Rachel. At this moment, the two of them hoped that Jesse could prove Connor’s innocence.
After Rachel and Eunice leave, Jesse hurriedly stood up and said to Connor,
“Mr. McDonald, please take a seat. Did I do well just now?”
Connor sat on Jesse’s chair and said softly, “Jesse, do you still want to continue being the chancellor?”
“Yes, Mr. McDonald. I beg you to give me another chance!” Jesse said anxiously.
Connor was planning to get rid of Jesse just now, but the appearance of Rachel and Eunice made Connor realize that if he fired Jesse now, it would arouse the suspicion of others. Moreover, the enmity between him, Brandon, and Harvey had not yet settled. He still needed Jesse and Dylan to continue helping him play the game.
Therefore, Connor changed his mind and said, “Alright, i won’t fire you under two conditions!”
“Please name them, Mr. McDonald. I’ll agree to ten conditions!” Jesse said enthusiastically.
“The first condition is that you can’t tell anyone that I’m the president of the board of directors of Porthampton University. If anyone finds out, I’ll fire you immediately!” Connor said slowly.
” Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. Only a few of us know about this. I won’t tell anyone else!”
Although Jesse didn’t know why Connor wanted to do this, he still readily agreed.
“The second condition is that you and Dylan have to write down all the bad things you and Dylan have done in school and stamp your fingerprints. You have to promise that you won’t do such things again. Otherwise, not only will I fire you, but I will also hand these things over to the police and let them deal with you!”
Connor knew Jesse had done many bad things in the past few years. He was worried that Jesse would do it again, so he needed something to control Jesse and Dylan.
“Uhm…” Jesse’s eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment.
“Otherwise, I’ll fire you now!” Connor said slowly.
“Alright, alright. I will!” Jesse said anxiously and continued, “Don’t worry, Mr. McDonald. I’ll give you these documents tomorrow!”
“Good!” Connor nodded lightly, then turned around and said to Dylan, “Call Harvey over now!”
“Alright, 1’11 do that now!” Dylan quickly agreed, then turned around and walked out of the office..
