Denton could be considered an experienced man, seeing as how he had been working for more than half his life. He could tell that Mr. Clem was not the most important character here. At most, the man had arrived to deal with the issue.
The true main character was Jasper.
Denton’s lips quivered when he looked at Jasper.
Mr. Clem was the dean of Hoofmorn University’s secretary. While he did not hold a high administrative position, half a rank higher than Denton at most, the man’s identity was special.
Dorian would not be the dean’s secretary if he was not also the dean’s confidant.
If Jasper refused to let today’s incident go, then Dorian would surely report the matter to the dean.
If that were to happen, a mere chief of the Academic Affairs office would surely be crushed.
Denton felt lightheaded at the thought.
“You… you must be Mr. Laine, right? Mr. Laine, there’s got to be a misunderstanding here.”
Sorrowful, Denton begged Jasper for mercy, “I admit that my attitude was bad just now, but I just wanted to deal with the issue as quickly as possible.”
“How about this, Mr. Laine. I’m sorry, I really am. Please forgive me as I’ll make sure to look back on my actions and learn from my mistake.
“I’ll also deal with the issue regarding Miss Mia and Mr. Cassian strictly!”
In the face of grave danger, Denton did not think too much as he sold his nephew and the boy’s girlfriend out in hopes of placating Jasper’s anger.
“What’s the meaning of this, Uncle Denton?!” Cassian shouted, his complexion pale.
“Shut up!”
Denton glared at Cassian harshly and roared, “I wouldn’t have been dragged into this if you didn’t act so bossy because of your relationship with me. No more calling me your uncle, you little brat! I don’t have a nephew like you!”
Cassian’s pupils contracted in disbelief at what his uncle said.
At that moment, all he could do was his anger and resentment on Mia.
“You b*tch! This is all your fault! I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this if not for you!”
Mia paled when Cassian roared at her.
Despite her ability to scheme and be a snob, she was just an ordinary university student and she had never experienced such an aggressive scolding before.
She did not dare to say anything after Cassian shouted a that, and all she could do was tremble in place.
“That is enough.”
Jasper said calmly. He turned to Dorian and continued, “Mr. Clem, whether today’s incident is due to the university’s lack of regulations or because someone is trying to slander the school is the university’s internal affairs.
“I’m sure that the university has an extensive set of rules to deal with these issues, so an outsider like me will refrain from interfering too much.”
Dorian let out a deep exhale when he heard Jasper’s words.
It seemed that at the moment, Jasper had no desire to further press the issue.
Dorian would be put in a difficult place if Jasper did. “Alright, then, Mr. Laine. I’ll make sure to give you a satisfactory reply,” Dorian replied seriously.
“Whether I’m satisfied or not doesn’t matter. The students’ satisfaction comes first.”
Jasper replied meaningfully.
Dorian’s gaze sharpened on Denton and he said grimly, “Mr. Denton May, I suggest you make preparations to explain yourself to the university board!”
After that, he turned to Mia, Stan, and the rest and said fiercely, “The university is a sacred place for learning. It is not a place for you people to conspire and be immoral!”
