“While Hoofmorn University doesn’t require every single one of its students to be geniuses or to become formidable figures in society, we require that our graduates be upright members of society at the very least!”
“The four of you will be monitored, and this incident will appear in your report cards as a demerit. Stan and Cassian, this is your senior year, yes? If you still want your graduation certificates, then I suggest both of you self-reflect and think about what you did wrong!” Dorian’s words had Mia and the other three completely shocked.
Especially Stan and Cassian, who had never expected this incident to affect their graduation.
In the current era, a university graduate, especially one from Hoofmorn University, was a huge boost to someone’s identity.
It could be said that if one was a graduate of Hoofmorn University, then getting an office job was already a given. People around them would also look at them with envy and admiration.
Demerits like these would follow them their entire lives and could never be erased.
Mia’s complexion paled and she turned to look at Dorian frantically. Then, she turned to Jasper, and finally rushed toward Tiffany before falling to her knees with a thud.
“I’m sorry, Tiff. It’s all my fault, I’m a sorry excuse for a human being. I shouldn’t have bullied you!”
Mia wept and slapped herself as she spoke.
“I admit that I was envious of your branded clothing. I just wanted to pick on you-you didn’t do anything wrong at all. I was just blowing up every minor issue. “You didn’t steal my makeup, I intentionally framed you.”
“I’m sorry! I’m a horrible person!
“I can’t have a demerit on my record or be monitored. My life will be over! My family will treat me like a disgrace if they found out, so please! Help me beg for mercy! Forgive me just this once!”
“I won’t do it ever again. So please!”
Mia’s begging was heartbreaking and Tiffany looked conflicted.
Mia looked pitiful as she continued to beg. Tiffany glanced at Jasper, but she did not know how to start.
“What’re you thinking about, silly girl? Now’s not the time for such nonsense.” Henry glanced at Tiffany. He had a feeling that if he didn’t nudge her in the right direction now, then this silly girl would become soft-hearted and excuse her. Hence, Henry spoke up before things got ugly.
Tiffany was stunned for a bit before she looked at Jasper. Seeing the crescent-eyed smile on the latter’s face, she immediately understood.
Tiffany was a smart girl, she just lacked the experience when it came to dealing with various situations. She was at lost on what to do, but she certainly was not stupid.
For example, now that Henry had reminded her, she immediately understood the situation. As Jasper had said, this was an issue classified under the university’s internal affairs and he was in no place to interfere.
Meaning that this incident would be handed over to Dorian, who would deal with the issues as per the university’s regulations. If she conceded and asked Jasper to spare them, she would be casting Jasper under the spotlight and into a difficult position.
‘Then what is he supposed to do?’
‘Jasper will be taking back his words if he agreed, thus completely going against his principles.’
‘But if he does not agree, me asking on Mia’s behalf would put him in a dilemma.’
After arriving at this thought, Tiffany immediately stepped back and distanced herself from Mia.
Mia was in despair when it happened.
“Alright. It’s time for us to leave, now,” Jasper said calmly.
“I’ll make a formal statement later,” Dorian said.
Jasper nodded, then he pulled up Tiffany and told Henry that they were leaving.
“Jasper, Erin’s my only friend here. Can I bring her with me?” Tiffany asked softly.
Jasper paused for a moment before he glanced at a shocked Erin a short distance away. Jasper immediately smiled and replied, “Of course. Bring your friend along then.”
