All the teachers and students were standing in the field, they would gather only if there was any activity to be held.
This was the first time to gather all the teachers and students, just because of a student doing a ‘mistake’.
Although Jasmine had a strong heart, she still couldn’t calm down seeing that there were so many students giving cold-eyed stares at her. She couldn’t help clenching her fists, the paper in her hand became wrinkled followed by her action.
The teacher turned and looked at her, sighing, “You must have offended someone, if not this issue wouldn’t be raised again since a long time had passed already.”
Jasmine couldn’t think of anyone that she had offended, who wanted to frame her, she couldn’t think of anyone but Elisa who had put obstacles for her in the public.
Thinking carefully now, it seemed like Elisa didn’t have the power to do so. Only the principal could make this decision, she still didn’t have the ability.
‘Then who else wanted to frame me?’
She couldn’t think of anyone.
“I can’t help you too.” The teacher had no choice, “Please go in front.”
Jasmine knew that since there was someone who wanted to frame her, the teacher would have no choice too.
She couldn’t help trembling, she was aggrieved, but she understood that her studies might be hindered if she didn’t do so. She couldn’t stop her studies, this was the only platform for her to stand out, she must graduate normally.
Even though she had so much aggrievement in her, she should keep it.
She walked to the front, there were already some murmurs coming from the students. Last time everyone in the school had known her, although it had passed but they already had impressions on her, and this time she had become totally famous in the school.
Definitely it wasn’t the good reputation, it was the bad reputation which showed negative example.
There was a teacher saying, “You may start.”
The students became quiet automatically, waiting for her self-criticism.
Jasmine looked at their sneering or curious eyes, she felt so down. She hadn’t done anything which breached the morality, but she was going to apologize for something fictitious in front of all the teachers and students.
She was extremely depressed.
She repeated breathing, she could only lift the report that she had written after repeating for many times. There were cold sweats all over her palm, her face was pale, she said the word with slightly quivering voice in front of the microphone, “Self-critique.”
“…Dear teachers… Students, I have written a self-critique with regret today, to admit that I’ve realized my fault on my misconduct at the school gate last time, and to express my determination that I will never commit this again…”
The quiver in her voice became more and more obvious, her voice had almost become hoarse when reading to the end.
“So, I think that I must, and I should write this self-critique for the teachers, to let me reflect deeply on my fault…”
“What’s going on?” The police who came together with Boyce Shawn were a bit confused.
‘Can a university insult someone in this way?’
She was saying in front of all the teachers and students.
One of the colleagues continued, “This student is so brave.”
There were some fluctuations in Boyce’s eyes, he lowered his voice and told the person beside him, “Bring them there.”
He would come today because of the matter related to Jasmine’s mother, but actually he didn’t have to come, there would be people coming to inform the family members. He would come because he knew that it was the matter related to Jasmine’s mother, and since they knew each other, but he didn’t think of this…
He looked up at the skinny girl standing at the front, she was wearing a simple ponytail and lowering her eyes. Although her face expression couldn’t be seen clearly, but it could be seen from her standing pose that she was a strong girl, she was still standing straight even under this situation.
The police officers beside him went in front to talk with the teachers, normally they only needed to call and notify the family members if the prisoner was having any trouble inside.
However for this time, the prisoner had passed away inside the prison, so they should give the family members an account.
