Chapter 617 It’s a Crime!
Once she had finished practicing for the entire afternoon and had dinner, Elise returned to the Elite Class for an evening test. Sophie had always tried the hardest for anything related to grades, but she was the last one to return that night.
“Mr. Kamp,” Sophie shouted from the door.
“Miss Bowen, you’re late.” Martin didn’t allow the people he valued to slack off.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to, but I had to deal with some things. Sir, if you’re free, I have something to explain to you in private,” Sophie said.
Although Martin was unhappy, he was still partial to Sophie. “Let’s go outside and talk.”
The two walked out of the classroom together and only stopped at the end of the hallway.
“Okay, Miss Bowen.” Martin was growing a little impatient. “Just say what you want to say. There isn’t anyone else here.”
Sophie did not directly indicate her purpose, but asked tactfully, “Mr. Kamp, I remember that when you read out the class rules, there was one that said students who start arguments and cause trouble can’t stay in the Elite Class, right?”
“Of course.” Martin nodded. “Why are you asking me this?”
It was only then did Sophie take out her cell phone from her pocket and hand it to him. “Mr. Kamp, this is a big deal, so I think you need to judge for yourself whether this counts as causing trouble.”
After a pause, Martin took her phone. A video was playing on the screen, showing a girl leading more than a hundred men in suits and surrounding a dozen people who were kneeling on the ground before she abruptly broke one of their legs. From the demeanor of those who were kneeling, it was not difficult to see how terrified they were of this girl.
In the last few seconds of the video, the camera focused on the girl’s face, and Martin could see very clearly that the girl was not just anyone else, but Elise! Although she was wearing a cap, her facial features, which were as exquisite as a work of art, were too easy to distinguish.
Sophie keenly captured the disgust in Martin’s eyes, and took the chance to say, “Mr. Kamp, to be honest, the one who got his leg broken is the son of a relative of mine. They knew that Elise was my classmate and looked for me, which is why I was late. I’m a student, so I don’t know what to do, and I can only ask for your help.”
Martin’s ears were red with anger. Among all the students he had taught, most of them were talented and intelligent, but there had never been one who had bullied others and caused trouble. Just by herself, Elise had done all these things. It was one thing to bully others, but breaking someone’s leg was assault! This wasn’t just a violation of class rules—it was a crime!
Martin almost fainted from anger, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little gleeful. This way, even Leon couldn’t protect Elise anymore.
After he gathered his thoughts, he put the phone in his pocket and said with a calm expression, “You can go ahead and take your tests. Don’t speak up. I’ll hold onto your phone for you first. I can’t be the master of this matter, so I’m going to see the principal now. After I come back, I’ll let you know.”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you, sir!” Sophie nodded obediently. She wouldn’t say anything even if she could. If someone was willing to speak up, the blame wouldn’t fall on her.
Elise must’ve thought that if the surveillance footage was erased, no one would know what she had done. Fortunately, Sophie had a wide range of contacts and found a hacker who restored the footage. If she wasn’t guilty, why would she bother to delete the footage? What’s done by night appears by day. This time, I’ll have these words etched into your mind, Elise Sinclair!
Deep in her thoughts, Sophie walked back and returned to her seat. However, she couldn’t help but look back and gave a sympathetic look at Elise. Elise, oh, Elise, enjoy your last day in the Elite Class!
When Elise glanced at her out of the corner of her eyes, she knew that this woman was up to something again. She shook her head. One day, I’ll bring Sophie to ruins.
In the principal’s office, Leon was playing chess on the computer. Just as he reached a critical moment, a series of hurried knocks suddenly came on the door.
