Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 619

Chapter 619 Mr. Kamp, What Do You Think?

Sophie was the first to react. “What nonsense are you spouting off? Mr. Kamp and I are speaking up for what is right and to protect the reputation of the university. Can you say the same for yourself?!”

“I concur.” Sheldon couldn’t keep it in any longer as he stood up in anger. “How could Elise be used as a comparison for someone like Sophie?”

“Sheldon Keller, what are you trying to imply here?” Sophie turned her attention toward Sheldon. “No one would mistake you as a mute if you don’t speak up!”

“I apologize but I’m not mute. I’m just an ordinary and mediocre student that is speaking up for what is right for the reputation of the school.”

With a flippant attitude, Sheldon continued, “You said that Elise being involved in a school brawl will negatively impact our university’s reputation. If she was not in the wrong, do you think that all speculation and slander on your part brings a positive impact to the school instead?!”

“There should be no need to see who is more noble here, for we are all students of the Elite Class. Since the principal had already agreed to your request, then Elise’s condition should be met as well!”

“That’s right! It must be fair and just!” Elliot stood up as a sign of support.

Though Mica was pondering for some time, she—with her face swollen red—still stood up with weak knees in the end, as she could no longer sit idle on the matter. “Prin… Principal, I think what Sheldon and Elliot said is correct. You should treat everyone equally.”

Leon was always of the mind to support Elise, and so he waved his hand to appease the ones before him. “Please take a seat first.”

With the principal’s words, the ones who stood sat back down.

However, only Sophie refused to comply and continued to stand tall and haughtily, as though she was anticipating for Elise to make a fool out of herself.

“Miss Bowen, you’ve asked me to consider the interest of the students, yet now you’re trying to become the exception to what you’ve just preached?” Leon reminded, as though he was taking a jab at her.

Sophie was about to argue with the principal, but stopped after noticing Martin signaling her to stay calm by shaking his head at her. It was only then that Sophie chose to take a seat.

Among those with good grades, it was inevitable there would be some who would be of an arrogant nature. The principal thought that Sophie was one who lacked empathy but did not think much about it.

Leon then turned his attention to Elise and said in a gentle voice, “Miss Elise, you do not have to worry. I have already discussed the matter with Mr. Kamp. Should the investigation reveal that you were innocent in this, Mr. Kamp will resign from his position as the Elite Class’ homeroom teacher as his atonement to you. What do you think?”

Martin had a startled expression mixed with an expression that showed bitterness he was holding in.

Originally, this was an agreement made between Martin and the principal personally. Hence, even if Elise were proven innocent in the matter, there would still be room to argue for Martin to keep his place.

Yet the action of the principal revealing that agreement to the whole class was akin to forcing Martin to a corner with nowhere left to run. Should Elise be proven innocent in all this, then he would have no other option but to resign as agreed.

However, an agreement is just an agreement. Where else could Tissote University find someone as young and talented as me as a homeroom teacher? Even Mr. Haas would not go as far as to dismiss someone the university has paid a great sum to hire for a mere student’s sake.

Martin felt relieved as he went through these thoughts.

After listening to the principal revealing the agreement made with Martin, Elise took a glance at Martin. To her, it was a good idea to push Martin out of his position as the homeroom teacher as there would be no one left to pick fault with her, and Sophie would lose one of her supporters.

“Alright. I hope both the principal and Mr. Kamp would honor what was agreed,” Elise answered.

“Only if you can show proof,” Martin retorted nonchalantly.

Elise only rolled her eyes at him as her response before turning to face the class. “Did anyone bring their computer here, and is willing to lend it to me?”

“Right now we’re asking you to show your evidence. Why are you asking for a computer right now? Don’t tell me you’re just stalling for time since you don’t want to leave?” Sophie questioned her.

“Your family lives by the sea, right? That explains why you’re so salty right now.” Sheldon was furious.

“You—! Hmph!” Though anger rose in her, Sophie managed to turn her cheek the other way.

“I have a computer with me.” Stefan—one of the students who would be participating in the competition as well—spoke up and gave the computer to Elise. “It’s not password protected and it’s already connected to my phone’s hotspot, so you’ll be able to use the internet as well.”
