Henry did not like the air of arrogance this man carried. “Wow, how impressive of you.”
Henry said ambiguously before he mocked, “You must think you’re so powerful since you’re this university’s bullsh*t Academic Affairs office’s chief, huh?”
The Academic Affairs office was indeed an authoritative department, one that held the fate of all the students with the university.
As the department head, Denton was used to people being respectful toward him, and he had never been scolded like this before.
He was enraged by Henry’s words, and he stared at the man while saying, “I am this university’s Academic Affairs office’s chief. I have the right to deal with problem students as I see fit.”
“So, will you outsiders get out? Either get out yourself, or I’ll have security throw you out. Guards!”
The few security guards did not dare go against Denton’s instruction, so they immediately surrounded the three from all angles.
Henry narrowed his eyes. He was already very irritated and he badly wanted to beat someone up to vent his frustration.
Tiffany was nervous as well, and she tugged Jasper’s sleeve while whispering, ‘It’s okay, Jasper. I don’t want to cause you two any more trouble. I… I’ll just admit it and apologize.”
“What’s there to admit and apologize for if you didn’t do anything wrong?” Jasper asked calmly.
Then, he turned to look at Denton.
“Mr. May, as chief of the Academic Affairs office, I have to ask is this how you carry out your job? Instead of trying to investigate what really happened, your first course of action is to chase people away.”
Denton’s expression darkened slightly at Jasper’s words.
He did not care about unreasonable people like Henry, since all he had to do was have security throw him out and end the matter at that.
However, Jasper’s words put him in a tight spot.
