“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.
