Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 217

Cordelia paused for a second before turning to see Everard casually standing up. "I'm done with this class too," he declared, making his way towards the exit.

Cordelia was baffled.

Why stick around if the very reason for her staying, the kids, were being sent away? There was an odd appeal, though, in the thought of joining them in their stand, almost like a quirky adventure.

Everard had his punishment for Lucille all mapped out in his head, but he didn't want to make a scene. Hence, his silence.

Well, Lucille can consider himself jobless come tomorrow.

With that thought, Everard strolled leisurely to Cordelia, ready to make a grand exit alongside the kids when another voice rang out—

"I'm done too."

Keen stood up and followed suit.

Everard was puzzled.

"I don't deserve to be here for Lucille's class either."

Hanley rose, not heading out, but clearly making a statement.

"Me too!"

Daisy suddenly stood, guilt-ridden from a morning incident involving borrowing a pen from Cordelia which Lucille had blown way out of proportion.

Seeing others stand up for what's right, she couldn't lag behind.

"Me too!" Following Daisy, Cordelia's other two roommates stood. They were a tight-knit group, especially after Cordelia's help with their homework the night before. It was only right to show some solidarity.

"Then, me too!"

Sean, a bit timidly, raised his hand and stood. With Keen by his side showing support, how could he not?

Lucille's actions were clearly out of line!

More and more students stood up.

The classroom was in a silent uproar. About a third of the class, nearly seventy out of two hundred plus students, were on their feet. How could the class go on?
