No Escape from Love novel Chapter 51

Julian reluctantly stepped forward as well. "Hello, Mr. Hastings."

Alex straightened his suit and looked at Mr. Augustine. "Mr. Augustine, hello. I'm here to handle Serena's withdrawal from the university as her guardian."

Mr. Augustine was incredibly flustered when he heard that. "Withdrawal? What? No, no, there's no need for that. It's just a small misunderstanding. How could it come to that?"

"But when I entered just now, I clearly heard this man mention expulsion," Alex narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Herbs.

Mr. Herbs was startled and quickly scrambled as he said, "No, no, Mr. Hastings, you must have misheard. This whole thing is just a misunderstanding."

Mr. Augustine and Mr. Herbs exchanged a glance. After a moment, Mr. Augustine walked forward with a smile. "This really isn't a big deal. The university's intention is to just clear up the misunderstandings."

He then added, "If it's really necessary, we can call the police too! As the leaders of the university, we're just concerned about protecting Ms. Ashford's future. It's just that Mr. Blake confidently insisted that the situation was exactly as it appeared online. We were just momentarily fooled by him."

When Julian heard that the two of them were planning on pinning all the blame on him, there was no way he could just stay silent.

The Blakes were already struggling under Alex's pressuring of their businesses. If he offended Alex further…

Julian stepped forward. "Mr. Hastings, the situation isn't as the principal described."

I had been completely alone just now. Yet I was now looking at those three who had been so united earlier trying to push the blame onto each other. It was a chilling sight.

"Mr. Herbs insisted on not reporting the matter to the police and having my sister figure out a way to clear her own name. So, I had no choice but to gather the evidence myself," Alex said as he pulled out his phone.

Mr. Herbs wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously. "I was only worried that Ms. Ashford's reputation would be ruined if the police got involved and the news spread further."
