The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1099

"I shouldn't have been so arrogant and spread those rumors."

"Please, for the sake of us both being medical students, forgive me this once."

Levi had completely caved.

Just moments ago, he had been acting like an untouchable tough guy.

Claire blinked, mildly amused.

"Have you genuinely realized your mistake, Levi? Or are you just terrified of being thrown in a holding cell?"

She pinned him with a mocking, half-smiling gaze.

Lillian was utterly dumbfounded.

What on earth had Levi done to make the medical faculty's golden child want to send him to jail?

If his actions were bad enough to warrant police involvement, a plate of food to the head seemed like a light punishment.

"What exactly did you do?" Lillian demanded furiously.

Levi felt incredibly wronged.

He had just been talking trash. How did that give Claire the right to launch a full-scale inquisition?

He had only wanted to teach her a lesson in respecting her seniors. He never expected it to spectacularly backfire and blow up in his face.

He desperately wanted to scream that Claire was just being petty.

But with the counselors present, he didn't dare utter a word of defiance.

Levi opened his mouth, struggling to defend himself.

But he couldn't formulate a single coherent excuse.

Lillian shoved his shoulder hard. "You always have plenty to say when you're busy chasing girls!"

"Why are you suddenly playing mute now?"

She looked at her student with pure, unfiltered disgust.

Gritting his teeth, Levi threw caution to the wind. "I'm sorry, Ms. Vance. I messed up. I shouldn't have spread false rumors about her."

Forcing himself to recount the entire pathetic ordeal was deeply humiliating.

But he had no choice but to lay it all out.

He knew if he withheld any details, Lillian would literally kick him out of the university.

Her fiery reputation was legendary across campus for a reason.

"That's it?" Lillian felt like she was arbitrating a playground squabble.

Claire immediately pushed back. "You think destroying someone's reputation isn't a serious matter?"
