Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 624

Fine. Since you refuse to admit your mistakes, I'll just have to report this to the university administration."

Vanessa crossed her arms and shot a look at Jillian. "Call the academic advisor and the dean's office."

Jillian stole a nervous glance at Instructor Vance, her heart hammering against her ribs, but she pulled out her phone to dial the number.

"Scoffed. Apologize? You ungrateful brats orchestrate a malicious setup to frame me, and you expect me to apologize to you?

You're barely adults, yet you've perfected the art of ruining lives.

You may come from wealthy families, attend an Ivy-League-tier school, and possess brilliant minds, but you have absolutely zero morals. You're a stain on society."

Did they think an apology would just make this go away? What a joke. If he apologized, it would be an admission of guilt.

He wouldn't just face public condemnation; the military would tear his career apart. And if he went home in disgrace, his father would beat him half to death.

Mira casually removed the micro memory card from the hidden camera inside her brooch.

Having survived countless assassination attempts and betrayals in Melvion City, she always carried surveillance gear. She refused to let any situation involving her spiral out of control.

She paused for a moment, then decided to take the footage with her.

She wanted to help Instructor Vance, but she had no intention of exposing her habit of wearing hidden cameras. Some secrets were better kept in the dark.

If the academic advisor and the dean arrived now, the situation would just dissolve into a frustrating stalemate.

It would be a classic case of he-said, she-said with zero evidence on either side.

The whole ordeal might not cause immediate physical harm to the instructor, but the humiliation was devastating.

Sure enough, when Mira logged onto the Aethelgard Social Forum that night, the scandal was the only thing anyone was talking about.

Because it involved a fellow student, and because Vanessa was part of Luna's powerful social circle, the vast majority of the student body sided with the girls and ruthlessly condemned the instructor.

"Whoa, is this really what happened? Did we all get played?"

"Was the instructor actually framed by Serena?"

"But why? Why would Serena frame him when he literally caught her from falling?"

"Could this video be deepfaked? What if someone doctored it?"

"No way. I don't know about Serena, but I know Vanessa's character. She would never take a baseless side. The video has to be fake."

Did the person who posted that comment actually know Vanessa's true nature? Clearly, wealthy girls never lacked devoted sycophants.

Mira realized she had still slightly underestimated the sheer influence Luna and Vanessa commanded over the student body.

Unfazed, Mira anonymously uploaded the crystal-clear audio file from her covert recording pen.
