Chapter 57 Did Mr. Fletcher Register
Ruby looked at Penny scornfully with a kind of vicious satisfaction upon her face.
Penny found it absurd.
"A student of our school slandered me, but Ms. Bender, as the director, Ms. Bender is going to kick me out without investigation. Is this the way things are done at this university? There are a lot of investors here today. Ms. Bender, can you afford to take the blame?"
Fiona blanched.
There were indeed a lot of investors among the people watching the exhibition, and it would affect the university's reputation if this got out of hand.
But Ruby raised her chin unforgivingly. "The investors are all sensible and should know that this is not the school's fault. The school is supposed to uphold justice and set an example for students. Now that you stole my bracelet, punishing you will only reinforce our belief in the school's principles. Don't try to intimidate us with the investors. Ms. Bender, I think we can kick her out now."
Ruby was not at all frightened. After all, the Bender family wasn't exactly a powerful family. Moreover, the Bender family was going to collaborate with the Foster family. All in all, Fiona should butter Ruby for the sake of the Bender family.
A shade of sarcasm crossed Fiona's eyes. Fiona was not afraid of Penny threatening her with that video. After all, Fiona had a video of Penny being groped by a man. Fiona and Penny were sort of holding each other back.
Besides, it was not Fiona who was causing Penny trouble, but the lady from the Foster family, Ruby.
After Ruby finished speaking, she looked at Clark.
"Clark, as you can see, she's sticky-fingered. You have to be a little careful. Who knows if she gets close to you because of your money?"
Ruby didn't politely address Clark as Mr. Mckay, but called Clark by his first name. It was obvious that Ruby and Clark were well acquainted with each other.
Clark thought it was time for him to talk Ruby out of it, so as to win Penny over. However, Chace suddenly showed up and walked toward them at this point.
Chace was over fifty and shrewd. He frowned when he saw the crowd here and noticed that the Foster family was involved.
"What's wrong? Fiona, what are you doing standing here? Isn't there an honored guest who wants you to lead the way?"
Chace was rushing out to greet his honored guest and just passed through.
Chace looked at Ruby. "Ruby, what happened?"
