Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 78

Facing the termination of your status as a student and getting expelled from school was the harshest punishment a student could face.

This meant that Hayden's chance at a guaranteed admission was gone.

The entire classroom felt as if it had sunk into the ocean's depths, and the silence was heavy and suffocating.

"How could you do this!" James' face turned pale with anger, his expression twisting with rage.

"This is despicable! If you can't have it, you destroy it instead? Aren't you afraid of public outrage?" Serena shouted, her voice full of fury.

The couple couldn't believe that the school officials would go to such lengths for power and money. How could they destroy the future of a talented student who could become a valuable asset to the nation at such an early stage?

"You've gone too far!" James and Serena's faces were filled with indignation and helpless rage. This was pure bullying and exploitation of their power.

"Too far? You think this is too far?" Lily's voice pierced the air. "With everything Hayden has done, you think he deserves that spot?"
