Sadie was stunned.


    She turned around and managed a smile.


    “Cathleen just said that Bryson went to the principal’s office.


    I wanted to check on that myself.


    ”


    Victoria, who had been watchful, rxed.


    She scoffed and said, “It’s pointless even if they do see the principal.


    The news is all over the forum.


    Even if she tries to donate more buildings, it won’t make a difference.


    ” She was sure of her scheme and unconcerned about Bryson’s possible actions.


    “Yes, everyone on the forum fully believes you,” Sadie quickly agreed.


    “Even if she tries to exin, nobody will listen!”


    But Cathleen was clever.


    She expressed her concerns anxiously, “I heard Bryson from the Mitchell Group holds a significant position in Valmere’s business circle.


    We should be cautious about provoking him.


    ”


    “There’s nothing to worry about!” Sadie reassured her, almost ingratiatingly.


    “Victoria’s family tops the entertainment industry!”


    Cathleen frowned, not convinced by Sadie’s reassurances.


    She had been trying to sway Victoria.


    Victoria, however, was already buoyed by the praises of her friends.


    “Cathleen, don’t fret.


    If anything happens, I’m here.


    ”


    Just then, a teacher entered the ssroom, cutting their conversation short.


    “You can go back first.


    We’ll talk more after ss,” Victoria suggested, giving Cathleen a wink.


    Meanwhile, the principal, who was in the office, saw Bryson and his entourage and grew nervous.


    “Mr.


    Mitchell, what brings you here?”


    Bryson walked over to the sofa and sat down.


    Hiswyer followed, handing the principal a stack of documents and screenshots from the forum.


    “Well…” The principal was sweating after seeing the screenshots from the forum, discovering the identity of the poster and the real names of students who had left harshments.From N?velDrama.Org.


    He had heard rumors about Hannah through school channels recently, but he hadn’t delved into the details.


    He had dismissed it as minor, a decision he now regretted.


    Several of the students involved had influential families, cing him in a tight spot.


    He realized toote that he should have been more proactive about monitoring the forum to prevent the situation from escting.


    Now, he was caught off guard.


    Lost in thought, the principal was jolted back to reality when Bryson spoke.


    “Call the police directly.


    The evidence is solid, and we’ve identified the culprits.


    Your school needn’t be involved in handling this.


    ”


    “No!” the principal responded hastily.


    “Mr.


    Mitchell! Could we possibly resolve this internally? These were just student pranks! Escting this to the police would reflect poorly on the school.


    ”


    His aim wasn’t to shield the students but to pacify Bryson and safeguard the school’s reputation.


    However, Bryson was adamant.


    “As you’re aware, this issue arose from the school’s forum, which receives a lot of traffic.


    The school ignored it.


    If my memory is correct, a simr incident urred before, and it was not resolved internally.


    Now, the same issue has resurfaced, and thousands have seen and spread these rumors.


    Yet, you suggest we shouldn’t involve the police.


    ”


    Bryson’s firm stance left the principal perspiring more profusely.


    He struggled to find the words to convince Bryson.
