Chapter 166 Scapegoat

Catherine was always a person of her word. With her assurance, George felt his confidence doubled instantly.

“It’s about the Student Union. The chairman of the Student Union, Nash Wale, voluntarily resigned from his position today, and Elena Leigh was dismissed from the Student Union.”

After speaking, George looked carefully at everyone and asked, “This is considered a big matter, isn’t it?”

The crowd nodded subconsciously. This news was indeed shocking to everyone. Many people eagerly anticipated Catherine being boycotted by the Student Union and humiliated by the capitalists.

As a result, the big shots of the Student Union ended up in trouble rather than Catherine. How could one not be shocked by this?

All eyes were fixed on Catherine, gazing at her as if she were a monster. “Who is this Catherine? How can she be so formidable?

“Nash is already considered a big shot. By comparison, Catherine must be the biggest big shot of them all,” said the students inwardly. Upon hearing this news, Ronin was also left somewhat shocked.

He looked at Catherine excitedly. ” Boss, is it really that simple? Nash even voluntarily resigned, and yet Elena Leigh was the only one punished. Isn’t the punishment too light? How about we put more pressure on those old guys and have them dispel the entire Student Union?”

“No need!” Catherine refused curtly.

“Since the Wales gave an explanation and I made a deal with Korbin, this matter should stop here,” thought she.

Sitting by the side, Bryan listened attentively and stared at Ronin intensely, wondering how confident this guy could be to brag so boldly.

“Is he out of his mind or what? “As everyone knew it, each member of the Student Union had a wealthy background. It was easy to take action against one of them, but taking all of them down at once could not be done with just words.

“Even if I requested the assistance of the Duncans, it would still be somewhat challenging. How is it that Ronin makes it sound so effortless?

“To achieve such effect, at least Uncle Branden should intervene. Does Uncle Branden know about this matter?”

Bryan wondered. He asked Catherine curiously, “Does Uncle Branden know about it?” Catherine looked at Bryan with a puzzled expression, unsure why he would ask such a question.

“Know about what?”

Upon hearing these words, Bryan immediately knew that his boss had probably not mentioned anything to his uncle.

“It’s nothing…” replied he.

“This is in line with the style of the boss. She’s so excellent that she can handle things alone without relying on anyone else,” said he inwardly.

No one noticed Liana sitting in the corner. Her face gradually turned pale. She never expected such a result. She thought Catherine was in trouble when Nash brought his father to the Swanns yesterday.

Even if she wouldn’t be punished severely or sent back to the countryside, she should at least be expelled from school and continue her studies elsewhere.

However, she never could have imagined that Nash and Elena would get into trouble in the end. The voluntary resignation of Nash at least demonstrated the involvement of the Wales. Even with the involvement of the Wales, the outcome of this situation was still like this, which confused Liana.

“Could it be that Branden helped Catherine, resulting in such an outcome?” she said inwardly. Liana fumed with frustration as she thought to herself. Even if she had racked her brain, this was the only conclusion she could reach.

Nevertheless, it was precisely this idea that made her even more angry. “Why should Catherine be able to catch the eye of Branden?

“What’s so special about her? “She’s just a disaster, a poor soul no one wants. What on earth makes her deserve such good treatment?

“I’m not going to take it lying down. I definitely won’t make it easy for her. I promise!” said Liana inwardly.

Liana left the classroom and went for Elena to replace out exactly what happened. Seeing Liana appear, Elena glared furiously at her, grabbing her arm tightly and shouting angrily, “Liana Swann, how dare you come to see me?

You caused me so much suffering. How dare you come to see me?”

Liana looked at Elena with a face full of grievance. Her complexion was pale, and she looked like a frightened rabbit.

“Elena, I know you’re feeling down. It’s my fault for not being able to share the burden with you. Let’s replace a quiet place and have a chat.”

Liana pretended to be pitiful while exchanging meaningful glances with Elena. Everyone around was constantly gossiping. They thought that Elena had gone crazy.

In their eyes, Liana was as fragile as a kite, as if a mere gust of wind could blow her away. However, Elena was just like a crazy woman tormenting Liana. She was so scary. Perhaps sensing the criticism from those around her, Elena decided to replace a place to clear things up with Liana.

She glared at Liana with a pale face and said fiercely, “Good. Let’s go to the rooftop. You must tell me everything clearly today!”

Liana nodded her head docilely. “Elena, as long as you can calm down, I am fine with anything!” As they watched Elena drag Liana away, everyone couldn’t help but feel concerned for Liana. “Poor Liana. She’s really going through a tough time,” thought they.

Liana followed Elena onto the rooftop, but with a swift motion, Elena pushed her in and then locked the rooftop door.

Elena had her back to Liana and didn’t notice the sly smirk that crossed Liana’s face at that moment. She only felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent and wanted to seek justice for herself.

Elena turned around, her face darkened as she looked at Liana. “Liana. There’s no one else here now, so you don’t have to pretend in front of me. It’s clearly you who did all the things, and it’s also you who squandered all the money from the Student Union. Why is it that I have to be punished in the end? Do you know that I got an academic warning?”

Nash proactively took responsibility. Under the involvement of the Wales, the school decided to give everyone a chance.

However, the main culprit must not be let off the hook. Clearly, Liana had been involved in the most corruption, but all of her accounts were under the name of Elena.

Under the protection of Nash, Liana did not receive any punishment. Instead, Elena endured all the blame.

Elena pointed at Liana with her finger, looking fiercely at Liana. “Liana, come with me to the principal’s office now and explain what happened. Otherwise, I…”

Liana looked at Elena with a condescending posture and asked coldly, “Otherwise, what will you do?”

“How dare she still act like this now?” thought Elena. She got furious and moved forward aggressively, ready to teach Liana a lesson.

But Liana was even quicker. She grabbed Elena’s wrist and slapped her across the face brutally.

“Slap!”

A fierce slap landed on Elena’s face, followed by a menacing glare.

“Elena

Leigh, I show you some respect not because I fear you. I advise you to be smart and face the reality. Do you want to snitch on me? Show me the evidence.

All that money was directly transferred into Elena’s account. Even the purchases were made using Elena’s card. Liana didn’t have any relationship with that money. It had nothing to do with her.

Finally, Elena was wise enough to understand Liana’s intention. But she refused to accept it. “If I’m in trouble, no one else should be happy. Liana can’t stay out of this,” said she inwardly.

“Liana! You despicable bitch…”
