Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 598

Chapter 598 Apology

Betrayers were the most despised. Sophie's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of theother classmates

“So, according to what you have said, we should be like a robot that only knows how to study andnothing else?”

“That's right. Shouldn't he be more fair and just if it's for the benefit of the entire class? Elisecouldn't have caused such a commotion on her own, and everyone was involved. It's either all of usor none of us get punished. No one should be excluded!”

“How can that be?” Sophia refuted angrily. “I'm not like the rest of you, who acted as if you've neverseen an artist before. What exactly is the big deal? She merely knows how to produce one or twosongs and get close to men in front of the cameras to attract attention. Standing by someone likeher is beneath my dignity!”

As soon as she finished her words, everyone's expression went through a subtle change.

Seeing this, Elise shook her head contemptuously and smiled.

Sophia indeed impressed her by getting into this Elite Class, proving that she had exceptionallogical thinking skills when it came to physics. However, she lacked emotional intelligence. The wordshe just said was aimed at Elise, but she had unintentionally offended the entire class.

She thought she was superior to everyone else, but in fact, she had become everyone's commonenemy.

But she was still immersed in her own thoughts, convinced that she was unique and untainted bythe people around her.

“First and foremost, I thank you for not wanting to be close with me,” Elise said graciously."However, I don't think that requesting an apology from someone who has done me wrong andholding him accountable for his actions are overboard. You said I was unreasonable, Sophie, butwhat are you doing now?”

“That's right.” Sheldon continued in a hostile tone, “What're you doing with such a fallaciousargument? Aren't you also being unreasonable? Furthermore, Elise has reason on her side. Yourargument is nothing but sophistry!”

"Y-You two!” Sophie was so mad that she had no idea how to respond

At this moment, an articulated hand stretched into the classroom and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

The knock on the door interrupted the debate in the classroom, and everyone looked toward thesource of the sound. They saw Kenneth standing by the door dressed in a full suit, a hat in hishands. He was smiling, but those who knew him would be able to tell that it wasn't a genuine smile."Excuse me, everyone. Please give me a few minutes.” With a faint smile on his face, he turned toface Martin and said, “Mr. Kamp, please come out for a moment. I need to speak with you privatelyabout something.”

After finishing his sentence, he turned and walked to the corridor, where he waited for Martin.Martin, on the other hand, noticed Kenneth’s curving lips dropping the moment he turned. Thatcaused Martin to start having chills.

With his teeth clenched, he raised his legs and walked out nervously.

Kenneth stood in the corridor while leaning against the railings, his head slightly tilted up. Lookingat him from afar was like admiring the tranquility of the rising sun.

Martin approached him and came to a halt half a meter in front of him. Casually, he asked, "Mr.Bailey, what do you want?”

Hearing his voice, Kenneth turned around, lowered his head while smirking, and slowly removed hiswhite gloves.

Then, out of the blue, he gave Martin a hard slap.

Martin was unable to react. He could only feel numbness on his face and a bloody taste in hismouth.

He raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth and brought it before his eyes. Indeed, hismouth was bleeding.

"Kenneth Bailey!” Martin was enraged. “You're assaulting me! Believe it or not, I'll sue you!"However, Kenneth couldn't care less about what Martin said. “What? You can't even stand this? Didyou feel like you were humiliated?”

His voice turned colder as he continued, “The force I used to slap you earlier wasn't even a tenth ofwhat you used to slap Elise. What's there for you to be upset about?”

“Nonsense! When did I slap Elise before?” Martin disputed.

"You should be thankful that you didn't do so.” Kenneth's eyes were tinged with malice. “If you didlay your hands on her, I wouldn't just slap you. As the homeroom teacher, you humiliated a femalestudent in front of everyone with your vicious words. Do you know that the loss of reputation anddignity is far more serious than any physical injury for a lady?”

“I merely gave you a slap and you wanted to sue me. That being the case, the hurt you inflicted onElise should be paid for with your life. She was kind enough to merely demand an apology, but yousaid she was unreasonable. Who is the one being unreasonable here?”

"Of course, if you don't think that you're wrong, I too, need not be guilty about slapping you justnow.”

"So, Mr. Kamp, do you want to hear me apologize, followed by your apology to her after you go in,or do you prefer to admit your lack in morality, which makes you unfit to lead the Elite Class, andthus fired by the school?”

Martin was rendered speechless, but he unconsciously clenched his fists that were hanging by hisside.

It was no surprise that Kenneth was a successful businessman. He could talk so well that Martin feltdizzy from all he said.

Then again, Martin himself was a big shot in the academic field. What rights did Kenneth have toteach him how to educate his students?

In the end, he was only doing all of these for Elise.

It was unfortunate that the culture in this country was such that the wealthy could do whatever theywanted. A wise leader could submit or stand tall. Thus, he would give in to Kenneth this time.

After today, he would request the principal to set up a prohibition and to lock the entrance of thebuilding to prevent outsiders from entering during class.

He wanted to know how Kenneth could stand up for Elise then!

“Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Bailey. I know what to do now,” Martin swallowed his anger andsaid.

Hearing that, Kenneth heaved a long breath and said nonchalantly, “I was too desperate earlier thatI used my authority. Please do not take it to heart, Mr. Kamp. If there's nothing else, you may returnto the class.”

Martin grinded his teeth harshly and cursed Kenneth for the umpteeth time in his heart before heturned around angrily and stormed back into the classroom.

His fists were clenched and his expression was awful. The entire class fell silent as he entered."Everyone take a seat.” He tried to keep his rage under control and his tone of voice calm. He thentook a deep breath before turning to face Elise, summoned his courage, and said, “I'm sorry, Elise. Iapologize for my inappropriate words earlier. Please forgive me.”

“I accept your apology,” Elise said, not wanting to drag out the issue any longer. She sat down rightafter that.

Martin was furious looking at her indifferent expression, but at the same time, he was also afraidthat he might lose his temper when Kenneth was still around. Thus, he immediately looked away."Okay, let's get down to business.” Composing himself, he continued calmly, “The Nationwide HighSchool Know-All Competition is approaching. The principal ordered that Elite Class form a group toparticipate in it, for the glory of the school. Who would like to be the representative?”

“Mr. Martin, I would like to be the representative!”

Sophie would, of course, not let go of an opportunity to be in the limelight.
