When Avery began to check the surveillance, she worried. What if she was seen by someone when she was planting the nail?
She didn't sleep well the entire night. Katie finally thought of a way, which was to use her father's connections to get Serena out of the school. This way, Avery would stop his investigation. Tegan saw how hard his daughter had worked, but in the end, she was still unable to surpass Serena.
He felt both pain in his heart and dislike for Serena, so he agreed to Katie's request.
As long as Serena was gotten rid of, Katie would be the best student there was. In the future, she wouldn't have to work so hard till the middle of the night every day.
Hearing the voice from the radio, Katie was so scared that she trembled. She had never done anything bad ever since she was a child.
"I, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
"You really don't look very well. You wanna take a rest?"
"Yeah." Katie's heart was in a state of panic. Everyone on the sports ground was discussing who was the one who had put the nail.
At this moment, the phone rang. When Katie saw that it was her father who had called, she quickly walked to the side to pick it up.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Katie, bad news. Serena's parents are not janitors or dishes-cleansing workers at all. You can't even imagine how respectful the principal is when with him."
"Her parents are furious right now about her foot. You'd better find a place to hide right now."
"Dad, didn't you hear what the man said? If I don't go within ten minutes, our family will be implicated!"
At this moment, Katie was flustered and constantly twisting her fingers. Her heart was filled with regret. Why did she have to do these things?
"There is no camera in the locker room. They can't find evidence. Who will know it's you? If you go to him now, you'd be walking right into a trap." Tegan said decisively.
Tegan knew the Xiao family was not to be messed with, so the wise choice now was to walk away.
"No, Avery has already ruled out many people and I'm going to be the next one. Dad, there's no place to hide..." "Katie, don't do stupid things. Don't come over." Tegan cherished his daughter the most. What if something went wrong?
"Katie, Avery is asking you to come over." A classmate next to her came over.
Katie knew that she was finished. From yesterday till today, there were many people around her who had been called to be questioned.
She was too bad a liar and too timid to remain calm.
Katie hung up the phone. "Okay, I'll be right there."
Since she was going to be made anyway, Katie decided to go to the radio room. If the Xiao family was really a hard nut to crack, she had no other choice than admitting her mistake.
In the radio room, Adam said with apparent fury on his face, "Three minutes left."
Tracey looked at Serena with a concerned look, "Serena, I know that you have been reasonable since you were a child. Both your dad and I respect your every choice.
Even when you came to Sakura High School to study, I let you. I knew you would take good care of yourself, but now you couldn't take good care of yourself.
After this, you must transfer to another school, and I and your dad will be responsible for whatever choice you have to make in the future."
"Mommy! Don't."
Tracey had rarely spoken to her in such a serious tone ever since she was a child.
"Serena, during these years, your mommy and I have been very respectful to your decision. But you did get yourself in harm's way this time."
"Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, it's all my fault. I failed to protect Serena. The blame is all on me."
