Upon hearing Arielle's name, Marcus' face instantly hardened. “It's her again?”
Donovan nodded with nonchalance. “Yes. I've told you time and again not to let anyone get into my class through connections.”
Yet, Marcus furrowed his brows. He clearly did not believe Donovan.
After shaking his head, he explained, “Mr. Baxter, you made a mistake about Kelsea's incident that day, and the school lost a laboratory building because of that. I didn't even ask you for compensation. Why are you giving Arielle trouble again? Also, you were supposed to apologize to her on the stage during the freshman party. But since Mr. Parker was there, I canceled the session. However, it doesn't mean that you don't need to apologize to her. This issue has not come to an end yet. Mr. Baxter, why are you making things difficult for her again? Do you have a problem with her?”
Donovan's face fell upon hearing that.
Initially, he thought that Arielle had framed Kelsea, but later he learned that Kelsea was putting on her own show. Due to the incident, his reputation among the students was ruined.
Donovan's jaw tightened before he said, “I was oblivious about Kelsea's incident. I'm a victim as well, so you can't blame that on me. Moreover, I'm certain that Arielle is making up an excuse now. Although she was innocent in the previous incident, it doesn't mean she's also right this time.”
“But-” Marcus was in a dilemma.
He did not want to suspect Arielle and repeat his
mistake. That would make them end up in an awkward situation once again.
However, since Donovan insisted, Marcus had to give in. “Fine. I'll go with you, but we'll have to bring a bouquet of flowers. If they're really having a funeral, we'll make a fool of ourselves.”
“That's impossible! When Arielle told me that one of her family members passed away, she didn't even look sad. She's definitely lying! There's no need to bring any flowers. We'll embarrass ourselves if we actually bring flowers with us,” Donovan stated confidently.
Deep down, Marcus trusted Arielle. It had nothing to do with the latter having someone powerful to back her up. Marcus just had a gut feeling about it.
