After running out of the campus and boarding a bus, Yvonne and Natalie finally calmed down.
"Qasim is just too bold. How dare he do that on campus? We must report him to the administration tomorrow and get him expelled." Yvonne was furious.
Natalie nodded heavily.
Qasim almost assaulted her. There was no need for Yvonne to remind her because she would never forgive that guy!
As for Tobias, the meeting was very successful and the contract was signed.
He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tired.
Benjamin approached him and reported, "Mr. Whitlock, I've booked a flight back to Agaphen City tomorrow."
Tobias nodded.
It was already ten at night.
What was Natalie doing? The thought suddenly occurred to Tobias.
There was a short ring from his mobile phone. It was a text message.
Tobias unlocked his screen to check.
It was a photo from an unknown number. It was a photo of Natalie. Tobias' handsome face froze.
The next day, Natalie got up early in the morning.
She did not even have time for breakfast as she rushed to her university. She wanted to report Qasim to vent her frustrations.
Yvonne arrived early in the morning too and they went to the vice principal office together.
"Mr. Vance, Qasim bullied Natalie yesterday. You have to investigate this and expel him!" Yvonne stated her intentions.
They took into account the reputation of the university and Natalie was not harmed the previous day, therefore they did not lodge a police report. Instead, they waited for the management of the university to deal with it!
They believed that the university would be fair.
However, Mr. Vance cast a glance at them before sighing, "Natalie, you should go to Mr. Aaron's office." Mr. Aaron was the principal of Agaphen University.
Mr. Vance asked Yvonne to return to the classroom before bringing Natalie to the principal's office.
As soon as they arrived at the principal's office, Natalie spotted Mr. Aaron bowing and apologizing to a couple obsequiously.
The woman was wearing expensive clothes while the man was exuding an impressive aura.
"Natalie, come quickly! Apologize to Qasim's mother now!" Mr. Aaron had keen eyes and he immediately spotted Natalie when she walked in. Natalie was puzzled.
Mrs. Lawson walked to Natalie and asked in a condescending tone, "Is this the girl who kicked my son?"
"Her name is Natalie Godfrey. Natalie, apologize now! Qasim was admitted to the hospital because you kicked him!" Mr. Aaron informed Natalie.
Natalie immediately understood.
"He bullied me in the first place!" Natalie's face was stiff.
She was too embarrassed to tell what Qasim did to her, hence she could only explain it in a subtle way.
Mr. Aaron's face darkened.
Natalie was out of her mind. Did she not know who Qasim's parents were?
"Natalie, stop spewing nonsense and apologize now. Maybe Qasim's parents would be kind enough to let it slide. You might be spared from being expelled. Otherwise, I can't protect you," Mr. Aaron concluded.
Natalie's eyes were filled with disbelief.
She came in the hopes that the university would help her. However, Mr. Aaron ignored her remarks and asked her to apologize?
"Mr. Aaron, how can you protect Qasim? I'm going to call the police!" Natalie clenched her fists.
"Call the police?" Mrs. Lawson sneered and retorted, "Do you know that the chief of police needs to bow to my husband? You still want to call the police?"
Mr. Aaron was anxious. He whispered in Natalie's ear, "Natalie, you can't afford to offend Qasim. Hurry up and apologize to his parents. Otherwise, the university will suffer too. His parents are very powerful and no one will be able to help you."
"He bullied me and I will never apologize!" Natalie was stubborn.
