Bruce got the bail sorted out at the police station, and then the six members of the Cedillo family left together.
Meanwhile, the 20-something classmates in the other detention room remained silent.
It was all a big misunderstanding.
The news they learned today was enough to rock the entire Havenbrook University.
Firstly, Mia wasn't a sugar baby. The old man was her father-in-law.
Secondly, she was already married, and her husband was the internationally famous Andre.
Moreover, Leo wasn't just a government official's son; he was also a rich kid.
Lastly, the school beauties weren't lovers but aunt and nephew.
Looking back at it, everything on the forum seemed utterly ridiculous.
"We've been played." Someone finally voiced the truth.
"Ever since Barbara started campaigning for school beauty, she's been at odds with Mia and even began deliberately smearing her. When her own dark past was exposed, it cleared Mia's name and allowed her to reclaim the title of school beauty. This time, it was Barbara who started spreading these rumors, exploiting our jealousy to incite us to attack Mia."
"Barbara wanted to use this incident to cover up her own disgraceful past. She almost became a hero for revealing the true face of the school beauty... It's quite scary when you think about it."
"Today, on the sports field, she was the one who started the mess. If we had really hurt Mia today, the Cedillo family would have never forgiven us."
...
However, even if Mia hadn't been hurt, Andre wouldn't let off those who bullied his wife.
Hansen kept praising Mia's agility, but all Andre felt was heartache.
In the car, he spent a long time checking Mia's hands and arms.
When they got home, he took her straight upstairs.
Upon entering their bedroom, he locked the door and said, "Take off your clothes."
Mia clutched her collar as if to ward off his assault.
"Don't be scared. I just want to check if you have any other injuries." Andre said as he placed his hand over hers.
Mia shook her head, "I don't believe you. You just want to take advantage of me."
Just as Andre was about to force her to undress, his phone rang.
"Hello?"
He was annoyed by Mia.
Mia perked up her ears to eavesdrop.
Andre pushed her away, saying, "Behave; take off your clothes."
"I won’t." Mia was stubborn.
Noah was shocked on the other end of the line. "Boss... Why do I have to undress?"
"Not you. Continue your report."
Noah finally got it. The boss was talking to his wife.
"Havenbrook University has been acquired. Barbara is currently receiving treatment at a plastic surgery hospital. The other two who were injured by Mrs. Cedillo are out of the emergency room. All the information related to Mrs. Cedillo on the forum has been deleted. Those who tried to attack Mrs. Cedillo have all been arrested by the police. The school board members are bailing them out."
Andre responded briefly.
"What should we do next?"
Andre placed his hand on Mia and said, "Mia, if you don't behave, I'll have to get rough."
"Humph, you wouldn't dare hit me! I'm your wife. You should be taking care of me." She said as she clung tightly to Andre.
Noah was glad to see that there was someone in this world who could make his boss feel so helpless.
