Chapter 358 - Concrete Proof And Evidence
After her morning class, Zhen-Zhen immediately proceeded to the office of the Student Council. She wanted to inquire about the Selection of Campus Belle and how she was able to participate.
She learned that the Student Council was the one spearheading the Selection Process. Aside from that, she also came to their office to present the evidence that John and others indeed planned everything against Sophia.
Zhen-Zhen heard from Tristan that the Vice President and President of the Student Council were also present in the Guidance Office when the confrontation happened.
She went to the Guidance Office first but the Guidance Counselor was not around as he took his lunch first.
Upon entering the Student Council Office, Zhen-Zhen saw a familiar figure. The person was Mary, the vice president who gave her orientation during her first day of school.
She was sitting at her assigned table. The other representatives already went out to take their lunch. Only Mary was left in their office. She raised her head when she heard someone enter the office.
Mary flashed her friendly smile as soon as her eyes found Lillie approaching her.
"Lillie, I'm glad to see you here. What brings you here?" Mary stood up to welcome Zhen-Zhen. She invited her to sit down at the vacant chair near her table.
"Am I disturbing you, Ms. VP?" Zhen-Zhen asked her shyly.
Mary giggled when she heard her calling her Ms. VP. "Just call me Mary. No need to be formal."
"By the way, do you have any concerns? What can I do for you, dear?"
"Honestly, Mary… I came here to ask for your help concerning my friend, Sophia. I know what happened to her last Saturday during our Acquaintance Party," Zhen-Zhen was looking at her with a serious expression.
Mary was taken aback when she heard that. She didn't expect that Lillie and Sophia knew each other.
"Sure. Just tell me what help do you need? I already told you from the beginning that you could ask me anything especially if you encountered any problem here at the school," Mary was very fond of Zhen-Zhen. She knew that she was very nice and kind, beautiful inside out.
"I'm sorry, Mary. I know it's not right that I took something from someone without his knowledge. But I had no choice. I just want to help my friend, Sophia. Other students wanted to bully her. I can't stand it. I know I have to do something to help her." Zhen-Zhen confessed to Mary as she was guilty of taking John's phone.
Mary was surprised by Zhen-Zhen's confession but she appreciated her honesty. She knew her wrongdoings. She admitted it and apologized for it, unlike those people who still kept on denying it though it was already obvious that they had done something wrong.
"Here is John's phone. We can see the evidence here that John and others plotted a scheme against Sophia that night. There were six people involved, not only the three men." A cold glint sparked in Zhen-Zhen's eyes when she said those words.
Mary looked at her in confusion. She accepted the phone and checked the evidence Zhen-Zhen was referring to. Zhen-Zhen told her to check the message history and the conversation between John, Marcus, and Lester including Jade, and her friends.
Mary couldn't believe that they could do these despicable things. They played with Sophia's feelings. They insulted her behind her back even though she helped the three girls with their studies.
They used her for their gains and benefits but they didn't care about her feelings. They humiliated her and even made a bet, making innocent Sophia engage in sexual activity.
The most disgusting and despicable thing they did was recording the intimate moment between Marcus and Sophia.
Everything was well-planned from the day Marcus went on the date with Sophia. Mary couldn't let this slide. Their inappropriate behaviors, ill-motives, and evil actions should be punished accordingly.
As the Vice President of the Student Council, Mary had the obligation and responsibility to make sure that these students received the punishments they deserved. They could be suspended or worst, their actions could be subjected to expulsion.
They violated lots of university' codes of conduct and rules. They tried to hurt a fellow student and threatened her using a scandal video that they got by manipulating the two people in that video. They used drugs to spike Sophia's drinks.
These things were enough for those students to be expelled from the school. Aside from that, Zhen-Zhen and Matthew got concrete proof and evidence that showed the involvement of those students.
This was not just a small matter anymore. If Sophia would like to sue them and file a complaint against them, she could do it. But the school had also the responsibility and obligation to punish these students.
"Mary, can you help me pass this evidence to the Guidance Counselor?" Zhen-Zhen requested her with her pleading voice.
"Of course, Yes! I will take action regarding this. This is my responsibility as a member of the Student Council." Mary promptly responded with so much conviction in her words.
Her eyes were burning with rage. As a woman, she could sympathize with Sophia's feelings. If this thing happened to her, she would never forget those people who were involved. She would sue them for sure.
"I will not only bring this to the Guidance Counselor. I will report this to the Disciplinary Committee as well. Oh, I bet the Guidance Counselor will call for an emergency meeting with the Disciplinary Committee."
"He will summon these misbehaving students. Heh, I can't wait to see how they will explain this. Don't worry, Lillie. I will help you and Sophi with this concern. This is my priority today!" Mary was very determined and enthusiastic to bring justice for Sophia.
"Thank you, Ms. VP. You are amazing. I will count on you with this," Zhen-Zhen cheerfully said. She felt grateful for Mary.
"Let's go, Lillie. Let's go grab some lunch first. After that, we will take action regarding this matter. Help me find Sophia. I wanna talk to her too."
Soon, the two ladies went out of the Student Council Office, getting ready for their next move.
*****
Meanwhile, at the University Clinic, John and Lester who passed out two hours ago finally woke up.
The remnant of the frightening scenes they had experienced with FaMo still lingered on their minds.
The fear was still visible in their eyes as they looked around. They were still figuring out what had just happened to them.
When they felt that there's no danger in their surroundings, the two men finally calmed down and cleared their minds.
That's the moment they realized that they were inside the school clinic. They were lying on the single bed. The only thing that separated their beds was a white curtain that served as the division.
"John? Are you there?" Lester asked, hoping that John was staying on the other bed.
"Yes, I am here." John slid the curtain on the side so that he could see Lester from the other side. "What happened to us back there? Where's that demon guy?"
That's the time the nurse came in to check them.
