Chapter 351:
Gallagher’s gaze swept across the students with sharp intensity. “And you? You boast of being the elite heirs, yet what I see are nothing but conceited, small-minded tormentors! Such individuals have no place at Wront University p>
Wront University was on par with Drakmire University as one of the nation’s most esteemed institutions. Countless students would go to great lengths just for the opportunity to enroll. Gallagher was not just any president; he was a colossus in the educational field, renowned for his uncompromising integrity and immunity to external pressures.
The gravity of the situation sent the parents into a fresh panic.
Hurst, however, completely agreed with Gallagher’s stance. He stepped forward and said sincerely, “Mr. Richmond, you are absolutely right. A truly excellent student must first learn to be a good person before becoming successful in anything. I will strictly discipline Melanie once we get home. There will not be a next time p>
The other parents hurried to support Hurst’s statement. They didn’t dare utter a single word of complaint. All they could think about was making sure that their children weren’t expelled from Wront University.
Turning to Maia, Gallagher received a subtle nod from her, signaling him to proceed. “Mr. Cooper, your initiative in apologizing first to Ethan, along with Miss Watson’s decision not to escalate this, grants everyone a second opportunity p>
“However, be forewarned — if such an incident recurs, I will expel those involved without hesitation and inform their parents directly p>
The parents trembled at his ultimatum, quickly pledging to instill better values in their children and ensuring that such an incident would not happen again.
Gallagher’s gaze then settled on the homeroom teacher tucked away in the corner. With a chilling tone, he announced, “Loraine, you are hereby dismissed p>
Loraine was caught off guard, her face draining of color.

“What?” Gallagher’s voice cut through the air like a blade of ice. “You call yourself a teacher? You judge students without knowing the full story, fawn over the powerful, and treat people by their status. You are a stain on this institution. Wront University has no place for the likes of you p>
Panic gripped Loraine like a vice. All pretense of dignity crumbled as she stumbled forward, clutching at the hem of Gallagher’s trousers. She fell to her knees, pleading desperately, “I was wrong, Mr. Richmond! I never meant it! I didn’t understand what was truly happening! Please, just grant me another chance p>
Tears streamed down her face as she broke into uncontrollable sobs.
Gallagher did not so much as flinch. With a swift motion, he shook her off, casting a look of utter disdain her way. His voice remained as cold as stone. “Oh, and by the way, there’s been a report against you for accepting bribes from parents. I’ve already shown enough mercy by not suing you! You’ve broken school rules in ways that can’t be overlooked. Get out p>
Loraine collapsed onto the floor, crushed and defeated.
Without sparing her another glance, Gallagher turned and made his way toward Maia. Bowing deeply, he said, “Miss Watson, we have gravely failed you. On behalf of Wront University, I offer our sincerest apologies to you and to Ethan. We sincerely hope Ethan will remain with us. He deserves every opportunity we can offer p>
Maia raised her eyes, her lips curving into a faint, almost playful smile. “Whether Ethan stays or not… that depends p>
A ripple of shock swept through the crowd. Had they heard correctly?
This was Wront University — the place where students would crawl through fire just to set foot in. Yet here was Maia, speaking as if the cards were all in her hand.
Parents nearby looked as if the ground had shifted beneath them.
