Joanna was dumbfounded. She thought, ‘Are they fighting on campus?’
Aria grinned, holding up her phone as she looked at Lennox, who was sprawled awkwardly on the floor. “What are you so
nervous about?”
Everyone could tell that Lennox was feeling guilty.
“You don’t even feel the slightest bit of regret. Avery shouldn’t have stood up for you,” Aria said.
Lennox glared at Aria, stubbornly refusing to admit anything. “You’re just making things up.”
“I was there,” Cathy said, drawing everyone’s attention. “I was there during Avery’s emergency treatment. She was already out of danger then. It was Aria who saved her.”
One of Lennox’s roommates blurted out, “Did Lennox lie to us?”
Prescott’s face turned grim. “Seriously, Lennox? You didn’t tell your family or take Avery to the hospital. You dragged us all into this mess.”
If the Fletcher family decided to go after them, they would be in big trouble. They failed to look after Avery and didn’t take her to the hospital when she was ill. Prescott was already regretting backing him up.,
Lennox tried to argue, but no one believed him anymore.
Catherine slammed her cane on the ground. “The Fletcher family’s issue is settled. Now, let’s talk about you hitting my grandson.”
Prescott quickly grabbed her arm. “Grandma, forget it. It was my fault. I misunderstood her and tried to mess with her.”
Catherine said, “You did nothing wrong. How could she hit you? No, she can’t get away with this.”
Cathy said, “Prescott started it. This-”
“Cathy, are you siding with an outsider?” Catherine said, cutting her off. “Don’t think getting into the State Security Bureau makes you special. You’re still at the bottom of this family.”
Cathy sneered. “Hope you remember what you just said.”
Catherine didn’t take Cathy seriously at all. In her eyes, girls were meant to move out sooner or later. She always thought that Prescott was the smartest one in the family and the one with a bright future.
Aria watched silently, and for the first time, she truly understood why Aiden had chosen to walk away and settle in Mandino City. This family was full of nuts.
She said, “So, how do you want to settle this?”
Catherine raised her chin. “Apologize to Prescott right now, and the Shaw family will let you go.”
Deangelo finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and said, “This is Kanit University, not a place for the Shaw family to throw its weight around.”
Joanna broke out in a cold sweat, nervously whispering, “Mr. Reed, don’t-”
“What?” Deangelo shot back. “I won’t let the Shaw family do whatever they want here.”
Soon, several school administrators hurried over. Frank Jordan, the vice president, tried to smooth things over with an

apologetic smile. “Ms. Saxon, maybe you should apologize to Mrs. Shaw.”
Before Aria could say a word, Catherine yelled, “Apologies can’t fix everything. She hit my grandson, and I want her to bow and say sorry to him, or the Shaw family won’t donate another cent to the new bio lab.”
Frank panicked. “Mrs. Shaw, that might be too much. Perhaps she could just say sorry and go.”
Deangelo immediately pulled Aria behind him. “She didn’t do anything wrong. Why should she apologize?”
“Mr. Reed.” Frank said awkwardly, “The Shaw family has done a lot for the school.”
Deangelo stood his ground. “It doesn’t give them the right to twist the truth. Try and make Aria apologize. I dare you.”
Catherine sneered and said, “Who do you think you are?”
Prescott said, regretting bringing her at all, “Grandma, this started because of me. Let’s just drop it.”
Catherine said, “No way.”
