Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 545

Cassidy's eyes fell on the screen, and he instantly recognized his son in the video. So he really had cheated.

Ferdinand, meanwhile, kept his head down, not daring to say a word.

"I hear you want to call the police?" the subordinate continued with a smile. "That's fine, but let's be clear about who started this. Also, a lot of people online are currently accusing Juniper of being a bully. To set the record straight, I think this video would be a very useful thing to post for the public to see. Let them be the judge."

Cassidy froze, his earlier arrogance deflating in an instant. Post it online? Many of his acquaintances would see it; the humiliation would be immense. That was out of the question.

Before Cassidy could respond, the counselor's phone rang.

"Hello?" she answered. As she listened, her expression grew more and more serious. "Yes, I understand. Rest assured, I won't let her be wronged."

After hanging up, she turned to the Malones, her face stern. "The university president is now aware of this incident. He says that Ferdinand maliciously disrupted the competition. If you continue to cause trouble, the school will issue him a major demerit."

"What?" Cassidy's face turned ashen. "And what about Juniper grabbing my son's hair? Does she get away with that?"

"Well..." the counselor paused, then added pointedly, "Ferdinand's verbal abuse came first, which makes Juniper's actions a form of self-defense."

She then offered a tight, artificial smile, maintaining the pretense of seeking a peaceful resolution. "If you're still not satisfied, we have the full video right here. We could always post the entire thing online and let the internet decide. Of course, the choice is yours."

Cassidy finally understood. Eclara University was openly siding with Juniper. Publicizing the video would be disastrous for him and his son.

"Fine," Cassidy said with a cold laugh. "But don't expect another dollar of investment from the Malone family for Eclara University. Ferdinand, let's go."
