Chapter 893
When Avery began to check the surveillance, she worried. What if she was seen by someone when she was planting the nail?
She didn't sleep well the entire night. Katie finally thought of a way, which was to use her father's connections to get Serena out of the school. This way, Avery would stop his investigation. Tegan saw how hard his daughter had worked, but in the end, she was still unable to surpass Serena.
He felt both pain in his heart and dislike for Serena, so he agreed to Katie's request.
As long as Serena was gotten rid of, Katie would be the best student there was. In the future, she wouldn't have to work so hard till the middle of the night every day.
Hearing the voice from the radio, Katie was so scared that she trembled. She had never done anything bad ever since she was a child.
"I, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
"You really don't look very well. You wanna take a rest?"
"Yeah." Katie's heart was in a state of panic. Everyone on the sports ground was discussing who was the one who had put the nail.
At this moment, the phone rang. When Katie saw that it was her father who had called, she quickly walked to the side to pick it up.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Katie, bad news. Serena's parents are not janitors or dishes-cleansing workers at all. You can't even imagine how respectful the principal is when with him."
"Her parents are furious right now about her foot. You'd better find a place to hide right now."
"Dad, didn't you hear what the man said? If I don't go within ten minutes, our family will be implicated!"
At this moment, Katie was flustered and constantly twisting her fingers. Her heart was filled with regret. Why did she have to do these things?
"There is no camera in the locker room. They can't find evidence. Who will know it's you? If you go to him now, you'd be walking right into a trap." Tegan said decisively.
Tegan knew the Xiao family was not to be messed with, so the wise choice now was to walk away.
"No, Avery has already ruled out many people and I'm going to be the next one. Dad, there's no place to hide..." "Katie, don't do stupid things. Don't come over." Tegan cherished his daughter the most. What if something went wrong?
"Katie, Avery is asking you to come over." A classmate next to her came over.
Katie knew that she was finished. From yesterday till today, there were many people around her who had been called to be questioned.
She was too bad a liar and too timid to remain calm.
Katie hung up the phone. "Okay, I'll be right there."
Since she was going to be made anyway, Katie decided to go to the radio room. If the Xiao family was really a hard nut to crack, she had no other choice than admitting her mistake.
In the radio room, Adam said with apparent fury on his face, "Three minutes left."
Tracey looked at Serena with a concerned look, "Serena, I know that you have been reasonable since you were a child. Both your dad and I respect your every choice.
Even when you came to Sakura High School to study, I let you. I knew you would take good care of yourself, but now you couldn't take good care of yourself.
After this, you must transfer to another school, and I and your dad will be responsible for whatever choice you have to make in the future."
"Mommy! Don't."
Tracey had rarely spoken to her in such a serious tone ever since she was a child.
"Serena, during these years, your mommy and I have been very respectful to your decision. But you did get yourself in harm's way this time."
"Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, it's all my fault. I failed to protect Serena. The blame is all on me."
"It's none of Avery's business. I was careless. Such a thing won't happen if I had been cautions enough." Serena was so terrified that Avery would have left a bad impression on them.
"Avery, your parents have always been against you coming to Sakura to study, but you did it for Serena and we couldn't say anything about it.
Everyone in this school was full of malice towards Serena. Serena has already been injured once, and we, as her parents, didn't know anything.
You were always there as Serena grew up and we entrusted you with her, thinking you are a good boy. But if you can't even protect my daughter, I think we might have to do some rethinking about the marriage."
The two didn't even know that the radio was still on. Their voices had already been broadcasted to the whole school. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Their words caused turmoil in the school. "What?
Did they just say marriage? What the heck?"
"Avery transferred here for Serena?"
"My god, just who is this Serena?"
"No wonder Avery does not like anyone but only cares about Serena. It turns out that they have been engaged for already."
"Aww, childhood sweethearts. How romantic!"
"There are less than 2 minutes left. Do you think whoever did it will come up? Jeez, the Xiao family is really something, ain't it?"
Avery got so anxious at Adam's words about canceling the marriage.
"I know it's my fault this time. I won't let such things happen again in the future. Can you give me another chance? I will make sure Serena grows up safe and sound, without even a single glitch."
Avery, who had always been proud in front of others, was now like a flustered child. Those standing around couldn't help wondering how powerful the Xiao family was, given that Avery, whose family background was already magnificent, was so respectful and timid in front of them.
The students who had badmouthed Serena behind her back felt a chill on their backs at this moment. And those who mocked her father for being a janitor got even more terrifying chills.
Especially after they saw that her so-called janitor of a father came to the school riding a helicopter.
"Dad, mom, don't blame Avery. It's all my fault..."
A voice suddenly sounded at the radio room door, "I..."
Adam looked toward the door. It was a little girl who was thin and small with a ponytail and big black-framed glasses.
Such an honest and simple child did not attract their attention at all. "Yes?"
Being swept by Adam's cold gaze, Katie felt extremely terrified and her whole body turned cold.
Seeing her coming over, Tegan's face darkened. "Katie, what are you doing here? Get lost!"
"Dad, I told you that I wouldn't be able to escape. Avery is already on top of me," he said.
"You..." Avery also sensed the problem and asked, "You're the one who placed the nail?"
Katie walked in with her hands on the door and said carefully, "I'm sorry, Serena. I'm the one who put the nail in your shoes."
Who would've expected such a tender girl to have done something so malicious?
Serena was even more confused. "Who are you?
Why did you do it?"
Katie didn't think that the person she hated deep down in her bones wouldn't know who she was at all!
