Chapter 518

Donovan speed walked to the principal’s office as he wanted to bring Marcus to Arielle’s house
immediately to expose her lies.

Lying to apply for leave was against the school rules, and it was strictly prohibited in Jadeborough
University.

The students of a normal class would be punished if they were caught doing so. However, students in
the preparatory class would be expelled from the class if they were caught.

Though there was no way for Donovan to have Arielle out from Jadeborough University, kicking her out
from his class was sufficient for Arielle to not be an eyesore to Donovan.

There was no one in the principal’s office when Donovan arrived. He knocked on the door, but there was
no reply. Nonetheless, the door was left ajar. Hence, the door was pushed open with the knock.

“Mr. Brown?” Donovan called out as he walked into the office.

Sadly, there was no one in there.

Donovan furrowed his brows and took out his phone to call Marcus.

However, the moment Donovan took his phone out, a man appeared at the door. He was almost fully
covered from head to toe with a fisherman’s hat on his head and a mask covering his face.

Although the man covered himself quite thoroughly, Donovan still managed to recognize him with just a
glance.



“Mr. Brown,” Donovan called out and asked curiously, “It’s so hot today. Why are you covering yourself
from head to toe?”

Marcus was shocked, as he had never expected that there would be someone in his office.

After taking a good look at Donovan, Marcus let out a sigh of relief. He then looked around to make sure
that there was no one in the corridor. Subsequently, he quickly entered his office and closed the door.

After that, Marcus asked, “How did you recognize me when I’m dressed up in this manner?”

Marcus was rather upset as he took about triple the time he usually used to get ready just to disguise
himself. However, it seemed like his disguise did not work its purpose.



Donovan was even more curious and asked once more, “Why are you dressed up in this manner?”

“Sigh. It was all because of the incident last night. Steven and his friends looked down and ridiculed
Wendy’s song. Not to even mention Arielle’s as well. I’ve gone through their details. They are all from the
suburbs. Sigh. Steven must have said nastier comments after I’ve left. I’m so ashamed now. To begin
with, I shouldn’t have even organized this freshman party!”

Donovan’s expression immediately became more complex.

Seems like Mr. Brown isn’t aware that Steven did not look down on Arielle’s song, but bowed to her and
asked her to teach him.

Just when Donovan felt a sense of relief, he felt annoyed at the same time.

Steven was someone of the upper-class society that even Donovan did not have the right to greet him.
Hence, Donovan felt ashamed that Steven would bow to Arielle.



After hesitating for about two seconds, Donovan decided to not tell Marcus about what actually
happened last night.

Instead, he said, “Now that you brought up the incident last night, is it convenient for you to visit a
student’s home with me now? She applied for leave yesterday after the freshman party with the reason
that her family member has passed away. However, I can tell that she was lying. Hence, I’ll need you to
go over to her house with me to verify it.”

“What? How can she use such an excuse to apply for leave?” Marcus’ expression immediately darkened
upon hearing Donovan.

After all, Marcus was fine that his students were not high achievers. However, he could not allow his
students to have such ill behavior.

Using the passing of a family member as an excuse to apply for leave was strictly forbidden!

“Sure! After all, I don’t want to stay in the school for the moment in case any teacher were to find fault
with me. I’ll follow you over now,” said Marcus. He then paused for a moment before asking, “Oh right,
what’s the name of the student?”

“Arielle Moore.”
