Chapter 34
Is she really unworthy of the scholarship ? Her silence speaks volumes ! Why isnt she defending herself ?? My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan ; her eyes were wide and filled with worry .
She gave me a small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was in my corner .
We made our way outside and we walked in silence as we reached the administration office .
The deans office was on the top floor , so we had to take the stairs .
Take a seat , ladies , the dean said as he sat on his desk chair .
I sat down beside Carol , and she was quick to pull out her phone .
She had a sneer on her lips , and I knew she was up to something that I wasnt going to expect .
A tight knot formed in the pit of my stomach and my heart thudded rapidly against my ribcage .
There was a knock on the door , drawing our attention elsewhere .
Enter , the dean said , leaning back in his seat .
One of my professors walked into the room ; he was my defense training professor and someone I looked up Carol was also in that class .
to .
For some reason , seeing him made me sigh in relief .
It was nice to see a familiar and friendly face during this high -tension time .
Professor Rodgers , what can I do for you ? The dean asked , raising his brows at the professor .
Ive come to offer my guidance and support , he said , walking into the room and leaving the door open a crack .
I think of myself as a mentor figure to these girls and Id like to be here during this conversation if youll allow it .
The dean nodded his head thoughtfully .
Of course , he said , motioning for an empty seat .
Professor Rodgers walked towards the seat ; his eyes refusing to meet mine .
The dean finally turned his attention to Carol and cleared his throat , getting her attention .
You said you have proof that shes been disloyal ? The dean asked .
Carol straightened her posture as she swiped across the screen on her phone .
Check this out , Carol hissed .
Judy doesnt need this scholarship .
Shes rich and has all the money in the world .
She got into a luxury car last night .
Only rich people can get rides from cars of this status .
The scholarship should go to someone in need .
Is her family even struggling at all ? Or was it some big ploy to gain sympathy ? She pulled up a picture of me getting into the car that Gavin had sent to me last night .
I knew I was being watched ; I could feel it .
But I decided to ignore it at the time and now it seemed like it was going to bite me in the ass The dean examined the photo for a moment , his brows furrowed together .
He then looked at me and I watched his Jips press in a thin line .
Where exactly do you work , Miss Judy ? He asked , raising his brows .
Chapter 0034 I couldnt tell him where I worked or who I worked for because of that contract I signed for Gavin .
I wasnt sure what to say or how to redeem myself .
The dean grew suspicious of my silence but before he could say anything , Professor Rodgers cleared his throat .
Its clear that we really dont know who Judy Montague is he said , folding his arms across his chest .
My heart fell deep into my stomach as I turned to look at him .
What was he doing ? What was he trying to say ? If she would lie about something like this , how do we know she isnt lying about other stuff ? I always found it suspicious that she was so good at almost everything .
Shes probably paying someone to help her cheat .
I think we should look more into that , sir .
Surely , we cant allow someone disloyal to remain at this school .
I gasped at his words ; he was supposed to be someone I considered a mentor .
But it seemed he wanted me to get expelled from this school .
I could see the satisfaction on Carols face as she folded her arms across her chest and leaned back in her seat .
Its a serious accusation .
What do you have to say for yourself , Miss Judy ? The dean asked , his brows raising to his hairline .
Before I begin this investigation , do you have anything youd like to say in your defense ? I opened my mouth to speak , but no words came out .
You cant seriously be considering expelling her because she got into a luxury car , are you ? A deep voice spoke from the doorway .
I didnt need to turn around to see who was standing there ; I could smell his incredible cologne , and my heart immediately skipped a beat upon hearing his deep tone .
The dean paled upon seeing who was standing at the entrance of his office , leaning against his doorframe Alpha Gavin , the dean said , bowing his head slightly , Gavin walked into the room ; a couple of his Gamma warriors remained at the doorway .
Its from my understanding that Miss Montague is an outstanding student and more than deserves this reward , Gavin said , narrowing his eyes .
However , I did get some inside intel that Miss Declaire had cheated on her last several tests by paying someone to take exams for her .
I followed the dean , keeping my head low as everyone murmured around me .
