Regardless of why the student finally bowed his head, Linsey's goal was achieved. Claire looked at Linsey. As long as Linsey had no objections, it was settled.
"I don't want double. I just want what's rightfully mine," Linsey said.
Quinton's counselor looked relieved. This student was much easier to talk to than the other one.
She was the picture of a simple, honest student from a humble background.
As for the other girl, the counselor finally remembered who she was.
She was the top scorer from Apex who had made such a splash.
An IMO champion, a genius fought over by both the Math and Medical departments.
A student that smart and sharp was incredibly difficult to handle.
If it were just Linsey, calling the cops might not have done much to Quinton.
But with Claire involved, if she refused to let it go, Quinton wouldn't be able to escape a fraud charge.
"Linsey, since Quinton agreed to double the compensation, that's what you deserve. Don't refuse it."
The counselor suddenly took Linsey's side.
He just hoped that once she took the money, she wouldn't cause any more trouble.
Right then, Linsey's own counselor finally arrived.
After hearing the whole story, she also agreed that Linsey should take the double compensation.
"Quinton embezzled your money without permission. If you hadn't found him, he probably would have just pocketed it."
"You deserve this compensation. Don't be polite about it."
"Linsey, if you run into this kind of thing again, I hope you come to me first."
"If it's something I can solve, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Both counselors were on the same page. Neither wanted this to escalate to the police station and cause a huge scene.
But Linsey's counselor was also very protective of her students.
She didn't want to see Linsey bullied or taken advantage of.
Which was why she supported her taking the compensation.
Skye and Zara also urged her. "Think about it. If Claire hadn't stepped in to help, you wouldn't have gotten a single cent."
"But..." Linsey hesitated.
Even though Quinton had bad intentions, she really had made money through the job he introduced.
Linsey was truly not greedy at all.
"Linsey, since he's willing to compensate you, just take it," Gavin Hayes chimed in.
He had almost been dragged down by Quinton, so he naturally harbored a lot of resentment toward his roommate.
He thought Linsey would be an idiot not to take the money right now.
Did she really think that refusing money that wasn't hers would keep the peace?
Knowing Quinton's petty nature, he had definitely held a grudge against everyone here.

Linsey could be generous, but that would put the other girl in a tough spot.
Linsey didn't want the other girl to lose out because of her.
So, she had to take the compensation.
Quinton somehow scraped the money together and actually paid Linsey and the other girl the very next day.
Linsey was thrilled to get her hard-earned money back.
With double the amount, if she was careful with her spending, her living expenses for the entire semester were covered.
However, Linsey didn't slack off just because she had a little extra cash.
She was still the first one up in the dorm every morning, and she started bringing breakfast back for everyone for a fee.
She charged fifty cents a person, which wasn't expensive.
Claire and the others insisted on paying it.
