"If you didn't, then why refuse to let the apology loop?"
"Levi, the only reason I'm willing to forgive you for spreading rumors and damaging my reputation is because of your supposed sincerity."
"If you have no sincerity at all, then I can only assume you're apologizing just because you were forced into a corner."
After Claire laid it out like that, did he even have the right to refuse?
Sure enough, before Levi could voice another objection, Lillian made the decision for him.
"Don't worry, Claire. You can play this recording for as long as you'd like. Keep it running for a week if you want."
After saying that, Lillian shot a sharp look at Levi. "And you, knock off the attitude. If you're going to apologize, you're going to make sure she's satisfied!"
"But..." Levi stammered. *Did his dignity mean absolutely nothing?*
"Drop the ego. You're not a celebrity. Admitting your mistakes and fixing them is the right thing to do."
A few Student Council members watching the drama unfold couldn't help but whisper among themselves. "Thank God we never crossed Claire."
"Yeah, she's absolutely brutal. Anyone who messes with her is just asking for a death wish."
"Looping an apology for three days? How is that any different from streaking naked across campus?"
"With a personality like hers, if we had offended her before, we'd probably be standing right where Levi is."
"She's definitely hardcore, but Levi was the one who started it."
"If you don't provoke her, why would she destroy you?"
"You guys might not know this, but I heard she actually saved someone's life during military training."
One particularly well-connected student had caught wind of the surgery Claire had performed.
"It was Hudson Carter, that freshman who lost one of his balls."
"What?"
The group stared in shock.
Was Claire really that savage?
On one hand, they were completely stunned by her medical skills.
On the other, they were all feeling a little terrified.
What if they accidentally pissed her off? Would she just castrate them out of habit?
"Honestly, I think she went pretty easy on Levi," one of the department heads chuckled.
The others nodded in quick agreement. "Yeah, if she had been feeling really ruthless, Levi's balls would be..."
Better not to dwell on the balls.
She was a smart girl who knew how to weaponize the law to protect her rights.
It was best they kept their mouths firmly shut.
Watching Levi slink out of the dining hall like a beaten dog, the group couldn't help
but burst into quiet laughter.
Levi had spent plenty of time
throwing his weight around and
vel
showing off in front of the net
constantly riding Sloane's coattails.
He had even pawned his own work off on them from time to time.
The spectators gathered here all clearly had bad blood with him; they had been waiting for his downfall for ages.
Every face in the crowd practically glowed with schadenfreude.
In the past, they had only tolerated him because they were wary of Sloane's backing-specifically Vice President Sterling and her grandfather, a renowned national physician. Thất alone had earned
her a wide berth.
But strip away her background, and she was just a slightly prettier-than-average girl.
It wasn't written in stone that every guy had to obsess over her.
Besides, they had all managed to get into The Cabinda University. Clearly, none of them were idiots.
Studying hard and taking control of their own destinies was obviously infinitely better than being someone's pathetic lapdog.
Only someone as desperate for a free ride as Levi would sink to groveling for Sloane's attention.
If he was simply drawn to her stunning curves and radiant complexion, that would be completely understandable.
But Sloane obviously couldn't care less about him. She treated him like just another nameless fish in her massive pond of admirers
Levi was the only one entirely oblivious to that fact.
Among the crowd relishing his humiliation was someone who had once been Levi's friend.
He had kindly tried to warn Levi, only for Levi to snap at him.
Levi had even accused the guy of being jealous of his close relationship with
Sloane.
