Chapter 380
Gripping her from both sides, they pinned her securely in place.
“What the hell are you doing?! Are you trying to assault me in broad daylight p>
Seeing things escalate rapidly, Mara scrambled over, desperately trying to pull them apart. “Let’s talk this out! We’re all classmates! Don’t ruin our friendship over this p>
Amidst the scuffle, Mira smoothly slipped her hand into Lexie’s pocket and yanked out a syringe.
Holding the syringe up to the light, Mira commanded, “Liora, call the police right now p>
Liora whipped out her phone, but hesitated just before hitting dial. “Shouldn’t we report this to the school administration first p>
“The school can’t handle this. I suspect this is filled with narcotics p>
The syringe looked chillingly familiar. In her previous life, when she was kidnapped, her captors had stood nearby discussing drugs, casually holding this exact type of syringe.
Looking back, they hadn’t bothered to hide it from her because they had already considered her a dead woman.
“What?! I’m calling my brother,” Liora said.
Liora’s older brother was Officer Bennett.
Anything involving narcotics was a major felony. Handing it straight to Officer Bennett would ensure they had zero room to maneuver or suppress the evidence.
“What narcotics?! You’re out of your mind! That’s for my chemistry experiment!” Lexie protested vehemently, though her voice noticeably wavered at the end.
Liora hit dial without hesitation. “Hey, get a team down here right now. We found what looks like illegal drugs at our school p>
“Since when do chemistry experiments require hard drugs?” Elara asked sharply.
“It’s not drugs! Give it back! I swear to God, I’ll do anything you want! Please!” Lexie pleaded, all the color draining from her face.
“Lexie, that isn’t drugs, right?” Mara asked, sounding deeply concerned, but her true goal was to publicly distance herself from the situation.
At this point, Mira couldn’t be bothered to entertain them. She simply waited for the police.
It didn’t take long for the principal and the dean of students to sprint over.
While Liora was on the phone with the police, Mira had also called the school administration.
Here, the principal acted as the patriarch of the school; he needed to be informed immediately.
“What exactly is going on here p>
Mira held up the syringe. “She
attempted to inject me with this
from behind. Thankfully, Harrison
et か
Moore noticed and stopped her
highly suspect this contams
narcotics. We’ve already contacted
the authorities, and the police should be here any minute p>
Had Lexie succeeded, their very next move would have been to anonymously report Mira for drug abuse.
Mira was a public figure. Without concrete evidence to prove her innocence, a scandal like that would instantly obliterate her entertainment career.
Even though she was Lune, no one in the industry would dare work with a drug- addicted composer.
Her enemies still had no idea that Mira was the true owner of Solflare Entertainment. It was incredibly fortunate that the company hadn’t gone public yet, keeping the stock market completely insulated from this kind of personal attack.
Otherwise, the fallout would have been catastrophic.
“What?! Narcotics?! Expelled! She is expelled immediately!” The principal glared at
Lexie with utter disgust.
The school had finally produced a prodigy like Mira-not only an academic powerhouse but a massive celebrity.
She was the absolute face of
Melvion Central High School. The administration was heavily banking on her securing a national ranking in the upcoming subject competitions. competitions. They absolutely could not allow some deranged student to ruin her.
The principal gingerly took the syringe from Mira, inspecting it closely as he spoke.
“What is her name p>
He prayed to god she hadn’t already dragged the school’s reputation through the mud.
“Lexie Fontaine,” Liora answered.
“Lexie Fontaine? Which class is she in?” the dean of students asked.
“Senior Class One,” Mira replied calmly.
“Senior Class One… excellent. Lexie Fontaine is a transfer student, a temporary enrollee. Technically speaking, she isn’t even an official student of this institution p>
Lexie stood in stunned silence.
Everyone else was utterly speechless.
