Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Tearing Off Her Skin (4)
Vera Xavier grabbed Crystal Quinn’s hand, twisted it, and threw her aside.
Susan Caldwell immediately shouted, "Vera Xavier attacked someone! After all the disgraceful things she’s done, she still has the nerve to resort to violence!"
Someone chimed in, "Beat her up!"
Just then, Sheldon Caldwell hurried over with several other drill instructors. "Stop! What do you think you’re doing?"
Sheldon Caldwell had an undeniable commanding presence. The girls fell silent, and no one dared to make a move.
Susan Caldwell stepped forward. "Chief Drill Instructor, Vera Xavier just attacked someone. I recommend she be expelled immediately."
Crystal Quinn and the others behind her immediately started chanting, "Expel Vera Xavier!"
Sheldon Caldwell’s brow furrowed slightly when he saw Susan Caldwell. ’Why is she mixed up in everything?’
He turned to Vera Xavier and asked, "What’s going on?"
"They claimed I sexually harassed a male student and then pretended to be his savior," Vera Xavier said calmly. "I told them I had evidence to the contrary, but they didn’t believe me and tried to attack me. I was acting in self-defense."
Susan Caldwell sneered. "The evidence against you is irrefutable. You’re just making excuses!"
Vera Xavier sighed. "What irrefutable evidence? This is clearly just your side of the story. I always prefer to be on good terms with people and hate dragging others into my problems. But it seems I have no choice today. Ruby, why don’t you come and tell everyone what really happened!"
A "boy" with a pale face, short hair, a flat chest, and standing a good 1.7 meters tall, walked over.
The moment she approached, someone in the crowd recognized her. "Isn’t that the boy Vera Xavier harassed that night?"
Susan Caldwell’s face fell the moment she saw the "boy." She could twist the testimony of anyone else at this school, claiming Vera had bribed them. But she couldn’t do that with the very person at the center of the incident.
Ruby Walsh slowly came to a stop. She glanced at the surrounding crowd and said, "First of all, I need to clarify something. I’m a girl, not a boy."
Her voice was gentle, and her features were delicate. She had no Adam’s apple.
The crowd instantly erupted, all eyes turning to Susan Caldwell. If Ruby Walsh wasn’t a boy, then the entire accusation against Vera was baseless.
Susan Caldwell’s face went deathly pale.
Ruby Walsh continued, "Secondly, Vera Xavier didn’t follow me and knock me unconscious out of lust. I have a heart condition that flared up, and I collapsed. In fact, she saved my life!"
She finished and looked at Vera Xavier. "Thank you! If I’d known you were being slandered like this for saving me, I would have checked out of the hospital sooner to clear your name."
She had wanted to say thank you to Vera for a long time, but she had been hospitalized and only returned to school yesterday.
Vera Xavier smiled faintly. "Don’t worry about it. Your health is what’s most important."
Ruby Walsh smiled back and then stood by Vera Xavier’s side.
Crystal Quinn stood there, completely stunned. This turn of events was far beyond anything she had expected. A single thought looped endlessly in her mind: ’The person Vera saved was a girl. The person Vera saved was a girl...’
Vera Xavier didn’t waste another look on her. She walked right up to Susan Caldwell and stared at her. "Susan Caldwell, would you care to repeat what you just said?"
