Chapter 519

Upon hearing Arielle’s name, Marcus’ face instantly hardened. “It’s her again?”

Donovan nodded with nonchalance. “Yes. I’ve told you time and again not to let anyone get into my
class through connections.”

Yet, Marcus furrowed his brows. He clearly did not believe Donovan.

After shaking his head, he explained, “Mr. Baxter, you made a mistake about Kelsea’s incident that day,
and the school lost a laboratory building because of that. I didn’t even ask you for compensation. Why
are you giving Arielle trouble again? Also, you were supposed to apologize to her on the stage during
the freshman party. But since Mr. Parker was there, I canceled the session. However, it doesn’t mean
that you don’t need to apologize to her. This issue has not come to an end yet. Mr. Baxter, why are you
making things difficult for her again? Do you have a problem with her?”

Donovan’s face fell upon hearing that.

Initially, he thought that Arielle had framed Kelsea, but later he learned that Kelsea was putting on her
own show. Due to the incident, his reputation among the students was ruined.

Donovan’s jaw tightened before he said, “I was oblivious about Kelsea’s incident. I’m a victim as well,
so you can’t blame that on me. Moreover, I’m certain that Arielle is making up an excuse now. Although
she was innocent in the previous incident, it doesn’t mean

she’s also right this time.”

“But-” Marcus was in a dilemma.

He did not want to suspect Arielle and repeat his mistake. That would make them end up in an
awkward



situation once again.

However, since Donovan insisted, Marcus had to give in. “Fine. I’ll go with you, but we’ll have to bring a
bouquet of flowers. If they’re really having a funeral, we’ll make a fool of ourselves.”

“That’s impossible! When Arielle told me that one of her family members passed away, she didn’t even
look sad. She’s definitely lying! There’s no need to bring any flowers. We’ll embarrass ourselves if we
actually bring flowers with us,” Donovan stated confidently.

Deep down, Marcus trusted Arielle. It had nothing to do with the latter having someone powerful to
back her up. Marcus just had a gut feeling about it.

Exasperatedly, he turned to Donovan and said, “Fine. You don’t have to bring any flowers. I’ll bring
some since I don’t mind embarrassing myself. Okay?”

Veins popped up against Donovan’s tautly stretched skin. He had no idea why Marcus was defending a
liar.

“It’s up to you then,” he snapped after letting out a sigh.

“All right. Let’s go!” Marcus then put on his sunglasses and jacket before he left.

Although he was worried that others would blame him for the incident with Steven last time, he had
never blamed Arielle for it.

He always encouraged his students to perform on stage.

However, if Arielle was really lying, he would punish her according to the rules of the school.

“My car is parked at the entrance. I’ll drive the car over. Meanwhile, help me buy a bouquet of white
chrysanthemums at the florist’s opposite of the school.”



The two of them split up after that.

Soon, Donovan returned with a bouquet of flowers before they drove toward the Southall residence.

In the car, Marcus reminded, “Mr. Baxter, let me remind you. If Arielle is innocent and did not lie, you
have to apologize to her for both of the incidents during the assembly tomorrow. Moreover, I’ll deduct
three months of your salary. You’ll also have to move out of the dorm and rent a house for yourself
outside. This will serve as a warning.”

Donovan agreed without any hesitation. “Okay!”

He was confident that he was not making a mistake. Arielle Moore, you’ll have to get out of my class
this time!
