But the Young family wasn’t easy to deal with. They were still weighing whether to add more charges to strengthen the case.
Amelia pulled out her phone and played the recording of her conversation with Skyler just minutes ago.
Tiana’s eyes widened.
William’s expression curved into a satisfied smile. “Thank you for standing up for what’s right. We’ll make sure the student responsible faces consequences.”
Amelia added, “Mr. Drake, what matters most is clearing up the misunderstanding about Cameron. That should be the priority.”
Whether Skyler got punished or not didn’t matter as much.
Rumors could destroy someone.
And she was sure Cameron must be hurting right now.
William gave a firm nod. “Don’t worry. We won’t let an innocent student take the fall for this.”
Tiana added, “Amelia, go back to class. We’ll handle the rest.”
With that reassurance, the weight on Amelia’s chest finally lifted. he stepped out of Tiana’s office, she exhaled slowly. was she helping Cameron? aybe because, deep down, she felt guilty about how determined she had been to break off the engagement between their families.
At 10 AM, second period ended.
Normally, this was just a regular morning break, but today, every student-including the seniors-was summoned to the field.
Cameron stood with Class 15, hands in her pockets, unbothered.
From nearby classes, students whispered and pointed at her.
“That’s Cameron, right?”
“Yeah, that’s him! Such a shame-he’s actually kinda cute.”
“He doesn’t look like it.”
“It’s not like someone’s sexuality is tattooed on their forehead.”
Cameron stood there, unmoved by the stares or the whispers.
Some of the classmates from Class 15 pushed back.
“Shut up. The post was fake.”
Cameron glanced their way and gave a subtle nod of gratitude.
She didn’t care what others thought, but people who spoke up for her deserved acknowledgment.
“Quiet, please.”
Tiana stepped onto the stage, bringing the crowd to order.
Within seconds, the field fell silent.
Then William appeared.
He was rarely seen at full-school gatherings, the last time being when he personally welcomed Cameron back to Langford Academy.
Now he stood before the upright mic, face solemn. “This won’t take long. I just have a few things to say.”
He looked out across the sea of students. “You’ve all probably seen the post from last night. Let me be absolutely clear-the content of that post was completely false.”
Skyler blinked.
She stood in the lineup for Class 4, arms crossed, barely holding back a yawn.
Normally, she hated admin speeches.
But today? She was in a great mood.
She smiled lazily at William, pretending to listen.
But then he said the post was fake.
“What?’
Her smile stiffened. ‘How could he know that?’
Sure, she had posted it based on a photo Avery gave her, but it was definitely close enough to the truth.
So what was this?
Was William actually defending Cameron?
‘Seriously? Cameron? What made him so special?’
While Skyler’s thoughts spiraled, William’s voice rang out again.
“Skyler Young from Class 4, Senior Year deliberately used a personal grudge to fabricate a post. She took a random photo, posted it online, and manipulated the narrative to frame Cameron Wallace from Class 15.”
He let his eyes pass over every student and then spoke again, calm, steady, and impossible to ignore, “Her actions were malicious and inexcusable. Langford Academy will not tolerate this kind of behavior.
“As of now, I am officially announcing-Skyler Young is expelled. Furthermore, she is to apologize to Cameron immediately, right here, in front of everyone.”
Skyler’s eyes went wide.
‘What?! How has it come to this?’
She’d posted anonymously, hidden her IP-how could they possibly know it was her?
‘Expelled? They can’t be serious! Just because they said it was me didn’t make it true!’
As if on cue, the giant screen behind the stage lit up-and played the recording of her earlier conversation with Amelia.
Skyler froze.
Her expression twisted into pure shock.
“That traitor-Amelia has recorded me. She has betrayed me.’
Skyler had never imagined she’d be taken down by her own best friend.
She trembled with fury, practically shaking where she stood.
She wanted nothing more than to lunge at Amelia and tear her apart.
But William’s voice was calm and unwavering. “Skyler, step forward. Apologize to Cameron. Now,
“Skyler, step up and apologize to Cameron-now.”
William’s commanding voice rang across the field.
Skyler froze.
In an instant, hundreds of eyes turned toward her-some full of disgust, others laced with disdain, and a few practically burning with anger.
Skyler turned scarlet.
She gritted her teeth, humiliated and furious.
‘Apologize? Why should I have to apologize? Cameron and Elijah went to a hotel-what I posted was the truth. I have only stated the obvious. Since when is telling the truth a crime?’
Every part of her resisted the idea of apologizing to Cameron. But with all those eyes on her, and with William and Tiana watching from the stage, their expressions heavy with pressure, she had no choice.
She didn’t even remember how she got to the stage.
Standing behind the microphone, she mumbled, “Sorry.”
Tiana frowned. “Skyler, that didn’t sound sincere at all. You need to offer Cameron a proper apology.”
Skyler froze.
‘I have done nothing wrong. Why am I the one being humiliated?’
But when she looked up, William’s cold, unyielding gaze made it clear-she was out of options.
Skyler forced the words out, her voice low and stiff. “Cameron, I’m sorry. I apologize for what I did. I hope you can forgive me.”
But Cameron wasn’t even listening.
