Chapter 325
Everyone was shocked and did not know how to react. They could only look at Russell and Bonnie in disbelief. The students and Paul did not understand why Russell, the president of Pyralis University, would involve a student in an executive decision.
Everyone in the room even wondered if they had misheard Russell’s question.
‘Has Mr. Russell always been so accommodating?‘
‘He’s devoid of any ego presidents usually have.’
Trina froze, terrified, as she glared at Bonnie.
The latter grew exasperated as she whispered to Russell, “Just deal with it as you see fit. Why’d you ask me that?‘
He whispered back, “You’re the future of this university. Who else can make this call?”
Bonnie did not know what to say at that moment. Soon after, she said, “I don’t recall
agreeing to that.”
“It’s okay. I’ll take that as a yes.”
Bonnie was utterly speechless now. She would have rolled her eyes at him if it were not for the people around them. Moreover, she was on the verge of calling him out for being
shameless.
She said, “You’re the university’s president. You don’t have to ask for my input. Just deal with it as you see fit, Mr. Russell.”
Russell responded firmly, “If that’s the case, I’ll announce on the university’s official Twitter account that I’ve expelled Trina.”
“P–Please don’t! I beg you not to do it, Mr. Russell! I swear I won’t repeat my mistakes!” No matter how much Trina pleaded, he would not budge. She realized Russell would not go
soft on her and turned to Paul.
“Professor, you have to help me! I have a bright future ahead. I know I’ll make considerable contributions to the science world. I’ll always remember that you’re my mentor.”
Paul was in a dilemma. “Here’s the thing, Russell-
“One more word, and I’ll fire you!” Russell was unaware of how long Paul had worked at
Pyralis University, so he hesitated to fire him.
Meanwhile, the latter reddened with anger.
“He might be the university president, but I have tricks up my sleeves. I’ll contact my old friend who works at Bonita Research Institute tomorrow. If Ms. Bonita appreciates a
talented future researcher like Trina, Russell must respect the nation’s leading researcher
and keep Trina in the university.
Gresham and Vera gloomily sat at the dining table but had utterly lost their appetite. The
former exclaimed, “Gah! What’ll we do about Trina’s future now?!”
“It’s all Bonnie’s fault! She’s such a pain in the ass. I told you she brings nothing but bad
luck!”
‘Damn it! Trina has a bright future ahead, but Bonnie ruined it for good.‘
Gresham massaged his temples and said, “You can’t pin everything on Bonnie. Trina made a mistake, too. How could she do something like that in Pyralis University?”
Trina’s eyes swelled from crying so much. “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. I just couldn’t stand how Bonnie treated you. Th–that’s why I let anger cloud my judgment and made a mistake.
Please forgive me.”
Vera felt heartbroken to see her precious daughter cry again. She embraced Trina and patted her back, saying, ‘It’ll be okay, Trina. You’re not the wrong one. I blame Bonnie. After all, you were just trying to stand up for us.”
