A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 216

"It's from Mr. Charles," Jacob instinctively reported.

Derek looked up. "What is it?"

"He sent me a video… and told me to expel some people, " Jacob said, his voice trembling slightly.

Another problem?

Derek glanced at Jacob's phone screen. "Play it."

Jacob quickly tapped on the video.

Immediately, a conversation between several girls filled the car, their voices sharp and grating.

The more Derek listened, the deeper his frown became.

Jacob wished he could shrink into a corner and disappear from Derek's sight.

"These are the students you've been educating? Spreading disgusting rumors about a female classmate without knowing a damn thing?"

Derek's voice wasn't loud, but the weight behind his words made it hard for Jacob to breathe.

"I'll have them all expelled as soon as I get back," Jacob said hastily.

…

After lunch, students gradually returned to their classrooms.

Ana and her group entered almost simultaneously as Demi, Charles, and the others.

Charles glanced at Ana and her friends, his expression unreadable.

Ana sat at her desk for a moment before standing up and walking toward the back of the room, stopping beside Demi's desk.

Demi kept her head down, focused on her book.

But Ana wasn't there for her. She hesitated, then looked at Charles. "Mr. Fuller, I want to talk to you."

Charles was already irritated with Ana. Without even looking up, he replied coldly, "Go ahead."

"Can we talk outside?" Ana asked awkwardly.

Charles suddenly lifted his head, shooting her a sharp look. "So you expect me to roll my wheelchair outside just to have a chat with you? Do you think you're that important?"

Usually, Charles wouldn't be this harsh to a classmate. But after hearing Ana and her friends gossiping about Demi and Felix, his patience had already run out.
