Rising to her feet, Victoria confronted the principal directly, Mr. Ramsey, please be straightforward.
Upon seeing her reaction, the principals expression soured.
He had intended to negotiate with Bryson to avoid a scene. The prospect of police extracting her from class would certainly provoke rumors, potentially involving the school and drawing unwanted attention from the Archer family.
Though Bryson had initially acquiesced to his request, Victorias resistance was unexpected.
Unable to maintain his composure, the principal snapped, Miss Archer, come out right now!
Victoria felt her irritation rise. Her fathers substantial donations to the school were meant to ensure her well-being.
Why then was the principal treating her this way?
Was it possible that Bryson had influenced him with a more attractive offer to act against her?
Visibly annoyed and standing her ground by her desk, she retorted, Mr. Ramsey, whatever you need to say can be said here. Whats so pressing that it cant be discussed in front of everyone else?
Curiosity piqued, the other students shifted their attention to the principal.
Leaning casually against the wall outside the classroom, Bryson overheard Victorias defiant response and allowed himself a cold smile.
He had already extended some courtesy to the principal, so there was no point in prolonging the matter.
He signaled to his lawyer with a hand gesture.

Understanding immediately, the lawyer entered the classroom.
Apologies, Miss, but youve posted defamatory remarks on the school forum that meet the threshold for legal action. My client has filed a lawsuit against you. Please cooperate with the investigation, the lawyer stated clearly.
Following his statement, two policewomen approached Victoria, repeating, Please cooperate with the investigation.
It was only then that Victorias confidence wavered, and she began to tremble with fear.
She was terrified. Hadnt she expected the principal to simply ask her to delete the forum post? Why were the police involved?
I Victoria faltered, gripping her resolve. My father is the CEO of Archer Entertainment! How dare you arrest me! I will have my father and my lawyer intervene!
Behind her, several students snickered and whispered among themselves.
Can the head of an entertainment company get her out of this?
She always claims others use their connections. She mentions her dad all the time. Surely, shes no different.
Shes just a rich girl, so arrogant.
Victoria heard their comments but was too overwhelmed to respond.
