Unexpectedly, she felt a sharp slap across her face. She hadnt anticipated that her father would hit her, and she stumbled to the floor in shock. Her face burned as she looked up at Rex, tears streaming down her face.
Dad! You hit me?! Why did you hit me?
Rex glared down at her, frustration evident in his tone. Do you realize the mess youve caused? If we hadnt settled this, would your mother and I be visiting you in prison?
It was the first time Rex had ever been so furious with her.
Victoria trembled in fear. She covered her face with her hands, her eyes filled with grievance and resentment. She started it. She humiliated me first!

Rex then turned his displeasure towards Hannah, accusing, Youre a teacher. You shouldnt be getting involved in disputes with a student, right?
I really dont want any conflict with her. Despite her repeatedly causing trouble, Ive never sought to humiliate her, Hannah responded calmly.
Victoria, still on the floor, lifted her head and cried out hysterically, covering her face. Youre lying! You embarrassed me at the club.
That happened because you made a bet, insisting that the other girl had to clean the mens restroom for a month if she lost. The male star you bet on didnt show up, leaving you embarrassed. I only warned you not to go to the club to avoid further embarrassment. How is that me humiliating you?
Upon hearing this, those present quickly understood that Victoria had been stirring up trouble without cause. Rexs expression grew even darker. The mention of the bet and the male star reminded him of how Victoria had asked Pierson to meet her recently.

Frustrated, Rex snapped, No wonder Piersons studio has cut back on working with our company. Its all because of your actions! Havent I told you not to use the companys resources to show off? Have you forgotten everything?
His temper was fierce, and his words left Victoria trembling, her earlier defiance completely evaporated.
Seeing her shaken, Rexs tone softened slightly. Theyve agreed to settle this time, but you need to upload an apology video to the school forum.
No way! Victoria screamed in hysteria. I cant post that video! It would turn me into a laughingstock at school. Dad, I just cant do it! I cant humiliate myself like that!
Rex rubbed his forehead wearily and declared, Ive decided that you wont go to school for now. After you post the apology video, I1L arrange for your transfer.
Dad Victoria was stunned. She couldnt fathom why her father would choose to transfer her rather than defend her.
Enough! Thats final! If you dont want to transfer, you can stay at Halliday University! If you refuse to apologize, I wont be able to protect you when the Mitchell Group sues you! Rex shouted.
Tears rolled down Victorias cheeks as she pleaded, Wheres my Mom? I want my Mom.
Rex responded with an icy tone, Its no use calling for your Mom. Ive made up my mind, and even she wont change it! Now, decide. Will you apologize, or will you stay here?
His stern gaze made Victoria recoil, stepping back in shock.
Thankfully, someone caught her, preventing another fall.
Glaring bitterly at Hannah, Victoria realized she had no other options left. She had been thoroughly defeated. Reluctantly, she agreed, Ill delete all the posts on the forum, make an apology video, and leave the school.
Relieved yet stern, Rex said, Lets go. Come back with me.
Wait! Hannah interjected. May I speak with Victoria alone for a moment?
