Chapter 128
Earlier in the girls' dorm, Harrison had attempted to explain herself to Nathaniel.
He cut her off before she could even start. His angry rant left no room for her defense. By the time he finished, the sparkle had vanished from her eyes.
Nathaniel felt a brief pang of regret.
But it disappeared as quickly as it came, replaced by a derisive snort. Harrison had brought this upon herself. She'd barely settled into Willowridge University when that notorious playboy Julian Ashford started pursuing her.
Nathaniel had seen the hunger in Julian's gaze. As a man, he recognized it instantly - this wasn't mere interest. Julian was genuinely smitten.
If Harrison had simply apologized and acted cute, Julian would have forgiven her immediately. Nathaniel's intervention wouldn't have been necessary.
The thought darkened his mood further.
This little vixen... she attracted men like moths to a flame. He hadn't sent her here to date. She was supposed to be studying.
If she dared get involved in any romantic entanglements, he'd make sure she regretted it!
His sharp gaze turned to his secretary. "Dominic, you seem quite fond of Harrison, don't you?"
Dominic had been showing her favoritism for weeks now.
Dominic immediately stiffened. "Mr. Falcon, I simply believe Mrs. Falcon... is perfectly suited for you."
Nathaniel's lips curled into a cold smirk.
More and more people around him were favoring Harrison. What spell had she cast on everyone?
After ending her call with Isabella, Arabella checked the time. Harrison should have been packing her bags by now, expelled from Willowridge University.
Just then, she spotted Julian. His parents were ushering him into their luxury car, all three looking utterly defeated.
"Mr. Ashford!" Arabella called out, shocked. She hurried forward. "Mr. Ashford, why are you leaving? Shouldn't Harrison be the one going?"
Had something gone wrong? Was there a mistake?
Ding!
Her phone buzzed with a notification from the Willowridge University forum. The new post was titled: [Campus Bully Gets Brutal Comeuppance After Sexual Harassment Attempt].
Attached was a six-second video showing Harrison yanking Julian's hair, slamming him to the ground, and delivering punch after punch.
The post went viral instantly, flooding with comments.
[OMG! Is that Julian Ashford getting his ass kicked?]
[I can't help but laugh! Usually it's Julian beating others up. First time seeing him get destroyed!]
[Wait - that's the Sleep Goddess Harrison doing the beating?]
[Damn, Harrison looks absolutely stunning! Like an actual goddess!]
[She's way more beautiful than our so-called campus belle Arabella.]
[New campus belle alert! Move over Arabella, Harrison's taking the crown!]
Arabella's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. The situation had completely backfired.
Not only was Harrison not expelled, but Julian had fled in disgrace.
The entire incident was trending on the school forum, with Harrison being celebrated for taking down the campus bully.
Worse yet, Harrison's beauty was now being compared to hers, threatening Arabella's status as campus belle.
This couldn't stand.
Arabella immediately logged into her alternate account "Helen's Rival" and posted:
[Harrison doesn't hold a candle to Arabella! Arabella isn't just beautiful - she's kind-hearted and an incredible dancer. Harrison's just some country bumpkin who can't compare!]
