Chapter 1168: 309: Don't stoop to her level_1 Chapter 1168: 309: Don't stoop to her level_1 They were taken aback by the principal's words.
Gavin froze.
Evelyn froze too.
Expulsion?
She never dreamed that this would be serious enough to warrant expulsion.
Her face turned pale.
It was only now that she realized.
Diana Hershey and Viola Thompson could really be good friends.
If it wasn't for Viola Thompson, the principal's reaction wouldn't be so strong.
What should she do now?
Evelyn bit her lip.
Gavin was almost crying, “Principal Phils, considering the many years I've worked at school, won't you give me another chance! I can assure you that nothing like this will ever happen again.”
Charles Linstad frowned, “It's because you've worked at the school for many years that I'm asking you to resign.”
There's a difference between firing and resigning.
If he were fired, his teaching career would be stained forever.
This was Charles Linstad's last shred of dignity for Gavin.
After speaking, Charles Linstad paused, and continued, “You couldn't even achieve the most basic fairness. You are unfit to be a teacher! If Miss Thompson hadn't stepped in this time, how would you have handled this? A talented student almost left our school all because of you! Gavin, since you made a mistake, you should face the consequences.”
If not for Viola Thompson standing up for Diana, Diana would have had to swallow this injustice.
Pondering over it was horrifying.
Plus, this was just the part that was uncovered.
Who knows if there were any other students who suffered the same in the past.
“Principal Phils, I beg you, give me another chance!”
Although being fired and resigning on your own aren't the same, if you leave of your own accord, the school will still verify the reason for leaving when you seek new employment.
After all, he had worked at Capital University for over twenty years already!
Charles Linstad said, “I'm just following the school's regulations.”
This was to set an example.
If he truly gave Gavin another chance this time, other people might follow suit in the future.
After finishing his sentence, Charles Linstad continued, “I still have matters to attend to. You both can go home and prepare. The official document will be released by the school tomorrow!”
“It's unfair, Principal! This is unfair!” Evelyn shouted in anger, “Principal Phils, how can you say that I plagiarized? Do you have any proof?”
If no one can prove that she plagiarized, then she's innocent!
And Charles Linstad had no right to expel her!
Charles Linstad pounded on the table, “Do you think the evidence Diana prepared was insufficient? She could prove the project was her own work! Can you?”
At this point, it was unbelievable that Evelyn still did not recognize her mistake!
If the thesis really was Evelyn's own work, she would not be this desperate.
Gavin knew that at this moment he couldn't let Evelyn make a fuss in front of the principal. After all, the person who had championed Diana's cause was Viola Thompson.
Also.
The issue did lie with Evelyn to begin with.
If the argument continued, the one who would lose would still be Evelyn.
Gavin apologized repeatedly, “I apologize Principal Phils, Evelyn is still young, please don't take her impertinence to heart! I will get her out of here immediately.”
After saying this, he immediately dragged Evelyn out of the principal's office.
As he watched Gavin and Evelyn's retreating forms, Charles Linstad's brows furrowed deeply. He beckoned his assistant over, “Gehret, go to the Dean's Office, ask the Dean to come here.”
“Okay.”
Once they left the office, Evelyn still displayed an air of discontentment on her face. She'd worked so hard to gain admission to Capital University, only to be inexplicably expelled!
She'd never heard of anyone being expelled for plagiarizing a paper.
Was it just because Diana knew Viola Thompson?
This wasn't fair!
Evelyn looked at Gavin, “Uncle Gavin, what should we do now? I can't be expelled!”
She couldn't let her education stop at high school.
