Chapter 57 Did Mr. Fletcher Register
Ruby looked at Penny scornfully with a kind of vicious satisfaction upon her face.
Penny found it absurd.
"A student of our school slandered me, but Ms. Bender, as the director, Ms. Bender is going to kick me
out without investigation. Is this the way things are done at this university? There are a lot of investors
here today. Ms. Bender, can you afford to take the blame?"
Fiona blanched.
There were indeed a lot of investors among the people watching the exhibition, and it would affect the
university's reputation if this got out of hand.
But Ruby raised her chin unforgivingly. "The investors are all sensible and should know that this is not
the school's fault. The school is supposed to uphold justice and set an example for students. Now that
you stole my bracelet, punishing you will only reinforce our belief in the school's principles. Don't try to
intimidate us with the investors. Ms. Bender, I think we can kick her out now."
Ruby was not at all frightened. After all, the Bender family wasn't exactly a powerful family. Moreover,
the Bender family was going to collaborate with the Foster family. All in all, Fiona should butter Ruby for
the sake of the Bender family.
A shade of sarcasm crossed Fiona's eyes. Fiona was not afraid of Penny threatening her with that
video. After all, Fiona had a video of Penny being groped by a man. Fiona and Penny were sort of
holding each other back.
Besides, it was not Fiona who was causing Penny trouble, but the lady from the Foster family, Ruby.
After Ruby finished speaking, she looked at Clark.
"Clark, as you can see, she's sticky-fingered. You have to be a little careful. Who knows if she gets
close to you because of your money?"
Ruby didn't politely address Clark as Mr. Mckay, but called Clark by his first name. It was obvious that
Ruby and Clark were well acquainted with each other.
Clark thought it was time for him to talk Ruby out of it, so as to win Penny over. However, Chace
suddenly showed up and walked toward them at this point.
Chace was over fifty and shrewd. He frowned when he saw the crowd here and noticed that the Foster
family was involved.
"What's wrong? Fiona, what are you doing standing here? Isn't there an honored guest who wants you Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
to lead the way?"
Chace was rushing out to greet his honored guest and just passed through.
Chace looked at Ruby. "Ruby, what happened?"
All people present could tell that Chace's tone softened a lot.
Ruby grunted and pointed her finger at Penny.
"She stole my bracelet right in front of all these people, and I hope the school can do me justice."
Chace looked at Penny, found out that she was not his acquaintance, and waved his hand impatiently.
"Where are the bouncers? You have the bouncers kick her out and take her to the police. Hurry up.
Don't waste everyone's time for a stranger."
Penny wasn't surprised to see the familiar face and the ways he handled things.
Chace acquiesced to Fiona's behavior in order to climb the ladder of power.
Chace and Fiona hadn't changed at all over the last couple of years.
Fiona felt so good. A lot of people were watching this and wanted to see how Penny would end up.
Penny quit painting and became a designer, but so what? Penny's reputation was in tatters, and she
was probably losing her job.
Fiona turned to look at Penny, trying to detect the slightest hint of annoyance or fear on her face.
But there was no such expression on Penny's face. Penny even laughed softly.
"Call the police. I don't think the school has the authority to exercise the duties of a police officer, does
it? Besides, the jury's still out on this issue. The prestigious Chatville University can't convict someone
based on the words of its own students. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Hardy?"
Chace was extremely impatient. "Everyone who enters the school today needs to sign in, and those
who didn't will be thrown out."
"The school didn't ask for registration when I came in. Chatville University has held so many art
exhibitions, none of which requires visitors to sign in. Is that a special rule this year?"
"Yes, we're just following the rule. You can go. Campus security, I need you guys to throw her out."
Chace didn't want to waste time here and looked at his watch. He had to greet his honored guest.
Penny didn't pay Chace a second glance. Her gaze fell on Mr. Fletcher, who was a few meters behind
Chace and inquired with a smile.
"Mr. Fletcher, have you registered?"
