The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 230 Elegant Angel

"She’s late." Amy’s face was ugly as she looked at the huge wooden door of the small hall. She eyed the clock. Two minutes before three in the afternoon. "We need to start at three, I still have an appointment at four." She said.

"It’s not yet, three. What are you so worried about?" Jen responded. She looked at Amy’s current red dress wondering if she was here to have a date instead of some confrontation. The low cut of the dress was telling her that Amy was here hoping that Mo Li would join this hearing. Of course, Jen was already aware that Mo Li won’t be joining. She gave the woman a smug grin.

"Why are you smiling at me like that?"

Jen turned her head towards the door and expected Bella to walk in any time now. Bella never liked to attract any attention to herself but this should be an exemption. Just as she expected, Bella indeed walked inside the room just as the time turned three. Perfect timing. Jen couldn’t help but grin. She would have clapped her hands in excitement, but she couldn’t really act like that in front of everyone else.

Amy rolled her eyes but said nothing. Today, she was already to win this complaint and make it known to everyone that Bella was fired because of misconduct. How could Amy let Bella just leave without having a record like this?

"Good Afternoon," Bella started. She looked at the head and everyone inside the room before she took her seat. Her face was calm without an iota of fear or panic on it. Seeing this, Amy only sneered inwardly.

She always hated how Bella would always act so superior by acting so calm and collected every single time. She hated how fake she was. She hated how Bella would only give a slight knowing smile as if she already knows her real goal. She hated everything about this woman.

Because of that, she decided to go all out and remove this woman’s mask in front of everyone. She wanted Bella to show her real self by embarrassing her. "Miss Qin, I never expected that you would actually waste everyone’s time in coming here. I already told you that I am willing to forgive you and forget everything as long as you apologize to me. And yet, you actually sent an email to all department head and other board members of the university. Why are you blowing up such things when it was you who made a mistake?"

"Miss Sy, " Bella responded with a sweet smile. "Did a donkey hit your head?" she mocked.

"You— "

"Enough!" The head said, his face was dark as she looked at Bella. "I heard about the student’s claims before this started. They stated that they saw everything that happened. Sadly, this happened in an area where the CCTV was not working. So, we can’t review any footage. But since you insisted that you are innocent, I would listen to your side."

"Thank you." Bella nodded. "Miss Amy Sy had been the target of bullying since she came here. Every other week, Miss Sy always has these complaints about her being bullied. Don’t you find this a little disturbing? How could the school tolerate such acts? Most importantly, how could Miss Amy attract all this bully when she was the model professor who does nothing wrong?"

"Miss Qin, I don’t see the reason why you are bringing this up?" The head looked at her. Of course, he understood what she meant. He was perfectly aware of Amy’s illogical actions but what can he do about it? Amy’s father could easily ask the board to fire him!

"Simple." Bella smiled. "We all know how Miss Amy is using her father’s influence to do all this, and yet, we are not doing anything. I think— "

"Slander!" Amy yelled. "Miss Qin, why are you saying nonsense about my father? I am sure you are aware that I can use these statements against you, right? I can sue you for saying something that could hurt my father’s reputation."

"Then sue me." Bella smiled as she suddenly opened her laptop. "I can prove that you were the ones who bullied me. You use your father’s name to threaten me and my job." Bella said. She wasn’t here to prolong any conversation. She was actually in a hurry so she could pack her stuff and go to the main city with Mo Li.

"You— " Before Amy could say another word, Bella already pressed the enter button of her laptop. Amy’s words echoed inside the small hall.

["Oh? Why Bella? Are you planning to tell everyone that I grabbed your arm, again? You think they will believe you?"]

["You think they would dare post those videos? Did you forget who my father is?"]

["Of course, he does. Everyone here knows that. You know that my father could ask the board in this school to fire you anytime, right? I mean... Did you think the Qin Family would help you out?"]

Bella pressed enter, stopping the audio. Then she smiled at the pale Amy. "I don’t know about you Miss Sy, but... I am sure the mayor or even the vice mayor is not going to be happy that a recording like this fell into the hands of the Mo Family, right?"

"You—" Amy’s eyes were so wide, her lips trembling as her face turned whiter than a sheet of paper. "You recorded me?"

"So, you accept that it was you," Bella said shortly as she stood and look at the head. "I understand politics in every institution. I am not threatening anyone here. This conversation is also recorded to protect myself from anyone that would dare turn my words against me." She looked at the other people inside the room. "My resignation is effective today. Thank you so much for creating such a healthy environment for me to pursue my passion. I hope you will protect the other teachers from the real bully, next time."

"Miss Qin! That— That record was illegal! How could you— " Amy stood from her seat.

"How could I what? Defend myself? Do you think accidentally pressing the record button of my phone was illegal?"

"You— "

"Yes, I am indeed shameless," Bella smirked. Amy cannot actually do anything against her now that she already involved the Mo Family in this matter. Of course, she was only bluffing. Mo Li doesn’t have a copy of the audio yet. Bella was only creating the foundation of the lies that she would soon create to help Mo Li out on his campaign against the Qin Family.

Seeing the other directors just stared at her in disbelief, Bella shrugged and grabbed her laptop before saying, "If I ended up dead tomorrow, the audio will magically be released in the public." She stopped walking as she stood by the door and looked at Amy. "How scary would that be for you and your father? I mean... If the audio will suddenly show up in the social media tonight with the list of competent professors that was fired for bullying you... what do you think would happen to this university?" Her glance roamed towards the other heads. "How could a reputable university tolerate someone who doesn’t even have a proper doctorate degree and only got inside because of her influence?"

"Miss Qin, this university accepted you when the Qin Family threw you out.�� The head managed to say after a few seconds of silence. "Are you really going to do this to us?"

Bella sneered inwardly. "And yet, you were already thinking of firing me instead of giving me a graceful exit before I even arrived in this hall. You knew how important this is for me. A termination would forever hurt my resume, and yet you actually considered doing such a thing to avoid trouble. Did you think I would go easy on you and everyone else?"

She squinted. Before coming here, Mo Li had actually warned her that the board might have already reached a decision to fire her instead of accepting her resignation. This made her feel a little irritated. Bella had a spotless resume. She was smart who graduated top of her class, and yet this person would actually dare to choose Amy because of her influential father?

Well, she only said two words to Mo Li. And that is ’Screw them’.

Screw her acting as the real Bella. She was not suited to be this elegant angel. She wanted to show these people that screwing with her was just as bad as opening the gates of hell. Of course, before Bella did all this, she already had a plan to expose this blatant favoritism of the university to Amy.

"Now..." She smiled. "Please excuse me. I still needed to do a lot of packing." She held her head high as she turned around and left the room leaving Jen smiling from ear to ear and Amy’s ugly face.
