---- Chapter 3 Rose snorted. "I see. You have the chancellor backing you up, huh? That's why you're acting so smug and arrogant. If the other colleges found out that the chancellor's daughter is a master at extorting money from other people, they would probably laugh until their sides hurt! This news might even go viral online. " Ms. Lewis whipped her head around and wagged a finger at Rose as she snapped shrilly, ''You shut your mouth! I expect a 3000-word self-reflection essay from you too! At once!" After looking at Rose, Ivy, and me, Ms. Lewis declared ina righteous tone, "Lisa has evidence to validate her medical bills. Since you lot did something wrong, you should shoulder the consequences by paying the compensation! "This is the first lesson of adulthood that you need to learn as college students. This is what it means to be socially responsible adults! To be accountable for your actions!" ---- Eyeing Ms. Lewis with an unreadable smile, I asked, " You're saying that Lisa is the chancellor's daughter, right? And because of that, she can do whatever she wants, even twist the truth around to suit her purpose?" Lisa arrogantly declared, "I kept it from you guys because I didn't want to give you added pressure, but I didn't expect you three to bully me like this! You've gone too far!" Rubbing my nose, I retorted in contempt, "I'm not writing the self-reflection, and I won't be paying any compensation either. Go ahead and get the chancellor to expel me if you can."

He simply agreed to give me my mother's last name because he thought it sounded nicer. Why would I be afraid of Lisa, who was lying about being the chancellor's daughter? ---- Ms. Lewis didn't expect me to take this attitude with her. Turning pale with fury, she roared at me, "I don't even need to get the chancellor involved to get you expelled! I can do it myself!" Whoa. She was threatening me with her authority, huh? Well, not only did she fail to frighten me, but I didn't even turn around to give her a second look. I dragged Rose and Ivy off with me, leaving Ms. Lewis behind to stomp her feet in anger. Once we were out of her office, Ivy tugged on my sleeve gingerly and said, "Celia, I think you're being too impulsive... Even though none of us are at fault, Lisa's father is still the chancellor. What if she gets him to expel you? Why don't we give in to her and apologize?" "Give in to her? Never!" Rose declared in anger. Smiling, I declared, "You don't need to. Nothing's going to happen to any one of us, not with me around.
