Chapter 346
“What the hell…”
What’s going on?
There weren’t reporters frantically asking questions like I’d imagined, no chaos, no urgency. The room was full of people, but it was eerily silent!
Everyone was curiously looking inside. Keira sensed that something was wrong. She let go of Lance’s arm and nervously walked into the room. As she passed the reporters and got to the front, her tense and expectant face gradually turned pale.
She even took two steps back in disbelief, her face growing even paler.
And the principal, who had been pushed to the front by the reporters, stood rigidly as if his feet were nailed to the floor. His legs were shaking, his lips trembling, and he couldn’t utter a word.
“Wow, this is quite a scene. I never thought our card game could make headlines!”
Kane leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and toyed with a few playing cards. His handsome face was full of interest, but many people could sense the anger in his words
“I didn’t expect playing cards would get this much attention either. If I’d known, I would have turned down a few jobs and played cards with you guys more often.”
The girl across from Kane, Danielle, also laughed. Her voice was soft and calm, conveying a cool and elegant image. She spoke and gave Keira a gentle smile with her lovely eyes.
Keira’s face stiffened and turned even paler.
She had planned to catch Chase in her room, but..
She walked in to find this scene!
At the head of the room, directly facing the door, Damon sat in his impeccably tailored black suit, which, along with his matching shirt, emphasized his dignified and composed demeanor
His remarkably handsome features were as sharp as if they’d been carved by a knife, his deep-set eyes enigmatic.
He sat there quietly, exuding an extraordinarily strong presence.
“Mr. Harper…”
The principal, standing to the side, stammered out these words after trembling for a while.
Damon, slowly arranging a few cards in his hand, paused when he heard the voice.
Those in the front row took two steps back because of this subtle movement.
His downcast eyes slowly lifted, his gaze cold as it swept over Keira….
Keira’s heart pounded in her chest. Seeing Damon’s gaze, she forced a smile, showing this distinguished, handsome man her best smile. Yet his expression remained unchanged, his gaze shifting to the principal beside him.
“Well… did you find what you’re looking for?”
At this, the principal’s face turned even paler.
“Mr. Harper… this is a misunderstanding… a misunderstanding…”
“A misunderstanding?”
Damon nodded slightly, his tone indifferent. The principal seemed to breathe easier.
“Which part was misunderstood?”
The principal felt a wave of anxiety, the atmosphere becoming oppressively tense.
“I… I misunderstood Chloe…”
-Damon’s face was expressionless as he continued to probe: “Anything else?”
“I didn’t know you were in the room, and you are not as I said…”
