Chapter 14: School Violence

Heidi's POV

It's already noon, and I just arrived at school from the hospital. I received a message from Ethan that he would pick me up after school.

I went directly to the lecture, but I felt something weird. Everyone is looking at me. Why?

After I reached the room, I saw my table with writings on it. Gold digger. Bitch. Slut. Who wrote this on my table? I looked around and saw everyone laughing at me.

I tried to remove it with alcohol, but it's not working. After a few minutes, our professor came in and started the lesson. I will ignore it. I don't have the time to play with their childish act.

After the class, I immediately walked out of the class. *splash* A bucket of water fell on me from the top of the door. My bag, my phone, my notes, everything was wet.

I tried to calm myself, but someone pulled my hair. "Does it feel good, Heidi?" It's Sheira again. What does she want now?

"I tried to escape from her grip, but I couldn't. Her two friends, Ella and Kiera, joined her and slapped me on my face.

"Let me go, bitches." I yelled at them, but they wouldn't let go.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Sheira said and laughed. He pulled me to the toilet with my hair and went to the sink.

He dunked my head into the pool of water from the sink. "You're a gold digger. I am the one perfect for him. We are both rich and pretty. Unlike you." She said and continuously dunked my face on the sink.

"Let her go." I heard someone shout at the door. Sheira let go of my hair and stepped back.

I lost my balance and fell to the floor. I started crying, but I felt someone wrap his arms around me.

Ethan's POV

It's been fifteen minutes since I reached Heidi's university, but she's not yet coming. However, I heard some of the students were watching something.

"Isn't she Heidi Mills Griffin?" One of the male students said to his co-student.

I borrowed his phone and looked at the video. It is Heidi.

Her female classmates were bullying her. Since Max, Wolf, and Brent were with me, I waved at them to come with me.

We went inside the school and immediately looked for her. Instead, we found a crowd in front of a toilet. I asked Max and Wolf to block the phones of those taking a video, and I ran to the bathroom entrance.

"Let her go," I yelled at the three ladies who were bullying Heidi. Finally, the blonde lady let go of Heidi's hair and stepped back.

Heidi lost her balance and fell to the floor. I went to her and hugged her as she started crying. "Who are you? Why are you doing this to her?" I shouted at them. They looked shocked and were unable to respond.

"Are you crazy? You're bullying an innocent person." I added. They looked at me and laughed.

"Innocent? No, she's not. She's a gold digger and a bitch." She replied. My blood is boiling from anger.

I walked near her and whispered to her ears. "Don't you dare touch, Heidi. You don't know what might happen. She's mightier than you." I said.

"I won't let this slide. Don't forget that." I said and went back to Heidi. "Let's go," I said to Heidi and carried her.

"Max, set up a meeting with the Dean. Wolf and Brent, I need the names involved in this bullying." So I ordered them and went to the parking lot.

I put Heidi down and gave her a towel. I comforted her, but she couldn't stop crying.

"Why? What's wrong with me? I am not a gold digger. I never do that." She said while crying. I hugged her to comfort her.

I received a message from Max. Today at 5:30 pm. Dean's office. I looked at the time on my phone, and it was already 4:30 pm.

"Heidi, we have to go. I'll drop you home." She nodded at me and sat inside the car.

I arrived at the university at 5:15 pm after I dropped her off home. I went directly to the Dean's office and saw Max, Brent, and Wolf waiting for me.

"Aunt Seraphin," I called the lady standing at the back of Max facing the wall. She looked at me and welcomed me with a big hug. It's been a long time since the last time I saw her.

"My Hijo, Ethan." She replied. "It's been a long time. Have a seat, everyone!" She said and sat on the center couch.

"Why are you here?" She asked. I looked at Wolf and asked him to show the video.

"Because of that. The victim is my lady assistant." She looked at me with a malicious smile. "It's not what you think," I said.

"It's not like you, Hijo; you never meddled in someone's issue." She said. "What do you want to do with them?" She asked me again.

"I want you to expel them. I know you can contact every university here and overseas. Block them from being accepted." I said.

"But Ethan, don't you know that their fathers are university investors? So I can't do things that can harm the school." She said, and I understood her.

"Don't you know who she is?" I asked her. All of them looked at my side.

"She is the only daughter of Jones Carter, the owner of HMGC hospital. She doesn't know it, but I have the DNA proof." All of them were shocked except Max.

"Isn't he the top investor? You can make a choice. Expel them or let go of your top investor?" I said. "One more thing. Don't let her know about her father." I added and walked out of the room, leaving my aunt with the other three.

Heidi's POV

After Ethan dropped me home, I went inside, took a shower, then changed my clothes. I couldn't believe what was happening. I hope Hadley and mom won't see it.

I don't want to go to school anymore. It was too embarrassing. If I am rich as they are, I will sue them, but I know for sure that I will not win. They've got their father's back.

"Heidi." Wait. That was Hadley, knocking on my door. I opened it, and I saw Gelo was waiting too. Hadley hugged me tightly.

"Are you okay? What happened? Why did they do something horrible?" She asked. I hold her arms and face her.

"I am fine, Hadley. Don't worry. I don't care about what they are saying." I replied to her.

"Did you report it?" She asked. "No. Ethan dropped me off after what happened." I said.

"I heard they were getting expelled?" Gelo said. "Huh? But how? Their fathers were school investors." I replied to him. He shrugged his shoulder as a response.

"It turns out that your boss and Dean were relative. So, maybe he uses his relationship with the Dean to expel them." He replied. What? This is new to me. He never said that he had a connection with the school dean.

"But are you sure you're okay, Mills? Don't you have any injuries and scratches?" He said and turned my body left and right.

"Yes, I am sure. Aside from pulling my hair and dunking my face onto the sink, nothing more happened." I replied and smiled at them.

"Don't tell mom about this, Hadley. I don't want her to get worried." I said to her and hugged her again.

"Gelo, it's late already. can you drop Hadley to the hospital?" I asked him, and he nodded as a response. I sent them to the front door and waved goodbye before they left.

The next day.

I woke up at 6 am and prepared my things before heading out. I planned to visit mom before going to school. I hope nothing happens today.

I arrived at the hospital at 8 am. First, I gave Hadley their breakfast. Then I talked to my mom's doctor. Fortunately, mom is all fine now, and we can bring her home tomorrow afternoon. After talking to the doctor, I went to the ward and grabbed my things.

"Hadley, mom, I have to go. I have a class at 9:30 am." I said and kissed their forehead.

I was waiting for a taxi when I saw Ethan's car. I knocked on his window, but I was shocked. A pink-haired lady was sitting in the driver's seat, and Ethan was nowhere.

"Are you Heidi?" She asked after opening the window. I nodded at her.

"Get in. Ethan asked me to pick and drop you off at the university." She said while showing me Ethan's message to her.

Since she was using Ethan's car and she looked like Ethan so much, I went with her.

"Who are you?" I asked her, but she just smiled at me. "I will tell you later at school." She said and focused on driving.

After 15 minutes, we arrived at the university. I saw three sports cars parked at the entrance.

She blew the car horn, and the other three followed us. Huh? Did the guard just let them in without checking? Who are they?

After reaching the school's open ground, we went out of the car. Oh my gosh, even the other drivers were all ladies and all pretty.

"Lead us to your lecture room." Said the lady who picked me.

What are they doing? These four ladies are weird. Hopefully, they don't make a scene.
