Avalon Tech is one of the most prominent companies in the state. They've never lost a legal case before."100 billion dollars!" Mr. Stephen exclaimed.Mr. Russell shook his head in disbelief. "This is serious."Ms. Deborah's hands trembled as she held the email.Mr. Stephen frowned. "This has to be addressed quickly."Mr. Russell said. "We can't afford to lose to them. Let's make sure we have a plan to mitigate their losses and reason with them."Ms. Deborah continued, "Next, from Stellar Innovations: 'The suspension of our agreement has caused a major disruption in our supply chain. We expect Miles Empire to cover the additional costs incurred. Failure to do so will result in legal proceedings.'""Stellar Innovations is one of our main supply chain," Mr. Russell said. "We can't ignore their demands too.""Then we have to negotiate with them," Mr. Stephen replied. "Find a way to cover those costs or at least share the burden."Ms. Deborah read the next complaint, "This one is from Hor
The next day at Blue Hill College the students and faculty gathered in the auditorium. Whispers and murmurs were heard through the room as everyone awaited the start of the hearing.The administrators sat at the front, their expressions serious as they prepared to address the accusations against Franklin Miles.The dean of students, Dr. Robertson, stood and called the meeting to order. "Thank you all for coming. Today, we are here to address the serious accusations made against Franklin Miles. This is an important matter, and we intend to handle it with the utmost fairness and integrity."Franklin was called out first. As he walked to the front of the auditorium, the students erupted into a mix of boos and whispers."Cheater!" one student yelled."How could you, Franklin?" another shouted."He's just another poor kid who thinks he can get away with anything," a girl in the back muttered to her friend.Franklin was confident as always, trying to maintain his composure despite the hosti
Franklin was calm but resolute.The auditorium fell into a stunned silence as the bank representative's voice confirmed that Franklin is innocent. "The account was temporarily deactivated by Mr. Franklin, but the money is still there. The account is now reactivated, and the balance remains intact."The administrators exchanged glances, their expressions shifting from suspicion to contemplation. The head administrator, Dr. Robertson, cleared his throat and addressed the crowd. "It seems we have received clear evidence regarding the joint account issue. Franklin did not steal any money."The students began to murmur among themselves. Some looked shocked, while others seemed relieved. A few still wore skeptical expressions. One student whispered to her friend, "I can't believe it. Daisy's been lying this whole time?"Daisy's face turned red as she stammered, "But... but he still deactivated the account without telling me!"Dr. Robertson raised his hand to quiet the room. "Miss Daisy, Mr.
After Casey Ford and Mr. Gerald made their accusations against Franklin.The students, administrators, and Daisy watched with bated breath, waiting to see how Franklin would respond.Dr. Robertson, the head administrator, cleared his throat and addressed Casey and Mr. Gerald. "This is a serious accusation. We need to handle this matter with the utmost care. Ms. Ford, Mr. Gerald, please present your evidence."Mr. Gerald stepped forward, holding up the thick folder. "We have documents here that suggest that Franklin used unauthorized means to pass his examination, including the original exam results of Franklin, as well as the fake ones.”The students began murmuring among themselves, their whispers growing louder. Some were shocked, others skeptical.One student leaned over to her friend and whispered, "Do you think it's true? Franklin doesn't seem like the type to cheat."Another student shook his head, "I don't know. This is getting out of hand. First, the thing with Daisy, and now
The auditorium fell silent again as Franklin gestured toward Conor, who was seated near the back of the auditorium.Conor stood up and approached the front, carrying a briefcase. He handed it to Franklin, who opened it and pulled out a stack of files.Franklin turned to face the administrators and the students. "These documents include pictures and proof that Casey Ford and Mr. Gerald here tried to frame me for examination malpractice. Additionally, we have evidence of communication between Casey Ford and Mr. Gerald discussing plans to frame me."Gasps echoed through the room as Franklin held up the documents. Dr. Robertson's eyes widened, and he exchanged a shocked look with the other administrators. He motioned for Franklin to hand over the papers, which Franklin did.Dr. Robertson and the other administrators examined the documents.Casey Ford's face turned pale. She glanced at Mr. Gerald with a question expression. He seemed equally uncomfortable.The students watched the unfoldin
The whole students watched as Casey Ford was being escorted out of the auditorium by her bodyguard. The place gradually fell into an uneasy silence.Mr. Gerald was left standing alone at the front, looking visibly shaken. His face had lost its color, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He glanced nervously at the administrators, who were now looking at him with stern expressions.Dr. Robertson cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "Mr. Gerald, the evidence provided by Franklin, along with your own unsubstantiated claims, leaves us with no choice but to address your misconduct. This institution upholds integrity and honesty above all else, and it seems you have violated these principles."Mr. Gerald tried to defend himself. "Dr. Robertson, please, there must be some misunderstanding. I... I was only trying to protect the integrity of our examination process. I never intended for things to escalate like this."Mrs. Johnson stepped forward. "Mr. Gerald, it's clear that you con
Casey Ford was still in a state of anger and humiliation as she left the environment of Blue Hill College.Her private security quickly ushered her into a waiting black limo car. The ride was quiet for a few minutes.On the way to the private hangar, one of her security, Alec, turned to her. "Miss Ford, we've arranged for a private flight to take you back home. The plane will be ready for takeoff in an hour."Casey nodded, her eyes distant. "Thank you, Alec."Alec hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Miss Ford, if there's anything you need, or anyone you want us to handle, just let us know. We're here for you."Casey looked at him, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You mean, if I want to deal with anyone who crossed me back there?"Alec nodded, trying to gauge her mood. "Yes, ma'am. We can take care of any... business you need us to."Casey sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I'm so angry, Alec. They all turned against me. Those administrators, the students... Franklin hum
Daisy Bernard arrived home from Blue Hill College feeling a deep sense of sorrow and worry. The day's events had left her shaken, and now, to make matters worse, she hadn't heard from her boyfriend, Richmond Wright, for several hours. She tried calling him multiple times, but there was no answer. With each call that went unanswered, her anxiety grew. She couldn't understand why he wasn't picking up or at least texting her back.And now, the call wasn't even going through.Sitting on her bed, Daisy felt a wave of despair wash over her. She had already faced public humiliation today, and now the silence from Richmond was making everything worse. She buried her face in her hands, feeling tears welling up. Just as she was about to try calling him again, her phone rang. The screen displayed an unknown number.Hesitating for a moment, Daisy wiped her eyes and answered the call, her voice shaky. "Hello?"There was a brief pause before a familiar voice spoke, "Daisy, it's Richmond."Her heart
