Chapter 735
There was still one piece of evidence frebecca han submitted the one provided by Darren
He had hacked the school’s security system and recovered the deleted surveillance footage it contained crucial evidence, but that approach wasn’t a positive act
She didn’t want to hand it over and caves trouble for him in this critical senior year. As Fabio had put it they were all ready for college applications
Lost in thought, she saw Darren walking toward her
“How did it go? What did they want?” he asked.
His question was almost identical to Vance’s from moments ago.
think it should be fine now,” she replied simply. The district office will investigate thoroughly.”
“Was this the moment you were waiting for?”
“Yeah.”
“Good. Only when public pressure is great enough will the punishment be serious enough.”
Rebecca was surprised that he shared her thinking.
“You didn’t submit the surveillance footage of the bulletin board?”
“No, I didn’t”
“Why?” He knew she wasn’t trying to protect anyone in that footage.
“Because.” she explained, “I wanted to protect you.”
He paused, and then a warm smile bloomed on his face. “It’s fine. They won’t…”
He had practically become another Darren. Yet in this world, the two were drifting apart. Maybe it was because of her arrival. But how long would she be here? Would she eventually leave? She had no answers.
She hoped they would always remain close friends. She didn’t want them to grow distant or develop grudges because of her.
“He…” She tried to figure out how to evaluate Vance, from her 27–year–old perspective or the 17–year–old one.
“He isn’t a good guy,” Darren suddenly said. “You should stay away from him.”
Rebecca was stunned. Those words really didn’t sound like something he would say.
“Darren…” She hesitated.
Yes, Vance wasn’t a good person, but only the 27–year–old Rebecca had the right to say so. Because in this entire world, the only person he had ever failed was her.
