However, Kingsley ignored him. He stood up and announced, "I trust you've seen the whole drama. Calvin, Catherine, and Perry tricked Courtney and Queenie into going to an empty office. They attempted to take their nudes and blackmail them. If I hadn't arrived in time, these ladies would have their lives ruined by these scums!"
The crowd was outraged. They could already guess the whole story, but they didn't think Calvin was the mastermind. They thought it was Perry. Now that Kingsley had made everything clear, they turned their anger to Calvin.
"I can't believe you, Calvin! How could you do that to them?"
"Scum like him can't be the president of the Student Representative Council! He should be expelled!"
"And that witch too! Expel all of them!"
Everyone shouted the same slogan.
"Expel them!"

All the color drained from Catherine's face. I'm done for. Done for. Nobody at Solaris University will respect me from now on. I might not even be able to graduate.
Yet, Calvin didn't share her fear. Slowly, he stopped shivering, and he looked at Kingsley. "You're pushing me to the edge," he announced hoarsely.
"The edge?" Kingsley cocked his eyebrow. "I thought I'd already pushed you over the edge."
"Heh," Calvin sneered. "You think I could be the president of the Student Representative Council without connections of my own?"
Kingsley said, "Ah, yes. Professor Albright. You're his pride and joy. So, you're counting on him to save you from this predicament."
"Exactly." Calvin clenched his teeth. "Not only is he influential in Solaris University, but he's also famous in the world of academia. Moreover, once his new book is launched tomorrow, his fame will rise to a new level. Everyone will respect him as a celebrated academician. So what if the whole school despises me? As long as Professor Albright backs me up, I'll remain the dignified president of the Student Representative Council."
"Good." Kingsley nodded coolly. "You'd better pray his book launch tomorrow goes without a hitch."
Wait. What's he trying to say? "What's that supposed to mean?"
Kingsley ignored him. Instead, he approached Catherine. Calvin can dream for one more day. When the launch comes, I will crush him and that mentor of his.
When Catherine noticed what Kingsley was trying to do, she moved backward on all fours. "W-What do you want?"
An inscrutable Kingsley snapped, "Catherine, you've been Courtney's roommate for almost four years. How could you do that to her? Do you hate her that much?"
Catherine took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "I bore no grudge against her. I just didn't like her because everyone called her the school Madonna. I'm obviously the prettier woman. However, Zeke broke up with me yesterday because of her! I won't forgive that!"
Courtney and Queenie approached Catherine, and Courtney snapped, "You think Zeke would stick around if he never saw me? Please. I tore his mask off so you could see his true colors. You should thank me that you're no longer with that jerk."
