Marcus Shaw spoke lightly, but how could Felicity Grant not be worried? Although there were no cameras, if the police really wanted to investigate, they could always find traces.

"Marcus Shaw, this fire injured a lot of people. The police will definitely investigate thoroughly. What if it implicates us?"

Marcus Shaw looked at Felicity Grant speaking such ominous words and impatiently frowned as he said:

"As long as you keep your mouth shut tight, the police won’t find us. Besides, you just opened the little backstage door, you didn’t do anything. What are you afraid of?"

After saying this, Marcus Shaw saw that Felicity Grant was still anxious and thought: This woman really has no psychological resilience at all.

To appease her, Marcus Shaw had to say:

"Don’t worry, right now they’re just making a fuss over investigating. In the end, it will be much ado about nothing. Besides, the fire at the great hall during the school anniversary, ultimately, it’s the school’s responsibility. My grandfather is in the Ministry of Education, and when the time comes, he’ll put pressure on the principal, putting the responsibility on him. By then, this matter will turn from a big issue to a small one, and from a small one to a trivial one."

Upon hearing this, Felicity Grant frowned and asked:

"Then wouldn’t that mean the principal would be permanently dismissed?"

"Your principal’s dismissal has nothing to do with us. By taking responsibility for this matter, the police won’t continue investigating further."

Marcus Shaw was a student from another school, and Felicity Grant was displeased listening to how easily he shifted the responsibility onto the principal.

She had seen with her own eyes when the fire started, the principal was the first to rush in to rescue people. If the principal really took the fall for this, Felicity Grant would feel guilty. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Everything on Felicity Grant’s mind was written all over her face, and Marcus Shaw could see it at a glance.

Afraid Felicity Grant might say something if she wasn’t careful, he lowered his tone, looked at her with a slightly cold expression, and said:

"Instead of sympathizing with others, think about yourself first. If this matter is exposed, even if it’s my fault, do you think you can escape? With a fire this big, you’d also be charged as an accomplice. By then, no one will go easy on you."

Felicity Grant was frightened by Marcus Shaw’s words and didn’t dare to say more.

Seeing that Felicity Grant knew to be afraid, Marcus Shaw’s face finally showed a satisfied expression. He then stepped closer, looked at her with an easygoing smile, and said:

"As long as you behave and pretend you don’t know anything, this matter will definitely stay under wraps."

At this moment, Felicity Grant, feeling lost, nodded her head, and Marcus Shaw then placed his hand on her shoulder.

By this time, it was already dark; there were few people at the school, and the small grove was particularly dim.

"It’s so late already, and you haven’t eaten yet, right? Come on, your Shaw will treat you to dinner today."

When Felicity Grant noticed Marcus Shaw’s somewhat inappropriate behavior, she moved away from him, avoiding his hand, and quickly said:

"I’ve already eaten at the school cafeteria. My family’s driver is waiting for me outside the grove, so I’ll head back first."

Then Felicity Grant hurriedly walked out of the grove; there was actually no driver outside, it was just something she said to deter Marcus Shaw.

There was hardly anyone here, and if Marcus Shaw tried to do something inappropriate, she, being just a girl and no match for him, what would she do if she suffered a loss?

After running out of the grove, Felicity Grant thought with lingering fear that she shouldn’t have agreed to Marcus Shaw in the first place, and now she was stuck with no idea what to do.
