Willow Grant had been waiting for Principal Payne to come, and as soon as Principal Payne walked in, she immediately saw him and quickly raised her hand to call out, "Principal, over here!"

Principal Payne quickened his steps and walked over, inquiring, "Who on earth is ignoring your advice and forcing their way in?"

Willow deliberately spoke vaguely, "You’ll know once you go in."

She was afraid the principal would be biased toward Summer Monroe, so she couldn’t let the principal prepare mentally. By the time the principal finished scolding and realized it was Summer, it would be too late.

Willow’s plan was clicking into place as she followed the principal, who was full of anger, into the archive room.

Quite a few students followed in as well, carrying the mindset of watching the drama unfold.

They saw a thin-waisted girl with her back to them, quietly sitting there going through documents.

A ray of light shone through a gap in the curtains, falling right on the girl’s head, as if an angel had descended. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The scene was so beautiful, it didn’t seem of this world.

The boys were momentarily stunned.

Principal Payne was also taken aback for a moment, but he remembered his purpose for coming and coughed heavily twice, "Ahem! Who allowed you to force your way into the archive room? Hurry and get out of there!"

Willow shouted angrily, "The principal is here, and you still plan to stay here?"

The girl with her back to them seemed to just realize someone had come in, suddenly turning her head towards the door like a startled deer.

The girl’s eyes sparkled, and her perfectly formed face made one involuntarily hold their breath in admiration. Just a simple glance at her felt like one’s soul was being whisked away.

At this moment, the girl’s look of surprise made everyone’s hearts twinge.

Willow looked at Summer’s appearance, biting her lip in frustration.

Was she using her charms because the principal was stepping in?

"Principal!" Willow raised her voice, "Summer Monroe not only forced her way into the archive room but also ignored warnings. You can’t just let her off without punishment!"

Only then did the principal come back to his senses.

He never expected that the person Willow talked about, who "forced her way into the archive room and was unwilling to leave," was actually Summer Monroe.

The key to the archive room was given to Summer because the principal felt guilty towards her, so it was lent for her use.

In other words, from the very start, Summer hadn’t "forced her way" into the archive room.

Principal Payne looked at Summer, then at the furious Willow, and suddenly it dawned on him.

The overt and covert struggles among young girls in the school were just like those palace intrigue episodes in historical dramas, unwilling to stop until the other was brought down.

He hated such things the most!

Principal Payne suddenly remembered the incident where Professor Harlan almost had his school exchange event ruined by Willow, nearly costing the school the privilege of using Britton University’s calculus plans.

The overlap of "new grudges and old grievances" finally made Principal Payne explode with anger.

"Willow Grant! What exactly do you think you’re doing?!" Although Principal Payne was old, he was in great shape, and his shout was full of energy, brimming with fiery rage.

The roar completely stunned Willow.

She had no idea what was going on.

Why would Principal Payne yell at her? Right now, shouldn’t he be tearing Summer Monroe apart verbally?

"Pr-Principal?" Willow’s pupils widened in shock, "What do you mean?"

The other students also showed perplexed expressions.

Although they were baffled when they saw that the person forcing their way into the archive room was Summer from their campus.

But seeing Principal Payne unexpectedly reverse the situation and scold Willow left them even more confused.
