In Laura White's opinion, the fact that someone with Susan Caldwell's family background and status had to apologize to Vera Xavier only proved that Vera's own background was even more powerful. At the same time, she grew even more curious about the identity of Vera's boyfriend.
When Susan Caldwell first heard that she wouldn't be expelled, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking her call to Julian Caldwell had worked. But then she was informed she would have to apologize to Vera Xavier in front of the entire student body and faculty. She immediately refused and scrambled to call Julian Caldwell.
After ten seconds of silence, Julian Caldwell said from the other end of the line, "Regarding this matter, no matter what tricks Vera Xavier pulled, you are officially the one at fault. And you're still a student at Veridia University, so you have to follow the administration's arrangements."
