    A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 818


    “Are you really asking me why I yelled at you?” Marcus let out a bark of wryughter. “Will you finally be


    satisfied after wreaking havoc across the school? Or do you want to reduce it to rubble, too?”


    “Are you talking about me?” Wendy pointed at herself with a look of astonishment. “What did I do? Isn‘t


    Arielle the one at fault here? Why aren‘t you scolding her? Instead, you are ming me for wreaking


    havoc.”


    The onlooking students couldn‘t help but look back and forth between Marcus and Arielle as they tried to


    decipher Marcus‘ reasons for protecting Arielle.


    A few of the students stepped forward to defend Wendy. “Mr. Brown, isn‘t the archive considered a


    restricted area? It‘s clear that Arielle ignored her advice. Why is she the one at fault???


    “Yeah! Mr. Brown, you should be scolding Arielle instead!”


    Nevertheless, only a few students tried to help Wendy. Most of them remained silent as they deduced


    that there might be another reason for Marcus‘ anger.


    Wendy‘s eyes began to fill with tears. “That‘s right. I really have no idea what I‘ve done wrong. You can‘t


    favor Arielle and look over her mistakes just because she helped the school‘s reputation! You should


    treat every student fairly,” she mumbled.

    “I‘m favoring her?” Marcus‘ livid gaze swept toward Wendy. “Though I suppose there is some truth in


    your


    words. I shouldn‘t be so forgiving toward my students‘ mistakes.” Heughed bitterly.


    For some reason, a tremble skittered down Wendy‘s spine when she heard Marcus‘ words.


    “Wendy, you‘ve ignored the school‘s rules, bullied students, and nearly destroyed the school‘s reputation.


    As the principal, it is my responsibility to punish you ordingly. This will be your first strike. Additionally,


    you will write a three thousand word essay to reflect on your wrongdoings and publicly apologize to


    Arielle during assembly,” Marcus uttered coldly.


    Wendy could not believe her own ears.


    In a haze of desperation, she clutched Marcus‘ sleeve. “W–Why are you giving me a strike? Arielle‘s the


    one who intruded the archive. I didn‘t do anything wrong! How could you punish me?”


    The other students were dumbfounded by Marcus‘ deration as well.


    What is Mr. Brown doing?


    “Are you asking me why I punished you?” Marcus pointed at Arielle. “Well, let me tell you then. I was the


    one who let Arielle borrow the archive key. Even Mr. Baxter was there when I gave her the key. I also


    recorded it down in my office. You can look at it as


    proof.”


    Wendy‘s mind went nk,


    In a daze, she looked toward Arielle and noticed that the corners of Arielle‘s lips were upturned into a


    cold smile.


    Arielle‘s cold and calcting smile caused Wendy‘s skin to prickle with fear.


    Arielle was never an intruder. Right from the very start, she had received Mr. Brown‘s permission. No


    wonder she remained in the archive even after I mocked her. This entire time, Arielle had me dancing in


    the palm of her hand. I stumbled into her trap like a fool.


    “Do you know why I‘ve punished you now?” Marcus asked coldly.


    All the blood drained from Wendy‘s face.


    Instantly, realization dawned on the other students.


    “It looks like Arielle never intruded the archive. It was this student here who was grasping at straws and


    tried to sabotage Arielle!”


    “I must say, despite her good looks, she has a horrendous personality.”
