Chapter 751 Being a Role Model
"You still have the nerve to greet me with a smile, Imogen. As a university instructor, you dare to spread rumors and slander? Do you have any professional integrity left?"
The principal sternly criticized Imogen.
Imogen looked bewildered.
"What rumors did I spread? Who did I slander?"
"Did you post it?" The principal took out his phone and opened the defamatory post.
Imogen's eyes flickered for a moment, then she shook her head.
"It wasn't me."
"Then why were you following Miss Clark today?" the principal asked coldly.
Imogen avoided his gaze guiltily and continued to deny, "I wasn't following Miss Clark."
"It seems you refuse to admit it." The principal turned the computer around and played the surveillance footage which showed that Imogen was following Caroline and Daniel.
Imogen's face changed slightly, and she argued, "The campus is so big. Is Miss Clark the only one allowed to stroll around? Am I not allowed to take a walk?"
She glanced at Caroline defiantly.
"Just because Miss Clark is Mr. Watson's girlfriend?"
Caroline didn't even know Imogen. She taught instruments, while Imogen taught vocal music. Their classrooms were in different buildings, and they didn't share an office.
She didn't understand why Imogen would do this.
She thought, 'Was it just because she was Nicholas's girlfriend and Imogen was jealous? Did Imogen also like Nicholas?'
"Fine, you were taking a walk. What were you filming?"
The video continued to play, showing Imogen filming Caroline and Daniel with her phone.
Nicholas and Daniel stared at Imogen with a powerful, cold gaze, which put immense pressure on her. Under such intense scrutiny, her defenses quickly crumbled.
She lowered her head and stammered, "I was just filming the scenery. The campus is so beautiful, I couldn't help myself."
As she spoke, her voice grew lower.
Nicholas said coldly, "If you think you're innocent, then call the police. They will find out the truth. I just wonder if you'll still be this stubborn by then."
As soon as he finished speaking, Daniel took out his phone, ready to call the police.
The principal tried to persuade her earnestly, "Imogen, you shouldn't have done this. The IP address of the post has been traced. If we didn't have solid evidence, would I have called you here?"
"If you admit it now, explain your reasons, and apologize to Miss Clark, you might still be treated leniently."
Imogen's hands were trembling.
After a long while, she suddenly raised her head, her jealous eyes fixed on Caroline.
"Yes, I posted it."
Caroline met Imogen's gaze fearlessly. She didn't say anything, just looked at Imogen calmly, exuding a strong presence.
Imogen thought Caroline would be shocked, confused, or angry, but Caroline showed no emotion, so she was even more flustered.
"The post is true. You already have Mr. Watson, yet you still seduce Mr. Wolf from the Wolf Group. Mr. Wolf is old enough to be your father. You have no shame, and you won't let me speak out?"
Imogen's face twisted with agitation.
"And Kieran, if it weren't for you, I would have been with Kieran long ago. You just took Kieran's love away from me."
Kieran?
Caroline vaguely remembered something.
Wesley always liked to tell her interesting stories when she had free time. Although she often listened absentmindedly, she would occasionally chat with Wesley when something piqued her interest.
She remembered Wesley said that someone had created opportunities for Imogen and Kieran to get together, and after a few interactions, they started dating.
Kieran was the youngest, most handsome, and excellent male teacher at the school, admired by all the single female teachers, but Imogen got him.
Naturally, Imogen was very high-profile, constantly posting on Facebook about their love, and she would run to find Kieran after every class.
Wesley also said Imogen had a smug attitude.
At the time, Caroline didn't pay much attention to it and even silently wished Kieran well.
"Your bad character has nothing to do with me," Caroline said, feeling exasperated by the baseless slander.
"And," Caroline linked her arm with Daniel's, "this is my father, my biological father."
Imogen was incredulous.
"Impossible, I heard you were an orphan," Imogen said.
"Can't I find my biological parents?" Caroline rolled her eyes.
Imogen still looked like she couldn't accept it.
Caroline didn't want to argue with her.
"I want you to apologize to me in front of the entire faculty and students, or I will reserve the right to pursue legal action. Also, regarding your relationship with Kieran, please don't involve me anymore. Kieran and I are just colleagues." Caroline warned sternly.
Imogen's body trembled.
Because she knew Caroline was an orphan, she had confidently posted the defamatory content.
She had liked Kieran since she joined the school but never dared to confess, only silently watching everything about him.
Until Caroline's arrival, she keenly noticed Kieran liked Caroline.
Fortunately, news about Caroline and Nicholas came out later. Caroline was so shameless, becoming Nicholas's mistress and driving away his wife.
But it was also good because Caroline wouldn't bother Kieran anymore.
So Imogen had someone create opportunities for her and Kieran. Maybe Kieran wanted to get married, and after a few meetings, they became a couple.
However, a month later, Kieran told her they were not suitable.
She noticed Kieran still couldn't help but look at Caroline, which made her jealousy burn fiercely.
That day, she happened to see Caroline getting into the car of the Wolf Group's chairman, Daniel, and took some photos.
On New Year's Eve, she asked Kieran to reconcile, but he still refused.
In a fit of anger, she posted the defamatory content.
She wanted to destroy Caroline's goddess image in Kieran's eyes.
Jealousy had completely clouded Imogen's mind.
Daniel wanted to hit Imogen, but his good upbringing stopped him.
At first, he didn't understand why Caroline suddenly asked him to come to the school.
Now everything was clear.
Imogen was a teacher but didn't act like one at all.
"Imogen, you'd better apologize publicly as my daughter requested, otherwise you could never work in the education sector."
Nicholas spoke calmly, "Caroline is my fiancée and the heir to the Wolf Group. She works here out of interest because this is her alma mater. But if anything makes her unhappy, I see no reason to continue our investments in the school."
The principal was shocked and frightened.
"Miss Clark, rest assured, the school will give you a satisfactory explanation. Imogen, I advise you to apologize publicly as Miss Clark requested."
