Chapter 332 Planning to Restart the Galactic Aurora Collective Project?
Expulsion?
If Lyra really got expelled, her record would be forever tarnished!
Franklin gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really have to go to such extremes? Don't you get the idea of leaving yourself an out?"
"An out? What do I need an out for?"
"According to the school's rules, this behavior doesn't warrant expulsion. If we let this slide, future students might follow suit. I don't think that's good for the school's reputation."
It's easy to talk about principles.
Catherine followed Alexander into the restaurant while responding to Franklin.
Franklin was still quite opposed.
"Catherine, getting into our school is incredibly tough. Lyra is an excellent student, and her future will be ruined because of your actions! You haven't suffered any real harm, so why can't you let her off?"
"Mr. Morales, if I had suffered real harm, would you stand by me then?"
Such hypothetical scenarios always come with a sense of superiority.
Without being in the eye of the storm, feeling Catherine's emotions, Franklin could easily stand on the moral high ground and demand things from Catherine.
But why should she?
Franklin was at a loss for words.
"Catherine, but you haven't been harmed! You're strong, aren't you? Even if her tricks hurt you, you have a powerful family to protect you. Why can't you empathize with ordinary people?"
Catherine's smile was somewhat contemptuous.
She looked at the scenery outside the window. Alexander had brought her to a restaurant on a small island in the lake, and the surroundings felt like stepping into a fairyland.
"Mr. Morales, how did you handle those failures back then?"
Franklin knew exactly what Catherine was referring to!
It was about the early days of the Galactic Aurora Collective project, and the fate of those who couldn't withstand the experiments.
Both had tacitly avoided mentioning the Galactic Aurora Collective before.
Now that it was brought up, Franklin fell silent.
Catherine's tone was somewhat indifferent.
"Mr. Morales, those people were rare geniuses. They couldn't withstand your experiments and became fools. Who isn't more valuable than Lyra?"
"Weren't they ordinary people?"
"It was Mr. Morales who taught me the first lesson: the weak should be eliminated! Plus, I'm a vengeful person. My grandmother always told me that if someone hits me once, I should hit back three times!"
"Mr. Morales, do you want me to take revenge or expel her? You choose."
Catherine chuckled, "After all, controlling others' fate has always been your favorite thing, hasn't it?"
The sarcasm in her words was palpable!
Everyone present knew a bit about Franklin's past deeds!
Arabella laughed out loud.
"Franklin was so ruthless back then. Is it because he's old now, or has he grown a conscience? He probably can't sleep at night, haunted by those poor kids seeking revenge in his dreams."
Franklin's face turned extremely ugly!
Under pressure, he sighed, "I understand. I'll expel her."
After hanging up the phone and sending everyone away, Franklin felt frustrated.
How did this generation of the Galactic Aurora Collective end up like this?
His gaze turned dark.
Franklin got up, locked the door, and opened a drawer secured with several locks, taking out a file from the innermost section.
The top of the file read:
[Application to Restart the Galactic Aurora Collective Project.]
Franklin opened the file, his eyes widening!
What should have been a dense collection of information, including lists of geniuses he had found over the years and his latest, perfected plan, had turned into a meme!
It read:
[Restart the Galactic Aurora Collective? You might as well ascend to heaven!]
Franklin's hands trembled with anger!
He had spent ten years developing this new plan!
Franklin had come to Imperial University as the principal to produce a more rigorous report, seeking greater support to restart the Galactic Aurora Collective project.
Now the plan had turned into a meme!
Franklin was so furious that his hands shook, and he opened the surveillance footage of his office.
A man, wearing a hood, swaggered into his office, took the plan, and even deleted the original draft.
Franklin was so enraged that he foamed at the mouth and fainted!
Meanwhile.
Catherine opened the plan Mars had retrieved.
"I guessed right. Franklin left the Galactic Aurora Collective ten years ago because the person who signed off on it retired."
The higher-ups didn't support the plan, forcing Franklin to halt his activities.
Alexander rolled up his sleeves and cut the steak for Catherine.
"But the Galactic Aurora Collective continued to operate until the year you joined. Some people didn't want it to disappear, while others did. So you could take away the Galactic Aurora Collective as a result of their conflict."
Catherine smiled, confirming Alexander's guess in another way.
"You're so smart. Does that mean you can know what I'm thinking without me saying a word?"
This request sounded a bit demanding.
But Alexander understood it was Catherine's way of showing her willingness to be close to him.
Placing the cut steak by Catherine's hand, Alexander wiped his hands and smiled, "I guess you're thinking Franklin knows your people did this, but he can't do anything about it."
The missing file was Franklin's top-secret file that he dared not reveal.
Even if the file was lost, he couldn't call the police!
If his past actions were exposed, he wouldn't be able to stay in his current position!
That's why Mars dared to swagger in and even flip off the camera before leaving!
"I guess Catherine plans to completely oppose Franklin, so I've already called the police for him. After all, losing such important information would be a shame if it can't be recovered!"
Seeing Alexander's somewhat mischievous smile, Catherine's face also lit up with a smile!
What she loved most was the tacit understanding between her and Alexander.
"You're so kind-hearted. Do you like doing charity?"
"I do enjoy it. So I've doubled the amount Brad donated to those poor students and wrote both our names!"
Brad didn't like having too much money, saying it affected his spiritual practice!
So after the auction, he gave all the money to Alexander, asking him to send it to the mountainous areas.
Just as they mentioned Brad, Catherine received a message from him.
