Chapter 987 Escape from Chaos
“I’m heading downstairs now, not at your request, but because I’ve grown weary of sharing this stuffy air with all of you in this study room,” Cherise declared firmly.
“By the way, has there been a change in leadership with the principal and the dean of this school?” she inquired, her tone assertive.
“I’ll ensure they review the surveillance footage here so they can witness the disregard for privacy among the students of Adania University,” she added before gracefully turning to leave, her departure exuding poise. “I recall the library’s surveillance also captures audio.”
As Cherise finished speaking, a loud “bang” reverberated behind her, indicating someone had smashed the surveillance camera,
Observing Cherise’s departure with clenched teeth. Emma muttered, “Smashing it won’t make a difference. Those data have already been uploaded to the cloud.”
Taking a deep breath, she narrowed her eyes, retrieved her phone, and dialed a number. “Caleb, Cherise has left the room.”
“Ensure she’s intercepted, make her address the online messages properly, and make her confess that she’ll do anything for any man!” she instructed firmly
If Cherise’s promiscuity is confirmed, even with the principal and the dean witnessing today’s harassment on video, they won’t step in!

“Don’t worry,” Caleb sneered over the phone. “I already have firsthand information.”

However, they were surprised to find the back door also besieged by a crowd of reporters.
Uncertain of how to proceed, Cherise noticed the security guard accepting money from the prompting her to usher Emily and Blake into a nearby utility room swiftly.
The utility room was cramped, dusty, and challenging to navigate.
Peering through a crack, Cherise observed the security guards, who had accepted bribes, open the entrance door, allowing the reporters to flood in like a swarm of locusts.
As they stepped into the elevator, the reporters meticulously searched every corner, their movements adding to the chaotic atmosphere that enveloped the entire library.
“What should we do?” Emily’s voice quivered as she looked up at Cherise, her lip caught between her teeth. “I didn’t mean for this… I didn’t expect…”
Cherise offered a comforting pat on Emily’s shoulder “It’s not your fault,” she reassured. “Even without your presence, they would have found me. They’re targeting me, not you.”
Nodding in understanding. Emily took a deep breath and gestured to a chair. “Cherise, please, have a scat.”
In her nervousness, Emily accidentally knocked over the chair while reaching for a tissue.
“There’s a noise from over there!” a reporter shouted, prompting others to rush towards the room. “Let’s investigate!”
Emily was overcome with panic.
