Chapter 373
Alice had already made preparations to confront them.
Menu
She had investigated and found out what the journalism club president was doing. Collecting evidence was
simple for her.
Also, the club had quietly allowed this for a long time.
Everyone knew, but as students, they couldn't compete with the journalism club. To avoid slander, they had to
pay.
The club members didn’t dare bother wealthy students.
When Alice spoke, the journalism club president's face showed shock and he got very nervous. Alice spoke
coldly, “I already made things clear. If you keep spreading lies, | won't hold back.” The student council president
hurried to intervene, “If your journalism club reported wrong information, you must apologize to Alice.”
The journalism club president finally understood the gravity.“Alice, | was wrong. I'll remove the post and clear
things up.”
“Okay, don’t spread false rumors to slander people again, or you'll face consequences.” Words could hurt deeply
without leaving a mark.
He felt too embarrassed to talk, but if Alice revealed this issue, he'd face severe trouble. He didn’t want to get
expelled.

Alice asked the female student, “Do you realize that taking photos without permission and spreading lies is
against the law?”
“I don’t like you, so what? You act all high and mighty, but you're just a slut who got ahead by using men. Today,
you were on stage talking about your ‘success.’ You should be talking about sleeping with old men
instead.”
When the female student stopped talking, nearby students

started whispering.
He glanced at Drake.“Is this how your school treats an exceptional girl? She has to face vicious lies and slander?”
Jack had been watching this unfold.
From the discussions, he understood the situation and was furious,
Drake's face blanched with fear, and he hastily said, “I'll fully investigate this. Alice, a top SAT scorer and
consistently excellent student, is well-known for her achievements among teachers and students.”
“Many students here excel. If they're all isolated and attacked for being outstanding, who will dare to aim for
excellence?”
“After Jack spoke, Drake’s face kept shifting in color. He faced the journalism club president,

saying, “Did you write those posts and spread lies about Alice?”
“Mr. Cousy, | already talked to Alice. | didn't spread lies.”

The female student stood up angrily.“It’s not a rumor. Can Alice explain how she got the fancy car and expensive
stuff?”
Jack intervened, “I can clarify. That day, | was the one who drove her home. There's been a lot happening at the
company, and she had to stay late.”
The female student was stunned.“You’re lying! You're just trying to cover for Alice!” Drake scolded her sharply,
“Stop talking nonsense. Alice is a technically gifted person recognized in New York. Who are you to question
her?”
Drake hadn't fully grasped Alice’s exceptional qualities. Having her as a future role model would be immensely
beneficial for Harvard University.
Jack looked at Drake.“Mr. Cousy, | expect you to handle this situation appropriately.”
“Mr. Wilson, you can be sure I'll address it."
Jack nodded, then left with his group.
Drake paused briefly, turning to the student council president and saying, “Round up everyone who participated
in spreading those rumors in the posts. This incident must be dealt with severely to uphold the school’s
discipline. It's utterly intolerable.”
With that said, Drake rushed to catch up with Jack.
The journalism club president spoke nervously, “What should we do now? | didn’t mean any harm. | don’t want to
face disciplinary action, let alone get expelled
“Who told you to talk like that in front of Mr. Cousy? Alice is self-made; she doesn’t depend on others.”
The student council president felt a bit trapped and reflexively glanced at Alice beside him.
At this moment, the only person who could resolve the situation was Alice.
Mary, however, stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Alice.“Alice chere with good intentions to
clear things up, but you guys were unappreciative and chose to escalate this. Now you're facing the
consequences
of your own actions. You have it coming.”
“Right! They're just envious of how exceptional Alice is and can only use dirty tricks.”
Lana took the initiative to link arms with Alice.“Let’s go, there's no point in wasting words on them.”
Alice remained silent and went along.
The female student was now frightened too.“What should we do? | don’t want to face discipline either.”
“Are you scared now? Why did you say those things in front of Mr. Cousy, implicating all of us? It's your fault; you
provided the photos and spread the rumors. You should take full responsibility.”
The female student started crying out of fear.
What should she do now?
Meanwhile, Alice and her friends went outside.

Many students gathered and said, “Alice, you're amazing.”
“Alice, are you really a shareholder in Maple Company? Will you be financially free when your company goes
public?”
Alice glanced at the students around her. “Starting a business is risky. No one knows what will happen.”
Max, noticing Alice with her classmates, felt jealous.“Julia, without the Wilson family’s support, would Alice's
business have been this easy? She still depends on

Julia felt uneasy. She knew a secret that would only work if told at the right time.
Today, she chose to let Alice go.
After talking to the curious students briefly, the student council president cto Alice.“Alice, you have a school
interview to go to.”
“Okay, I'll go now.”
As Alice followed, she saw Jack talking with sbusiness owners.
He leaned back in his chair, his lips slightly curved, almost smiling, but his eyes were cold. Alice knew that Jack
was just socializing with them.
When she entered, Jack looked at her.
As he looked up, everyone else did too, focusing on Alice.
The student council president went to Alice.“Cthis way. Followand stay calm
Alice smiled and followed him.
However, Jack looked at Alice’s smile, furrowed his brows, and felt a bit uneasy. Seeing the young boy next to
Alice, admiring her, made Jack feel a strange irritation, Someone next to him saw Jack staring at Alice.
After her interview, the middle-aged man told Alice, “Alice, cand talk with us for a while.” Alice didn’t like
his tone, but she went over anyway.
“Sit next to Mr. Wilson.”
