Chapter 66
“Ms. Clauder! He’s framing us! We were just passing by!” Jim quickly refuted and gave Casper a death stare.
“Yeah! We were passing by when I saw Casper with a pole trying to steal your underwear. He’s the real pervert here!” Bobby caught on and did everything he could to paint Casper as the real culprit.
After all, there were no surveillance cameras around, nor were there any witnesses.
Furthermore, even Giselle did not see them when they were using the pole, so things were still up in the air.
“Ha! You think you can frame me just because I’m the only one here?” Casper said as he took out his phone.
“Give it a rest already. If you guys like framing people so much, let’s call the police. I’m sure that there are fingerprints on those poles. Oh, we can throw the thing you stole in for a test as well.”
Hearing what Casper said, Giselle instinctively tightened her grip on the garment in her hand and rolled her eyes at him. There’s no way I’m sending this in as evidence! I’d die of embarrassment!
She figured that he did not need to go that far as she could tell who was lying and who was not. I know they’re trying to incriminate you, you know? I’m not that stupid.
“What happened to you two? You’re students! Why are you stealing underwear?” Giselle turned and shouted at Jim and Bob.
Nonetheless, Jim was a sly guy, so he was still trying to defend himself. “Ms. Clauder, we didn’t steal that! We merely picked it up, but Casper insisted that we stole it and beat us up for it. Now we have to go to the hospital.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Ms. Clauder, please don’t listen to Casper. He can call the police if he wants to. After all, the poles weren’t used to steal your things. I was using it as a walking stick.” Bobby gritted her teeth.
“Is that so? Where did you get such a long walking stick?” Casper snorted.
“I think you guys actually forgot about the night vision surveillance cameras that the school installed last year. Or did you perhaps think you were invisible?”
A similar case occurred last year, but the school could not catch the culprit even after a long investigation. Hence, the school decided to place cameras here. Having said that, Casper did not know whether it was intact since he heard it malfunctioned the month prior.
“You two should stop this.” Giselle glared at them. “Do you really want Casper to call the police? Aren’t you afraid of going to jail? This will be on your records for the rest of your lives. It’s going to seriously affect your work opportunities.”
She was also worried that the process might be caught on camera as the police would definitely take a look at it. If that were to happen, Giselle’s bra would become vital evidence and the whole school would know about it. That was something she did not want.
On the other hand, Jim and Bobby looked at each other as they undoubtedly did not know about the cameras. Then, they looked toward Giselle with a pleading gaze.
“Ms. Clauder, please. We’re sorry. Please don’t call the police.”
Even though their families were well to do, Jim and Bobby still needed to look for jobs after they graduated as their family merely ran small businesses. They could not afford to have a stain on their resumes.
“So you admit what you did wrong? Then apologize to Casper!” Giselle’s eyes narrowed.
She wanted this embarrassing incident to end as soon as possible.
“You don’t have to apologize to me. If you want to, you should apologize to Ms. Clauder,” Casper remarked.
He, too, did not want to dwell on the matter. All Casper wanted was to be alone with Giselle, so he wanted those two scoundrels gone immediately.
Thus, he let them both go as soon as they apologized to Giselle.
Meanwhile, Giselle was very self-conscious and could not even look at Casper as she tightened her grip around her garment.
“Follow me,” Giselle suddenly instructed after seeing the wound on Casper’s arm. She assumed he got injured from his fight with Jim and Bobby.
“Okay,” Casper complied and followed Giselle into the building.
He was ecstatic at the thought of being able to go into her room again and very much looked forward to it.
When Giselle got back to her room, she dropped the bra into a tub of water in the washroom and soaked it before cleaning it with soap. She felt disgusted knowing that those two boys had their hands on it and wanted to scrub it down.
“Casper, you really ought to know how to pull your punches,” Giselle spoke when she came out of the washroom. “If I didn’t stop you there, you’d get into a lot of trouble if security saw what you did. They were both bloodied, for god’s sake.” She condemned him for what he did.
Truth be told, Giselle was dumbfounded when she saw Jim’s bloody face. She was worried that the school would put it on Casper’s school record. Moreover, Casper had already clashed with Jack. He’d definitely do all he could to get back at you if he found out.
“Ms. Clauder, you can blame me for doing that. Those two are scumbags. They could’ve stolen anyone’s underwear, just not yours!” Casper said with a straight face.
“What are you saying?” His word pulled at her heartstrings. “It’s not right no matter whose underwear they steal. Be careful next time. Remember to pull your punches, even if you caught them red-handed. I don’t want you to get in trouble, understand? You are a smart boy. You have a bright future ahead of you.”
“I understand. I’ll take note not to hit them in the face next time. I’ll do body shots instead. That way, no one would notice.” Casper nodded.
“You little rascal. Why would you say something like that? No messing around next time, got it?” Giselle responded
“I’m doing this for your own good, you know?” She realized that she was being too formal with her speech, so her tone softened.
“Yes, I know.”
“Alright then, let’s change the subject. I want to have a good chat with you. You okay with that?” Giselle calmed herself down and sat down opposite Casper, looking at him with her pair of sparkling eyes.
