After Susan called the police, he rolled up his sleeves and advanced toward me.
On the way to the administrative building, they searched another girls' dorm.
But it was the graduate students dorm—no Emily there.
Seeing John's defeated expression, Susan nearly crushed her phone in her hand.
She noticed my indifferent expression and threw her phone at my head.
My forehead swelled instantly.
More students gathered, watching the spectacle.
Witnessing Susan's panic and John's exhaustion, they glared at me with pure disgust.
"Her parents are desperate—must be an only child? Watching their family fall apart like this is evil! She'll burn in hell!"
"What's with her expression? After one hit, she looks ready to kill! If you did something wrong, admit it—stop pretending!"

Just as I began to speak, Susan interrupted, demanding the school officials,
"How dare you accept someone like this? Hand over my daughter or expel Lily, or you're accomplices! I'll expose you online—let's see who still sends their children here then!"
Suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist.
