Obsessed CEO Throws Himself atChapter 818
“Are you really askingwhy | yelled at you?” Marcus let out a bark of wry laughter. “Will you finally be satisfied after wreaking
havoc across the school? Or do you want to reduce it to rubble, too?”
“Are you talking about me?” Wendy pointed at herself with a look of astonishment. “What did | do? Isn‘t Arielle the one at fault
here? Why arent you scolding her? Instead, you are blamingfor wreaking havoc.”
The onlooking students couldn‘t help but look back and forth between Marcus and Arielle as they tried to decipher Marcus’ reasons
for protecting Arielle.
A few of the students stepped forward to defend Wendy. “Mr. Brown, isn’t the archive considered a restricted area? It's clear that
Arielle ignored her advice. Why is she the one at fault???
“Yeah! Mr. Brown, you should be scolding Arielle instead!”

Nevertheless, only a few students tried to help Wendy. Most of them remained silent as they deduced that there might be another
reason for Marcus’ anger.
Wendy's eyes began to fill with tears. “That's right. | really have no idea what I've done wrong. You can’t favor Arielle and look over
her mistakes just because she helped the school’s reputation! You should treat every student fairly,” she mumbled.
“I'm favoring her?” Marcus’ livid gaze swept toward Wendy. “Though | suppose there is struth in your
words. | shouldnt be so forgiving toward my students’ mistakes.” He laughed bitterly.
For sreason, a tremble skittered down Wendy's spine when she heard Marcus’ words.
“Wendy, you've ignored the school’s rules, bullied students, and nearly destroyed the school’s reputation. As the principal, it is my
responsibility to punish you accordingly. This will be your first strike. Additionally, you will write a three thousand word essay to
reflect on your wrongdoings and publicly apologize to Arielle during assembly,” Marcus uttered coldly.
Wendy could not believe her own ears.
In a haze of desperation, she clutched Marcus’ sleeve. “W-Why are you givinga strike? Arielle’s the one who intruded the
archive. | didnt do anything wrong! How could you punish me?”
The other students were dumbfounded by Marcus’ declaration as well.
What is Mr. Brown doing?
“Are you askingwhy | punished you?” Marcus pointed at Arielle. “Well, lettell you then. | was the one who let Arielle borrow
the archive key. Even Mr. Baxter was there when | gave her the key. | also recorded it down in my office. You can look at it as
proof.”
Wendy‘s mind went blank,

In a daze, she looked toward Arielle and noticed that the corners of Arielle’s lips were upturned into a cold smile.
Arielle’s cold and calculating smile caused Wendy's skin to prickle with fear.
Arielle was never an intruder. Right from the very start, she had received Mr. Brown's permission. No wonder she remained in the
archive even after | mocked her. This entire time, Arielle haddancing in the palm of her hand. | stumbled into her trap like a
fool.
“Do you know why I've punished you now?” Marcus asked coldly.
All the blood drained from Wendy's face.
Instantly, realization dawned on the other students.
“It looks like Arielle never intruded the archive. It was this student here who was grasping at straws and tried to sabotage Arielle!”
“] must say, despite her good looks, she has a horrendous personality.”
