Chapter 88 Caught

She questioned whether or not she would be granted permission to leave that day.

Ares jerked her head back and cast a curious glance in Vera's direction. “Maybe. If you are willing to cooperate. This is the official document of the company that your family runs. I am also already aware of the secrets that you and your family are keeping hidden. You are aware of the potential outcomes if you choose to ignore any of the advice that I give you. But that's not why I came to this place today."

“Please… Please don't do anything to hurt my loved ones. I—I'll do anything you ask of me..."

“Yes. Now, here is what I desired for you to do... Today, I want you to go to your school and talk to the dean there."

"Why is it that you can't just do it by yourself? You have already forced me to tell you everything back there in that deserted place. Why don't you try to clear Kianna's name using that evidence?

"Did I ask you to talk?" Ares inquired as he fixed a cold stare on Vera.

"N-no… I'm very sorry..."

"I have a personal explanation for why I did that, and it is not necessary for you to be aware of it. I have one simple request of you, and that is to carry out everything that I shall now state; do you find it difficult to do as I say, Ms. Ventura?

"No, sir…"

"As I've already told you, I want you to go to the school and talk to the dean. Even though it is Sunday and there are no classes to attend, those of you who were involved in the incident are not permitted to enter the university because there are security guards posted at the entrance. It won't be hard for you to get accepted into that university.

"What if I weren't able to enter the University, and the guards caught me trying to sneak in?"

"That is not a problem for me. Therefore, you need to ensure that you will be cautious. In the event that you are unable to carry it out effectively. Should just turn that record over to the authorities and have them look into it on my behalf—"

"No, don't! I will— I will carry it out. I will be able to pull it off...

“Good. That is all I have to say for the time being. I write a letter to your family telling them that you are currently staying at the home of your friend, and I also send them some presents so that they won't become concerned about you and will be able to locate you. — Follow after him. He is going to take you all the way to the school in the car. But before we get to that, you need to put something on." Ares was suddenly given a box by another man who handed him. When he opened it, he found that it had a little microphone inside. "Take this and wear it in a place where other people won't be able to see it. I am going to keep track of everything you say using that phrase to ensure that it is correctly positioned. I do not want to hear a distorted sound, and if I do, then the financial situation of your family's business will become critical. Ares added.

Vera snatched it up and fastened it to the inside of her shirt.

Ares said to his men as they handed him a laptop, "Now, let's try to see if it's functioning properly." Ares opened it up, and then connected it to the microphone that was fastened to Vera's shirt. "Let's try to communicate now." He ordered.

"What exactly ought I to say?"

What exactly should I say?

Vera's voice echoed. Ares gave a satisfied nod, indicating that he felt somewhat content with the fact that it was functioning and he was able to hear her correctly.

“Alright. "Would you please take her to the school?" Ares gave the order, then leaned his head back on the sofa and closed his eyes so that he could get some rest while they waited for Vera to enter the University. He didn't even bother to open his eyes as he barked orders at his men, telling them to "Get me a cup of coffee."

— The Cavite State University

Vera was unable to refrain herself from looking outside as they got closer to the entrance to the University of Cavite. The driver pulled over to the closest store and waited for Vera to exit the vehicle before continuing on his way. When Vera got out of the car, she let out a long sigh as she did so. As soon as she finally exited the vehicle, he turned his back on her and left her alone. She disappears by hiding in a vehicle that is parked in front of her. She was pondering the various ways in which she might be able to get inside when she noticed a truck that was about to go through the gate. Vera seized the opportunity presented to her when the gate began to slowly open and did so in order to continue following the truck while she was hiding beside it.

After getting past the security checkpoint and entering the campus, she falsely believed that she had already evaded the guard, but then she heard, "Hey! Who exactly are you? — Hey! Miss! "Whither are you traveling?" The guard yelled as soon as he saw Vera take off running.

When Vera entered the building, she went straight to the ladies' room and hid there. After that, when she heard footsteps approaching, she locked herself inside and waited.

"Where on earth did she go?" While he was looking around, the guard questioned himself. A few minutes later, she was informed that it had taken a different path. After that, she cautiously opened the door.

“Argh!”

Vera screamed because she was so taken aback when she saw the security guard standing in front of the women's restroom. Watching for her to leave the building.

Vera's arm was grabbed as the security guard said, "Got you." "I was right to suspect that it was you, you spoiled brat. Why did you even bother to go to school despite the fact that you are not permitted to enter the school due to the trouble that you caused?

I am truly sorry... I'm just—"

“Quiet! I will get you in to see the dean as soon as possible. You will explain the situation to the dean."

Vera's face broke into a broad grin as soon as she listened to it. She pretended that she didn't want to go to the dean's office while the guard was pulling her toward the office of the dean in order to make the guard pull her even more to go to the office of the dean. “Please… I won't be doing much more than just attempting to put my belongings in the locker. I will get out after I get it…"

"Shut up! You will discuss this matter with the Dean!

When they were standing in front of the dean's office, the security guard knocked on the door and then opened it for them. "Dean, I witnessed her entering the gate, and when I called out to her, she erupted into a sprint."

"Ms. Ventura? What are you doing in this place? — I am appreciative of you bringing her here. You can go now." This is what the dean told the security guard, After that, he exited the room while giving Vera the "death stare."

"May I ask, Ms. Ventura, what business brings you to this area? You should not come here at schools while the investigation into the cheating issues is still ongoing because I told you that you are not permitted to do so.

Vera took a moment to pause, bow her head, and collect her thoughts before beginning to speak. She waited until she had gathered enough courage to confess before standing up and walking over to the dean's desk. The dean is examining her behavior and wondering what she was doing and why she is acting in such a manner.

"Are you okay, Ms. Ventura?"

“Dean… I have a secret to disclose to you...
