After taking a deep breath, Finley managed a strained smile of apology. "Arthur, Taylor, I'm truly sorry. I misunderstood you both and I sincerely apologize. I hope you can forgive me." As he spoke, Finley also bowed deeply to the two of them. "Thank you!" Having apologized, he needed to do it thoroughly! He absolutely couldn't let this minor incident tarnish the perfect image he had maintained for two years! Sure enough, seeing his sincere demeanor, the crowd began to plead on his behalf. "Maybe Finley really did make a mistake. He's apologized so earnestly, let's just let it go." "Finley certainly didn't mean it. He was probably just trying to remind us to be careful, what with all the thugs around nowadays." "It's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up. Finley is so kind, always donating money to help students in need. He would never intentionally frame someone." "But being accused of peeping at a girl just for pulling a weed is really messed up. After all, there are girls everywhere, and where can we boys even go without being suspected of something?" "Nowadays, girls have such big prejudices against us boys. They always think we are peeping at them, up to no good." "But there are indeed many sleazy guys around these days." "If I were surrounded and scolded by so many people, I might be too frightened to even defend myself." The farce ended with Finley's apology. Arthur didn't press any further, knowing when to stop. Push too hard, and even a cornered dog will leap over a wall. Kent and Henry watched the scene, seething with rage! Their eyes nearly bled with fury! If it weren't for the fear of negatively impacting Finley, they would have rushed forward to give Arthur a severe beating! They thought Taylor was annoying enough, but this newcomer, Arthur, was even more irritating! Equally enraged was Everest. Finley was his student, his most proud pupil! Although not the homeroom teacher, Everest always saw Finley as his pride and joy! Even if the sky fell, he wouldn't believe that Finley would lie! Finley wasn't so impulsive. Arthur, with his glib tongue, could twist black into white! Ah, someday, he would surely catch this Arthur and teach him a lesson!With an expressionless face, Finley turned and walked away. If one looked closely, they could see his fists clenched tightly, still trembling slightly. It showed how forcefully he was gripping, how intense his anger was! Kent and Henry quickly followed Finley's steps, shielding him from the varied expressions of the crowd. Arthur didn't linger either, pulling Taylor back to the dormitory. Only when the door closed did Taylor truly relax, gasping for air. "Man, Arthur." While catching his breath, Taylor gave Arthur a thumbs up. "You're amazing! I didn't expect you to be such a smooth talker! Your thinking is incredible!" At that moment, Taylor's admiration for Arthur nearly reached its peak. He had been impressed by Arthur before, but now he saw that Arthur was not only articulate but also skilled in handling situations! Today, he had been prepared to be disciplined. Not only to face punishment, but they would have been despised by everyone at Governance University. Peeping at girls was not something to be proud of, and Finley, that man, was always looking to crush them. With such a significant fault, how could he not exploit it? With his deliberate spreading of the story, they wouldn't even know what they'd become. At that moment, they wouldn't have been able to clear their names. But Arthur resolved it all in just a few words! Arthur, holding a large jug of water, gulped it down. After being in the sun for so long, he was nearly dying of thirst. Setting down his cup, he asked with a laugh, "Are you going to peep at girls again in the future?" Hearing this, Taylor immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, no! I'm never looking again! I'd rather do anything else but not look at those girls again! It's too scary!" Taylor couldn't imagine how dreadful it would have been without Arthur there today. Not only would he have been despised by his schoolmates, but Sage and Mia would certainly have mocked him. And today, they were just lucky. If there had been surveillance, they wouldn't have escaped even if they had a hundred mouths. As they were talking, a knock at the door sounded. Arthur and Taylor immediately exchanged glances.
