Chapter 177
Seeing Winford’s attention return to them, Paul almost broke out in a cold
sweat.
Principal George sighed and said, “This time it was my mistake, I hope Mr. Winford can forgive me!”
He wanted to invite Winford so much that when he heard Paul had a way to do it, he let him take charge without hesitation. However, he didn’t expect that in the process, things would turn out like this!
Although it was Paul who did it, it was still his people involved. It was his lack of discipline and inadequate supervision, so it was his responsibility, and there was no excuse for it.
Paul saw George take responsibility and breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly cried out to defend himself, “It’s not my fault, Mr. Winford! That Elva deceived me. She said she was someone close to Mr. Winford. and even claimed she lived in Sunset Vista. She even brought a whole bunch of people to Sunset Vista to have fun!”
“By the way, she also took my niece and the others to see the dress that Mr. Winford had bought, saying that it was purchased for her by Mr. Winford. Having seen so much, I naturally believed her words without a doubt. Little did I know that she was actually just the daughter of a maid!”
Ophelia’s pretty face instantly fell.
Elva took people to Sunset Vista to play. She knew she happened to run into them, but she had no idea that the other party had actually brought people into her dressing room!
Thinking that Elva might have come across that dress she cherished so much, her face darkened, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. If Elva were still here, she would have definitely wanted to throw a couple of punches at her!
Winford saw what she was thinking. Even though he was still angry with her at that moment, he couldn’t bear to see her sad. He touched her hair and comforted her, saying, “Forget about that dress; I’ll have a new one custom–made for you.”
“I don’t,” Ophelia said unhappily.
That dress was not just a dress; it was a surprise he had specially prepared for her. Every time she thought of it, she could feel happiness and joy, as it held a different meaning. How could she just say she didn’t want it and let it go?
“I’ll go ask her later if she actually touched my skirt!” She snorted coldly and said with a fierce look in her eyes..
Suddenly, she turned to Paul and said coldly, “Let’s not talk about. anything else. I just want to ask you, what happened to my heel?”
“Don’t tell me that the shoes prepared for the school anniversary were of such poor quality that after just a few steps, a perfectly good heel could break!”
Without a doubt, her shoe heel was definitely tampered with by someone!
Although the broken heel happened to help her, she had no intention of letting the person behind the design that harmed her get away!
Paul’s expression suddenly froze.
He naturally knew about this matter. His niece Sarah had taken action. herself, and while doing so, she communicated with him to make Ophelia
look bad in order to please Elva.
At that time, the uncle and nephew were still dreaming about how they would soar to success after winning Elva’s favor!
Who would have thought that the situation was so absurd? Elva was just a fraud, and the real target was actually the people around Mr. Winford!
As soon as Ophelia saw Paul’s expression, she knew she hadn’t guessed Wrong: the matter was indeed related to him!
She let out a cold snort and said, “I wonder how Mr. Griffin intended to explain this? I almost fell from such a high platform!”
Paul endured Winford’s lifeless gaze, his face twitching with tension and devoid of any color.
George sighed.
He could stand up and take responsibility for the matter of exchanging quotas, but this incident was different; it was entirely Paul’s personal behavior!
Paul regretted it deeply, “Mr., Mr. Winford…”
Winford ignored it. He lowered his gaze to the girl in his arms and asked lightly, “How do you want to deal with this?”
“Let her handle it?”
Ophelia looked at the two principals in front of her.
When her gaze fell on George, it paused slightly.
George was a very nice person–although she had not been in school for long, she had already felt it.

Before she entered Ventura University, she had happened to see his deeds. and admired him greatly; he was a truly excellent principal who dedicated himself to teaching and nurturing students.
So she said, “Mr. Estrada didn’t do anything wrong; at most, he was just negligent in his supervision. He has already apologized, so let’s just leave it at that.”
