Chapter 358 Are You Heartless?

Samantha did that, they said, only to put Wallace Corporation out of business. She appeared to need to have a meaningful conversation with them.

With a detached expression, Samantha looked around the room where the students were gossiping about her. "Have you said enough?"

They glanced toward Samantha without realizing it when they heard her voice. "Samantha, since you dare to do such crazy things, then you shouldn't be afraid of us talking about it."

"Yeah, Samantha, I really didn't expect you to be this wicked despite your great charms."

"You don't even give your dad a break. Are you not terrified that you would burn in hell for what you have done?"

Samantha scowled. "It seems a little fast to make decisions before fully grasping the circumstances. Plus, Dale did far more to my mother and me than I am doing to him today! Despite your lack of knowledge, you are spreading rumors about the private lives of others. How are you any different from those keyboard warriors? Thankfully, I have a strong mental toughness; else, you would have long since driven me to death."

Samantha's tongue was not glib. She unexpectedly likened them to those obscene keyboard warriors. Though they were not, the keyboard warriors were all ignorant hatemongers. All the students were doing was defending Samantha's father.

"Samantha, since you claim that we don't know anything, please tell us why, after taking over Wallace Corporation, you canceled your father's bank card and expelled him from the Wallace Family. We're not precisely sure what transpired between you and Dale, but he is, after all, your biological father. I believe that if you carry out this action, you could perhaps be struck by lightning while still alive in addition to going to hell after death."

"Samantha, how heartless must you be to treat your father like this?"

Samantha was expressionless as she faced her classmates' interrogation. "My family's business is confidential in this regard. I don't think you outsiders need to understand. Just keep one thing in mind. Dale's actions today are the only reason he ended up this way! "Maybe I wouldn't have been so cruel and heartless toward him if he hadn't cheated on my mother, brought Amy and her mother home, enraged my mother and got her killed, and colluded with Amy and her mother to make me look foolish for three years to take over Wallace Corporation. Regarding your recent statement that I signed those troublesome artists to force Wallace Corporation into bankruptcy, I have to clarify. Those artists have dreams, which is why I signed them.

"My Dream Maker is customized just for them. My goal in starting this business was to revive Wallace Corporation. It's not that I wish for Wallace Corporation to fail. Wallace Corporation is, after all, the legacy my mother left me. What would I stand to gain if I bankrupted it?

The students exchanged glances after Samantha's remarks, and they then probed Samantha once more. "Samantha, you mentioned that the company was formed solely to improve Wallace Corporation. We are therefore intrigued. If you want Wallace Corporation to get better and reach its pinnacle again, why would you want to sign a bunch of troublesome artists? Ultimately, are you still planning to get revenge on Dale by purposefully signing troublesome artists who will never be able to recover to destroy Wallace

Corporation?"

Chapter 359 She Really Is Vicious

Why can't they think positively? They're truly toxic.

At that moment, Samantha had the distinct feeling she was talking to a brick wall. No matter what she said, they just wouldn't get it. Fine, if they wanted to misunderstand her, let them. Explaining herself to people like this was exhausting anyway. They would never understand how she felt. They were always on the outside looking in, quick to judge but never really seeing the truth.

So, she wouldn't bother anymore. Let them think whatever they want. Once the artists she had signed were fully cleared of any accusations, she would love to see what these people had to say then. When the rumors faded, when the insults stopped-when they could no longer call her artists disgusting or evil. The entertainment industry was a murky pond, that much was true. There were times when its depths seemed endless.

Her goal? To ensure her company's artists avoided those traps-the dirty rules, the shadows-so they could rise, unhindered, to the top, becoming international stars.

Imagine that, she thought with a quiet smile. One day, I'll have a roster full of award-winning actors and actresses. What a proud day that will be.

Of course, there was something even more satisfying than that.

Her husband, Finley Dean.

Her sudden silence only fueled her classmates' wild speculation. They were now convinced that signing those controversial artists had been part of her grand scheme to bring down Wallace Corporation, her family's company. Tsk, we knew it! She really is vicious.

Before long, class had started.

Samantha was focused, diligently listening to the lecture. But during the break, their homeroom teacher suddenly walked in from outside, making an unexpected announcement: "There's been a series of murders at the police station. They're short on hands. The forensic students have already gone to help, but it's not enough. So, we need some medical students to assist. There's no class this afternoon, so you're all coming with me to the outskirts to help search for body parts." What? Body parts?

The entire class was dumbstruck, staring blankly at their teacher. Is she serious? The police are short-staffed, and we are the backup? But we aren't forensic students!

Plus, isn't there a whole department full of forensics majors? Why drag us into this mess? This gruesome work isn't something a bunch of pampered kids like us should be doing!

One by one, they began to protest.

Chapter 359 She Really Is Vicious.

"Ma'am, we're not going."

"Yeah, no way we're doing that!"

"That's disgusting! We're not even qualified for this. There are plenty of forensic students. How could they possibly be short-handed?"

"Exactly! Searching for body parts is dangerous, and you want us to do it? You're practically sending us to our deaths!"

"We're not going, period!"

The outburst from the students left the homeroom teacher at a loss for words. She looked at them and said seriously, "If you really don't want to go, fine. I'll give you the choice. Those who don't want to go can stay here and continue with class. But if you're willing to help, stand up.

Not a single person moved.

The teacher frowned. "Those who go will earn extra credit."

Still, no one stood.

She added, "Five points."

At this, Samantha finally rose from her seat.

The others immediately shot her disgusted looks. "Is she out of her mind? She's really going to look for body parts just for a few points? Does she not realize she might run into the killer? What if she ends up dead herself?"

"I heard this case is brutal. The killer doesn't just murder people; he dismembers them! So many young women have already fallen victim to his blade. And look at Samantha, she's so pretty. Who knows? She could be the next one."
