If Joanna refused to forgive them, they would face the possibility of being expelled. Losing some face was nothing compared to being expelled.
Joanna still looked at them with cold eyes, showing no sympathy, and spoke in a cold tone without any room for negotiation: "I’m sorry, but no matter what you do, I will not forgive you."
How could she not see that Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit were not really repentant at all?
Although she still didn’t know why the two of them came to apologize to her, it was definitely not voluntary.
They didn’t think they had really done anything wrong.
They appeared sincere in apologizing to her on the surface, but who knows what they really thought of her in their hearts.
If it weren’t for their fake accounts being exposed, Joanna would never have believed that the nasty comments on the forum were actually from them.
They had called her a "siren" and a "slut," so if she chose to forgive them, she would be humiliating herself.
"Did you hear that?" Aria Rowlett looked at the dumbfounded faces of Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit, frowning, "My baby Joanna will not forgive you, so you can leave now. I don’t know where you got the nerve to do something so shameless and then have the audacity to beg for forgiveness."
"Joanna is so tolerant, if it were me, I would have beaten you to death."
People around them also started discussing.
"Yeah, I can’t believe they have the nerve to come over. If it were me, I would have beaten them up."
"Me too, so despicable!"
"Haha, if it were me, I’d beat them up every time I saw them."
"If these scumbags were in my hands, they wouldn’t live past tomorrow."
Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit listened to the surrounding discussions, their faces turning from pale to green, then from green to white.
Seeing Joanna’s cold and indifferent face, they felt chilled to the bone.
No matter what they said or did today, Joanna would not forgive them.
The two of them had been submissive before, just so they could stay in school.
Now that there was no hope, their attitudes changed abruptly.
Lillian White’s face sank, her tone turning cold: "Joanna, will you really not give us a chance? Do you really... want to be so ruthless?"
Joanna didn’t know that the principal had talked to them.
Naturally, she didn’t know about the expulsion either.
She raised her eyebrows, feeling baffled: "The ones being ruthless are you, not me."
"Joanna, don’t pretend like you know nothing." Lillian White clenched her lips, glaring at her like an enemy, her eyes filled with hatred, making people around her feel uneasy.
"Yes, Gretchen and I have done something to hurt you. But haven’t we already apologized to you in public? What more do you want? Even if we were wrong, does it mean you’re right to drive us out and kill us?"
"We are six roommates in a dormitory. Do you want to drive each one of us out of the school to be satisfied? From now on, anyone who displeases you, can you let your sugar daddy kick them out of the school?"
"How can you treat your classmates and roommates ? Don’t you think you are evil?"
Joanna thought she had heard wrong.
She didn’t know how Lillian had the nerve to say those words out loud.
A person who had been hostile to her both openly and secretly, and even spread rumors and slandered her, actually called her evil.
