Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 323

“Mr. Colton, you two—”

Grayson’s voice shook with anger. “You’re the principal, and you’re messing around with a teacher?”

“Director, please, I’m so sorry. I’ll do anything. Just don’t let this get out, please,” Mr. Colton begged, sweat pouring down his face. He looked like he knew his days in that office were numbered.

Aiden just scoffed. “Seriously, Mr. Colton? After all the dirty things you’ve done, you still have the nerve to beg Grayson for help?”

Grayson and Mr. Colton had always been on good terms, but he had no clue about the affair with Ms. Santoro.

A married man. A married woman. The principal. A teacher.

“This is outrageous. Absolutely outrageous. Don’t even think about me covering this up for you.”

Ms. Santoro’s legs buckled and she dropped to the floor. Her face went paper white, and for a second, she couldn’t even speak.

How did it come to this? Nobody at school had any idea about her and Mr. Colton. How did it all get exposed now?

And in front of everyone, like this?

Suddenly, her eyes went wide.

Lydia.

It had to be her.

She remembered the time she and Mr. Colton snuck away to the riverbank outside town. Right after they finished, she saw Lydia walk by with a basket on her back. She’d tried to test Lydia the next day at school, but Lydia didn’t let anything slip. Ms. Santoro never thought Lydia had really seen anything.

But the video that just played, that was clearly in the principal’s office. How did it get out?

Ms. Santoro just sat there, completely stunned.

She had no idea that this was only the beginning.

The scandalous video didn’t just end up in the security room. It was also posted online, with the sensitive parts blurred out.

Alongside it, there was footage of Lydia during her final exam and a short statement.

Calling it a statement was generous—it was more of a mic drop.
