Chapter 213
The three of them in the room didn’t dare to move!
Their eyes were practically glued to the door.
After a few seconds, Jarvis and Simon exchanged glances. As if by some unspoken agreement, they took a half-step forward, positioning themselves in front of Eileen.
Eileen was so scared her lips were trembling. She forced out, “I…I’m not scared!”
Jarvis shot her a side glance, “Yeah, you’re not scared, but we are.”
Eileen was taken aback.
Simon added, “We’re scared you’ll end up punching the staff again!”
Eileen was speechless.
Pouting, Eileen stood in the back, feeling utterly wronged.
She didn’t mean to hit anyone, it was just that those staff members were the ones who came after her first!
And it was her teacher who taught her that the best defense is a good offense!
She was only doing what her teacher taught her!
The footsteps outside were getting closer.
It seemed like they were heading straight for the RA’s office.
Jarvis quickly grabbed Simon and Eileen and shoved them behind the curtains in the corner of the room.
Then he positioned himself outside, whispering to the two of them, “Keep quiet.”
Both Eileen and Simon eagerly nodded in agreement!
Not long after, a man entered the RA’s office.
Then, there was the sound of rummaging.
Eileen sneakily peered through the gap in the curtains.
The outside was pitch black, all she could make out was a shadow moving about.
From that shadow, Eileen roughly estimated the person’s height and build.
The person was probably around 1.75 meters tall, with a medium build.
Eileen sized him up, thinking she could probably take him down with one punch.
So, she clenched her fist, ready to punch the guy in the nose if he came any closer!
The man was now opening drawers, the rummaging noises getting louder.
After a while, suddenly, a female voice rang out, “Who’s there!”
It was the Resident Advisor Darcey Jackson’s voice!
Darcey was back!
Eileen immediately turned to look at Simon and Jarvis.
They both nodded at her.
They all knew, it was time for the drama to unfold.
As expected, voices soon echoed from outside.
“It’s…it’s you…Principal, what are you doing here?” Darcey sounded panicked but was trying to keep her cool.
This was the first piece of information – the man outside was the Principal – Decker.
Looks like their guess was spot on, Decker really was a key figure!
Eileen peeked out from the gap and saw two blurry/shadows facing off.
Darcey was retreating while the Principal was advancing…
‘Mrs. Jackson, I came here to see you, I want to talk.”
Darcey sounded alarmed, “What ‘Mrs. Jackson’? Principal, you…you must be mistaken, that’s not my last name.”
The man inched forward, “Mrs. Jackson, I only recently found out. You’re Sally Jackson’s mother, aren’t you?”
“Sally? I don’t know any ‘Sally’!”
“Smack!” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Suddenly, the man grabbed Darcey’s arm and roughly pushed her onto a chair.
“Ah–” Darcey let out a short scream.
She tried to get up, but the man held her shoulder down.
In the confined Ghostly Registrar, the man coldly said, “I was going through some old items recently and found some pictures of Sally. It was the pictures that made me notice. I found that Sally’s mother looked familiar… Mrs. Jackson, we spoke on the phone five years ago, do you remember? It was the day of Sally’s funeral, you wouldn’t let me attend…”
Darcey swallowed, “Principal…”
“Principal?” The man scoffed, “You didn’t call me that then. You called me scum, a beast, you said I deceived your daughter, but did I really? She willingly approached me…”
“Decker!” Darcey’s body was shaking, she was on the verge of breaking down.
She knew she couldn’t hide any longer, so she didn’t hold back.
Furiously, she spat, “You beast!”
“Smack!” The man suddenly slapped Darcey across the face.
Then, he grabbed her hair and violently slammed her head on the table.
Thud.”
After he was done, he sneered, “I’m the beast? How did I become the beast? You guys were the ones who pushed her to jump, who called her shameless, who allowed her to be slaughtered. She died under your mockery and condemnation!”
“No! That’s not true! You ruined my daughter, you killed Tessie and Ruby! You’re not human! You’re a devil! You’re not human!”
“Hahaha! I knew it! You came to school to be an RA, just to keep an eye on me. Keep an eye, I’ll let you keep an eye!”
With that, the raging man grabbed Darcey’s hair again and slammed her head against the table.
“Oh, my God!”
At this point, Simon couldn’t stand it any longer.
Full of heroism, he ripped the curtains open and charged out!
“Bartley!” Jarvis tried to pull him back, but he was too late.
As soon as Simon emerged, he threw a punch at the Principal’s face.
The Principal took a step back after getting punched, and was about to retaliate against Simon.
But Jarvis was already there. He pulled Simon towards himself, dodging the attack, and landed a kick on the Principal’s stomach.
The Principal eyed the two young men in front of him, assessed the situation, held his belly, gritted his teeth, and turned to run!
Simon wanted to give chase, but Jarvis quickly held him back, “He’s a school staff.”
Simon paused as if only just realizing what had happened.
Jarvis gave a small smile. He patted Simon on the back, praising, “You’re really brave.”
Simon didn’t respond. He crouched down to check on Darcey.
Eileen also stepped out at this point. She turned on her flashlight and shone the white beam on Darcey.
Darcey sat on the chair, clutching her face, her head covered in blood, sobbing in agony and despair.
Darcey’s acting was truly top-notch.
The room fell into a moment of silence.
– [It may not be the best time to say this, but Darcey’s acting definitely outshines many young, up-and- coming actors.]
-[So here’s the full scoop on this story: The daughter of the Resident Advisor was deceived and impregnated by a nasty principal five years ago, leading her to choose suicide by jumping off a building. Out for revenge, the Resident Advisor changed her identity to become the school’s Resident Advisor. But from three years ago, she discovered that this wicked dude had killed six other girls in a row.]
-[This bad person is really too much. Although this is only a story, I already feel very angry! Those poor girls were so innocent!]
Suddenly, the lights in the room flicked on.
Looks like the show’s over, so the power’s back on. Eileen switched off her flashlight, grabbed a chair, and sat across from the Resident Advisor.
She looked into the Resident Advisor’s eyes, and suddenly popped the question, “Ma’am, I gotta ask, in these past three years, you knew that the principal was offing people left and right, and you knew he was the one doing it. So, did you ever think about calling the cops?”
