The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. Nicholas gave Justin a cold look, annoyed by the tacit understanding between him and Sharon
Justin suddenly felt a chill down his spine–recording videos was just a professional habit, and he hadn’t expected it to come in handy. He really was deliberately caring about Sharon.
Nicholas said, “In that case, everyone involved in that dispute will run fifty laps.”
Hearing this decision, not only was Justin stunned, but even Margaret looked over in surprise. They all thought the punishment was too severe. Running fifty laps was indeed a lot.
Caesar clapped and said, “No wonder Mr. Baxter is famous for being fair and strict–he’s even willing to punish his fiancée like this. I’m truly impressed.”
This year’s freshman camp was barely a ceremony rather than a real training program, so Nicholas taking it so seriously was really unexpected.
Nicholas gave Caesar a cold glance and replied flatly, “As the chief instructor, I failed to manage my subordinates. I’ll finish the punishment with them.?
Now no one had any objections.
Justin suddenly said, “But the Pierce family members are in the infirmary. Isn’t it unfair for Sharon and the others to runt now?”
“Alright, we’ll wait for them to run together. Everyone should take note–next time anyone breaks the rules and fights, they’ll run a hundred laps.” Nicholas‘ words were intimidating. After all, if he’d punish even his fiancée, he’d surely be harsher on others.
But the Pierce family members were still in the infirmary, barely able to crawl, so completing today’s punishment was probably impossible.
Still, Lydia, Vivian, and most people were punished for watching the mess.
At the same time, they realized the rumors about Nicholas being impartial and ruthless were true. No one questioned the punishment he just announced since he also punished his fiancée.
After the crowd dispersed, Nicholas instinctively looked at Sharon, but she turned to face the Vance family’s branch members and ignored him completely. Nicholas felt depressed. She must be angry.
Brent walked over and said seriously, “Nick, how about I give you a suggestion?”
“Shut up,” Nicholas said in a bad mood, not wanting to listen.
“Why don’t you quit as an instructor? If you keep being chief instructor, by the end of the month, you might be single again,” Brent said.
Sharon was ignoring Nicholas entirely.
Everyone knew Sharon was cute and a top candidate for freshman campus belle. But only those who’d interacted with her knew her personality wasn’t as soft as she looked.
Sharon could casually take out 100 million Hunter Coins to make the Vance family change their heir, something no one with a softer personality would
- do.
Nicholas‘ character was well–known. He was always fair, but when it came to his relationship, things were different.
Nicholas paused, staring deeply at Sharon, and suddenly thought Brent’s suggestion might not be bad, especially since Sharon was currently eating him with such coldness.
Sharon ignored all the gazes. She directly walked toward Merrick, and Elise said nervously, “Thank you.”
No matter what, Sharon had been protecting them since arriving at the academy.

Merrick now looked a little awkward. He’d always disliked Roxanne’s descendants, which affected his impression of Sharon, but it was a fact that she stood up for the branch multiple times.
“It’s nothing. As the family head, I should look out for you,” Sharon said.
Besides, the Pierce family had likely targeted Elise and Merrick because of Sharon. Since they couldn’t get to her, they’d picked on the Vance branch to spite her.
Oriston Academy had been trying to get Sharon to enroll for ten years and wouldn’t expel her over something trivial.
Sharon added, “But I’m sorry you’re being dragged into running fifty laps.”
“I’m not afraid,” a little girl suddenly said, looking at Sharon with shining eyes full of admiration.
Sharon smiled and said, “Okay. Let’s run together.”
“You don’t have to run fifty laps,” a cold male voice said. Nicholás slowly walked over, glancing at Sharon cautiously.
