Always Been Yours

Chapter 267

Hurriedly, Tessa stood in front of her brother and stared at Bruce. “Excuse me, if you didn’t do well in your literature classes when you were young, I would suggest you retake the subject, and I’ll pay for all your medical bills and other fees.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Stumped for words, Bruce glared at Julius and hinted that he should say something.

Julius cleared his throat. “Miss Reinhart, I didn’t ask you here to educate my pupil but rather to settle the case of your brother hitting someone else. The university has decided to expel him. Follow me to complete the procedure.”

“What’s the reason?” she questioned coldly. “The reason as to why my brother hit someone and also, what about the evidence?”

“So many people in the school saw it and they’re all my witnesses. Furthermore, there’s also surveillance at the university entrance. You can check it out yourself” Bruce couldn’t help but interject.

Convinced that Timothy wouldn’t start a fight without a reason, Tessa was still worried that she wouldn’t be able to view the surveillance, so when she heard that, she nodded cheerfully. “Sure, let’s check the surveillance then.”

In the end, the surveillance showed that it was Bruce jostling around,and the people around him were sneering inaudibly, but this was enough.

“The one who blocked Timothy’s path first was him, and was the person who pushed him first. Also, he was the person who was speaking the whole time. So, I don’t understand why the university is only taking actions against my brother,” Tessa said indifferently.

“This..” Julius muttered in embarrassment.

Timothy was a good student, starting a company even before graduation, and this was very helpful for the university’s publicity. However, Julius couldn’t defy the instructions from the higher-ups at the same time.

Between the fate of a student and the survival of a university, Julius was still able to tell which was more important.

Then, Tessa added, “If the university insists on expelling Timothy, then Bruce and the group of students in the surveillance have to receive equally severe punishments.”

While he couldn’t offend the Liston Family, he was also unable to refute Tessa’s reasoning. And so, all of them entered a stalemate just like that.

After a long while, Julius said, “Timothy’s actions have affected the university in the

end. I can revoke the decision to expel him but he has to have a huge demerit. He won’t be able to study abroad and has to stay home to repent for a period of time.”

Upon hearing that, Timothy didn’t say anything else anymore. As he had already started his own company and it was now taking off, he didn’t plan to study abroad either. However, he was still upset that he was almost expelled and had a huge demerit because of something like this.

However, the university had already made it clear that they wanted to punish him, and he had a hunch that even if he didn’t have a demerit this time, they would still find another excuse to pass judgment on him. When that time came, they would probably expel him for real.

After coming out of Julius’ office, Tessa was a little baffled. “Tim, what happened? What did he say that made you hit him?”

Shaking his head, Timothy didn’t want his sister to hear those nasty comments.

On the other hand, Tessa didn’t want to force him if he didn’t want to tell, but she thought that the university’s attitude was a little odd. “Why do I have a feeling that your university is picking on you and completely silent about the other student named Bruce Liston?”

This was the same question on Timothy’s mind, but judging from everything that happened recently, it was only possible that Bruce was the one who set up the trap today.

“His family is a shareholder of the university and he has been doing mean things in the school. I went to him for help the last time but he turned me down. After that, Master Kieran helped me out, and I offended him because of that. Maybe it was since that time that he held a grudge against me and used this opportunity to get back at me when he heard the rumors that we’ve fallen out with the Sawyer Family.”

Thinking about it, Tessa thought that it made sense as anger sparked within her. “These people are just bullying others because of their background. This is too much!

Tim, don’t brood over it. You’re an outstanding person, and you’ll only be staying home for a short period. There are so many people with demerits and you can come back in the future.” In a second, she gazed at her brother with concern.

Shaking his head, Timothy responded, “I’m fine. In fact, I will have more time to spend on my work and you now. Didn’t you say that I lost some weight? I’ll use this opportunity to rest well.”
