Chapter 363: Innocence

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There was indeed something fishy about the incident. It seemed that those who

were related to Bryce had very vague memories of that period of time. It was

too much of a coincidence as it had indirectly erased all traces of Bryce’s alibi.

They were not able to find any clues from the students. They also did not find

anything unusual in the small forest. As such the school could not conclude

that Bryce was the one who had beaten Jaxxon. Furthermore, they were afraid

of the Torres family.

Therefore, the principal had no choice but to appease Jaxxon’s parents first. He

helped them pay for their medical fees and promised repeatedly that they

would investigate thoroughly.

Fortunately, Jaxxon was only a sophomore. If he was unable to write with his

right hand, his parents would probably be even more unforgiving.

After sending Jaxxon and his parents away, Seth and the Torres siblings were

the only ones left in the office.

Seth sighed. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in his

twenty years as a homeroom teacher.

“Bryce, Im going to ask you again. Did you hit Jaxxon?

Once again, Bryce assured him that he did not hit him. There was no doubt in

the teenager’s tone.

“Since you say so, then Pl believe you. However, it might be difficult to prove

didn’t hit him. I’l discuss it with the other teachers

Seth shook his head and looked at Franklin. “Mr. Torres, do you have anything

to say?

During the whole process, Franklin sat there steadily without speaking, except

for a few words. His expression was always indifferent, and it was hard to tell

what kind of attitude he had. So it was kind of scary.

Franklin shook his head. “Mr. Hill, I don’t have anything to say. I also believe

that Bryce wouldn’t do such a thing. Now, we can only wait for time to prove it.

rl have to trouble you and the school to investigate it.”

“Alright, we will do our best. This matter.just now, Jaxxon’s parents had also

said that if we could not handle it properly, they would call the police and let

them handle it. It would not be good for both sides. At that time, I can’t stop

the school from making any decisions. I hope that you can understand, Mr.

Torres.”

Lauren frowned. She found Mr. Hill’s words a little strange.

Did he mean that if there was no way to prove that Bryce was innocent, then

the school would assume that Bryce was the one who hit Jaxxon? For the sake

of the school’s image, they wanted to push Bryce out as a scapegoat?

Before Franklin could say anything, Lauren stood up and said, “No! This matter

must be investigated thoroughly. My third brother will definitely not hit

anyone. You can’t push him out just because you want to settle the matter

peacefully!

Lauren knew that if Bryce, a proud and innocent youth, was to be wrongly

accused by the school, this matter would become a thorn in his heart.

Seth looked at Lauren and thought, This little girl had become a big star in the

school today.’ He had also heard some teachers talking about her in the office.

“Lauren, you may be good at your studies, but…there are many things in

society that you can’t control. If Jaxxon’s parents sue your brother in court, it

will become even more troublesome. Bryce will have to bear more than just a

demerit and an apology. It will also be bad for the image of the Torres family.”

Lauren looked at Franklin as if she was waiting for him to give a fair and just

treatment

Franklin patted Lauren on the head and spoke ina calm but firm tone.

“The Torres family has never been afraid of being sued in court. We’re only

afraid of being wrongly accused. As I said before, I don’t believe my younger

brother would do such a thing. No matter what, Bryce can’t bear the accusation

of a school bully for no reason. If the school can’t investigate it, then just let

them call the police. The Torres family is always innocent.”

Franklin stood up after saying his thoughts, Lauren now felt that Franklin’s

legs were two meters long!

Franklin’s image in her heart was simply high and mighty!

He got home in time to help Quinn the last time, and now he was helping

Bryce.

Franklin was a great brother!

Lauren looked up and gave Franklin a thumbs up, he smiled and nodded,

accepting Lauren’s praise.

Seth was in a dilemma while he stood to one side.

“Mr. Hill, I won’t bother you any longer. Please let me know if there is any

progress in this matter.”
