<strong>Chapter 363: Innocence</strong>


    Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


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


    were rted 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


    used by the school, this matter would be a thorn in his heart.


    Seth looked at Lauren and thought, This little girl had be 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 be 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 used. As I said before, I don’t believe my younger


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


    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 thest 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,


    epting 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.”
