Ethan squeezed his fist, his mind racing knowing Bradley just said he had been suspended.

He couldn't believe what was happening. Marcus's dad was still pointing at him, his face red with anger and he seems like someone who is not stopping at just suspension alone.

"Mr Bradley I'm disappointed in your judgment, This boy hired thugs to attack my son!, and all you would do was to suspend him and later talk with the committee for him to be expelled. I'm disappointed in Golden Plate, if this is the best you can do."

He shouted.

"I demand that he be expelled immediately! and I will take the rest form there"

Ethan at that moment opened his mouth to protest, but no words came out. He was too shocked to speak.

He thought everything would be different if he stood up and fought but he was wrong.

It seems no one would listen to a poor man's words.

However that was before he's going to use his influence to help the weak, starting with himself.

Just then, Marcus took out his phone with a smirk.

"I have proof,"

he said, holding the phone up for Bradley to see.

His father immediately collected the phone and played the video.

The office went silent as everyone watched the video play. There was no sound in the video, but the images were clear.

It showed the moment the thugs arrived at the warehouse, Marcus made it seem like Ethan had brought them there.

Then he cut to the thugs leaving after beating him, with Marcus adding another clip to make it appear that Ethan was responsible.

Upon seeing what was said as evidence Ethan frowned as he watched.

It was obvious the video had been edited, but would the school even realize that? after the hate they have for him

The final part of the video showed Ethan beating up Marcus and stripping off his clothes.

At that moment Ethan shook his head. He knew how bad it looked but he didn't care Marcus deserved everything he got, and if he has the opportunity to do it again, he will not hold back he will do it even more this time around. Read exclusive chapters at empire

At that moment Bradley's face turned red as he watched.

He glared at Ethan with deadly eyes.

"This is unacceptable in our school!"

he said.

"We cannot tolerate this kind of violence at our school."

Marcus's dad nodded vigorously.

"I agree, He must be expelled at once. I won't have my son attending school with a criminal, not just a bully but also a pervert, it's unacceptable, so you know what this video would do to the school Reputation of it get out, only what I have to do is blur my son face, but the school would be Severely damage"

Ethan at that moment just took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

He looked directly at Bradley.

"Sir, if you believe this video, then I have nothing more to say, it just shows you have an agenda against me, just like the first judgment you did the first time"

he said quietly.

"It would be a waste of my time to try to defend myself, because you clearly won't listen to me."

Upon hearing what Ethan just said Bradley sputtered, he couldn't believe the fool went away from defending himself to attacking him for being Corrupt and having something against him.

"How dare you speak to me that way!"

He said with a deadly voice.

however Ethan didn't allow Bradley words and voice scare him he continued, his voice getting louder. "I have been bullied at this school since the day I arrived,"

he said.

"And nobody has ever once stood up for me or given me justice, but instead you know I was being bullied the first time I came here, what did you do, you half my Scholarship thinking I would quit, but I didn't, that only gave room to the other student including Marcus to bully me even more, just because I need to work and raise money for the remaining half of my school fee, if you want me to believe I'm lying that I got it all wrong, then do justice to this."

Marcus immediately scoffed. "Justice? You don't deserve justice, you loser."

At that moment Bradley held up a hand he couldn't take the nonsense anymore.

"Enough!"

he said to Marcus. He turned back to Ethan.

"If what you say is true, you should have followed the proper procedures by reporting it, and bring evidence also and stop crying in my office, thinking I will go look for evidence for you, and from what I'm seeing here you're guilty of what happened to Marcus yesterday, you beat him up and strip him naked"

he said sternly.

"We have a system in place for dealing with bullying and this is above bully"

Ethan wouldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"Your system is a joke, system you don't even obeyed"

he said.

" It seems you must have forgotten the amount of time I have reported everything, even Marcus here, but nobody ever did anything but now you want to tell me you have a system."

Marcus's dad who was already seated before stood up, pointing a finger at Ethan angrily.

"This boy is clearly unstable."

he said to Bradley.

"He needs to be removed from this school before he hurts someone else."

without saying any more words Bradley sighed heavily.

He opened a drawer in his desk and took out a piece of paper.

"Ethan, I'm sorry, but I have no choice, This letter officially expels you from this institution."

Ethan felt like he had been punched in the gut. He stared at Bradley in disbelief then he sighe.

'I know this was coming, he has already made his decision right from the start, he just wanted to make it look as if he never wanted to.'

Ethan said to himself.

However Bradley wasn't finished. "Furthermore, you must apologize to Marcus for your actions"

he said.

"I want you to do it right now, in front of everyone in the school Auditorium."

upon hearing what Bradley just said Ethan stood up slowly, his hands shaking with anger.

He looked around the office, at Marcus's smug face, then at Bradley's stern expression, then he gazed at Marcus's dad's triumphant grin.

"You want me to apologize?"

Ethan asked, his voice low and trembling.

"After everything that's happened, after all the times I've been bullied and nobody did anything, you want me to say sorry for standing my ground and fighting back for once, you want me to apologize?"

At that moment he took a step forward, his eyes blazing.

"No!!"

he said firmly.

"I won't apologize. Not now, not ever. All of you should be the ones apologizing to me for failing to keep me safe at this school, and for failing to take action and been biased"
