Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations
Chapter 58

Immediately he said what was on his mind, he turned and marched out of the office, slamming the door behind him.

His face was flushed with anger and his fists were clenched tightly by his sides.

As he walked down the hallway, he could feel curious eyes on him from all directions.

Students whispered and pointed as he passed by, but he ignored them all. All of those were not his business.

Then he finally burst through the front doors of the school, he took a deep breath of fresh air. His heart was pounding in his chest and his mind was reeling.

At that moment he knows what to do.

'if they think I would just fold my hands and allow them have their way, they must be kidding, I'm going to show them I have family'

Ethan said to himself.

And then he reached into his pocket with a shaking hand and pulled out his phone.

He scrolled through his contacts until he found the one he was looking for.

"Lady Madison."

He hit the call button and held the phone up to his ear, waiting for her to answer. He didn't know what he was going to say to her, but he knew he needed to talk to someone, someone that would understand the pain he was passing through.

As the phone rang, he leaned against the wall of the school, feeling utterly alone and betrayed.

Ethan poured out the whole story to Lady Madison over the phone. He told her about the false video, the unfair dismissal, and how nobody would listen to his side. Lady Madison listened patiently, letting Ethan get everything off his chest.

When he finally finished, there was a moment of silence. Then Lady Madison spoke, her voice calm and reassuring.

"Ethan, you did the right thing by calling me. Don't worry about anything. I'm going to make some calls and get this sorted out immediately. Trust me, everything will be okay, I'm your grandmother and I promise you all of those nonsense must stop"

upon hearing what lady Madison just said Ethan felt a wave of relief wash over him. Just knowing that someone believed him and was on his side made all the difference. "Thank you, Lady Madison."

he said sincerely.

"I don't know what I would have done without you."

Lady Madison smiles, although he would have loved Ethan to call him Grandma, even if just once she would be over the moon, but she knows he's still new to everything he hasn't gotten used with everything just yet.

"You're welcome, Ethan. Now try to relax and wait. I'll take care of everything."

With that, she hung up, leaving Ethan feeling hopeful for the first time all day.

Meanwhile, back in Bradley office, the mood was jovial. Bradley and Marcus's father were celebrating their victory over Ethan.

They got what they wanted even though Ethan didn't apologize and everyone was fine with that.

At that moment Bradley leaned back in his chair, with a smug look on his face.

"We certainly put that troublemaker in his place, didn't we?"

he said with a chuckle.

Marcus's father grinned.

"Indeed we did. He will regret the day he ever crossed my son because I'm not just stopping here, I will take it from here. I'll make sure he pays for this."

"Oh, he will,"

Bradley agreed.

"Don't forget, he's only here on scholarship. It would be a shame if something happened to jeopardize his life after all of this..."

They both laughed heartily, relishing the thought of further ruining Ethan's life.

In their minds, the matter was settled. Ethan was out, and they had won but Marcus' father still had more plans.

Just then, the office door swung open.

Ethan strode in, his head held high.

Bradley and Marcus's dad looked up in surprise, their laughter dying on their lips upon seeing it was Ethan.

"Ethan? What are you doing here?" Bradley demanded, he was frowning.

"I thought we made it clear that you're no longer welcome at this institution."

Marcus stood up, with a haughty look on his face.

"Yeah, have you come to grovel and beg for forgiveness? Because it's too late for that."

However the look on Ethan's face shows he didn't look scared or sorry. In fact, he had a small smile on his face.

"No, I haven't come to beg,"

he said calmly.

" But I've come to watch you get what you deserve."

Before anyone could ask what he meant, two more figures entered the room. One was the school Chancellor, Mr.Harrington. The other was a stern-looking man that no one recognized.

Bradley paled at the sight of his boss. This was not a scheduled visit.

"Mr. Harrington,"

Bradley stammered, rising to his feet.

"What a pleasant surprise. To what do we owe this honor?"

Bradley knows how connected Harrington was. His voice was like the owner of the university, they gave him the keys to him, so everyone respects him and sees him as the boss.

However Harrington did not look pleased. In fact, he looked downright furious. He marched over to Bradley and, without a word, delivered a ringing slap to his face.

"Smack!!"

The sound echoed in the sudden silence of the office.

At that moment Bradley staggered back, holding his cheek in shock. "Sir, I don't understand..."

"How dare you!"

Mr.Harrington roared.

"Your actions just now have put this entire school at risk. You've brought shame to our institution!, with your useless actions"

Bradley was still in shock, he didn't know what he did that would put the school in danger, he was still in thought when Mr. Harrington gestured to the stranger.

"This is your replacement. You're fired, effective immediately. Clear out your office and leave the premises at once."

The office was stunned nobody could utter a word.

In the dead silence Marcus's dad found his voice first.

"Now wait.. just a minute,"

he blustered.

" Don't tell me it's because of him. you're taking this action against Bradley"

He pointed at Ethan.

"You can't possibly believe the lies of this...this commoner over the word of your own head of Disciplinary management! My son is the victim here!"

Then Mr.Harrington turned his icy glare on Marcus's father.

"Your son,"

He said sloy

"He's a bully and a cheat. He is expelled as of this moment. I suggest you take him and leave quietly, unless you want to join the unemployment line as well."
