Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations
Chapter 59

At that moment Ethan Cheeks raised and it was almost covering his eyes, finally things had started moving towards the right direction.

He watched as Mr. Harrington's words sank in.

The shock was evident on Marcus and his father's faces as both of them started looking at each other in disbelief.

The office was silent for a beat, the tension palpable as Bradley was almost swallowing a fly

Then Mr. Harrington continued, his voice firm and uncompromising.

"We will be taking possession of this video and turning it over to the authorities for a thorough investigation of this matter. And If it comes to light that Marcus was indeed the one who orchestrated the attack with those thugs, and Ethan only defended himself, and decided to fight back in the process."

he pointed at Marcus.

"He will be facing serious criminal charges. Juvenile detention will be the least of his worries, I will personally make sure he goes in for his crimes and everything he has told to Mr Ethan."

upon hearing Mr Harrington words Marcus's father seemed to snap out of his shocked state, his face going pale. immediately without wasting anymore time he rushed forward, falling to his knees in front of Mr. Harrington.

"Please, sir, I beg of you! This is all a terrible misunderstanding!"

His voice started shaking and filled with desperation seeping through every word.

"My son...he couldn't have...he wouldn't..."

Marcus' father couldn't complete his words because he knew the truth, he was too ashamed to say so.

However his pleading tone betrayed his knowledge that Marcus was going to give in so quickly.

Marcus, too, seemed to realize the gravity of the situation and without wasting anymore time.

He joined his father on the floor, tears started streaming down his face.

Ethan's jaw dropped immediately seeing Marcus kneeling down, for someone who was just like a mummy recently.

He knows Marcus and his parents were just pretending anyway.

With a low and shaking voice Marcus said.

"I'm sorry!"

he wailed.

"I'm so sorry! The video...it was edited, I swear! I never meant for any of this to happen! Please, you can't send me to jail!, I'm too young to be going to jail"

immediately his eyes widened as hot sweat covered his face.

"I will change, I will be a good person from now on, please forgive me"

Mr. Harrington looked down at them, his expression unmoving.

He's just managing to tell himself not to kneel in front of Ethan.

'So the boy is lady Madison only grandson, how, how is that even possible, oh my goodness'

The thought kept on ringing in his head.

However he clearly has an order from the owners of the school and he could tell they were shaking in their pants also.

"Spare me your crocodile tears. The evidence speaks for itself. You've caused a lot of harm, young man, and it's time to face the consequences of all your wrong doings."

At that moment some security guard entered the office, and he

nodded to the security guards who had entered.

"Please escort Marcus and his parents off the premises. Their business here is finished, when the police need you for further investigation they will do so to communicate with you."

Upon hearing what Mr Harrington just said the guards moved forward, immediately they firmly took hold of Marcus and his blubbering father, his mother who was just standing and couldn't say a word followed them from behind quietly.

As they were dragged towards the door.

Marcus continued to plead, his cries echoing down the hallway.

"No, please! I'll do anything! Don't do this to me! please no other top school would accept me again, my life can be ruined.. because of this"

Mr Harrington shakes his head.

"you should have thought so when you went around bullying the weak"

Just before the security guard could force them to disappear from view, Mr. Harrington called out.

"Oh, and Bradley? You should expect a summon from the court soon. We've uncovered proof that you've been accepting bribes to turn a blind eye to the bullying in this school. Your days of corruption are over and you're going to pay for it also."

However Bradley, who had been watching the scene unfold in shocked silence, went ashen at these words, losing his job now he would soon be going to court for corruption.

He shook his head in disappointment.

Then he opened his mouth as if to protest, but no words came out. The guards grabbed him too, hauling him away to face his own consequences.

As the door slammed shut behind them, Ethan let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.

If not for lady Madison he wouldn't have gotten justice, even though he has the system and money but he doesn't have the connection just yet, and today just shows, you need connection as much as money.

Both of them work hand in hand.

He sank into the nearest chair, his legs suddenly feeling like jelly.

It was over. After all this time, all this suffering, it was finally over for Marcus.

immediately Mr. Harrington turned to him, his stern expression suddenly got softer.

He sat down next to Ethan, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Ethan, I want you to listen to me very carefully."

he said, his tone gentle but serious. "Everything you've endured at this school is unacceptable. The harassment, the bullying, the blatant disregard for your well-being...it ends now. I give you my solemn promise that from this day forward, you will be safe here.

My new head of disciplinary management and I will personally ensure that anyone who thinks so much about mistreating you will face swift and severe consequences. You have my word."

Ethan at that moment felt tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. This was the first time someone is actually promising him something and with the look on his face, he would tell he wasn't messing around. He's damn serious. He'd waited so long to hear those words, to feel like someone actually cared now he's hearing them all thanks to lady Madison.

"Thank you, Mr. Harrington,"

he managed to say, his voice thick with emotion.

"You have no idea how much this means to me."

Mr. Harrington couldn't help but smile, patting Ethan's back.

"You're a brave young man, Ethan. Never forget that. Now, I want you to have my personal contact information, as well as that of the new disciplinary head. If you ever feel threatened, or if anyone gives you trouble, you call us directly. Day or night. Understand?"

Ethan nodded, taking the proffered business cards with a shaking hand. "I will. I promise."

With a final reassuring squeeze of his shoulder, Mr. Harrington stood up.

"Good. Now, go on to class. I'm sure you have a lot of catching up to do. But remember, my door is always open if you need anything."

Ethan stood up too, feeling a rush of gratitude and relief.

"I can't thank you enough, sir. Really. For everything."

At that moment They shook hands, a gesture of respect and understanding passing between them. Then, with a deep breath, Ethan turned and was about to leave the office when Mr Harrington said.

"Ethan, your identity secret remains with us and Lady Madison said we shouldn't give you a Special treatment but look after you"
