Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Miss Lawrence Showed up
Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain
The young girl stood there quietly, her face showing no emotion, her gaze fixed on the torn book on the ground. Who was the real victim here?
โWho tore this?โ
Ben averted his gaze. ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฃ๐๐ญ.๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ
Elizabeth explained, โHe did.โ
Frank wished he could grab Ben by the ear, โWhy on earth would you tear
Elizabethโs book?โ โShe threw mine first.โ
Ben felt wronged. Would he have torn a book it Elizabeth hadnโt thrown his first?
โFirst off, he didnโt have any evidence to show I was the one who threw the book. He just assumed it was me and ripped my book. Thatโs not right.โ
โGiven the gravity of the situation, we need to call the parents. Mr. Berwick, call Benโs parents immediately and ask them to come to the school.โ
โSuch behavior cannot be tolerated. There must be a serious warning and punishment.โ
Elizabeth firmly instructed Frank.
Frank was speechless.
Wait a minute, wasnโt he a teacher?
Why did he feel as if Elizabeth was the one in charge?
And why was he subconsciously reaching for his phone to make the call?
Ben was unhappy, โItโs such a small matter. Why call the parents?โ
Frank massaged his temples, โFine, letโs call both sets of parents.โ
Elizabeth had no objections.
Not daring to inform his parents of the situation, for they wouldnโt believe him due to his habitual mischief, Ben opted to call a distant cousin for help.
Although Elizabeth was part of the Wilson family, his cousin had some influence. They werenโt close until this summer when they bonded over a video game.
Even if someone from the Wilson family showed up, he wouldnโt be afraid. While waiting for the parents, Frank tried to understand the sequence of events.
โSo, you found your book in the trash, and you assumed Elizabeth did it, right?โ
Ben explained, โWho else could it be? Besides, she disappeared during gym class and no one can vouch for her.โ
Frank took a moment, then asked Elizabeth, โWhatโs your side?โ
โI didnโt do it,โ Elizabethโs voice was neutral, โI was sleeping.โ
Now, Frank was in a dilemma.
There was no evidence proving that Elizabeth was guilty, but also none proving her innocence.
All her classmates had alibis, and with her disappearing for half the class without anyone verifying she was resting, how could he conclude?
Could it beโฆ
Could books just fly into trash bins?
He couldnโt mess this up; the Wilson family was influential, and Benโs parents were notorious for making a fuss. Could this be the end of his career?
When Frank called the parents, he couldnโt get through to Sir and Lady Wilson and reached Jack instead.
Jack, thinking some grave incident had occurred involving Elizabeth, was ready to rush over. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a message from Linda saying Elizabeth had cheated.
The message read that Elizabeth cheated in the exam and she didnโt know what to do.
Jack was flabbergasted. Was Elizabeth called in for cheating?
He felt a mix of disappointment, anger, embarrassment, and a hint of โI knew it.โ
He was too embarrassed to show up, but he couldnโt avoid it.
Upon arriving at the office, before Frank could speak, Jack hastily apologized, โMr. Berwick, Iโm sorry. Elizabeth was wrong, and weโll ensure this doesnโt happen again. Please give her one more chance, and Iโll make sure she focuses on her studies and doesnโt cheat again.โ
โHuh?โ
Frank looked puzzled and after a moment hastily corrected, โElizabeth didnโt cheat. It was a misunderstanding. Itโs been cleared up.โ Jack stared at Frank in astonishment..
