My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 373

Thinking this, Jasper shot Miles a glare, then slammed his hand on the table, scolding, "Miles, do you realize your mistake?"

Miles bit his lip hard, his tone filled with stubbornness. "I didn't do anything wrong!"

'There's nothing wrong with me fighting back when others attack me for no reason. Am I just supposed to stand here and take the beating? That doesn't make sense,' Miles thought.

Looking at Miles, who was covered in bruises but still refused to admit his mistake, Jasper's anger only flared up even more.

"Stubborn as a mule, I really think you're hopeless." He angrily pointed at Miles's nose and scolded, "Not only are your grades terrible, but now you can't even behave properly."

Miles gritted his teeth, deciding not to argue back.

Jasper grew more agitated and eventually threatened, "Listen up, if you don't apologize to these three students and get their forgiveness, convincing them not to pursue this further, there will be no place for you in this school."

There was no other way. He couldn't afford to offend the other three families. The only way to calm them down was to sacrifice Miles. Only by doing this could he keep his job.

"You're expelling me?" Miles asked in disbelief, clenching his fists like a lone, cornered animal, and argued, "They provoked me first, and I was just defending myself. Why should I apologize? I won't accept it!"

'Even if I have to, they should apologize to me as well. Why am I the only one being held responsible? This isn't fair,' Miles thought.

"Why?" Nathan, whose eyes had been swollen from the beating, sneered arrogantly and said nonchalantly, "Because I'm the son of a school board member. In this school, if I want, anyone can be expelled."

Hearing this, Miles slumped his shoulders in frustration. He gritted his teeth and muttered in confusion, "I've never done anything to offend you. Why are you targeting me?"

Suppressing his jealousy, Nathan lowered his voice and leaned in close to his ear, saying," Blame yourself for not knowing your place. You shouldn't have taken the girl I like! "

Hearing this, Miles looked even more puzzled. 'Recently, I've been focused entirely on my studies. When did I ever try to take the girl he likes?' he wondered.

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Miles replied.

Seeing Miles's innocent expression, Nathan's face grew darker.

Nathan ran his fingers through his blonde hair, then coldly said, "Miles, be a man and own up to your actions. Don't pretend you know nothing!"

Miles was speechless. 'Pretending what?' he wondered.
