The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Chapter 193

Chapter 193

It was because of her concern that he showed no displeasure. On the contrary, he smiled and said patiently, "No, I'm here and not at the detention center because I’ve already proved my innocence."

Pearl let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest lightly. She smiled and said, “If I'd known, I wouldn’t have come here. I was worried that you'd be in danger if you couldn't prove your innocence, so I came here to help you out. At the very least, I could ensure you'd still be a student here.”

Darius was moved by her words and curious to know what else she was up to. So, he shrugged and said, "You showed up in the right time. Dean

Fletcher doesn't believe the authorities’ decision, nor does he believe what I told him. He doesn’t want me to continue studying here."

Pearl's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's ridiculous!" She turned to Leon and said, "Dean Fletcher, I'm sure there must be a misunderstanding. Maybe we can solve things if you let us know your concerns.”

Before Darius could say anything, Leon laughed.

"Everyone knows about what's happened to the Chamberlain Group. That puts you firmly on Darius’ side, so it would only make sense for your so- called evidence to favor him."

He leaned back in his chair, looking smug.

This was Pearl's first time seeing him like this. Her mind went blank, and she turned to look at Darius awkwardly.

"What happened? I've spoken to Dean Fletcher before, and he wasn’t like this back then.”

Darius put a hand into his pocket and pulled his phone out. "I recorded it if you want to have a listen."

Despite his words, he played the recording without giving Leon and Pearl time to consider.

Leon's voice rang out, saying, "Someone did tell me not to allow you to stay on at Kingston University, and he paid an awful lot of money.” Darius paused the recording here and turned to look at Pearl.

"I think this is enough for you to understand what's going on.”

Pearl was dumbstruck. She wanted to say something, but they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching the office. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Along with it came a man's angry shouts.

"Isn't Kingston University supposed to be an excellent school? That doesn't seem to be the case! I've already been here twice today to take two people away. Now, I'm here for the third time!"

‘Tell me about it. In fact, the student was framed. Apparently, someone was jealous of him for being so outstanding and decided to slander him."

Pearl gaped. She couldn't accept that her dean was such a person, but it seemed she didn't have any other choice.

When Darius heard the noise in the corridor, he put his hand back into his pocket and looked at said baldly, "You’re going to be taken away soon. If you have any requests, now's the time to let me know, and I'll consider satisfying you."

Leon looked mockingly. ‘There's no need to be so pretentious. I'm sure this is exactly what you want to see."

Darius raised an eyebrow, but he didn't say a word. To him, there was nothing else to say. Leon was set on his path and wouldn't listen to him. Anyway, judging from Leon's choices, there was no need for him to say anything.

The officials had probably lost their patience after coming to Kingston

University multiple times on the same day. They kicked the door open unceremoniously.

Darius turned to look at them. He didn’t say anything when he saw that Donny wasn't around, merely nodding at them.

"Hello. I'm the one who called you."

The official in the lead glanced at him and nodded. "You should know what you need to prepare, then."

"It's ready.” Darius pulled his phone out. "He clearly intended to frame me, and I've recorded it on my phone.”

The official looked slightly appeased. ‘That's great. We won't have to go through unnecessary trouble, then.”

Then, he looked at Leon. "Dean Fletcher, you must come with us, regardless of the truth."

Obviously, Leon hadn't expected Darius to really do this. His eyes widened, and he bellowed,

"No, I can't go with you! I'm the dean of Kingston University, and you have no evidence to prove that I did anything wrong! You can't lock me up in the detention center!"

The official didn’t expect him to resist capture. His expression turned steely, and he said, "I have very little time to do a lot of things, and I've already wasted too much time because of Kingston University. It'd do you good to cooperate and come with me.”

"Darius must've bribed you!" Leon raised his voice. "You were so friendly with him but not with me. Moreover, you have nothing to verify the authenticity of his so-called evidence, so you have no right to take me away."

The official saw the fear on his face and sighed. "I find it hard to believe the dean of Kingston University said something like that. Your actions are a disgrace to the university."

This hurt Leon. He collapsed onto his chair, looking dazed.

The official's anger dissipated when he saw Leon stop resisting. He held out an arm and gestured for Leon to go with him.

"No matter what the truth is, you and the person who reported you have to come with us."
