Chapter 360: Lauren Is My Younger Sister
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Bryce appeared in the classroom, his classmates looked at him strangely.
Mr. Zander was in the classroom, but their homeroom teacher was also there.
Bryce sat in his seat and nudged his deskmate’s elbow.
“What’s going on? Why is the homeroom teacher here? Isn’t it math class?”
Before his deskmate could answer, the homeroom teacher spoke.
“Bryce, follow me out for a moment.”
The homeroom teacher was an English teacher. Bryce’s English was usually quite good. Therefore, the homeroom teacher rarely looked for him.
Bryce stood up and followed the homeroom teacher out.
Once the homeroom teacher left, the entire class started to get noisy. They were all discussing something in low voices.
Lauren sat beside Tiffany and asked, “What’s wrong? Why does everyone in the class seem to be discussing something?”
“Yes. They’re talking about how Bryce bullied others this afternoon.”
“Bryce bullied others? How could that be?”
“I’m not sure. He disappeared after the last period of class this morning. After that, a second-year class teacher came to find Bryce and said that he had beaten up a student in his class. I also heard that Bryce didn’t return to his dormitory this afternoon. So, the class teacher came over to wait for Bryce.”
Tiffany added, “The parents of the boy who was beaten up went to the principal’s office.”
That was impossible.
Although Bryce had indeed disappeared after class today, Lauren believed that Bryce would not do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding.
She jumped down from the chair and was about to leave when Mr. Zander stopped her. “Lauren, where are you going?”
“I’m going to look for Bryce.”
“What for? It’s math class now. He’ll have to bear the responsibility for what happened to him.”
Lauren glanced at Mr. Zander. “Bryce is my brother. He’s my biological brother. Since something happened to him, of course I am concerned!”
Then, Lauren broke free of Mr. Zander’s hand and ran out of the room.
Fortunately, the homeroom teacher did not bring Bryce too far. They were just chatting in a corner at the end of the corridor.
Lauren did not go forward. Instead, she watched from afar.
The homeroom teacher’s attitude was gentle and rational.
After a short while, the homeroom teacher stood by the side and made a phone call.
Meanwhile, Bryce walked in the direction of the classroom. Lauren went up to him and asked, “How was it? How could you hit someone?!”
At that moment, Bryce looked a little frustrated. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. They said I went to hit someone after class in the afternoon, but I don’t have any recollection of it.”
He rubbed his head.
“This is too strange. The homeroom teacher has already called someone at home to handle this.”
‘Someone at home? Who could it be?’ Lauren thought to herself. It couldn’t be their father Sean.
“Franklin is coming.”
Lauren nodded. It would be better if Franklin came.
Franklin was the person who doted on them the most. He could definitely clear Bryce’s name.
Bryce returned to the classroom and took out a math paper, burying his head in it.
Lauren turned around to look at Bryce for the entire self-study class. Bryce maintained a serious expression as he worked on the questions.
Lauren was a little worried about Bryce, as it was not how he used to be.
The students around Bryce did not dare to approach him when they saw his reaction.
It was only when class was about to end that the homeroom teacher called Bryce out again.
Lauren followed out again.
The homeroom teacher, Seth Hill, knew about Lauren as the principal had already informed him.
“Lauren, what are you doing here? Don’t you have class later?”
Lauren looked at Bryce, who was standing next to the teacher. He had his head lowered and his hair was a little messy. It was probably because he had scratched his head a few times in frustration.
“Mr. Hill, Bryce is my older brother, so I also want to know what’s going on.”
“Bryce is your older brother?” Seth looked at both of them in disbelief.
Bryce nodded. “Yes, Mr. Hill. Lauren is my younger sister.”
Lauren did not expect Bryce to admit his identity for the first time under such circumstances.
Seth hesitated for a moment. In his eyes, Bryce had always been a well-behaved student. Although Bryce’s results for some subjects are better than others, as a student, he had already done very well and had never caused any trouble. Therefore, when a student came to complain to him about his injuries, Seth was also surprised for quite a while.
He looked at Lauren’s worried gaze and nodded. “Alright. Your eldest brother, Franklin, is already at the office.. Let’s go over together.”
