Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168 All an Act

“Mommy, they’re the ones who bullied me first. I was trying to leave after the competition, but the older boys wouldn’t let me leave. They even insisted that I serve them.”

Gregory’s tears spilled out and his voice trembled as he spoke. All in all, he looked aggrieved and pitiful.

Many of those who were present already had their doubts about the whole situation, and after hearing what Gregory had to say, they were more inclined to believe him.

After all, the chubby boy and his friends were all a lot older than Gregory, who was alone and such a young kid too. He didn’t look like someone who could beat up anyone else.

The female teacher was one of those who felt this way.

Meanwhile, the chubby boy and his friends were shocked by the sudden turn of events.

“You’re lying! You’re the one who hit us!” the chubby boy refuted as soon as he could wrap his head around it.

The other kids piped up as well.

“That’s right! That little brat hit us.”

“Don’t be fooled by how he looks. He knows how to fight.”

Gregory didn’t offer a rebuttal. He simply stood there and wiped his tears away silently, which only served to make the onlookers’ hearts ache even more for him.

Quinton was protective as well. He immediately declared, “You still refuse to own up to your mistakes and you’re trying to frame another child! Due to your poor behavior, I hereby announce that all of you have been disqualified from the competition!”

He ignored the bunch of parents who had unpleasant looks on their faces and turned to say to Tessa, “Why don’t you take Gregory back first, Madam Tessa?”

Tessa nodded and left with the still-crying Gregory in her arms.

Along the way, her heart was breaking at the sound of his sniffles and sobs.

Even when they got in the car, Gregory was still crying.

Tessa was beside herself. She peppered him with kisses as she consoled him. “Don’t cry, Gregory. The naughty kids will all be punished.”
