Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266
Timothy’s face instantly became glum after hearing that, but he was different from Bruce; he had always been polite to others and almost never said anything menacing or sarcastic.
Now that he was hearing all this, he didn’t know how to react all of a sudden while the sniggering around him became louder.
“Bruce, the bookworm from your class is nothing. Can he even speak?”
“That’s right, how can you expect a dog to say anything? It would be terrifying if he really did.”
One of them roared out in laughter and said, “What a joke! Someone like him have the guts to throw his weight around in front of you? It can’t be true that the two masters from the Sawyer Family are helping him.”
Holding his fists tightly, Timothy hissed, “Don’t go overboard. You guys are the ones standing in my way.”
“Oh, he really spoke! Master Liston, he’s speaking about you. What should we do now?” another of his sidekicks asked with a sneer.
“He’s just a cripple who looks cute enough to charm others. The masters from the Sawyer Family took a liking to him simply because… But his sister has good looks, too. Maybe this is what these siblings have relied on to get into their good books. Forget it, I’m not saying anymore. You guys know what I mean,” Bruce said, thoughtfully giving Timothy a once-over.
Laughter echoed from around Timothy and showered him with it as he understood what Bruce meant behind his words as well.
Everything he had now was acquired through his own efforts and it was fine if he was insulted, but not his sister. Lunging forward, he then landed a punch on Bruce’s face.
Immediately, blood trickled from the corners of his lips.
“What are you boys doing?” At this moment, the principal, Julius, suddenly came out and looked at Timothy sternly. “All of you, to my office!”
After casting a glare at Timothy, Bruce followed behind Julius as a gleeful smirk appeared on his face. You’re done for, Reinhart.
In Julius’ office, Bruce started first by saying, “Mr. Chance, look what happened. I don’t know what has gotten over him, but he punched me straight in the face. Look at my face now that he has hit me. How am I supposed to go out looking like this?
Furthermore, I have witnesses. So many people around had seen his actions.”
Julius turned to Timothy. “What else can you say? You even dare to start a fight at the university gates, which is something that had never happened here before! Can you take the responsibility if something like this affects the university?”
“Mr. Chance, it’s true that I won’t be able to shoulder this responsibility, but I wasn’t the one who started it. Bruce was the one who insulted me first,” Timothy said with a solemn face.
“He insulted you? What did he say?” Julius asked.
At the thought of those insulting sneers, Timothy helplessly pursed his lips. It didn’t matter what happened to him, but his sister’s reputation had to be protected.
“You can’t answer him, can you? Mr. Chance, he was the one standing in my way and I said something to get him out of the way, but I didn’t know why he turned violent and came straight at me with a punch. If my father knows about this, he’ll think that the university is mismanaged.”
Then, he cast a delighted look at Timothy.
Hearing that, Julius’ face instantly became stoic; the Liston Family had some shares in the university, and his higher-ups had also told him to find a reason to evict Timothy, no matter what. So, now was a good time to do it.
“The university won’t tolerate a student who starts a fight. Timothy Reinhart, you’ll go through the withdrawal procedures now. I’ll inform your sister for you.”
After Tessa received the call, she immediately took the day off from the orchestra and rushed to Timothy’s university.
The second she went into Julius’ office, she hurriedly turned to her own brother. “Tim, are you alright?”
Timothy nodded his head. “I’m fine, Tess.”
“Of course he’s alright, Miss Reinhart. Why don’t you take a look at me and ask me if I’m alright? The one who got punched is me, and all you care about is your brother the minute you came here? Hmph, both of you sure are birds of a feather and exactly the same,” Bruce sneered in annoyance.
“I dare you to say one more thing!” Taking a step forward, Timothy looked like he was going to hit him again.
