Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243: The President of East Coast University

Marie looked up at Chris Shelby and asked, "Mr. Shelby, do you really believe I didn't steal anything?"

Chris Shelby nodded. "Of course, in my eyes, you are a kind girl. You would never do such a thing."

Hearing this, Marie felt deeply moved. Chris Shelby's unconditional belief in her stirred her emotions. Since the incident, everyone had accused her of being a thief. She felt utterly helpless and as if the whole world was against her.

Blushing, Marie said, "Mr. Shelby, thank you for believing in me! You are the first person to trust me. No matter how much I explained before, no one would listen; they were convinced I was the thief!"

Chris Shelby responded seriously, "Marie, remember this: never admit to something you haven't done! If you admit it, you'll never be able to clear your name in the future."

There are things that once you bow down to them once, you'll have to bow down forever.

Chris Shelby recalled when he first joined the army and was captured by the enemy. They tortured him to make him betray his comrades, but he gritted his teeth and refused. This determination eventually led him to become Amerosia Primus.

"Sigh," Marie sighed bitterly. "Mr. Shelby, I'm afraid I can't stay at East Coast University any longer."

Chris Shelby frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"They reported my alleged theft to the school, and now the school is preparing to expel me." At this point, Marie burst into tears. She had worked so hard to get into East Coast University, only to be expelled with the stigma of being a thief. How could she face her parents if she were expelled?

Marie remembered how joyful her parents were when she got accepted into college. The entire Jefferson Village admired their family. If she were expelled and returned home in disgrace, how would the villagers view her? How could her parents bear it?

"They're too much! Not only did they falsely accuse you of theft, but they also want to expel you. It's outrageous!" Chris Shelby was thoroughly enraged. He couldn't tolerate seeing a kind girl being wronged like this. As the king of East Coast, he felt responsible for protecting everyone's dignity on his turf and ensuring fairness.

Marie looked at Chris Shelby pleadingly. "Mr. Shelby, please don't tell my brother about this. If he finds out, he'll go crazy and cause trouble at school, leading to irreversible consequences."

Marie knew her brother Harold Jefferson's temperament well. If he found out she was wrongfully accused and expelled, he wouldn't let it go and would definitely cause a scene at the school. They were just ordinary rural folks; how could they fight against East Coast University?

"Don't worry; I won't tell your brother," Chris Shelby assured her after taking a deep breath. "But I won't let this matter slide either; I'll make sure you get justice!"

From his previous conversations with Harold Jefferson, Chris Shelby knew that Marie was the only college student from Jefferson Village. Her parents had sacrificed everything for her education. If she were expelled and labeled a thief, it would devastate them.
