Chapter 117 The Confrontation
“Hurry up! These Westbrook hacks are completely twisting the facts and trying to kick me out!
“Your little brother is getting totally bullied here!
“You gotta back me up and crush them!”
He delivered his lines with absolute, unshakeable confidence.
Ethan rubbed the bridge of his nose, fighting back the intense urge to strike him.
“Shut the hell up!”
He barked out a cold warning before turning a sharp gaze toward the principal and Isaac.
He knew his brother’s volatile temper inside out; if Noah was in the wrong, or if he had just thrashed someone on a random whim, he would never carry himself with this much absolute arrogance.
This meant the boy was completely convinced he was in the right.
Not only did Noah believe his hands were clean, but he was also entirely certain that Ethan would back his play.
What the hell actually happened?
Ethan’s brow furrowed slightly as his eyes methodically scanned Isaac and Hannah.
He recognized them instantly as members of the Powell family.

“How are we supposed to run an academy under those conditions?”
Turning back to Ethan, the principal added with heavy emphasis, “So, Ethan, how do you plan to settle this disaster?”
Principal Hayes delivered his speech with total confidence, fully expecting Ethan to lift Noah by his collar for a brutal lecture before offering a formal, elite apology, just like every single incident in the past.
Instead, Ethan merely kept his brow knitted, staring directly back at him as he countered, “I think it’s best if you walk me through the absolute rundown from the very beginning so I can analyze the metrics before we discuss any penalties.”
Hearing his counter, Principal Hayes frowned in deep disapproval, “Ethan, it doesn’t matter what the underlying context is; the hard fact remains that Noah laid his hands on a classmate! You…”
