The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193

It was because of her concern that he showed no displeasure. On the contrary, he smiled and said patiently, "No, I'm here and not at the detention center because I’ve already proved my innocence."

Pearl let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest lightly. She smiled and said, “If I'd known, I wouldn’t have come here. I was worried that you'd be in danger if you couldn't prove your innocence, so I came here to help you out. At the very least, I could ensure you'd still be a student here.”

Darius was moved by her words and curious to know what else she was up to. So, he shrugged and said, "You showed up in the right time. Dean

Fletcher doesn't believe the authorities’ decision, nor does he believe what I told him. He doesn’t want me to continue studying here."

Pearl's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's ridiculous!" She turned to Leon and said, "Dean Fletcher, I'm sure there must be a misunderstanding. Maybe we can solve things if you let us know your concerns.”

Before Darius could say anything, Leon laughed.

"Everyone knows about what's happened to the Chamberlain Group. That puts you firmly on Darius’ side, so it would only make sense for your so- called evidence to favor him."

He leaned back in his chair, looking smug.

This was Pearl's first time seeing him like this. Her mind went blank, and she turned to look at Darius awkwardly.

"What happened? I've spoken to Dean Fletcher before, and he wasn’t like this back then.”

Darius put a hand into his pocket and pulled his phone out. "I recorded it if you want to have a listen."

Despite his words, he played the recording without giving Leon and Pearl time to consider.

Leon's voice rang out, saying, "Someone did tell me not to allow you to stay on at Kingston University, and he paid an awful lot of money.” Darius paused the recording here and turned to look at Pearl.

"I think this is enough for you to understand what's going on.”

Pearl was dumbstruck. She wanted to say something, but they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching the office.

Along with it came a man's angry shouts.

"Isn't Kingston University supposed to be an excellent school? That doesn't seem to be the case! I've already been here twice today to take two people away. Now, I'm here for the third time!"

‘Tell me about it. In fact, the student was framed. Apparently, someone was jealous of him for being so outstanding and decided to slander him."
