Chapter 137 - 137: Apologize for Your Recklessness
Hearing what Connor said, the students in the classroom were stunned.
“If you’ve forgotten, then I’ll help you recall. I’ve said it before, all of you have to be responsible for what you’ve said!” Connor said firmly.
“Connor, we’re classmates. There’s no need to be so ruthless!”
“Yeah, we’re not the ones who framed you. Why are you holding on to us?”
The few boys who stood up for Brandon before shouted at Connor nervously.
“Hah, classmates? Why didn’t you say you were classmates when you humiliated Connor earlier?” Spencer quickly stood up and snorted when he heard what these people said.
“That’s right. Didn’t you say that you wanted Connor expelled just now? Why didn’t you guys think that you were classmates then? Have you forgotten that Connor invited you all to the Brasserie Le Bernardin for a meal?” Dominic also shouted.
“I… We didn’t know that Connor was framed. We all thought Connor was a thief then, so we said that…”
A boy explained nervously.
“You guys don’t even know the truth, yet you dare to humiliate others so casually. Is it because Brandon is rich, and I’m just a delivery boy? There are so many unjust cases in the world. It’s because of people like you that black and white are reversed, and good people become bad people!” Connor said coldly.
“Connor is right. Students like you who insult others casually are no different from Brandon and Harvey. If we hadn’t investigated the matter today, you people might have forced Connor to drop out of school. Therefore, 1 must punish you properly and let the entire Porthampton University understand that you have to be responsible for every word you say before we figure out the truth!” Jesse’s ability to bootlick was quite good. After knowing that Connor wanted to deal with these students, he hurriedly stood up and spoke righteously.
When the students in the classroom heard Jesse’s words, their eyes widened in fear.
They weren’t afraid if Connor wanted to deal with them because many people had mocked Connor just now. Connor couldn’t do anything to them.
However, things would be very different if Jesse wanted to punish them. Jesse was the chancellor of Porthampton University. He could punish them however he wanted. No one dared to go against the chancellor’s wishes.
“Connor, what do you think about giving each of them a major demerit?” Jesse turned his head and asked Connor.
“Everyone will be given a major demerit?”
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. No one had expected Jesse to be so heartless.
Just because they had humiliated Connor, they had to give each of them a big demerit. This punishment was a little heavy.
Rachel looked at Jesse and Connor, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. She really couldn’t understand why Jesse treated Connor so well.
Even if these students had insulted Connor before, it was not to the extent of giving everyone a big demerit, right?
“Connor, 1 don’t think they’re targeting you on purpose. You’re all classmates. It’s better not to make such a big deal!” Rachel hesitated for a moment before softly speaking to Connor.
“That’s right, Connor. We didn’t do it on purpose. Hurry up and plead with Mr. Zachman. Don’t let him punish us!”
“We’re all classmates. We still have to get along in the future. There’s no need to make things so difficult, right?”
At this moment, the students were anxious. They looked at Connor and begged softly.
“Connor, why don’t we forget about this?”
The kind-hearted Eunice walked to Connor and advised him softly.
Connor originally planned to follow Jesse’s suggestion and give each of them a big demerit.
However, after hearing Eunice’s words, Connor’s heart softened. He looked at everyone expressionlessly and said, “You don’t want to get a major demerit, do you?”
“No!”
“Of course not!”
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads and mumbled.
“Alright then. I will give you a chance today because of Eunice and Miss Wallace. 1 can ask Mr. Zachman not to give you a major demerit, but all of you have to apologize to me! Apologize for your recklessness earlier!” Connor said.
When the students in the classroom heard this, they finally understood that Connor was now retaliating against them.
Not only did they have to apologize for what they said today, but they also had to apologize for what they said to Connor before!
The poor loser Connor, who everyone had always ridiculed, finally revealed his fangs. He was showing everyone that he was not easy to bully!
Everyone looked at Connor with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
They had never expected that Connor would not even let go of the students who had not spoken. He had asked everyone who humiliated Connor to stand up and apologize.
“We didn’t frame you just now. Why should we apologize?”
“Yeah, we didn’t do anything wrong. There’s no need to apologize!”
Although the students in the class already knew that Connor was not a thief, they were still unwilling to stand up and apologize to Connor.
Even though they had bullied Connor with Brandon!
“It’s fine if you don’t apologize. Then, I’ll give you all a huge demerit!”
Connor was not in the mood to continue talking nonsense with them. He turned his head and said to Jesse.
“Yes!” Jesse nodded without thinking.
“Connor…”
A girl who had mocked Connor before quickly stood up and said to Connor in a low voice when she realized Connor was going to punish her.
“Yes?” Connor replied indifferently.
“I’ll apologize to you. But can you not record it?” The girl bit her lip and said in a low voice.
Connor looked at the girl without saying anything.
“Connor, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have mocked you just now!” the girl approached Connor and whispered to him.
“This person doesn’t need to be given demerit!” Connor said to Jesse after the girl apologize to him.
“Alright!” Jesse nodded again.
“I also apologize…”
“Connor, I apologize too!”
Although no one was willing to apologize to Connor, they were even more unwilling to be given demerits because of this, so they all stood up and apologized to Connor.
Connor smiled a little as he looked at these people’s expressions playfully. He could not help but feel a little amused.
“Connor, I’m sorry!”
“Connor, I’m sorry. i shouldn’t have slandered you before!”
For a moment, the classroom was filled with mumbles of apologies.
Regardless of whether they had mocked Connor, they all stood up and apologized to Connor..
