Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 68

Briar’s words were delivered in a measured tone, yet each one struck a chord with everyone present. Jewell even

caught a hint of approval in the smile that tugged at the corner of Ashton’s lips.

Marvin, noticing Ashton’s indulgent expression, turned to Briar and said, “Briar, this incident is indeed a result of

our school’s inadequate supervision. You have every right to make any demands.”

As for Jewell, well, with Ashton in the room, he didn’t dare to defend him.

Especially since Ashton had already caught Jewell in the wrong. Jewell feared that pleading for mercy would only

make things worse.

Every tMarvin encountered Ashton, he found himself in a tough spot. Ashton was someone one couldn't

scold or criticize, and even more difficult to deal with than Griffin. Yet, in the end, Marvin always ended up being

dealing with him.

It was quite perplexing. Most importantly, members of the Wade family were fiercely protective of their own,

siding with family over right and

wrong.

So Marvin could only pin his hopes on Briar, hoping she wouldn't be too harsh and would show smercy.

Briar said, “Professor Morphew, remember the questions you targeted atin class today? Let's not even

discuss that they were from senior-year courses, yet you insisted on making things difficult for a freshman like

me.

“Let’s just say that your prejudice and accusations, based solely on a few photos and speople’s instigation,

all stem from the assumption that | entered Shoneport University through special means, right?”

Briar had been smiling at Jewell just a second ago, but by the end of her sentence, her cold and defiant aura left

him with nowhere to hide.

She emphasized the special means with her clear voice, while her eyes and expression remained somewhat

gentle, creating a chilling yet

captivating contrast.

With the facts and evidence right there in front of everyone, Jewell, under the watchful eyes of Ashton, Marvin,

and the others, stammered out an apology to Briar. “I was too quick to judge and was overly prejudiced. Briar,

I'm sorry.”

Jewell knew that the right was not on his side today. If he wanted to keep his position as a specially appointed

professor at Shoneport University, he had to apologize to Briar.

Although it was humiliating for him to apologize to a student, if Shoneport University dismissed him in such a

manner, he would have no place left in Shoneport.

The various powerful families in Shoneport had complex connections and influence. He had spent years

painstakingly establishing a foothold for the Morphew family in Shoneport and couldn’t let one mistake undo all

his efforts.

Briar’s fingers idly tapped on the table, producing a light tap sound. “Professor Morphew, you don’t need to

apologize to me. | won't forgive

you anyway.

“However, since even the teachers have such prejudices against me, to ensure my peace in the future, arrange a

public lecture.”

After she finished speaking, everyone except/Ashton and Brandon was shocked.

Frank’s reaction was the most tic. He jumped up, his finger trembling as he pointed at Briar. “Briar, do you

know what you're saying?

“Shoneport University’s public lecture is broadcast live to the entire school. There will be professional mentors a

performance and grades will directly affect your semester evaluation.”

If she didn’t pass, she wouldn't graduate. In their Traditional Medicine Department, very few people had the

confidence to take on clien a challenge.

Most importantly, so far, no one in the Traditional Medicine Department had successfully passed the public

lecture evaluation with excellere

results.

Briar casually glanced at Frank, her demeanor lazy and indifferent, yet somehow suffocating. “I know.”

It was precisely because she knew the stakes that she wanted to silence those people once and for all. She

didn’t want to waste her ton

such matters.

Frank was stunned for a moment. Knowing the risks and still acting so arrogantly, she was truly confident.

Jewell didn’t expect Briar, whose academic performance was only average, to make such a bold demand. It was

like she was asking for

trouble.

He felt his confidence returning. “Marvin, since Briar has made this request, we must fulfill it, right?”

Marvin looked at Jewell, whose confidence seemed to be rekindled and was quite speechless.

But he had to admit that if Briar wanted to prove her abilities, a public lecture was indeed the most effective way

to do so.

However, it was a risky move with significant potential for failure. Marvin couldn’t make this decision. If

something went wrong during the public lecture, he couldn't be there to help Briar clean up the mess.

So Marvin turned to Ashton, giving him meaningful glances. He was essentially saying, “This is your girl; you

need to back her up.”

Ashton’s expression remained unchanged, and there was even a hint of interest in his eyes. He tilted his head,

looking at Briar, who had a cool expression, and asked with a smile, “Briar, how confident are you?”

Instead of saying it was impossible, he was asking her how sure she was that she could pass the public lecture.

Ashton, of course, had faith in Briar's medical skills. But Shoneport University’s public lecture wasn’t just a test

of individual ability, it also tested one’s mental resilience and ability to handle pressure.

Briar was still only 18 years old. There were other ways for her to prove herself without resorting to such an

extrmethod.

If she was willing, he had plenty of ways to clear her name.

But Briar was 18, at the peak of her youthful passion and ambition. She needed support.

Briar mimicked Ashton, her eyes darkening with determination as she propped her chin up and replied

confidently, “Ten out of ten.”

Ashton raised an eyebrow, looking at Briar’'s beautiful and delicate features, which remained stunning even with

her lazy expression. After a three-second pause, he nodded. “Alright, let's do it your way.”
