Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 79

Briar was determined to help Ellen get justice. Almost the entire class had participated in isolating and bullying Ellen, with the school and teachers turning a blind eye.

Some students with weaker nerves, facing Briar’s strong presence and Ashton’s imposing demeanor, knew they couldn’t hide their bullying of Ellen anymore and had already huddled together, trembling.

Landon was sweating bullets at the door. It was embarrassing to have the whole situation laid bare, especially with so many students and teachers from neighboring classes staring their way. If things continued like this, it would be hard to wrap up gracefully.

Ashton naturally understood Landon’s concerns, but he still stood there, not giving Landon a chance to speak.

Since Ashton wasn’t speaking, Landon didn’t dare to ask Briar to leave either. He could only hope she would take pity and take the girls out of the classroom.

Briar didn’t really want to disrupt the class further. She knocked on the podium again to gather everyone’s attention and said, “You have two options now.

“One, còme with me quietly, and we’ll find a place to have a good chat. Two, since you’ve already called your parents, they’ll probably be here soon. We can just wait here until everyone arrives, and then I’ll have the chat with all of you at once.”

Though she said there were two options, there really was only one choice, to have the chat. Everyone could tell that this chat wouldn’t be pleasant.

However, the idea of having the talk outside was enough to make Liora and her friends stand up and head for the door immediately.

They didn’t hold out much hope, but they still wanted to settle this privately. Otherwise, being watched by their classmates was both

awkward and humiliating.

All classmates were guilty of bullying, yet only a few of them were singled out. It was unfair.

Seeing Landon beckoning her to leave, Ellen didn’t immediately comply. Instead, she looked at Briar. “Briar, are we going out together?”

Briar glanced at Elowen, who obediently headed for the classroom door. Briar then led Ellen to follow. “Let’s go.”
