The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 10 The Man Who Turned the Tide

Seeing Arabella's aggressive stance, Mia got so scared she ducked behind Allison.

"Who's slandering her? Ava's just a bully. She picks on classmates all the time. If you don't believe me, ask around. And she's supposed to be a model student? No way!" Mia said, then quickly hid behind Allison again, making Allison chuckle. Mia was kind of adorable.

"Mia, this isn't your fight. Go back to class!" Allison said, but Mia shook her head fiercely.

"Allison, don't be scared. I'm not leaving. I want to clear your name!" Mia declared, her voice full of determination.

Allison was taken aback. She didn't expect this usually timid girl to stand up for her instead of running away. It was the first time someone had treated her like this.

"Mr. Callahan, they're teaming up to slander my daughter! If these two aren't expelled, I won't let this go!" Arabella demanded.

Whether it meant calling the cops or going to court, Arabella was confident she could handle it.

Magnus was in a tough spot. The Bennett Family didn't have the clout of the Davis Family, but this Mia...

"Mrs. Davis, we need to get the facts straight. We should check the classroom surveillance to see who's really at fault, right?" Magnus said, making it clear that any expulsion needed solid proof.

But Arabella didn't care. Since Ava was on the losing end, she wanted to make sure these two girls paid.

"Mrs. Davis, Mia just said Ava started it. How can you expel Allison without knowing the full story?" Nola chimed in. She liked Allison, and she knew Ava had bullied other students before.

"Is it that I can't tell right from wrong, or are you just biased? I don't care what perks you got from their parents. If they're not expelled today, I'll make sure everyone knows and take it to court. Let's see who ends up in trouble then!" Arabella shout back.
