Chapter 430

Vincent's eyes turned red as the headmaster scolded him. Shaking his head, he tried desperately to defend himself, "Headmaster, I didn't do it. She's making it up!"

"You made a mistake and you're still not sorry? And now you're trying to blame Claire?"

"Please, you have to believe me. I swear I didn't do anything. Claire's just telling lies!"

"Enough!" The headmaster pointed at Vincent, disappointment written all over her face. "Claire has always been well-behaved and sensible. She's never caused trouble, and she certainly doesn't lie."

Vincent, still just a kid, felt a flood of injustice wash over him. Wrongfully accused and now scolded in front of everyone, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

"Sob... Headmaster, you have to believe me! I'm telling the truth. It's Claire who's lying. I never said she couldn't study. I never said that at all! Sob..."

No matter how much Vincent cried, the headmaster simply refused to believe him.

Seeing him in tears, the headmaster only frowned harder. "You've got some nerve, crying like this. Look at Claire-she's the one who got hurt, and yet she's not making a fuss. And now you want to play the victim?"

Vincent bit his lip, his face full of frustration, tears streaming down his cheeks in big drops.

His look of pure, wounded indignation only made Claire feel more triumphant. So, Vincent, it hurts to be falsely accused, doesn't it?
