My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Thinking this, Jasper shot Miles a glare, then slammed his hand on the table, scolding, "Miles, do you realize your mistake?"

Miles bit his lip hard, his tone filled with stubbornness. "I didn't do anything wrong!"

'There's nothing wrong with me fighting back when others attack me for no reason. Am I just supposed to stand here and take the beating? That doesn't make sense,' Miles thought.

Looking at Miles, who was covered in bruises but still refused to admit his mistake, Jasper's anger only flared up even more.

"Stubborn as a mule, I really think you're hopeless." He angrily pointed at Miles's nose and scolded, "Not only are your grades terrible, but now you can't even behave properly."

Miles gritted his teeth, deciding not to argue back.

Jasper grew more agitated and eventually threatened, "Listen up, if you don't apologize to these three students and get their forgiveness, convincing them not to pursue this further, there will be no place for you in this school."

There was no other way. He couldn't afford to offend the other three families. The only way to calm them down was to sacrifice Miles. Only by doing this could he keep his job.noveldrama

"You're expelling me?" Miles asked in disbelief, clenching his fists like a lone, cornered animal, and argued, "They provoked me first, and I was just defending myself. Why should I apologize? I won't accept it!"

'Even if I have to, they should apologize to me as well. Why am I the only one being held responsible? This isn't fair,' Miles thought.

"Why?" Nathan, whose eyes had been swollen from the beating, sneered arrogantly and said nonchalantly, "Because I'm the son of a school board member. In this school, if I want, anyone can be expelled."

Hearing this, Miles slumped his shoulders in frustration. He gritted his teeth and muttered in confusion, "I've never done anything to offend you. Why are you targeting me?"

Suppressing his jealousy, Nathan lowered his voice and leaned in close to his ear, saying," Blame yourself for not knowing your place. You shouldn't have taken the girl I like!"

Hearing this, Miles looked even more puzzled. 'Recently, I've been focused entirely on my studies. When did I ever try to take the girl he likes?' he wondered.

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Miles replied.

Seeing Miles's innocent expression, Nathan's face grew darker.

Nathan ran his fingers through his blonde hair, then coldly said, "Miles, be a man

and own up to your actions. Don't pretend you know nothing!"

Miles was speechless. 'Pretending what?' he wondered.

Seeing him look like an innocent little lamb, Nathan felt even more disgusted. He patted Miles's cheek and said expectantly, "If you don't

want to be expelled, give me mylin

goddess's contact information and promise never to flirt with her again."

Miles frowned, looking confused. 'I don't even know who Nathan's "goddess" is, so how could I possibly have her contact information?' he wondered.

Seeing that Miles kept playing dumb, Nathan's patience was quickly running out.

Nathan snorted coldly and blatantly threatened, "I've warned you. But if you don't do as I say, I can have you expelled for theft and fighting.

"And I can guarantee no school will take you after that. With exams coming up, you wouldn't want to ruin your future, right?"

Miles glared at him angrily. 'The so-called theft is just their deliberate framing, and the fight was started by them as well. It's not my fault, yet now I'm being threatened,' he thought.

Facing such a scoundrel left Miles

feeling completely helpless. He didn't want to just give in, so he shot

back, "If you like her, then go after her openly. Don't play these Cheap tricks with me!"

Nathan didn't expect Miles to speak to him like that. For a moment, he was stunned.

Miles continued, "Or maybe you don't even have the courage to pursue her? If I were that girl, I'd never like someone like you."

Nathan was instantly enraged. He grabbed Miles by the collar and snarled, "You piece of trash, how dare you look down on me?"

The others in the office witnessed the scene but made no move to intervene.

Miles grabbed Nathan's hand and coldly said, "Let go!"

Nathan only tightened his grip, growling, "Who do you think you are? Your dad's just an Uber driver, and your mom's a sickly wreck. You're

going to mess with me? A10

afraid I'll do something to them?"

Bang! Miles didn't give Nathan a chance to finish his threat and threw a punch

straight to his face.

"Ah!" Nathan screamed in pain as the blow landed.

The others in the office were startled and rushed over immediately.

Miles shook off Jasper, who was trying to hold him back, his eyes filled with uncontainable rage. He would never allow anyone to insult his family.

At Nathan's startled cry, Miles raised his fist again. Just as his punch was about to land on Nathan's face, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed Miles's arm.
