Chapter 65
Frank successfully shifted everyone’s attention. It was only then that people noticed Marvin and two tall men had appeared at the door at some point.
As soon as Ashton entered the lab building and saw Briar’s gloomy expression, his face turned cold. Marvin, fearing that Ashton would spear up and frighten the other students, quickly took the lead. “Professor Morphew, what’s going on here?”
Marvin desperately gave Jewell meaningful glances, signaling him to explain.
Jewell, in the midst of his anger, didn’t recognize Ashton. Moreover, in his view, Briar was just an unpopular daughter of the Jennings family Given Marvin’s easygoing nature, he wouldn’t take any action against him.
Besides, the issue of Briar’s improper conduct had been witnessed by students. Even if Marvin were here, Jewell believed he was in the right
Therefore, when Marvin kept winking at Jewell, Jewell didn’t catch on. Instead, he indignantly said to Marvin, “Marvin, you’ve arrived just in time. When did our school’s standards become so low that students with poor moral character can just walk in?”
Marvin immediately knew things were going south. He felt like he could vanish on the spot.
‘What is Jewell thinking? Does he realize who he’s criticizing in front of? I’ve been giving him obvious hints. Is he blind or something? Marvin thought to himself.
After Ashton’s arrival, he completely ignored Jewell, who was standing arrogantly at the podium. His gaze was firmly fixed on Briar.
Briar probably felt extremely wronged. The defiance and confidence in her beautiful eyes were replaced entirely by coldness.
She looked like a little animal that had been bullied and was ready to fight back.
Ashton walked up to Briar and blocked her line of sight toward Jewell. “Briar, don’t be afraid. I’m here,” he said.
Briar’s aura was freezing. With Ashton in her way, she had to stop. Her legs were half–stretched, in a completely defensive and offensive stance. “I’m not afraid, Ashton. I can handle this myself,” she said.
Ashton raised his hand and placed it gently on top of Briar’s head. Her hair was of excellent quality, soft and voluminous, and it felt very pleasant to the touch. “I know you can, but since this is my fault, can you give me a chance to make it right? Hmm?” he asked.
Briar reluctantly looked up and met Ashton’s gaze.
There was no blame or dissatisfaction in his eyes. His eyes were soft, with a hint of soothing intent, combined with his noble and handsome
face. Briar was completely charmed and couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
After a while, she finally nodded reluctantly, took a step back, and freed her head from Ashton’s palm. “Fine, you go ahead,” she said.
Ashton’s lips curled down slightly at the corners, indicating that he would deal with it first, but she could still pursue the matter later.
However, he didn’t seem displeased at all. He turned to Frank, who quickly and tactfully walked over to Briar, shielding her as they moved
toward the door. He whispered to her in a coaxing tone, “Briar, let’s go outside and wait, okay?”
His tone was like that of someone soothing a kindergartener.
Since it was still class time, causing a scene in the classroom would be inappropriate and would disrupt everyo.

After Frank coaxed Briar out, Brandon also escorted Jewell outside. Jewell’s feelings were not a consideration for Brandon at all.

Chapter 65
Marvin, noticing the curious and excited eyes of the students, coughed lightly. “Professor Morphew and we have some tatters to harma temporarily. The rest of your can study on your own and don’t run around,” has cafe,
Marvin had a high level of authority at Shomeport University, and as soon as he spoke, even the most mischievous studente pan sear curiosity and sat quietly to read,
However, not many were actually focused on their books.
Once everyone had moved far enough away and couldn’t be overheard, the whispers resumed
The research group was particularly astonished.
Mason nudged Ted beside him and whispered, “Hey, did you see that? The way Ashton spoke to Briar
Ted nodded. “Yeah, it was like he was comforting his sister, even better than how he treats Frank.”
Mia, who had quietly watched Briar being targeted by Marvin, felt a sense of satisfaction.
She thought to herself, ‘She deserves this. So what if Ashton helped her out yesterday? Today, she’s on the bad side of Professor Morphew.
‘She’s definitely not getting any credits now. Even if Frank wants to protect her, can he really go against the professor? Or will shen come to Briar’s rescue again today?‘
But to her surprise, Ashton did show up.
Judging by his attitude, it seemed he was going to protect Briar without asking any questions, just like yesterday.
‘What on earth does Briar have that makes the men of the Wade family so protective of her?‘ Mia wondered.
