Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 230

Chapter 230: 230-Stepbrothers Are Hot Headed

Helanie:

“She doesn’t have an answer,” Rayden showed me a very discreet smirk. My body was instantly covered in goosebumps, and they stayed throughout the time.

“That is because Helanie—” the minute Rayden got too comfortable, even Riri opened her mouth to join him.

“She is sketchy—” Riri smiled at Rayden as if the two were in a court, acting a case.

They were really acting like they were exposing me, and I felt like that too. I felt like they were able to ruin my reputation and paint me as some weird psychopath with bad luck.

However, that’s when Emmet grunted, laughing to himself. Our eyes averted to him, even Norman frowned at his brother.

Emmet began to roll his sleeves up, showing a weird tattoo on his arm. Once he was done taking care of his sleeves, he stretched his neck in a circle and sighed.

“And she—” I bet even Riri thought Emmet was laughing at me because she started adding up more.

But Emmet putting his finger to his lips was the highlight of the day. Or so I thought, until he opened his mouth, “Riri Isaac!”

Her face lit up when he said her name with so much politeness.

“Yes, sir?” she uttered.

Everyone’s eyes were now on Emmet, and he very deliberately added, “You are expelled and banned from our academy.”

Even I was shocked along with the others. The smirk that Rayden had on his face when he thought they had successfully convinced the trainers that I did something to Lucy was now far gone.

Riri had her eyes bugged out, big tears already forming in them. Klaye and Maximus shared one big glance from over the two brothers before they looked back at Riri.

Norman was still leaning back, a pivot on his lips and his eyes zoned out.

“Sir, I am a senior. I have given years to this academy and—” Riri was now using a much more obedient tone, but Emmet shook his head to silence her.

“Get out! Your time here is done.” I had not known that he could be that cold.

“But sir—” Riri’s voice broke, her hands shaking at this point.

“Sir, that is not fair,” Rayden decided to speak up but in a much more scared tone until he saw Emmet glare at him.

“Do you want to leave with her?” Emmet’s threat caused Rayden to visibly gulp.

“No, sir, I am so sorry, sir,” Rayden’s entire attitude changed. He was stuttering too and gulping so many times that one would think his throat kept getting dry.

“Sir, can you please ask Professor Emmet to give me one last chance? I don’t think I did something that big,” Riri now turned to request Norman, who gave her a disapproving look.

“You did actually make a big mess. Throwing accusations when there is video proof that Helanie was on the ground floor just makes you look very guilty of traumatizing her. Not only that, but you had a chance when you were spared for bullying and physically assaulting the juniors outside the academy. But you proved to us that you are not actually meant to be in our academy,” Norman kept his voice calm, but his words held weight.

“We don’t want someone like you in our academy. That even after we called you here and showed you that we were not happy with how you acted with Helanie, you continued to blabber and double down on your actions,” Maximus added while Kaye smirked at Riri, happily watching her cry.

“So, Rayden—what were you saying?” Emmet now turned his attention to Rayden, who stood like an obedient student with his hands tied behind his back and his head down.

“I was saying I realized where we went wrong,” that was not how he sounded a few minutes earlier. Riri kept standing in her spot, slowly sobbing in her palms. I watched Sydney bite the inside of her cheek, her body looking so tense.

I bet she was glad she didn’t open her ugly mouth.

“Really? So what are you going to do now?” Maximus asked Rayden, who looked over to me before looking back down again.

“I will seek forgiveness from Miss Helanie,” his voice was so low. And he was being such a gentleman now.

“Okay, go ahead, what are you waiting for?” Norman hissed, causing Rayden’s body to shudder.

He turned to me, his eyes on the ground still, “Miss Helanie. Please forgive us, we didn’t know there was footage, umm, proof of you being innocent. We were actually in despair after Lucy’s fall.”

He was hushed down by Kaye, who narrowed his eyes at his face.

“We asked for you to apologize, not give her a whole essay,” Kaye yelled, and Rayden nodded in little motions.

As he faced me again, my eyes started to fill with tears. I had been waiting for this asshole to apologize to me, but apology didn’t mean he was forgiven.

Apology was just the first step of the beginning of his downfall. The alpha whose ego was so big only when he wasn’t getting schooled by someone bigger and more powerful than him.

And I could tell it wasn’t easy for him to apologize to me either. He seemed so dead in that moment.

“I am sorry, please forgive me, Miss Helanie,” he spoke every word with much pressure.

“Now, Sydney Coombs,” Norman adjusted his posture in his seat, calling her name.

She had been silently standing there for a while, and when she finally heard her name, she lifted her head, and that’s when I noticed all the brothers stare at her weirdly.

I turned to look at her and noticed that she looked pale. And then—Rayden had to quickly move away when she passed out right before our eyes.

The fact that Rayden could have given her support, but that would be too much for someone like him, just showed right there that he was a cold hearted bastard.

“Oh well, she is not escaping this. Now, Riri, go pack your bags and leave, we will be calling your pack now. As for you and the passed-out member of the bullies group, you will face extra punishment once everyone returns from the holidays. Also, the students who were there are all being observed and listed down; they will receive punishments too. Now—get the fuck out of my office,” Emmet yelled, which caused Rayden to jump to his feet and run out with his tail tucked between his legs.
