No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 59

Since Shawn had run away, the farce was over. Only a few teachers stood awkwardly in front of the Medical Department.

When such a big incident erupted, they had to deal with the patient's family members carefully, but none of them could have known that they were faking it all along...

Some wondered, "If Shawn was at fault, wouldn't we become his accomplices by association?"

"Excuse me, are you Marie Henderson's family?" A teacher braced himself to come up and asked cautiously.

Leo replied lightly, "I'm her brother-in-law. I heard that she was expelled because of this incident, right?"

The teachers started to grumble amid themselves, "Of course, he’s here to cause problems."

"Gordon, it's your department; you fix it," one teacher said.

Everyone turned to look at a man with a pot belly.

The man had to face the music and said, "There's nothing we could do about it. The impact was extremely negative. If we did not punish her, Emerdale University would be forced to close."

"I just want to ask one thing: is there anything wrong with the prescription she gave?" Leo asked indifferently.

Gordon replied with a face full of resignation, "No."

Leo's tone became cold. "Then why was she expelled? You used your student as a scapegoat in order to keep your nose clean? How could you have the face to call yourself a teacher?"

The loud shout scared Gordon and the other teachers so much that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Marie looked at her teachers with immense disappointment.

"I'd like to meet your president," Leo said.

Gordon got fidgeted and said, "The president is in a meeting now. I'm afraid that you can't go in..."

"Get lost!" Nadine cast a cold stare at him and then no one dared to say anything.

In her mind, the people here were all finished. The Department of Education was about to get busy again...

Marie tailed after Leo quietly, lost in thought.

She had only known Leo for two days, but already felt safe around him.

Until now, only her father and sister had offered her that kind of sense of security.

"Clang!"

Leo kicked the door of the president's office open and asked the middle-aged man there, "Are you Darren Guerrero?"

Darren wore glasses and looked rather composed. He frowned slightly and asked, "You are?"

Gordon rushed over, panting, and said, "Mr. Guerrero, I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him..."

Darren gave him a reassuring look and nodded slightly. "I see. Please excuse us for a moment."

Gordon still wanted to say something but left in dejection when he saw Darren's eyes.

"I'm Leo Cohen." Leo then questioned, "Was it you who expelled Marie?"

"Oh, I was wondering what you all came here for. So, it’s because of her." Darren smiled and said calmly, "Did I do anything wrong?"

"She didn't learn well enough and harmed a patient as a result. It made sense to expel her. Otherwise, how could we appease the anger of the patient's family?"

He spoke so righteously as if what he had done was right, which made Leo even angrier. He argued, "As far as I know, her prescription has no problems."

Darren said gravely, "But she did worsen the patient's condition. You can't take back that fact."

Leo's face turned frosty because Darren did not reason with him but just kept fixating on this point.

But it was an undeniable that Marie's patient became worse.

"If you want Marie to return to our university, I suggest you produce solid evidence to prove her innocence. Otherwise, everything you just said was empty talk." Then he asked faintly, "Is there anything else?"

"As long as I uncover the truth, you say?" Leo looked calm again.

"Yes," Darren smiled and said, "And if we did wrong by her, I will personally apologize."

"I'm just worried that you won't sit in that chair long enough to do so." Leo then left his office with Marie.

As soon as he saw the caller ID, the corners of his eyes twitched in fear.

Speak of the Devil and he will appear, it seems...

"Hello, Mr. Reyes. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Shawn answered the phone and soon put on a smiling face.

"No time for crap. Any progress on that Marie business?" A sonorous male voice came from the phone.

Shawn's face hardened again as he didn't know what to say to him.

"Well, Mr. Reyes, something unexpected happened..." Shawn said carefully.

"What?!" Cedric immediately shouted, "Shawn, I asked you for help because I trust you. If you screw this up, I will rip your head off."

"Yes, sure..." Shawn nodded repeatedly.

Cedric asked angrily, "So, what happened?"

Shawn had no choice but to recount to him what happened earlier.

He had tried his best to paint himself as the victim, but he still received a good scolding.

"Shawn, what the hell is wrong with you? Is one million bucks not enough for you? Why did you have to cause such a clamor? You screwed it all up. Happy now?"

Cedric shouted abuse and it looked like that he knew nothing about this medical disturbance earlier.

Shawn did it behind his back due to simple greed.

"Shawn, let me make it clear to you. I've been watching Marie for a long time, but I can’t take her of her that easily. I was hoping that she’d turn to me in desperation. But you! Why did you have to raise new problems for me?"

Shawn held his breath and waited for Cedric's anger to subside.

Cedric said with a scowl, "But fortunately, it's not totally screwed up. Today is the due day, right? Ask her to pay up the one million for the medical expenses. If she can't... she can pay it with her body instead. Tie her up and bring her to me!"

"Yes, Mr. Reyes. I’ll take care of this. I won’t disappoint you again," Shawn replied.

"Just get to it!" Cedric yelled on the other side of the line.
