"He quit school," Travis explained in a groveling manner.
"Huh? Why?" Victor frowned, a little surprised.
"Um… He did something bad, and a lot of things led to that outcome. Hayden left the school in the end, and I have no choice but to proceed with the procedures." Travis explained once more.
However, his forehead was covered in sweat. This was the plan that he had come up with Francis—they wanted to ruin Hayden.
"Something bad? What did he do?" Victor's brows knitted tightly. He found it hard to believe.
Hayden was just a high school student, so what bad things could he have done? Moreover, he got two perfect scores, so he had to be the cream of the crop with a bright future ahead. Why would he quit school, just like that?
"Hayden did so much bad stuff. He peeped at young ladies while they were taking a shower and stole their underpants.
"But that's not all—he also stole expensive jewelry, insulted fellow students, and violently beat them up." Travis listed out Hayden's supposed misdeeds one by one as if he were talking about some glorious history.
"What?" Victor was stunned instantly. It was far too preposterous. According to Travis' description, Hayden was such a despicable person. Could someone like the latter really get two perfect scores?
"I still would like to meet with him in person. Give me his contact number, and I'll talk to him face to face," Victor instructed solemnly.
"Are you going to meet him by yourself?" Travis was shocked. He couldn't resist taking a sharp breath, and he looked utterly awful when he smiled awkwardly.
"I heard that he was shunned from the family. Is it true?" Victor took a seat on the couch and asked matter-of-factly.
"Um… Yeah. He's gone." Charlotte looked awkward as she sighed helplessly. There was also some semblance of panic in her eyes as she repeatedly swept them across the other Sterlings.
Francis wasn't home, and Anna and Lily were the only people at home, along with Morgan, who purposely rushed home for this.
"We rejoice in his departure, mister. You have no idea the kinds of misdeeds the jerk has done. He made me feel sick. If you had stayed in the same place as him, you would definitely have hated him as well!" Lily immediately stepped forward and badmouthed Hayden.
"Where is he now, then?" Victor swept his eyes across the Sterlings and asked, completely unfazed.
