The Billionaire Takeover

Chapter 10

It was a regular day on campus, all the students were in maths class.

As much as Kraig listened diligently, he was unable to stay focus. 

He couldn't help but notice that Wynn was staring at him. 

Since the incident at the parking lot the previous day, he had been trying his best to ignore her, but he knew that Wynn had many questions, especially about how he had suddenly come into wealth.

The classroom fell silent as the teacher left, and it was then that Wynn seized the opportunity to approach Kraig. She leaned in and softly asked, "Kraig, would you like to go for lunch with me?"

Kraig hesitated, his eyes avoiding Wynn's, and then replied, "I'm heading to the library, Wynn."

Wynn's expression turned somber as she pressed further, "Kraig, I know you've been avoiding me. Can you please tell me what happened to you? You used to be... well, nobody."

Kraig stumbled over his words, unable to provide a satisfactory answer, when suddenly, one of Juan's friends, Peter, swaggered over to them. His arrogance was palpable as he looked down at Kraig.

"You're screwed now, buddy," Peter sneered. "You'll definitely get expelled."

Confused and concerned, Kraig asked, "What are you talking about, Peter?"

Peter leaned in, his tone ominous, and whispered, "I know you can fight, and I know you're friends with some gangsters who come to beat up students. You'd better go find out for yourself. The Dean wants to see you."

Wynn tightened her grip on Kraig's hand, worry etched across her face. She pleaded with him, "Kraig, please be careful."

With a frown directed at Peter, Kraig nodded and made his way out of the classroom. 

Kraig entered the Dean's office, a sense of unease looming in the air. He couldn't help but overhear Juan and his uncle, who were busy slandering him to the Dean even before he had a chance to speak.

Juan's uncle pointed at Kraig and remarked, "Doesn't he look like a gangster with that leather jacket?"

Kraig's eyes shifted to the Dean, who was frowning disapprovingly at him. The Dean wasted no time in addressing Kraig, his tone stern, "I didn't know you had joined the ranks of hoodlums bringing trouble to our campus."

Kraig immediately tried to defend himself, "No, Dean, it wasn't like that. Those weren't touts; they were my personal guards."

The Dean scoffed, clearly unconvinced, and reminded Kraig of his scholarship status. "You're here because you didn't have much, coming from an orphanage. How can someone like you afford personal guards?"

Kraig persisted, "But, Dean, Juan attacked me first. I had to protect myself."

The Dean, however, dismissed Kraig's explanation, insisting that he should have reported the incident rather than bringing outsiders to the school to confront students and security personnel. He shook his head and said, "Nothing you're saying justifies your actions, Kraig."

Juan then chimed in, "This isn't the first time Kraig has brought thugs to attack me, all because I got engaged to Jade, and he's bitter about it."

Kraig, now frustrated and tired of the accusations, retorted, "I couldn't care less about your engagement, Juan."

Despite Kraig's attempt to explain, the Dean was left with a difficult decision to make.

Considering Juan's family wealth, his uncle's influential position in the university, and their significant annual donations, the Dean made a harsh call. 

"Kraig, you are hereby expelled from campus." 

Shocked and desperate to plead his case, Kraig looked directly at the Dean, his voice filled with urgency. "Dean, please, you can't expel me. It's Juan who should be expelled for what he's done."

The Dean's expression remained stern as he responded firmly, "Kraig, I advise you not to cause any more issues. You need to leave the school premises quietly."

Kraig felt a sinking sensation in his chest, realizing that his pleas were falling on deaf ears. 

It seemed that the Dean had made up his mind, and despite the injustice he felt, just because Juan's uncle make huge donations. 

Kraig maintained his composure.

The previous day, he had informed his butler about the unfolding situation and had anticipated this very moment. 

As he waited in the Dean's office, his phone buzzed with a text message from his butler, 

'Im currently with the headmaster, Did anything happen yet?'

Kraig quickly trained swiftly and responded, 'Hurry I'm about to get expelled. Dean's office.'

A response soon appeared on his screen, "Got it!"

Kraig bided his time, and to everyone's astonishment, the headmaster stormed into the room, his face flushed with anger.

 "What is this nonsense you are about to do dean?" The headmaster said in fury.

"I'm so sorry Kraig, please do not take what happened to heart." 

Juan stood up in anger as he tapped his uncle to ask what was happening.

"What's going on here? He deserves to be expeled from what he did to Juan." David said.

The headmaster turned to David and said, "You will have to make Juan apologize or he will get expelled."
