章節 131: Aresh's intention

"Is that true?!" the director's voice bellowed, his eyes glancing over the kids whose backs are hunched and avoiding eye contact.

One wiped his face and bravely answered, "I-It's because A-Aresh pushed Pol, director! Pol wouldn't jump him if he hadn't pushed him…"

Pol nodded repeatedly, looking at the director pitifully, "I'm going to give back the toy to Knoa anyway, but he still pushed me! He also kept picking a fight with me since yesterday! He was harassing Knoa—

Aresh cut him off, defending himself and clearing the misunderstanding. "I'm not harassing him! I'm just asking him about his father!"

Somehow, his eagerness to explain himself shot up after knowing that one person in that crowd won't just blindly believe anything said by the others. Maybe because the man didn't know Aresh, so, it was easier for him to believe the kid, but that simple gesture greatly impacted Aresh. For once, he was heard.
