Keeping calm, Austin Shepherd asked in a good-natured tone.
The person paused for a bit, glanced at someone in the front, then loudly said, "The one I'm with performs poorly, our personalities clash, I don't want to be held back by him!"
As soon as these words were pronounced, the figure standing in front shook slightly.
All of this was naturally seen by Austin Shepherd and Nathan Foster.
Nathan Foster's face changed and he was about to get angry, but he was stopped by Austin Shepherd's gaze.
Lifting his gaze, Austin Shepherd seriously looked at the person and slowly said, "That's not a valid reason. I won't accept it."
"But this will affect my grades!"
The person retorted discontentedly.
Nathan Foster's anger intensified.
"If you don't want to, fine," Austin Shepherd nodded slightly, his usually gentle eyes filled with seriousness, "I won't force you, you can leave tomorrow."
There was no anger, no arguing.
Austin Shepherd directly gave him an ultimatum.
