Chapter 38

Tim's P.O.V:

Damian made his way to meet up with Marinette and once he reached her, he intertwined his fingers with hers and kissed the back of her hand. "Hello, Angel." He smirks.

All of Damian's class, including his own teacher gasped in shock. They probably had never seen him act like that.

Rose started to tear up after a moment. "I don't understand. Are you Damian Wayne? You don't even have blue eyes."

"Yes, this is my son Damian. Why did you think he would have blue eyes?" Bruce raised an eyebrow at the upset teen.

"You lied to us Lila?" The small blonde looked sadly at the sausage haired girl.

"N-no. I would never do that. Marinette just stole him away from me." Lila let out her crocodile tears.

"Marinette!" Alya started to storm up to the stage. "How could you do this to her? You knew she loved him."

Jason stomped his way over to the angry teen to stop her from coming any closer to his little sister. "You better watch yourself." He almost looked as scary as Batman himself and Alya was at least smart enough to stop what she was doing.

"Okay Miss Rossi, I already warned you once and it looks like you didn't take me seriously, now did you?" Bruce pulled out his phone to make a call.

"What are you doing?" She immediately stopped her crying to look at the billionaire.

"Father is calling our attorneys." Damian gave the Italian girl a smug look.

"What?" Alya backed away from Jason to look over at Damian then me then Dick then back to Damian. "Why is he doing that? Lila did nothing wrong."

All of Marinette's friends and her plus my family and I started to laugh hysterically besides Bruce, who kept a stone-cold face while on the phone.

"You couldn't be further from the truth. She is a bully and a pathological liar." I tried to calm my laughter down.

"No, I'm not! Right guys?" She looked around to all of her friends.

Nobody seemed to back her up and all they could do is stare between her and my billion-dollar family.

"No, Marinette is the only bully here." Alya seemed to get more and more mad.

"Really?" I stared at the girl. "Because I have evidence that both you and Lila verbally bullied Marinette and you stood around and did nothing while Lila intentionally bumped into Marinette in a malicious way. That is considered physical assault. You even laughed at the whole thing." I stated in a cold tone.

The room went eerily quiet after I said that and I could see Lila start to shake where she stood.

"Would any of you like to see this evidence?" I looked to the crowd. "Just put your hands up if you do."

It was surprising that almost everyone in the room raised their hands. The only ones who didn't were Bruce, Marinette, Alya, Lila and I. Both the teachers even seemed to be invested at this point.

"Looks like it's practically unanimous." I pulled out a small remote out of my pocket and pressed a button.

A large white projector screen started to roll down from the ceiling and after it was all the way down, I clicked another button and the screen lit up with what appeared to be surveillance footage of the class at Wayne Tower. Once it started to play, they could hear what the class was saying through the speakers around the auditorium. Someone also subtitled the conversation over the footage in English because they were all speaking in French.

"Maribitch is such an attention whore." Alya says.

"And it's such a shame too." Lila agrees. "If she just wasn't so jealous of me then maybe she wouldn't be so awful. But maybe I'm being too optimistic."

"Yeah, Lila." Alya speaks again. "You're too nice for your own good sometimes. She's not worth it."

The majority of the class nods in agreement except for a few off to the side that look angry at what they are saying.

I decided to pause it there. "That is the first incident. As you can see, the majority of the class did nothing to stop this even though they all heard. Now on to the second incident of her lying. Let me give you some context. My father here had already warned her about spreading rumors about our family, which we also caught on video and this was her covering up her mistakes a few moments later after he was gone."

I press play again and now the surveillance has changed to a different area of Wayne Tower. Lila was walking with her group of friends while on the tour.

"Yeah, Bruce is such a jokester." Lila said in an overly cheerful voice. "Of course, he actually knows me. He just has to keep it professional while at work."

"Oh, that makes sense Lila." Alya replied. "So, you think I can still get that interview with him?"

"Not sure. I still have to ask him. I'm going on a date with my Damiboo tonight. I'll ask him afterwards." She batted her eyes at her friends.

I pause it again. "Isn't it ironic that Damian and Marinette are a few feet behind them and heard the whole thing? I have to give my brother some props for that one. I would have called her out right then and there."

"She wasn't worth it." Damian spoke up. "The lies were so ridiculous that I knew they would catch up to her.

"And it looks like you were right, little D." Dick smiled at our youngest brother.

"Okay, looks like it's time for the next one." I click another button to show the class at the Wayne botanical gardens. "And this one is probably the worst. Just know that we aren't even showing you all the footage we have either. Only our lawyers got to see all the evidence."

The footage showed Marinette in deep concentration as she sketched something by the koi pond. You can see Lila at the bottom of the screen elbowing Alya to get her attention and she points to the bluenette.

"Watch this." She says, snickering.

Lila then walks quietly behind the girl and looks back at Alya before nodding. It's clear that she 'accidently' falls into her and Marinette drops her book and pen into the water.

"Oops." Lila laughed as the girl quickly grabbed her soaking book from the water before it sunk to the bottom. "Didn't see you there."

Marinette looked at her ruined book with tears in her eyes, then looks back to Lila. "Why did you do that?"

"You are just so unnoticeable that I bumped right into you." She laughs with Alya standing next to her. "I wouldn't worry about it though." Lila flipped her hair over her shoulder. "There was nothing but trash in that book anyways."

Marinette looked like she wanted to scream at her but Madame Mendeleiev storms up to the girls just in time. "What is going on over here?"

"Nothing, Madame Mendeleiev. We were just talking." The teacher didn't look like she bought it.

"No." Marinette shook her head in anger. "She purposefully bumped into me so I would drop my book in the water." She held up her wet book.

"Lila did not." Alya defended her. "I was right here. It was a complete accident."

"Yeah." Lila agreed. "I am sorry about that." She spoke in a sickeningly sweet voice.

The teacher looked at the three girls and sighed. "I better not catch any of you doing something like this again or I will not hesitate to call all of your parents." She pinched the bridge of her nose. "And Lila, please watch where you are going. We don't need any more accidents."

The video stopped there and Madame Mendeleiev seemed to be furious. She was just about to speak up but then two men in suits walked into the auditorium.

"Mr. Wayne, we got here as fast as we could." One of them spoke up.

"Thank you. I'm guessing you got my files I emailed to you?" Bruce asked.

Lila looked like she was ready to run at any chance she could get.

"Yes, we did sir. The judge already approved it." The man pulled some papers out of his suitcase and walked over to Lila. "Are you Lila Rossi?" He asked in French.

"Uh..." She looked around the room and the only comforting face she could find was Alya, who seemed like she was just as scared as she was. "Yes?"

"Good. This here is a restraining order against you from a Miss Dupain-Cheng for physical and psychological abuse. The judge found you more than guilty seeing as you were seen on camera doing all of the things you were accused of. Because you are a minor, we had already contacted your legal guardian and she has agreed on paying for your flight back to Paris. Let's just say that she is not too happy with you." The man handed over the legal documents. "Know that we are also setting up a restraining order against you for when the two of you are in Paris again. I must also inform you that you are being sued for defamation and slander by the Wayne family. Mr. Wayne has been generous enough to fly out to Paris for the court hearing that has been set for the summer. Be mindful that you will be 18 at that time." The man smiled at the teenager. "I hope you can afford a good lawyer, Miss Rossi."

"What? You can't do this to me!" Lila screamed at the top of her lungs in sheer panic. "My mom, she's..."

"I'm afraid we can." The other lawyer spoke up. "Your mother would also like for you to call her before child services take you back to get your things and go back to the airport."

The other lawyer walked away and stood in front of Alya. "Are you Alya Cesaire?"

"Y-yes." The teen started to look very panicked.

"Just know that we could have filed a restraining order against you too but Miss Dupain-Cheng didn't want to. I would consider yourself lucky. For some unknown reason, she still seems to like you." He turned away from her to walk up to Bruce.
