The decision rested solely on her. “No!” Scarlet was the first to speak out, visibly agitated. “Didn’t you all see? This has nothing to do with Fanny. Stella took it upon herself to ask Fanny. Fanny had no idea!”

Her words fell on deaf ears.

Jonathan continued to gaze at Angela, awaiting her opinion.

After contemplating for a moment, Angela raised her head and said, “Jonathan, please wait. I have another question. Stella, I need to ask you something. Did you untie the rope that was holding the banner?”

She had intended to review the surveillance footage of the banner’s rope, but it happened to be in a blind spot and was not captured.

At that moment, Stella was not the only one present.

Fanny was there as well.

Stella, her face swollen, suppressed the urge to curse at Angela and resentfully replied, “What rope?”

“The banner fell because someone untied the rope, and it almost hit Jess.” Angela remained composed.

Stella, irritated by Angela’s demeanor, retorted, “How could I possibly untie the rope? Angela, that banner. could have killed someone! I may dislike Jessica, but I’m not that cruel.”

Angela nodded, ceasing her questioning, and returned to Jonathan’s side, stating, “Jonathan, I have finished asking. There is no need to involve Fanny.”

Scarlet breathed a sigh of relief. Angela still had a conscience. If she had dared to implicate Fanny in this, Scarlet would have slapped her for sure.

Thomas now understood the situation. Although he didn’t know who Jonathan was, he cursed Stella in his heart. How could a student commit such a malicious act as drugging someone, causing so much trouble for the school?

Seeing that Jonathan had yet to speak, he finally weakly spoke up, “Mr. Lawson, I am Thomas from the school. I sincerely apologize for what happened today. We will definitely punish Stella to your satisfaction.”

Jonathan still kept his eyes down, not responding or looking at him, but this silence made Thomas feel an overwhelming sense of crisis. The pressure climbed up his spine, weighing heavily on his back.

He wanted to speak again, but Sebastian sternly interjected, “Sir, how to resolve this matter should be the victim. Don’t you think?”

up

to

A warm feeling washed over Angela’s heart. So, Jonathan was planning to let her decide. He truly wanted to give her complete control over this matter.

Sebastian was also standing up for her. How touching-

“This…” Thomas didn’t believe a young girl could handle this matter properly, but he opened his mouth, glanced at the silent David, and awkwardly chuckled. “You’re right, Angela. How do you propose we resolve

this?”

Angela gained confidence, her eyes shining brighter than before. She shifted her gaze and said, “Sir, I don’t believe you can handle this matter appropriately.”

Thomas felt all eyes on him and found himself speechless. He truly wanted to slap himself. Why did he agree to let Stella go just now? This kind of handling was not befitting of his position as vice principal, and it was unfair to his students. It was no wonder Angela couldn’t trust him.

Angela continued, “Let’s not involve the police. After all, it’s an internal matter within the school.”

As soon as her words left her lips, she could clearly sense Thomas and David both exhaling a sigh of relief, while Stella appeared unsurprised.

They were relieved too soon.

Angela smirked and said, “Simply expel her. She’s only a freshman; she can go back and retake the entrance exam and learn moral education again. Stella, start anew.”

“What?!” Stella exclaimed. “You want me to drop out? Angela, how dare you!”

“Not drop out, but expulsion. Angela kindly clarified.

“Angela, you’re just as ruthless and self–centered as your family claimed. You…”

Stella was fuming, cursing without restraint. David was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately covered his daughter’s mouth, saying. “Mr. Lawson, my daughter doesn’t know any better. I will go to the school to discuss the expulsion today.”

Jonathan finally raised his heavy gaze and asked, “How many disrespectful words did she use just now?”

“Two.” David struggled to remember Stella’s disrespectful words from earlier and then tentatively suggested, “Mr. Lawson, should we consider withdrawing from bidding for the two plots of land in the city center this time?”

“Okay.”

Jonathan’s face showed no joy, but David was almost in tears.

Finally, a trace of fear flashed across Stella’s face.

Although she didn’t usually pay attention to David’s business, she could gather some information from his conversations and phone calls when he came home. These two pieces of land were crucial to the Lawson Family. David had been occupied with this matter for almost two months, and she didn’t know how many subordinates he had scolded over the phone.

The next moment, David turned his head to look at Stella, anger flickering in his eyes, but he held it back for now. After quickly bidding farewell to Jonathan, he hurriedly left the scene with Stella.

Thomas looked miserable. How did he get involved with such a person? However, when he glanced at Scarlet and Samuel, he couldn’t help but grumble internally.

The way Jonathan referred to Angela didn’t sound like they were siblings. Jonathan was so protective of Angela, even more so than her own family. If it weren’t for their indifferent and even complicit attitudes. carlier, he wouldn’t have given up intervening when Angela was being beaten.

Scarlet appeared somewhat embarrassed. She hadn’t expected that this incident was indeed not Angela’s fault. But she couldn’t bring herself to apologize, and the thought of Angela trying to involve Fanny earlier filled her with disgust.

Samuel’s expression was even more complicated,

Why was Jonathan so protective of Angela?

With his protection, would Angela really need to return to the Kins Family in the future?

He wasn’t sure anymore.

Finally, Scarlet spoke first, in a condescending tone, “Angela, I misunderstood earlier, you..

Jonathan, I’m feeling better now. Let’s go,” Angela interrupted, seemingly not hearing her as she smiled sweetly and took over, pushing the wheelchair from the security guard.

“Okay.”

Angela pushed the wheelchair and winked at Jessica, who was following behind. “Let’s go. Jess.”

Jessica’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed.

Her gossip–loving soul was ignited. Who was this man who was so kind to Angela? This was amazing, as Angela wouldn’t have to fear the Kins Family anymore. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

In an instant, the once bustling office fell silent and awkward.

Thomas looked at Scarlet and Samuel with resentment. “Madam, I don’t mean to offend, but Angela is also your child. How can you side with outsiders and allow her to be beaten?”

“You don’t understand. This child has always been disobedient. If I’m not strict with her, how can I control her?” Scarlet also had many complaints. Was it her fault? It was all because Angela was disobedient.

Thomas shook his head. “Even so, children have their own self–esteem. It’s acceptable to discipline them at home, but outside, home is their last refuge, and family is their last support.

“If a child is bullied outside, and this last refuge can’t provide shelter, and the family even wants to tear down the house she built herself, leaving her exposed to the elements, how can she love this home, and how can she obey the family’s rules?”

Scarlet was stunned. She opened her mouth to argue, but for a moment, she didn’t know where to begin.
