"What?" Carina's expression was one of shock.No wonder Eden was so angry—Talia was…By the gods!Everything they did to Talia... Eden was going to do the same things to them, manifold.Carina wouldn't even be surprised if Eden did the same thing to them.She was a madwoman!Laudes stopped screaming. Eden then crushed her right leg.For the past thirty minutes, screams of agony had been echoing from the classroom of Class 3-18.However, no one dared to investigate further when they heard the screams.The classroom was blocked off.A group of men-in-black with stony expressions and a murderous aura surrounded it.The students of Riverside Senior High, having never seen anything like this, stayed in their classrooms out of fear.Some teachers couldn't bear it and wanted to see what was going on, but the bodyguards blocked their view.Some teachers went to the principal, but he simply waved his hand and said, "Got it."After that, there was no further news.The teachers und
Samuel glanced at Miriam and said nothing."We need to clean this mess up," Miriam said sternly.She had been unhappy with Eden from the beginning. After the ruckus Eden caused, Miriam would never agree to let her stay at Riverside Senior High."I suppose we have to," Samuel said, then glanced at Jordan. "Make an announcement. Laudes Aradia, Carina Duran, and twenty other students involved in bullying will receive a major demerit on their records. If there's a next time, it will be expulsion."All the other teachers, except Jordan, stared at him in disbelief.Miriam was so furious that she felt a pain in her chest. "What are you doing? Laudes and Carina are the ones being bullied! Why aren't you helping them and instead punishing them?""This is my decision. Go back to work," Samuel said, waving his hand dismissively."What..." Miriam was livid. Seeing that Samuel refused to do anything about it, she felt that she was out of options.After a long pause, she roared, "Fine, I'll
Miriam stood frozen in shock, unable to process what she had just heard.After a while, she recomposed herself and said angrily, "What are you talking about? They never told me they were being bullied."Eden sneered. "Oh, is it really because they didn't tell you? Or did you know all along and refuse to do anything about it?"Suddenly, Eden's eyes turned cold, a glint appearing as she stared at Miriam, seemingly trying to see through her thoughts.Miriam nervously took a step back, scared by the intense stare.After a long pause, she said with a pale expression, supporting herself by holding the podium, "You're the ones who attacked two fellow students. To shirk your responsibilities, you are trying to frame others instead. Get out of the school right now! Riverside Senior High doesn't need trash like you."As soon as she said that, the students from Class 3-18 were enraged. They stood up, banging their tables. "What right do you have to get rid of her? She's not the one being cr
Solus’s subordinate flinched slightly but quickly regained composure and whispered into Solus’s ear, “It’s Ms. Laudes’s classmate. It wasn’t anything serious. Ms. Laudes taught a classmate a lesson, and in return, the girl broke Ms. Laudes’s arms and legs.”Solus narrowed his eyes and said icily, “Have we figured out who she is?”“We have,” the subordinate replied. “She’s Eden Griffith, the stepdaughter of the Hunt family. She’s lived in the countryside all her life and was only recently brought back. The Hunt family wants her to marry her current fiancé in place of one of their own. She herself doesn’t have much going for her, but her fiancé is not someone we can handle right now.”“Who is he?” Solus asked seriously.Having built his influence in Estburg for many years, there were few who could intimidate him.“A son of the Ward family from Rielton.”Solus paused for a moment before saying, “He really isn’t someone I can deal with. In that case, don’t kill Eden. Just break her a
Riverside Senior High.The school had finally made a decision regarding Eden’s actions against the other students.Joseph’s voice came through the speakers. “Laudes Aradia, Carina Duran… All the students involved in bullying have portrayed despicable actions. The school’s punishment is as follows: Laudes Aradia and Carina Duran will receive a major demerit, which will be recorded in their school records. The other students involved will receive a minor demerit. We hope this serves as a warning to everyone.”The entire school was stunned.Jasmine, in Class 3-1, dragged her pen harshly across her notebook, putting so much force into it that the pages were left mangled. Malice burned in her eyes as she gritted her teeth.Why?Why didn’t the school punish Eden after such a serious offense?She couldn’t believe the principal did this because of Eden alone. It must have been Alain who had intervened.Jasmine’s anger flared!What was so appealing about Eden?For Alain to go to such
Peter furrowed his eyebrows and quickly said, "Where can you send them? You have school, you're still staying with the Wards, and your grandmother needs someone to look after her. If you take them with you, can you really make proper arrangements for them?"Eden's expression shifted slightly as she pursed her lips, saying nothing.Seeing her hesitation, Peter continued, "Staying with the Sinclairs is the best option for them. No one will dare touch them as long as they're with us. You have your own personal issues to handle, and it's not convenient for you."What happened this time is my fault. I will personally take care of it and give you an explanation."Peter drank a cup of coffee and looked at Eden. "You let me take them in because you don't want them to be disturbed, right?"Eden was silent for a long time but was finally convinced. "Fine. Please take good care of them, Peter. But I don't want anything like this to ever happen again.""It won't! Their parents…" Peter sighed
Riverside Senior High went quiet for quite some time after what had happened.Laudes switched classes.Carina switched schools.All the students they had bullied earlier let out a sigh of relief and were grateful that Eden had taken care of Laudes on their behalf.After the commotion, they all once again returned to their studious atmosphere.Eden followed Joy and the others to the cafeteria for lunch today."Eden, the cultural festival is going to start soon. Some of our classmates are thinking of doing hip-hop. Why don't you join us?" Joy mumbled as she slurped some pasta.Every year, the senior classes would organize a cultural festival, and each class had to prepare for a performance.To be honest, the students from Class 3-18 didn't want to pick hip-hop since another class was already doing it, and Jasmine was the one leading the team.Jasmine was pretty and many of the students liked her. If they were to pick hip-hop, it would just reflect badly on themselves.However,
Joy, who was the top in Class 3-18, was only ranked 200 in the overall ranking in Riverside Senior High's senior year.Joy looked down and walked over to Ewan, whispering, "It's fine. We can practice on the school field."Since Joy could dance well, she was the captain of the dance team this time.She didn't like to cause any problems, thinking she could keep the peace by taking a step back.However, Ewan refused. "No. I'm taking the dance studio whether they like it or not. We'll practice here and see who'll try to get rid of us."Miriam walked into the dance studio just as he had finished saying that.When she saw the Class 3-1 students standing still at the door, she said, "What are you all doing standing around? Why haven't you started your practice? The cultural festival is in three weeks. You need to get me the Excellent Class Award, you hear me?"The performance during the cultural festival was part of the evaluation. Miriam wanted to get everything.She also wanted the
