All Chapters of The Substitute’s Redemption : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The principal spoke first, “Are you going to deny your guilt, Linda? Again?”Even beneath her makeup Linda had gone ghastly pale. With nowhere left to run she could only sob and beg for mercy.“They insulted me first. I was so angry so I wasn't thinking…“You were the one who started it,” Ivy interjected a little too hastily. “Why would we insult you for no reason?”Wordlessly Linda continued to let her tears flow. It was the man she needed to convince – as long as they didn't pursue the matter nothing would happen to her.Unfortunately, she was dealing with Ethan Harrington.“Earlier, she said that she should be compensated for being attacked”, Ethan said calmly. “In that case, she should compensate them for landing the first blow. How much do you think is appropriate?”Professor Amos leapt on his words.“That's right. She should compensate them. A hundred dollars should do it, as long as she apologizes too.“That's too much,” Linda spat.“Fine. Then I guess you just be expelled”, Ivy

“You don't have to be so polite around me, Jane. I just hope you don't despise my cooking.”“Of course not.” In fact, the aroma wafting from the table full of dishes was incredibly appetizing.“I've also already prepared the cutlery and cleaned up the kitchen. Why don't you take a seat, Jane?”Before Jane could respond, Ethan pulled her towards a chair.“Just relax," he said. “She had the time on her hands anyway.”His remark made Cassidy's heart bleed, a small but swift trickle. I am doing all this for you, she thought.Not that Ethan would have cared, even if he knew.After dinner, Jane consulted a diagram of human anatomy in her textbook and asked, “Dear, how are your legs now?”“I'm starting to feel a little sensation in them.”Jane’s eyes lit up. Abandoning her book, she squatted beside his wheelchair and pinched his legs.“How about this? Do you feel anything?”He stared at her, words failing him.He wasn't really crippled so yes, he could feel her touch – including her soft palm

The butler's head whirled around and he bowed.“Young Master,” he greeted his tone differential.Ethan recognized him, he was called Uncle George.“If you're going to call me your ‘Young Master’ then maybe you should treat my wife with the appropriate courtesy,” he said icily.“Young Master… your father is doing this for your sake. He —”“I don't care whether he did it for me or his reputation. Now get out.”Uncle George opened his mouth but said nothing; he knew the relationship between father and son would not be so easily mended. With the money hand he retreated from the cafe.It was a surprise to see her husband but a welcome one.“Why are you here?” Jane asked.Her smile soothed Ethan slightly but then her jacket caught his eye, complete with another man's invisible paw prints. The thought burned like acid.“I missed you," he said simply.How clingy. “I will be home soon.”“As long as you are out of my sight, I can't possibly be at peace.” His words were released with an underlyin

In that split second of rage, her arm nearly swept out and sent the cutlery crashing to the floor. The only thing that held her back was that Ethan had allowed her to stay in his house, by his side – and that meant he must care about her somehow.When she finished cleaning up the kitchen, she turned around and saw Bruce inviting a dozen people into the house. They were like a small army, loaded with all kinds of jewelry, clothes, shoes and even skincare products…They had to be gifts for a woman. Could it be a surprise Ethan had prepared for her?The corners of Cassidy's lips curled up as she approached the group.“Set the items down,” she instructed. “I want to inspect them.”They didn't move, instead looking to Bruce. Only when he nodded did they obey and leave.Cassidy examined the abundance of items. Which woman wouldn't enjoy being showered with jewelry and new clothes, let alone from the man of their heart? Excitement raced in her.“Who picked these out?” she asked.“The Young Ma

The customer service officer explained, “Our company clothes are easy to recognize because of their unique markings. Our label is never on the back of the collar but on the side of the pocket so as to not chafe the wearer's neck. Ma’am, this coat of yours is a poor quality defective good, not even a high quality imitation.”“But…” Selene sputtered, face contorted.“Hear that?” Now move aside. How about this coat? Is it real?” Ivy lifted Jane’s coat to the camera.“It is ma’am. It is currently our top trending item, but there's only one of it in the world. It is worth 1.1 million dollars. You are lucky to have it.”“Thank you for your help. I take back what I said about suing you!” Ivy hung up and raised a brow at Selene.“What are you still hanging around here for? You mocked Jane for wearing authentic goods dressed in those inferior goods of yours? Jane might not want to argue with you but I won't let you off so easily.”The truth of Selene’s malice and vanity began to settle over the
