Chapter 321
Kenneth’s words made Rhard’s heart sink. He looked at Kenneth with anger in his
eyes.

Even Emma couldn’t help but raise her volume, “Why? I’ve apologized. Why do you have to suppress the Houston family?”
As Emma roared, tears streamed down her cheeks. It seemed like she was the wronged one.
Cassandra couldn’t help but frown. Why would the perpetrators always feel wronged? Didn’t they realize that they were wrong?
Even Richard had the same reaction. His respect had turned into impatience.
Was that what a retired soldier should be?
Richard looked at Kenneth with dissatisfaction and said, “Don’t go too far. I asked Emma to apologize as you requested. Why don’t you let the Houston family go? Do you think we’re easy to bully?”
Kenneth was the commanding officer of the Falcon Special Operations Force. As the leader, if Kenneth broke his promise and went back on his word, his people wouldn’t be convinced.
Kenneth asked, “Mr. Houston, do you believe that a mere apology erases the consequences of one’s mistakes? What purpose do the police serve if that were the case? Are we expected to disregard the harm caused by Emma to Cassandra at school and the insults Emma directed at Cassandra during yesterday’s banquet?
“If you think so, the cost of your mistake will be too low, right? The Houston family still doesn’t realize its mistake. In that case, I won’t stop. Kenneth’s tone was cold.
Cassandra smiled and thought, ‘Kenneth really understands me. My forgiveness doesn’t mean that I won’t punish them. Timothy doesn’t have the habit of attacking others overnight, but Jeremiah does.
‘I don’t believe that Jeremiah knew nothing about what happened yesterday!
As expected, after a while, Richard received another call from Sampson. “Sampson, what’s the matter? Don’t worry. Grandpa won’t let you go to Ouflanca,” said Richard.

Sampson’s angry voice came through the phone, “I’d rather go to Ouflanca alone now than be suspended here! Grandpa, have you ever disciplined Emma at home? Now the Internet is flooded with trending topics about her. All the rumors have been confirmed. This morning as soon as my supervisor arrived, he suspended me from my position and ordered an investigation. I am being suspected of abuse of power!”
Richard was stimulated. He stepped back repeatedly. How could this happen?
Richard almost lost his balance and asked Sampson, “How… How did this happen?”
Sampson said, “I also want to know how on earth you educate Emma at home. She acts willfully outside, shows off in the name of you and me, threatens her classmates, and forces so many people to drop out of school. She is really awesome!”
Richard could feel Sampson’s anger over the phone.
Kenneth tilted his head slightly and looked at Cassandra, who smiled lightly like a cunning and cute fox.
Hearing Sampson’s furious words, Emma felt a little embarrassed and flushed. She had never been scolded like that since childhood, so she suddenly felt aggrieved.
Emma shouted, “They bullied me. Can’t I bully them? They are afraid of you and Grandpa, which has nothing to do with me. Why are you scolding me now?” Emma cried sadly.
Richard didn’t feel sorry for Emma at all this time. He thought she was really spoiled.
Emma didn’t expect that Sampson would be suspended for investigation now. Even if Sampson was proven to be innocent in the end, his career would still be affected. It would be very difficult for Sampson to get promoted for the next few
years.
But now, it turned out that Emma had bullied the weak by relying on Richard and Sampson’s power.
If someone were to begin an investigation, Emma’s actions would implicate the Houston family.
Helen was scared and at a loss after she heard Sampson’s words. She grabbed

Richard’s phone and asked, “Sampson, how are you doing now? Are you okay?”
Sampson said, “Mom, since I joined the army, I have never relied on anyone. I even asked Grandpa for help. All my achievements were earned by my hard work. Now I have to accept a false investigation because of Emma. As long as they carry out the investigation, they will know that Emma used my reputation to bully people. Do you think I won’t be punished? I’m going to be promoted to colonel soon. Do you really want to kill me?”
Hearing this, Helen cried with remorse, “Sampson, don’t worry. Your grandpa and I will find a way out.”
Sampson couldn’t stand their words and hung up directly.
Helen stared at Emma with tears in her eyes. Then she walked forward and slapped Emma in the face.
“You stupid girl! It’s all your fault. Do you want to kill your brother?” Helen’s eyes were filled with anger and disgust. “What on earth are the trending topics that your brother mentioned? Explain it to me clearly. What have you done?” Helen asked in
anger.
Helen put all the responsibility on Emma. Richard’s eyes were full of despair, and his pace toward Kenneth was instantly much heavier as if he had become ten years
older.
Richard said, “Mr. Zelinski, I didn’t teach Emma well. But it has nothing to do with Sampson. I will take all the responsibility. Please let Sampson go. He has a bright future. His life can’t be ruined because of his sister. I will discipline Emma well and let her learn to behave herself. Please forgive us!”
Richard’s tone was sad, full of remorse. But it was too late to regret it.
For a soldier, such things were never allowed to happen in his family. The Houston. family not only didn’t restrain Emma, but let her become more and more arrogant outside. A little trouble would affect the career of a soldier who was in the army. Now the Houston family had realized the problem, but it was too late.
Kenneth shook his head and said indifferently, “Mr. Houston, I admit that it was me who ordered Sampson to go to Ouflanca, but I just found out about the investigation and his suspension.”

Clearly, Richard didn’t believe it. He gazed at Kenneth in disbelief. As Kenneth’s eyes remained sincere and devoid of evasion, Richard felt a deep sense of heartbreak.

Cassandra suggested, “Mr. Houston, rather than begging me for help, it’s better tot see what is going on on the Internet and what serious things have affected Sampson, instead of wasting time asking for forgiveness.”
Hearing this, Helen wiped the tears on her face and quickly turned on her phone to check Twitter.
As soon as she clicked in, she saw several trending topics on the homepage.
Helen felt dizzy and almost couldn’t see the words clearly.
The trending topics were all about the Houston family.
The top trending hashtags were, “Undergraduates of Juset University,” “Juset University’s Former High School Bully,” “Emma of Juset University: Bully,” “Emma from the Houston family in Drieso,” “Emma’s Granddaughter,” “Emma’s Brother, a Soldier about to Be Promoted to Colonel,” “How Powerful Emma Is,” “Impact of Emma’s Bullying on Girls,” and “The Victim’s Reaction to Emma.”
There was more. The information provided was detailed, spanning from Emma’s college years to high school, from her individual experiences to her familial connections, and from her grandfather to her brother.
Helen sensed her blood pressure surging, feeling as though her head was on the brink of exploding.
