Stella was momentarily confused but quickly grasped David’s intention.

She patiently explained. “Dad, it’s all because Angela is heartless. She even reported her own brother to the police, and 1 heard he now has a criminal record.”
David finally understood and felt somewhat relieved. No one would support such a heartless person. Not only could Stella retaliate against Angela today, but he could also witness Angela’s mother disciplining her.
Good, let her understand the consequences of bullying his precious daughter!
Scarlett was furious with Angela.
Seeing that there were still people around, Scarlett restrained her urge to have Samuel hold Angela down for her to hit and sternly ordered, “Angela, your lack of manners is my fault as a mother, but today you must apologize to this classmate. Otherwise, you’re committing intentional assault. Do you want to go to the police station too?”
Angela glanced at her but remained silent.
For some reason, Scarlett felt an inexplicable unease from her gaze.
It was as if she felt that Angela was completely disappointed in her, treating her like a stranger.
But what surged up in her heart was nameless anger.
Why did she look at her like that? She was her biological mother, who had carried her for ten months.. Asking her to apologize was like asking her to harm herself.
David timely interjected, “Madam, I must make it clear to you that an apology from Angela is not enough today. I can’t bear to lay a finger on my daughter on normal days, but this wild girl hit her! She must let my daughter slap her back three times, or she can go to the police station.”
Scarlett was taken aback, and when she looked at Stella, she noticed her swollen face.
Was it appropriate to return the slaps directly?
“Aunt Scarlett, it’s me, Stella, Fanny’s friend. Today, I was trying to stop Angela from disrupting Fanny’s speech competition, and that’s why she hit me,”
Stella cried out in grievance. She had been to the Kins Family before, and although she didn’t visit often, Scarlett should still recognize her.
“What?” Scarlett was surprised, and only then did she recognize the swollen–faced Stella. She quickly became furious. “Angela, you dared to disrupt Fay’s competition! And you hit Fanny’s friend!”
Before Angela could say anything, Scarlett glared at her. “Mr. Johnston, I think we should resolve this matter privately today. It wouldn’t be wise for our family to face public scrutiny.”
The family had spent a lot of money and effort trying to clear Samuel’s criminal record, and it was still unresolved.

Angela was registered under their family. If she got a criminal record, it would be a complete disaster. If they wanted Fanny to have an easy job as a civil servant in the future, it would be impossible.
Resolving it meant allowing Stella to slap her back.
And Stella was already flexing her wrist, proudly approaching Angela.
Btch. She still had to obediently let herself be slapped back. She was going to scratch her face when she slapped her later and see how she could attract men in the future.
Jessica watched these people’s malicious expressions towards Angela, feeling extremely anxious. Why hadn’t her father arrived yet?
She wanted to step forward to help, but Samuel glanced at her and blocked her with his arm. “She brought this upon herself.”
Seeing that no one was stopping her, Stella’s eyes gleamed as she walked up to Angela.
Angela instinctively protected herself but heard Scarlett complaining on the side. “You’re always causing trouble at home and now causing trouble for Donald. Samuel, you go and explain to Uncle Donald what happened. I don’t want to see them!”
Angela’s eyes drooped slightly, and the hand she had raised dropped again.
If she went to the police station, even if it was eventually proven that Stella was at fault, she probably wouldn’t be able to get out for a while, and Donald’s family would have to go through a lot for her.
Stella glared maliciously at the silent Angela, her sharp nails hooked, and she raised her hand high..
Squeak!
The office door swung open abruptly, causing Stella to pause and turn her attention towards the entrance. To her surprise, it was an elderly man who had entered,
Was it Jessica’s father? Or Uncle Donald?
Before she could react, a sound resembling the rolling of a wheelchair reached her ears from outside the door.
A man in a wheelchair was being pushed into the room.
Stella was taken aback.
Could there truly be such a handsome man in existence?
The man had a cold demeanor and a stern face, with features that appeared as if they were chiseled by a skilled artist. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, his posture remained upright and commanding. emitting an aura of authority that sent a chilling and intimidating vibe without any visible signs of anger.
Such an individual would undoubtedly capture one’s attention in a crowd, making it impossible to divert one’s gaze elsewhere.
Stella was so astonished that she momentarily forgot what she was doing with her hands.

However, as the man observed her actions and the person in front of her, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.
“What is happening here?” Sebastian had not anticipated stumbling upon someone about to harm Angela. In his haste, he disregarded everything else and rushed over to shield her. “Angela, are you alright?”
Angela was also taken aback.
Why was Jonathan here as well?
Every time something occurred, Jonathan seemed to be present. Angela felt a mix of reassurance and anxiety,
Would Jonathan think she was a troublemaker, always causing problems?
Thomas assumed that these two individuals were also Angela’s relatives and hesitated. After all, it would not reflect well if it became known that a student was being assaulted under his supervision.
But how was he supposed to pacify David’s anger?
Just as Thomas grappled with this predicament, he noticed a change in David’s expression. David immediately became obsequious, retrieving a cigarette from his jacket pocket and scurrying over to Jonathan. “Mr. Lawson, what a pleasant surprise! I was planning to visit your home in a few days.”
Upon reaching him, the previously arrogant David became as submissive as a eunuch, bowing so low that it seemed as if he wanted to bow even lower than Jonathan.
Jonathan cast him a cold glance. “Is this how your school handles conflicts between children?”
Angela’s heart skipped a beat, and she recoiled, appearing particularly pitiful.
“I understand.” David glanced between Angela and Jessica, suddenly comprehending. He chuckled ingratiatingly. “So this is Mr. Lawson’s child. What a coincidence!”
With that, he turned to Jessica, assuming the role of a benevolent elder. “So, you are the daughter of the Lawson Family. I must admit, I was unaware.”
Jessica blinked, her mind going blank. Was he referring to her?
David attempted to win favor with Jessica in an attempt to make amends for his earlier unpleasantness. However, he failed to notice the perplexed expressions on the faces of Scarlett, Samuel, and Jessica herself.
Just as David was about to approach Jessica, Jonathan suddenly looked up, his gaze directly falling upon Angela.
“Was there a fight?”
His tone was casual, making it impossible to discern whether he was pleased or displeased.
Angela’s heart tightened, and she felt as if Jonathan was unexpectedly supporting her. This thought caused her face to flush. “Yes, there was a fight.
