Chapter 532: Prompt Decision
J felt absolutely nothing when she looked at L’s bloodshot, tear-filled eyes. She actually just felt
like L was wildly ridiculous and like a clown putting on a show at the circus in that moment.
“You wanted to take my life from me. I will not exact the revenge I deserve against you, purely for the
sake of my mother and father. It is impossible for me to forgive you. You’d better pack up your things and
leave immediately.”
The look on J’s face was icy cold. When she had finished speaking, her eyes fell on Ethan’s injured
knee. She felt a lump in her throate up again.
Ethan was injured because of her. How could she ever forgive L? If it weren’t for Beal and Johanna’s
presence, she really wanted to give L a hard p on the face. She also wanted to drag L down the
street and make her taste how it felt to almost be hit by a car. Ignoring L’s hypocritical plea, Ethan
bypassed her and gently supported J.
“Let me help you back to your room. You have sprained your ankle. You can’t go to work today.”
Then he turned to Beal and Johanna and said, “Mr. and Mrs. White, I will take J to her room now.”
Seeing that J’s ankle was red and swollen, Ethan carried her in his arms and went upstairs. Beal
and Johanna sat on the couch with morose looks on their faces. L was still crying on the floor. Johanna
had creases between her eyebrows. It seemed like the ordeal had aged her several years in an instant.
L’s bawling became more and more pathetic.
After a long time, Johanna looked up at Beal and said irritably, “Honey, give L her birth parents’
personal information and current address. We have to deal with this.”
Beal didn’t object. He adjusted his sses and looked at L with gravely.
“L, I’ll inform your parents in advance that you will be returning. You can pack up your things and go to
them. Take away all your belongings now.” He paused for a few seconds and nced at Johanna. Then
he continued, “We will also give you some money so that you can live on with your life.”
“No, Dad, Mom, I don’t want…” L wiped her tears away. Her eyes had begun to sting. She copsed
on the carpet and refused to leave. Leaving the family would mean that she would no longer be a White
family member.
All she had, the extravagant, rich life, the money, and the social status, would all fall away.

L refused to move and continued to cry her eyes out. Beal sighed heavily.
“I know it will be hard for you to take this. We will give you three days to pack up everything. But we don’t
want to see you around here after that.”
Johanna was afraid that she would soften if she stayed at this piteous scene. She gathered her coat up
and got to her feet. She instructed a nearby servant who was busy cleaning, “Go to L’s room and pack
up her things for her. If there is just too much jewelry and clothing to pack, call the movingpany.
There’s no need to prepare lunch. We will be eating out.”
Hearing what Johanna said, L became more distressed than ever. She stood up and rushed to
Johanna. She held her leg and said, “Mom, I don’t want to be separated from you. I have never left your
side since the day I was born. You can’t do this to me!”
Johanna pursed her lips. She squatted down and wiped the tears off L’s face with her fingers. Her
voice was as gentle and kind as it had been when L was a child, but there was only coldness in her
eyes.
“L, don’t embarrass yourself anymore. You used to be the daughter of the White family. You should
keep your dignity when you leave. There are consequences that you must bear for your decisions. You
can’t stay a child forever.”
When L heard her words, she was utterly flummoxed for a while. She was so out of it that she didn’t
know when but Johanna and Beal had left. She watched their receding figures, covered her face and
burst into a fresh onught of tears.
