    The decision rested solely on her. “No!” Scarlet was the first to speak out, visibly agitated. “Didn’t you


    all see? This has nothing to do with Fanny. Ste took it upon herself to ask Fanny. Fanny had no


    idea!”


    Her words fell on deaf ears.


    Jonathan continued to gaze at Ang, awaiting her opinion.


    After contemting for a moment, Ang raised her head and said, “Jonathan, please wait. I have


    another question. Ste, I need to ask you something. Did you untie the rope that was holding the


    banner?”


    She had intended to review the surveince footage of the banner’s rope, but it happened to be in a


    blind spot and was not captured.


    At that moment, Ste was not the only one present.


    Fanny was there as well.


    Ste, her face swollen, suppressed the urge to curse at Ang and resentfully replied, “What rope?”


    “The banner fell because someone untied the rope, and it almost hit Jess.” Ang remained


    composed.


    Ste, irritated by Ang’s demeanor, retorted, “How could I possibly untie the rope? Ang, that


    banner. could have killed someone! I may dislike Jessica, but I’m not that cruel.”


    Ang nodded, ceasing her questioning, and returned to Jonathan’s side, stating, “Jonathan, I have


    finished asking. There is no need to involve Fanny.”


    Scarlet breathed a sigh of relief. Ang still had a conscience. If she had dared to implicate Fanny in


    this, Scarlet would have pped her for sure.


    Thomas now understood the situation. Although he didn’t know who Jonathan was, he cursed Ste in


    his heart. How could a studentmit such a malicious act as drugging someone, causing so much


    trouble for the school?


    Seeing that Jonathan had yet to speak, he finally weakly spoke up, “Mr. Lawson, I am Thomas from the


    school. I sincerely apologize for what happened today. We will definitely punish Ste to your


    satisfaction.”


    Jonathan still kept his eyes down, not responding or looking at him, but this silence made Thomas feel


    an overwhelming sense of crisis. The pressure climbed up his spine, weighing heavily on his back.


    He wanted to speak again, but Sebastian sternly interjected, “Sir, how to resolve this matter should be


    the victim. Don’t you think?”


    up


    to


    A warm feeling washed over Ang’s heart. So, Jonathan was nning to let her decide. He truly


    wanted to give herplete control over this matter.


    Sebastian was also standing up for her. How touching-


    “This…” Thomas didn’t believe a young girl could handle this matter properly, but he opened his mouth,


    nced at the silent David, and awkwardly chuckled. “You’re right, Ang. How do you propose we


    resolve


    this?”

    Ang gained confidence, her eyes shining brighter than before. She shifted her gaze and said, “Sir, I


    don’t believe you can handle this matter appropriately.”


    Thomas felt all eyes on him and found himself speechless. He truly wanted to p himself. Why did he


    agree to let Ste go just now? This kind of handling was not befitting of his position as vice principal,


    and it was unfair to his students. It was no wonder Ang couldn’t trust him.


    Ang continued, “Let’s not involve the police. After all, it’s an internal matter within the school.”


    As soon as her words left her lips, she could clearly sense Thomas and David both exhaling a sigh of


    relief, while Ste appeared unsurprised.


    They were relieved too soon.


    Ang smirked and said, “Simply expel her. She’s only a freshman; she can go back and retake the


    entrance exam and learn moral education again. Ste, start anew.”


    “What?!” Ste eximed. “You want me to drop out? Ang, how dare you!”


    “Not drop out, but expulsion. Ang kindly rified.


    “Ang, you’re just as ruthless and self–centered as your family imed. You…”


    Ste was fuming, cursing without restraint. David was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he


    immediately covered his daughter’s mouth, saying. “Mr. Lawson, my daughter doesn’t know any better.


    I will go to the school to discuss the expulsion today.”


    Jonathan finally raised his heavy gaze and asked, “How many disrespectful words did she use just


    now?”


    “Two.” David struggled to remember Ste’s disrespectful words from earlier and then tentatively


    suggested, “Mr. Lawson, should we consider withdrawing from bidding for the two plots ofnd in the


    city center this time?”


    “Okay.”


    Jonathan’s face showed no joy, but David was almost in tears.


    Finally, a trace of fear shed across Ste’s face.


    Although she didn’t usually pay attention to David’s business, she could gather some information from


    his conversations and phone calls when he came home. These two pieces ofnd were crucial to the


    Lawson Family. David had been upied with this matter for almost two months, and she didn’t know


    how many subordinates he had scolded over the phone.


    The next moment, David turned his head to look at Ste, anger flickering in his eyes, but he held it


    back for now. After quickly bidding farewell to Jonathan, he hurriedly left the scene with Ste.


    Thomas looked miserable. How did he get involved with such a person? However, when he nced at


    Scarlet and Samuel, he couldn’t help but grumble internally.


    The way Jonathan referred to Ang didn’t sound like they were siblings. Jonathan was so protective


    of Ang, even more so than her own family. If it weren’t for their indifferent and evenplicit


    attitudes. carlier, he wouldn’t have given up intervening when Ang was being beaten.

    Scarlet appeared somewhat embarrassed. She hadn’t expected that this incident was indeed not


    Ang’s fault. But she couldn’t bring herself to apologize, and the thought of Ang trying to involve


    Fanny earlier filled her with disgust.


    Samuel’s expression was even moreplicated,


    Why was Jonathan so protective of Ang?


    With his protection, would Ang really need to return to the Kins Family in the future?


    He wasn’t sure anymore.


    Finally, Scarlet spoke first, in a condescending tone, “Ang, I misunderstood earlier, you..


    Jonathan, I’m feeling better now. Let’s go,” Ang interrupted, seemingly not hearing her as she smiled


    sweetly and took over, pushing the wheelchair from the security guard.


    “Okay.”


    Ang pushed the wheelchair and winked at Jessica, who was following behind. “Let’s go. Jess.”


    Jessica’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed.


    Her gossip–loving soul was ignited. Who was this man who was so kind to Ang? This was amazing,


    as Ang wouldn’t have to fear the Kins Family anymore.


    In an instant, the once bustling office fell silent and awkward.


    Thomas looked at Scarlet and Samuel with resentment. “Madam, I don’t mean to offend, but Ang is


    also your child. How can you side with outsiders and allow her to be beaten?”


    “You don’t understand. This child has always been disobedient. If I’m not strict with her, how can I


    control her?” Scarlet also had manyints. Was it her fault? It was all because Ang was


    disobedient.


    Thomas shook his head. “Even so, children have their own self–esteem. It’s eptable to discipline


    them at home, but outside, home is theirst refuge, and family is theirst support.


    “If a child is bullied outside, and thisst refuge can’t provide shelter, and the family even wants to tear


    down the house she built herself, leaving her exposed to the elements, how can she love this home,


    and how can she obey the family’s rules?”


    Scarlet was stunned. She opened her mouth to argue, but for a moment, she didn’t know where to


    begin.
