Chapter 873
Skylar felt a sharp pang in her heart as she looked at Wendy. The latter appeared like a broken doll, with tears in her eyes that never fell. Her face was pale as she stared at her family.
“Wendy, how are you?” Simona asked urgently upon seeing Wendy.
When she returned to school, she faced new classmates, all of whom were a year younger than her. The first person to become her friend was Wendy.
Wendy shook her head weakly. “I… I’m fine.”
But she knew she could never return to school now.
Valencia and Jimmy had initially wanted her to skip college and marry right away. Now, with her current condition… they would surely never allow her to return to school.
“Of course you’re fine! Since you’re fine, hurry up and get discharged. Then, go to the police and clear things up.
“After that, call the parents of those male classmates and demand compensation. From now on, stay at home and don’t cause any more trouble. You’ve really embarrassed us!” Valencia scolded.
Wendy’s body trembled violently. Her face grew even paler, but the tears in her eyes remained unmoved.” Mom, I did nothing wrong. They bullied us, it was them.”
But Valencia, Jimmy, and Keith seemed to be deaf. They acted as if they hadn’t heard her. “You said you did nothing wrong? If you were truly innocent, why would they target you, not someone else? If you hadn’t flirted with them, would they have bullied you?”
“How disgraceful!” Jimmy spat.
“Didn’t you hear what Wendy said? You’re the real jerks!” Simona cried out in anguish.
Wendy must be suffering so much right now.
Skylar asked coldly, “Do you realize that your comments are helping criminals evade justice? Do you understand the consequences?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Keith sneered and said, “What crime? They’re just students. What do students know? We’ll give them a chance if they just apologize and pay up. Don’t t
Then Keith turned to Wendy, saying, “And Wendy, you should come with us now.”
Wendy took a step back, her face ashen as she looked at them. Despite her frailty, she held on to her decision with courage. “I don’t want money. I want those boys to pay for what they did today.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Valencia couldn’t hold back any longer and moved toward Wendy, ready to strike her.
It was clear that physical abuse had been a common occurrence for Wendy.
Wendy took another step back, looking at Valencia with despair. “Is it only when I’m dead that you’ll be satisfied? No, I can’t die. Even if I die, you won’t mourn for me.”
“Go ahead and die if you dare. If you die, we can at least get more money from those boy’s parents. At least then, your death would have some value,” K
Meanwhile, Jimmy stepped forward and raised his hand, ready to hit Wendy as well. “We sent you to school to find a wealthy husband, and now you’ve been ruined. How dare you speak to us like that! You need a serious lesson.”
Wendy’s eyes were hollow. She said, “I want to sever ties with all of you.”
“You ungrateful girl, what are you talking about? Who do you think you are to talk about severing ties? If we didn’t support you, you’d be out begging for scraps!” Valencia roared.
Just as Jimmy was about to strike Wendy, Skylar stepped in to block him.
“Did you hear what she said?” Skylar demanded.
Simona took the opportunity to support Wendy. “Wendy, we’ll face this together. Don’t be afraid.”
“Get out of the way!” Jimmy tried to push Skylar aside.
As his hand reached out to touch Skylar, someone kicked Jimmy aside, sending him sprawling.
“Did they hurt you?” Joe’s face was dark as he checked Skylar for injuries.
Skylar sighed with relief upon seeing Joe. She had handed her phone to Simona after making a call.
She was afraid she might not handle the situation well if it escalated. “Who are you? How dare you hit people!” Valencia demanded angrily.
