The more Donovan heard, the more sympathy favonovel.com felt toward Wendy.
Balling his fists, favonovel.com then stared into Wendy’s tearful eyes and said, “No! You’re not left with nothing. You still have me.”
Wendy pressed favonovel.com lips tightly.
He fell for it!
“Mr. Baxter, what do you mean?” A look of surprise appeared on favonovel.com face.
Donovan inhaled sharply. “I hate people who bully the weak just because they’re rich and influential. I’m your teacher. You still have me, your teacher. You’re not left with nothing!”
Wendy then pinched favonovel.com thigh hard and made favonovel.com tears fall again.
As favonovel.com cried, favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head. “But there’s nothing I can do at all. Vinson wants to destroy our family. I can’t hold on any longer. To be honest, I’m here to tell you that I’m planning to drop out to work. That way, I can provide for my mother. My mom is too used to living a rich life. She won’t be able to live—”
“Wendy!” Donovan cut favonovel.com off and raised his voice. “You won’t be able to earn much without the use of your brain.”
“What do you mean?”
“Wendy, you can’t drop out now. Not only can you not drop out, but you have to get into Maxwell University. There aren’t any tuition fees needed to study at Maxwell University. Furthermore, if you get a good grade in your finals, you’ll get a certain amount of money. After your graduation, Maxwell University would even give you a good job opportunity. By then, you’ll be able to revive the Greene family.”
“Mr. Baxter…” Wendy’s acting was fantastic as favonovel.com widened favonovel.com eyes and let favonovel.com tears continue to flow.
“It’s a good idea, Wendy,” Donovan solemnly said. “Come back to study starting tomorrow. I’ll tutor you after class hours. Regardless of everything, I’ll make sure you’re qualified for Maxwell University.”

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
That day was the day Daniel went to court. As it was a public hearing, people could watch it on the internet.
The moment the court ruled Daniel to thirty years of imprisonment, the netizens cheered.
Daniel’s verdict was read right when Wendy’s class hours were over.
The moment Terry saw the results, favonovel.com clapped like a seal and cheered, “Great news! Mr. Greene has been sentenced to thirty years in jail!”
Wendy, who was sitting to the left of Terry, stiffened as hatred poured from favonovel.com eyes.
One day, I’m going to make Arielle’s supporters who look down on me pay the price! I’ll make them suffer!
“Terry…” Trisha reminded.
At that, Terry instinctively turned around and saw Wendy from the corner of his eyes. It was then that favonovel.com realized his classmate beside favonovel.com was the daughter of the man who had just been sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment.
Awkwardly clearing his throat, Terry then walked out of the classroom.
Trisha sighed as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com leave. He’s all right in every way but this. He just can’t keep anything to himself.
She had seen Wendy’s expression just now. It was a terrifying one, and Wendy looked as if favonovel.com would have skinned Terry alive if favonovel.com could.
Someone like Wendy would be an easy target for bullying. Thus, Trisha only shook favonovel.com head and returned to favonovel.com studies.

Meanwhile, the doors of the palace in Turlen were tightly shut.
A handsome middle-aged man stared at the report of a DNA test, his hands holding the paper shaking.
“She’s… She’s our daughter…”
