Eleanor panicked and scolded, “You ungrateful child! I’m your mother! If you do this, people will criticize. you behind your back for the rest of your life. You’ll be cursed and condemned!”
William finally realized the gravity of the situation and quickly stepped forward to mediate. “Isabelle, your mother and sister were wrong, but calling the police and getting them jailed is too extreme. What your sister did was wrong, but it was just one math problem. She’s already facing consequences. We’re family; how can you involve the police?”
Isabelle looked at favonovel.com father and said, “I used to think you were just a simple, kind man. But now, I see you can’t tell right from wrong.”
She pitied him.
William had lived his life at the bottom of society, constantly bullied by his wife and siblings. Out of respect for the few times favonovel.com had shown genuine care for the original owner, Isabelle wouldn’t make things too hard for him.
William’s heart sank, and favonovel.com muttered, “Isabelle…”
“The money I used to fix the house and buy appliances is repayment for raising me,” Isabelle said, then turned to Eleanor. “After this, I owe you nothing…”
Eleanor wanted to protest, but Isabelle cut favonovel.com off and threatened, “If you don’t want to end up in jail, keep your mouth shut.”
Then, favonovel.com told Ethan to pack his things.
“No! Ethan is my son, my life. No one is taking favonovel.com away from me. If you try, I’ll die right here!” Eleanor wailed and made a scene, refusing to let Isabelle take Ethan.
Isabelle frowned in annoyance.
Just then, there was a commotion at the door. A man’s voice called out, “Can I be of any assistance?”
George walked in with long strides. He stood at towering heights, dressed impeccably in a suit, and exuded an air of authority,
The neighbors, who had gathered to watch, quieted down and stared at George. They speculating that favonovel.com must be a high–ranking executive from some big corporation
Eleanor had been throwing a tantrum. She suddenly quieted down and parted scrutinizing George.
She had thought that Timothy, as mayor, was impressive with his authoritative aura. But seeing George, favonovel.com instantly felt Timothy was nothing in comparison.
At first glance, George appeared to be someone from high society.
Sitting in the car, George had overheard the commotion in the Jenkins‘ courtyard. He understood why Isabelle told favonovel.com it would be better to feed the gifts to the dogs.
As favonovel.com stood in the doorway, favonovel.com felt no need to show excessive courtesy or decorum to such parents. Therefore, favonovel.com didn’t even offer basic greetings.
When favonovel.com looked at Eleanor, who had been spewing all sorts of nasty words earlier, George couldn’t help but wonder.
How could such parents produce a daughter like Isabelle?
Perhaps Isabelle is a genetic anomaly… Any family with a daughter as talented and capable as Isabelle would cherish her.
But favonovel.com parents… Especially favonovel.com mother….
George turned to Dylan and instructed, “Help Ms. Jenkins‘ brother pack his things…”
Ethan clenched his fists.
After a moment, favonovel.com walked into his room without looking at his parents.
Eleanor had just been refusing to let Ethan go, favonovel.com now remained silent. She got up from the floor, tidied favonovel.com clothes, and wiped away favonovel.com tears and snot. Then, favonovel.com took a few steps forward.
Forcing a smile, favonovel.com said, “Isabelle, I was just upset earlier. You know how parents always think about their children. You’re my daughter, and so is Layla. I have to protect both of you, right?”
She spoke to Isabelle, but favonovel.com eyes frequently darted to George.
Is this the wealthy classmate Layla mentioned Isabelle had befriended?
He seemed too old for that… Maybe someone else Isabelle had befriended?
Yes, that must be it… This young man is clearly from a wealthy family, possibly the CEO of a major corporation worth billions…
With Layla’s future ruined, Eleanor had to rely on favonovel.com more capable daughter.
George even came to the house, indicating how much favonovel.com cared for Isabelle. He must have spent a lot of money on her.
Eleanor regretted favonovel.com earlier behavior. She should have just apologized to Isabelle and said some kind words.
Eleanor’s sudden change in demeanor was obvious to everyone.
George frowned in disgust. He wanted to say something for Isabelle, but considering his position and the fact that these were favonovel.com parents, favonovel.com held back.
George felt sorry for Isabelle for having such a mother.
Eleanor continued. “I was just angry and said some harsh things. But no matter what, a mother would never harm favonovel.com own child. Every parent loves their children. Don’t hold a grudge against me. Isabelle. If it had been Layla in your place now, I would have protected you just the same.”
