The classmate was taken aback when she saw the
situation in the ward.
Then she stopped in her tracks, staring in disbelief at the scene before her. Her gaze swept over Lady
Gill, Austin, and the others before finally landing on Nara, who was kneeling on the ground. She asked
with confusion, “Nara, what’s going on?”
Nara shook her head, then reached out with her uninjured hand.
Hesitant, the classmate took out Nara’s phone. She looked at Nara as if she had seen the plague,
tossed the phone into Nara’s hand, and ran off. Soon after, another classmate’s voice ca from
outside. “What happened? You look so shaken…”
“Shhh, it seems like Nara has offended so big shot…”
Then, there was no more sound from outside, only the footsteps of those classmates sneaking away.
Nara gave a bitter smile.
She knew that after today, her classmates would
surely avoid her like the plague.
She lowered her gaze.
Austin then said, “Nara, see? Everyone knows we are. important people. How could you be so blind as
to provoke us? Do you think just because you’re with Keera, you can do as you please in Clance? Let
tell you, the Gill family is not soone you can affront so
easily!”
He left that remark hanging and continued. “You keep kowtowing. After ten tis, I promise I won’t
cause
trouble for Matias!”
Keira rebuked angrily, “Austin, that’s enough! Are you treating Nara like this just because of ?”
“Yes, I am taking it out on her because of you, so
what?”
Austin admitted outright. “You’re an Olsen family mber, so I can’t touch you, but I can do whatever I
want to her and her brother, those two lackeys! Nara, are you going to kowtow or not? You still owe us
eight!”
Keira clenched her fists and stepped forward, grabbing stin by the collar. “Do vou think I wouldn’t dare
to
hit you?”
“Miss Olsen, do you think I’m just a fixture here?”
Lady Gill shouted angrily, “If you dare to touch a hair. on my son, I’ll imdiately get back at the Olsen
family. The Gill family would do everything to get it even!”
Keira tightened her fingers and let out a cold laugh. “Let’s try it, then!”
But the next mont, her trouser leg was tugged.
Keira turned around and saw Nara looking up at her with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Those eyes seed to say, “Please don’t get involved in my affairs…”
Keira paused slightly.
Back in Oceanion, she had worked part-ti to pay for her tuition, and she understood the
helplessness of
minor characters and insignificant roles.
Nara and Matias were caught up in the two families’ affairs…
To them, this was indeed an undeserved calamity.
But the Gill family wouldn’t see it that way. If they
didn’t vent their anger today, they would continue to cause trouble for them in the future.
Matias and Nara didn’t want to be the canaries
protected by the Olsen family; they wanted to be free.
The only option was to extricate themselves from this
situation.
Keira saw the aning in the depths of Nara’s eyes and clenched her fists tightly with a sense of
powerless
rage.
If only she or the Olsen family were more powerful, and they could make the Gill family listen to them
and give an order that would make the Gill family not dare touch the siblings, perhaps today’s troubles
wouldn’t
exist.
Keira felt a pang of self-reproach and then slowly turned to Austin. “Can you promise that you’ll no
longer ss with them after this?”
Austin looked down. “My reputation in Clance isn’t the best, but there’s one thing I’m known for, and
that is keeping my word! As long as today, she gives our family a chance to vent our anger, I won’t
trouble
them again!”
Keira turned back to Nara.
She saw a hint of gratitude in Nara’s eyes, and then
Nara gently shook her head.
Keira understood her choice.
Nara wanted peace.
Keira tightened her jaw, feeling humiliated, and released Austin’s collar. Then she slowly stepped back.
Nara nodded to her in appreciation.
Then she turned her gaze back to Jackson.
Jackson sneered coldly, his eyes sinister as he watched her, his sight again scanning over Austin and
Lady
Gill…
Then ca the sound of Nara’s forehead hitting the floor with a “bang” once more.
“The third one!”
Keira reminded them.
“Bang!”
The fourth one!”
Keira’s voice was trembling.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…”
Nara didn’t want to slowly accept the humiliation anymore. Her forehead forcefully knocked on the floor,
making a muffled sound.
The floor where her forehead landed was already
stained with blood.
Keira couldn’t even count how many tis Nara had kowtowed; she imdiately steadied Nara,
“Enough!”
“One more to go.”
Jackson said aggressively.
Austin found it unbearable to watch, but hearing Jackson’s words, he understood that his brother hadn’t
vented his anger yet, so he arrogantly said, “Yes, one
more!”
Keira’s eyes were red with anger, “Look at the state she’s in!”
“But still, there’s only nine!”
Jackson arrogantly declared, “If it’s anything less than ten, today’s matter won’t be settled!”
Keira wanted to speak again, but Nara once again
buried her head. “Bang!”
She knocked her head until she was dizzy and bleary-eyed, her forehead already swollen and
bleeding. Everything in front of her seed sowhat
blurry.
“We’re done!”
Keira shouted sternly and then helped Nara up.
Staggering, Nara was assisted to her feet by Keira, who then looked toward Austin.
Keira caught on to her intention and imdiately said, “Is it enough now? Austin, you promise you
won’t harass her and her brother again!”
Austin t Nara’s persistent gaze.
For so reason, Austin felt reminded of his sister.
He pursed his lips, about to nod, when he heard Jackson’s sarcastic remark. “Today’s incident might be
settled, but that doesn’t an I’ve forgotten about the past!”
That remark caused Keira’s pupils to shrink, her gaze
ing toward him.
Jackson watched them with a sinister gleam, “For the matters of the past, I won’t let it drop!”
With these words, a burst of hatred and irritation
suddenly surged from Nara’s eyes. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “You…bastard!”
“Bastard? I am a bastard. What can you do about it?
Hahaha!”
Keira imdiately looked at Austin. “Didn’t we just agree on that? Doesn’t the word of the Gill family
count for anything?”
Jackson, in his psychological perversion, shouted, “Austin was the one who gave you the promise, not
! Austin won’t bother you anymore, but I never said I
wouldn’t!”
Austin furrowed his brow.
Nara stared at him intently…you…just…didn’t you…”
She wanted to say, “That wasn’t what you said earlier,” but she couldn’t finish her sentence.
Austin’s brow creased with a rising irritation, and he waved it off. “I have things to do. I’m busy looking
for my sister. I don’t have ti to waste here with you!”
That statent shattered all of Nara’s illusions.
She thought that the words of wealthy people counted for sothing, but she hadn’t expected them to
be so
shaless!
Her head spun, and her steps faltered.
Just as she was about to say sothing, Keira steadied her by the waist. “Nara, I’ll take you ho.”
Nara gave a bitter smile and followed Keira slowly
toward the door.
Austin picked up his phone and tried his sister’s number again…
anwhile, the phone that Nara had just picked up started vibrating madly in her hands, and she
looked down. Seeing the caller ID, she abruptly turned her gaze toward Austin.
