Chapter 50 Fallen Leaves, Broken Ties Scarlet paused for a moment before finally managing to say, âI wasnât protecting her before. Itâs just that sheâs inherently bad, even poisoning her own family!â
Thomas wanted to say something more, but she impatiently interrupted him. âEnough, Sir. Since this matter has nothing to do with Samuel, I wonât interfere. As for Angela, she can be whoeverâs child she wants to be. From now on, sheâs not part of the Kins Family. Iâve been feeding an ungrateful wretch. If she gets into trouble at school in the future, just call Mr. Lawson. Donât come to our family.â
With that, she grabbed the stillâdazed Samuel and headed out.
Watching their retreating figures, Thomas sighed at her lack of maternal instincts. He quickly pushed the matter to the back of his mind and hurried to find out who Jonathan was.
If Angela was expelled, how could David possibly donate to the teaching building? And Jonathan certainly wouldnât care about this.
He was truly heartbroken.
What a mess!
Unaware that she was being cursed by Thomas, Scarlet left the office in a hurry. âI donât know if Fanny has finished the competition. If Angela really affected Fannyâs competition, I wonât let her off.â
Samuel, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, âMom, did our family ever support Angela âbefore?â
Scarlet frowned but couldnât help but think back. In the years of raising Angela, she really couldnât remember anything.
In the end, she could only say dismissively. âI donât know. She didnât cause any trouble before, and she was introverted and didnât like to talk. Probably not. Why are you suddenly asking about her?â
Samuel was silent for a moment, then shook his head. âItâs nothing. Letâs go find Fanny.â
Walking with Scarlet through the school, Samuel kept his head down, looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, one after another.
He rarely paid attention to fallen leaves before.
They were just leaves, nothing special, and not eyeâcatching.
But today, he discovered that the ginkgo leaves scattered all over the ground were actually quite beautiful, even stunning. Itâs just that fallen leaves canât speak. Even when they fall on the ground, their voices are soft, and he hadnât noticed before.
But the beauty of fallen leaves doesnât depend on his gaze. They were inherently beautiful.
Samuel looked up and saw Fanny running towards them, but he couldnât help but think of Angela.
She had originally planned to block the slap for Stella, but after hearing Scarlet mention Uncle Donaldâs family, she put her hand down.
1/3 Scarlet did not protect her but tore down the house she had built herself, leaving her to face the storm with her weak body.
Fanny arrived and suddenly stepped on a fallen leaf. The sound of it shattering startled Samuel, and he suddenly came to his senses.
The falien leaves on the ground were crushed.
âSamuel, whatâs wrong?â Fanny looked worried.
Samuelâs heart softened after seeing Fanny, and he shook his head to say he was fine. Looking at the fallen leaf, he felt a sense of lost.
Scarlet took Fannyâs hand. âFanny, how was your competition?â
Fanny hesitated, then said, âMom, I didnât perform well. Itâs all my fault. Iâm wasting the money James gave me. Thereâs a better competitor in our department, Jessica Turner. Sheâs Angelaâs best friend and the one Angela gave the spot to.â
Scarlet was displeased. âIn that case, tell Angela to have her friend withdraw from the competition. That spot was originally yours, and she agreed to give it to you. You didnât agree to give it to someone else, so it shouldnât count.â
Samuel frowned slightly at her words.
âMom, Angela definitely wonât agree. She also wants Jessica to win. Fanny sighed softly. âBefore the competition, Angela brought Jessica to see me and Stella, saying that we drugged Jessicaâs water. I donât know what she misunderstood, but she definitely dislikes me more now.â
Upon hearing this, Scarlet was livid. âFanny, I already know about this. It was indeed Stella who spiked the water, and Angela wanted to Frame you as well. But it has nothing to do with you. You donât need to worry. Stella has been expelled, and you should avoid associating with her in the future.â
âStella was expelled?â Fannyâs eyes widened in disbelief.
âYes, itâs all because Jonathan helped Angela. I donât know what heâs thinking, always defending Angela. Well, donât worry about it. Itâs fine if you donât win first prize, second prize is also good. Weâre planning a celebration party for you at home. Weâve already bought the food.â
Before Scarlet could finish, Samuel, with his keen senses, caught on to something. He stared intently at Fanny and asked, âFanny, arenât you surprised that Stella actually spiked the water?â
Fanny blinked, seemingly not understanding why he would ask such a question and looked a bit hurt. âOh, I forgot. I was too upset when I heard that Stella was expelled. Samuel, whatâs wrong?â
Scarlet also found Fannyâs reactionystrange and couldnât help scolding, âSamuel, why are you speaking to your sister like that?â
âItâs nothing.â Samuel shook his head, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.
Fanny didnât seem surprised that Stella had spiked the water, but only surprised that she was expelled.
Thinking about this, Samuel couldnât help but recall that when the banner fell, Stella and Fanny were both present, and the rope seemed to have been untied by someone.
2/3 O 16:03 Wed, 28 Feb G G GG Chapter 50 Fallen Leaves, Broken Ties Why Angela stop questioning Stella after just one question?
+15 5 Free Coins Why didnât she ask if anyone saw Fanny untie the rope?
Doesnât she like Fanny? With such an opportunity, why didnât she continue questioning?
Samuci was filled with confusion, feeling as if a veil had been cast over his face, obstructing his vision. He was clearly close to the truth, but he couldnât see it clearly.
Secing that he didnât ask anything further, Scarlet and Fanny quickly changed the subject.
Soon, they arrived at the venue for the Brundelian speech competition. All the contestants had finished their speeches, and it was time to announce the results.
A moment later, a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes took the stage, speaking passionately in Brundelian.
As he finished his sentence, those in the audience who understood Brundelian erupted in excitement.
âMr. Jone mentioned that the winner of the first prize will have the opportunity to study in Veridia as an exchange student. All the tuition fees will be covered.â Someone nearby who understood translated for others, their faces filled with excitement.
Studying abroad holds great value in todayâs world, but not everyone has the chance. The school may only offer one or two spots each year, and the tuition fees are unaffordable.
However, now there are available spots and covered tuition fees. Itâs such a wonderful opportunity that anyone would desire.
