“But, you didn’t understand the situation before you accused Janet of plagiarism. That’s not right either…”
“Why isn’t that right? If she hadn’t kept it a secret, would I have reported it? All she can do is blame herself for hiding it like a liar.” Hazel was agitated that she nearly exposed the fact that Janet was a quack divine doctor. She knew this was not the time yet!
“How… How can you be like this?” The crowd looked at her in disappointment. They weren’t expecting the young lady of Yobril’s National Council to say something like that.
“It’s not your turn to order me what to do. If anyone dares to tell me what to do, I’ll tell my brother.” Hazel crossed her arms across her chest. The way she broke out in fury was ridiculous.
“You…” The crowd felt that they really couldn’t communicate with her, so they could only return to their seats.
Hazel stared at their backs, and she couldn’t stop nagging, “All of you are lackeys of a liar!” They are as blind as a bat. How can they still stand up for Janet in such a situation? With her arms still folded across her chest, she got angrier the more she thought about Janet. In the end, she simply took out her phone and called Sheldon.
The call was finally connected after ringing for a long time. “Hello.” A low, steady voice rose from the other side of the line.
The moment Hazel heard the voice, she was overwhelmed by aggrievedness, and she couldn’t speak. Her tears kept running down her cheeks. “S-Sheldon. Sheldon, I can’t stay in Sandfort City any longer. The students at Woodsbury University are trash. All of them only stood up for Janet Jackson and no one cared about my feelings.”
Hazel thought her hysterical complaints would trigger her brother’s sympathy, but the man on the other end simply demanded in his low and cold voice, “I know what you did in Woodsbury University, and I need you to apologize to Janet Jackson now!” Although what Hazel did had not caused too much of an impact on the Fuller Family, however, she had offended Janet, the one who had saved their father. Sheldon knew better than to bite the hand that feeds them.
As soon as Hazel heard her brother, she nearly cried out at his words. Immediately, she screamed, “Sheldon, even you’re protecting Janet Jackson too? You don’t know what her lackeys say about me.” She rubbed her eyes and felt terribly wronged.
“I’m not defending her.” Sheldon remained indifferent. “But, you have to apologize when you’ve done something wrong. By the way, the World Piano Competition is around the corner. Hilbert said you have to come back next Saturday to participate!” Before today, Sheldon could put up with all the troubles she caused, even when she gave up her piano to go to Sandfort City. However, if what she did was going to ruin the Fuller Family’s reputation, he would never sit back and do nothing.
When Hazel heard the two words ‘Piano Competition’, she immediately set aside her dissatisfaction and wiped her tears. “I got it.” Then, she ended the call immediately. She didn’t agree with what her brother said, but she couldn’t afford to let him down. If he was disappointed in her, she wouldn’t be able to come back to Woodsbury University after the piano competition to expose Janet as a liar. Gripping her arm tightly with her other hand, she bit her lip fiercely. All the compromises she was making and the grievances she was suffering were to make sure that she could send Janet to prison one day by her own hands. For that reason, she could only reluctantly send Janet a message on Messenger. ‘I’m sorry.’ However, this was an apology Janet owed her, and she would get it back from her one day!
Meanwhile, a phone in a black Maybach chimed. The tone pulled Janet back from her thoughts. Her gaze fell on the glowing screen, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but raise upward as she let out a sneer.
