Chapter 136 - 136: Kneel Down Before Me
At this point, Mag Evans knew that she couldn’t stop her grandmother and could only blame it on Xaviera Evans: “I’m sorry, everyone. My grandma might be a little too furious, and her words are a bit harsh. Actually, there’s a reason for all this—my sister has been disrespectful to our grandma at home, constantly talking back and cursing, saying that grandma refuses to die, so grandma becomes angry upon seeing her…”
In the past, perhaps her words would be believed by some classmates. However, now only a few believed her.
Maybe some classmates still thought Mag was kind, but that didn’t make them feel that Madame Evans was kind—the impression they had of her was that of an extremely malicious old woman.
Mag didn’t know that this farce caused her carefully crafted image of kindness and gentleness to collapse—it could be destroyed with just a slight push.
After Madame Evans and Mag left, the students in the class were still indignant. They couldn’t understand how a grandmother could be like that, speaking harshly and siding with Mag without knowing right from wrong.
“Xaviera, don’t you want to explain yourself?” A student couldn’t help but complain: “You can’t keep quiet like this forever. At least tell the truth to your family.”
Xaviera shook her head with a smile: “There’s nothing to explain. I’m used to it.”
Her simple expression of being used to it silenced all the students. They felt outraged by just experiencing this one event—what about Xaviera? The people who verbally abused her were her blood relatives. Their words felt like knives stabbing into her heart. How much pain and suffering had she endured, and how many breakdowns had she gone through before she could smile and say it’s fine, I’m used to it?
The classroom atmosphere became somewhat silent.
They seemed to understand why Xaviera left the Evans family and no longer lived there. Was that still considered a home?
Unable to stand the silence in the classroom, someone took the initiative to break the heavy atmosphere: “Where’s Jessi Whitman? She must have snuck away. Hurry and bring her back. She said she was willing to accept the consequences if she lost the bet; we can’t let her renege on her word today!” “That’s right. Hurry up and find her. She must kneel down and apologize!”
If anyone had any reluctance towards Jessi’s punishment before, at this moment, their sympathy for Xaviera overcame it. Xaviera had already experienced too much injustice. They wanted to let her feel fairness at least once.
Why should Jessi be able to force Xaviera to kneel when she won, but be let off the hook when Xaviera won? There’s no such logic in this world.
Just then, a student shouted from downstairs: “Hey, you guys better come check out the school gate. Jessi Whitman is kneeling down outside the school!”
“What?” Some students were surprised. “Did Jessi voluntarily go to kneel at the school gate?” Did Jessi have that much conscience? Many students didn’t believe that Jessi would voluntarily kneel and apologize to Xaviera.
By now, there were already classmates in contact with students at the school gate. They started a video call, and on the screen, Jessi was kneeling at the school gate, struggling. A man in a suit stood behind her, pressing her head down, causing it to hit the ground repeatedly. The phone transmitted Jessi’s panicked voice: ‘Who are you guys? On what authority are you pressing me? No, no, no, I won’t kneel to that bitch Xaviera—Ah!”
The next moment, Jessi’s head hit the ground hard.
The students in the classroom shuddered: “My god, who is ruthless enough to force Jessi to kowtow like this?”
Xaviera’s heart trembled, suddenly thinking of someone.
In the classroom, the students continued to chatter: “Which justice seeker is the one forcing Jessi to kneel and apologize? Could it be someone who secretly loves Xaviera?”
“Hahaha, I think it’s more likely that it’s another justice seeker who thinks Jessi is too shameless. After all, in this situation, Jessi is the one in the wrong.”
“So cool, it feels great. People who dare to bet but don’t dare face the consequences should be taught a lesson. Let’s see if she dares to bully Xaviera again!”
Xaviera silently thanked her classmates for believing in her, then quietly left the classroom. She sneaked out through the school’s back door and went around to the front. As expected, she saw a familiar figure before her at the school entrance.
Just ten minutes ago.
Jessi, seizing the opportunity when Madame Evans attracted everyone’s attention, quietly left the classroom to avoid being caught and needing to kowtow to the bitch, Xaviera.
But as soon as she arrived at the door, she suddenly received a call from her father, who said he was at the school gate and told Jessi to hurry out to see him. Although Jessi thought it was strange, she didn’t dare to disobey her father and hurried to the school gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she saw her father, he slapped her hard and said,
“Unfilial daughter, kneel down!”
