“Don’t worry, I won’t let Robert bully Jenarth as long as I’m here,” Arthur declared, pulling Jennifer closer in a comforting embrace. “Robert, apologize to Jenarth right now for what you just said!”

“Teh! Who do you think you are? Stay out of this!” Robert shot Arthur a look of pure contempt before turning to Amy. “Amy, can you get my water cup for me?”

Amy nodded immediately. “Of course, Robert!”

She scanned the area and quickly spotted the cup placed behind Tracy, which was being used as “evidence“. The teacher had confiscated it right after the incident, intending to hand it over to the medical staff.

Amy hurried over, retrieved the cup, and brought it to Robert, looking puzzled. “Robert, why do you need this?”

A sly grin spread across Robert’s face as he took the cup, his eyes locking onto Jenarth. “Because… I’m about to recreate the scene of the crime!”

Jenarth’s face went pale the moment he heard those words. He instinctively tried to back away, but Robert seemed to predict his move. In a flash, Robert grabbed him by the collar.

“Mom-” Jenarth barely managed to cry out before Robert yanked him forward with surprising strength.

Stumbling off–balance, Jenarth crashed into Robert. He tried desperately to escape, but it was too late- Robert was far quicker. In the next instant, Robert had him by the scruff of his neck, shoving the water cup toward his face with his other hand.

“You claimed there were egg bits in my cup, right? Well then, let’s give everyone a real show! Let’s see that allergic reaction!” Robert declared, tilting the cup and forcing the water down Jenarth’s throat.

“Jenarth!” Jennifer had been putting on a performance of her own, melting into Arthur’s arms to show Chloe -and everyone else–just how much Arthur cared for her.

She’d been basking in Arthur’s attention, his arm securely around her waist.

When she heard Jenarth’s panicked cry and tried to intervene, it was already too late. Robert moved with blinding speed.

Jenarth began to struggle violently, flailing his arms to hit Robert and push him away, but Robert dodged every swing with effortless case.

Growing desperate, Jenarth threw a wild punch aimed directly at Robert’s chest. A direct hit would have

been serious.

But Robert saw it coming. He released his grip and stepped back smoothly, putting space between them.

Jenarth’s punch hit nothing but air. He stood there, looking utterly defeated. He wanted to lunge at Robert again, but then a horrifying realization dawned on him–he’d been tricked.

He froze, his eyes fixed on the water splashed across the ground. It was clear and clean, nothing like water that had been mixed with egg bits.

Just moments ago, Robert had forced him to drink more than half of the water. And now Jenarth was just standing there… perfectly fine. In fact, his frantic struggling and that wild punch didn’t look anything like someone who was weak or needed medical help.

Jenarth stood rigid, his mind racing to find some way to explain this away.

Robert shook the now–empty cup, a satisfied smirk on his face when he confirmed it was dry.

“Wow, your acting is terrible. You should be gasping for air right now! Breaking out in hives! Having a full- blown medical emergency!” Robert shrugged mockingly. “I mean, you said there was egg in my cup and that you’re deathly allergic!”

Jenarth was stunned.

“But here you are, standing around like nothing’s wrong. Did you somehow drink all the ‘egg bits‘ in my cup?” Robert’s smile vanished, replaced by a cold, hard stare. “Well, Jenarth? What’s your excuse now?”

Jenarth didn’t answer. He just glared at Robert, pure hatred burning in his eyes.

The people gathered around were stunned into silence by Robert’s mocking words and the scene they had just witnessed. Robert’s speed had been shocking. And Jenarth–who had been playing the weak, fainting victim in his mother’s arms–had suddenly possessed enough strength to throw a real punch?
