She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 80

The girls across the room averted their eyes, each one stubbornly refusing to apologize.

Lacy’s mother snapped, her voice sharp and commanding, “What are you waiting for? Apologize. Now!”

As the queen bee of her clique, Lacy had always been on the receiving end of apologies—never the one to give them.

It hadn’t even been her who threw the punch; Sabrina was the one who’d gotten hurt.

And now she was supposed to apologize? Not a chance.

Lacy shot back instantly, “I nearly got my face wrecked, and I’m the one who has to apologize? Are you kidding me?”

She couldn’t understand why her own mother was taking the other girl’s side.

Her mother scowled. “You think you’re in the right? You said those nasty things—did you think anyone would just sit there and take it? If someone talked about you that way, would you?”

Lacy was momentarily stunned into silence.

If anyone had said things like that about her, she’d have pounded them, no question.

But facing Sabrina, she still refused to back down.

As far as she was concerned, all those rumors about Sabrina were true; everyone at school knew it, and the stories were all over the news online.

She’d only spoken the truth. How could that be wrong?

But under her mother’s fierce glare, Lacy finally gave in.

She walked over to Sabrina and muttered an apology, stiff and reluctant.

The other girls, though clearly seething inside, shuffled forward one by one and mumbled their own forced apologies.

The parents followed suit, approaching Samuel to offer their apologies as well.

Samuel’s expression didn’t soften for a second.

He stared them down, cold and unreadable.

After what they’d done to his niece, he found it laughable that they thought a quick “I’m sorry” could fix everything.

These kids were out of control. If someone didn’t put them in their place, they’d never learn respect.

He knew one thing for sure: if it had been up to him, he wouldn’t have let them off so easily.

There’s a saying—“Good people get taken advantage of.”

But did good deeds ever really get rewarded?

Not always.

Show a hint of weakness, and people will walk all over you. Bullies always prey on the vulnerable.

“How is Samuel connected to the Sutton family? He’s Sabrina’s uncle?”

“That’s what I was wondering! Isn’t Mrs. Sutton’s brother’s last name Lynn? I’ve met him before, and it definitely wasn’t Samuel.”

“So what’s going on? There’s no way someone like Samuel is faking his identity.”

“Who knows—maybe they’re just distant relatives we haven’t heard about.”

“Whatever the case, I’m giving my son a serious talking-to when we get home. We got lucky Samuel didn’t push things further, or we’d be in real trouble.”

News about Sabrina’s fight had spread through the whole school.

Everyone was waiting for the fallout—expecting her to be ganged up on by other parents, maybe even expelled in disgrace.

Her fate seemed sealed.

No one could have predicted what really happened.

Sabrina didn’t apologize. She walked away unscathed.

Astonishingly, it was the so-called victims who ended up apologizing to her, one after another.

The bully had become the one who received all the apologies.
