Chapter 179 Exposed
“I didn’t get a punishment either.”
“What?” Naomi’s voice cracked in disbelief.
Christian had promised her. He swore Eliza would be punished. Expelled even!
“Then what were you doing in the principal’s office just now?” Naomi demanded.
“That’s not your concern,” Eliza replied coolly.
Finished
Every word stabbed deeper into Naomi’s pride. Teeth clenched, she turned to her bodyguards. “You! Hit her! Hit her mouth!”
The guards exchanged uneasy glances.
Christian’s orders from earlier rang in their minds–no trouble on campus.
One of them spoke up. “Miss, class is about to start. Mr. Christian instructed us to make sure you focus on your studies and don’t stir up trouble.”
“I’m the Sue family’s Ms. Cassandra! Christian said even if I poked a hole through the sky, I wouldn’t be punished!”
So much for being Ms. Cassandra.
Christian clearly wasn’t planning on avenging her at all.
“Fine! If you won’t do it, then I will!”
Naomi shot to her feet and marched toward Eliza.
Just as she was about to reach her, the homeroom teacher stepped out from the hallway.
“Naomi, what do you think you’re doing?”
His tone was noticeably different from the previous day.
Naomi didn’t care. She was the Sue family’s Ms. Cassandra now–Christian would cover for anything she did.
“She probably doesn’t like me,” Eliza said evenly, “so she wants to hit me.”
The teacher frowned. “Naomi, this is a school, not your personal playground. Sit down, now.”
Seeing the teacher’s complete indifference to her identity, Naomi had no choice but to bite her tongue and
return to her seat.
Teachers? They meant nothing. She was a Sue now–Christian would take care of her.
Eliza chuckled quietly. Naomi still didn’t know her lies had been uncovered.

Finished
By noon, Christian received the completed DNA results.
He tore open the envelope eagerly, scanning the paper inside.
Just as he suspected–he and Eliza were blood–related.
Then he glanced at Naomi’s results.
No match.
His face darkened instantly.
“That old bastard really dared lie to me!”
He flung the papers to the floor, fuming. A bodyguard scrambled to pick them up.
Ding–ding-
His phone rang. Still seething, Christian answered it without checking the caller ID.
“Send someone to meet me at the gate,” said a cold voice on the other end.
“…Ronaldo?”
Christian blinked. “What are you doing here?”
“To deal with your stupidity,” Ronaldo replied icily. “You misidentified our sister. Are you brain–dead?”
“I didn’t mean to-”
“Get out here. Now.”
The call cut off. Christian winced. The Rivers family had really screwed him over.
Grabbing his phone, he rushed out of the building.
Outside the school gates, Ronaldo stepped out of a car, emanating danger.
Unlike Christian’s flamboyance, Ronaldo carried real weight. In the overseas world, his name made entire industries shake.
Even the principal held his breath, afraid to make a sound.
“Ronaldo, I already told you I found our sister. Everything’s under control.”
“You call this under control?”
Ronaldo shoved a firm hand against the back of Christian’s neck. “You let the Rivers family con you. that’s your idea of a job well done?”
