“That’s impossible! My daughter has always been well–behaved, gracious and polite; how could she possibly bully anyone? Who did she bully? Zayden, tell us!”
Evelyn refused to believe that her daughter would bully a classmate. Nathan frowned as well; he turned to Naomi and asked, “Naomi, is this true? How could you bully a classmate?”
“Mom, dad, it’s not like that, I…”
Naomi didn’t know how to explain; she could only look at Zayden with pleading eyes. What’s wrong with Zayden today? Why would he say something like this to my parents?
“Sir, miss, who she bullied isn’t the point; but her grades have been slipping. The teachers have said that if she keeps this up, she’ll be moved to a different class. I just hope she focuses on her studies instead of forming cliques to bully others.”
“Zayden! How could you…”
“Naomi!”
Evelyn, for once, looked stern. “I told you to study hard at school; what have you been doing?”
Seeing her mother glaring at her, Naomi quickly said, “Mom! It’s not what you think-”
“Madam, sir, I have other matters to attend to; I’ll take my leave.”
Zayden didn’t want to get too involved in their family affairs. He had come tonight simply to urge Nathan and Evelyn to teach Naomi properly.
She needed to stop lying all the time.
“Zayden! You can’t leave! You have to explain!”
Naomi rushed to block his way.
He had just accused her to her parents; if he left without clearing it up, she wouldn’t have a moment’s peace
“I’ve made myself very clear.”
Zayden’s voice was cold.
Everything Naomi had done to Eliza–each offense was enough to make anyone shudder.
He had never imagined that Naomi/was this kind of girl.
With a flick of his sleeve, Zayden left.
Evelyn immediately grabbed Naomi’s arm and dragged her into the living room. “Naomi! What is going on? He came here to accuse you himself! What did you do? You’re embarrassing your father and me!”
Mom. I didn’t mean to…”

Naomi said pitifully, “I didn’t do it on purpose; and I’ve already paid compensation–I paid 400 dollars! Isn’t that enough?”
“What? You paid 400 dollars?“.
Evelyn’s face darkened. “What exactly did you break that cost that much?”
For a high school student, 400 was a hefty sum.
If the Rivers family hadn’t always given Naomi a generous allowance, she probably wouldn’t have been able to come up with that kind of money so quickly.
“I broke an electronic keyboard.”
Naomi lowered her head. “It was my sister. She insisted on performing piano at the event, just like me. I was afraid she’d embarrass the Rivers family, so I did it too. But then she extorted me–she said if I didn’t pay up, she’d post the video of me destroying the keyboard online and call the police… I was scared…”
“You’re saying Eliza?”
Evelyn was stunned.
She had never imagined that Eliza would do something like that.
“That Eliza–what is she thinking? Naomi is her sister! And she’s extorting her own sister?”
Evelyn said furiously, “Come on; we’re going to school–I want to see what she’s trying to pull!”
“Mom! We can’t; it’s so late! And I really did break her keyboard; if this blows up, it won’t be good for me.”
“You broke her keyboard to spare the Rivers family embarrassment! So what? But her–she doesn’t know her place! Extorting her own sister over a keyboard–how shameless!”
As she spoke, Evelyn grabbed Naomi, intent on dragging her to the school.
Seeing how angry Evelyn was, Nathan stepped in to stop her. “Enough–it’s too late to go now; if you must, go tomorrow.”
