“I told you long ago we shouldn’t have brought that burden back with us; you didn’t listen! Now look–she’s bullying our daughter! Happy now?”

“That was years ago; why are you still bringing it up? Can’t you let it go?”

“How can I let it go? Look at what she’s done since starting high school! She’s humiliated our daughter and disgraced our family!”

Their voices weren’t very loud, but Naomi had already caught the key points. Wait, could it be, Eliza isn’t really my sister?

Thinking back, it all started to make sense. Her parents had always been cold toward Eliza; even when Naomi got into trouble as a child, it was Eliza who was punished. So that’s why…

The next morning at school, Evelyn showed up bright and early, dragging Naomi along.

Seeing Evelyn arrive again, the students gave her a wide berth.

The last time Naomi’s mother came to school, she’d caused a huge scene with the teachers.

And now she was back.

No one knew what this visit was about. Students from other classes stood in the hallway, watching curiously.

Evelyn shoved open the door to Class 6.

Inside, Henry had been horsing around with Colton; when he turned and saw Evelyn and Naomi, his face changed.

“Who are you looking for?”

Henry’s tone was unfriendly.

They had all seen how Evelyn had treated Eliza before.

re’s Eliza? Where is she?”

Henry frowned. “Eliza’s on cleaning duty; she went to fetch water. What do you want?”

He made no effort to be polite.

Evelyn looked Henry up and down. “I remember–you’re pretty close to Eliza, aren’t you? I get it; you’re teenagers. It’s normal to have crushes, but don’t drag my daughter down with you! No matter what, Eliza is still a Qiao; she extoried 400 dollars from her own sister. I’m here today to get to the bottom of this!”

Hearing that Eliza had supposedly extorted Naomi for 400 dollars, the students in the hallway crowded closer, eager to watch the drama unfold.

Naomi squirmed in her seat; she just wanted to run. may have fooled Mom, but the teachers aren’t idiots! I deliberately destroyed someone else’s property. If Eliza posts that video, the teachers will hate me for sure!

“Mom, don’t do this… didn’t we agree to keep it civil? Now everyone knows–this is going to look really bad!”

Naomi was panicking; she wanted to drag her mother away before Eliza returned.

The last thing she wanted was for things to blow up.

Evelyn sat down arrogantly on a nearby chair. “I’ll wait right here for Eliza to come back! Let’s see what she has to say.”

Henry’s face darkened. “Are you kidding me? We’re about to start our morning class! You’re disrupting us!”

“Oh, please–does Class 6 even bother with classes? I heard you’re like free–range ducks; you just run around during lessons.”

Her words were harsh; she had always looked down on the students of Class 6 and had no intention of being polite.

“Who are you calling ducks?”

Henry had a quick temper; he charged forward, ready to fight Evelyn.

But Evelyn wasn’t afraid; she stood up and slapped Henry across the face.

The entire classroom fell silent.

Evelyn said coldly, “Whose child are you? So rude and uncivilized! If your parents can’t teach you properly, I’ll do it for them–before you end up as a disgrace to society.”

“Mom…”

Naomi’s face had gone pale with fear.
