Tered, thooked at Hera with worry. Seeing Her was fine, she turned to beg Jenes for mercy. “James, calm down. Let’s talk things out. Please don’t beat Hera “oet out of my way! I need to teach her a lesson to let her know I’m her father!” After kicking Lilith away, James grabbed the prepared whip and whipped the carpet before

Glancing at Lith, who was kicked away and ended up hitting the coffee table’s edge, Hera frowned slightly.

“Bad, please calm down.” Giselle stepped forward to comfort James

Then, she turned to advise Hera earnestly, “Hera, just kneel down and apologize to Dad. I believe you didn’t skip the exam on purpose. Explain it to Dad. He forgive you.”

“Who said I stopped the exam?” He asked in an indifferent tone. Her cold eyes swept across James face before falling on Giselle’s

Faced with Hera’s chilly pressure, Giselle telt Inexplicably culty

The then she reminded herself that Hera was just a country bumpkin. What was there to fear about her? she had to be pretending!

“if you didn’t skip the exam, why did you hang up and turn off the phone? And you went missing all afternoon!”

Recalling Hera hanging up on him in the moming James angrily raised the whip and fling it toward her.

When Hera was about to catch the whip with her hand, Lilith suddenly pounced on her, taking the whipping for her.

Lilith grimaced in pain but didn’t groan. Instead, she asked with concern, “Hera, ace you okay?”

Hera helped Lith, who was unsteady on her feet, She somehow felt touched.

Since Daphne passed away, she had shut herself off from the world. Except for Catherine, no one had ever protected her like this.

“James, please don’t hit Hera. Hit me if you want,” Lilith pleaded with James, protecting Hera behind her.

James didn’t expect Lilith to take the whipping for Hera. For a moment, he regretted having sing the whip.

But he would lose his authority as the head of the family if he didn’t teach Hera a lesson today. “Move! Or I’ll hit you too!” he snapped.

Giselle didn’t expect Lilith to be so protective of Hers. She felt extremely jealous.

Although Lilith had a humble states in the Everett Lamily, she was nevertheless the lady of the family Giselle couldn’t accept any of the Everetts being kind to Hera, because all this originally belonged to her

“Now that things have come to this, Hera, stop lying.” Giselle advised with a kind look

“Ms. Miller contacted Dad because she didn’t find you in the hall. This matter is now spreading wildly on the academy terum. It affect our family’s reputation. You’d better explain the situation honestly so that Dad can figure out how to deal with it.”

On the surface, elle seemed to be persuading Hera. But in fact, she kept reminding James that the news about Hera skipping the exam had gone viral on venidge’s forum, and everybody was criticizing Hera and the Everetts.

If this went on, everyone in Norburgh would know by tomorrow that the adopted daughter of the Everett Family, Hera, skipped the entrance exam.

James cared about reputation. He couldn’t tolerate anyone disgracing the Everett family.

“I think you just want to embarrass our family!” mes raised the whip again.

Lith wanted to protect Herabut was stopped by her.

Hera grabbed the whip swinging down with her left hand. “Once the results are released tomorrow, the rumors will naturally disappear.”

“It’s easy for you to say that now! Why did you skip the exam earlier?” James snapped. “Come with me to venridge tomorrow morning and apologize to the academy”

Hera was at a loss for words. How many times did she have to tell them she didn’t skip the exam?

James turned to Giselle and said gently, “Giselle, ask Mr. Gaskell to help us request ovenrider’s FR department to delese those posts!

Zyler Gaskell was Giselle’s fiance. Because his mother was from abranch of the Kilian family, the Gaskell family had a certain status in Marburgh.

Therefore, the academy’s PR department shouldn’torfuse if 2 yder interceded for them

“Okay, Dad.” Despite her obedient look, Giselle was grinning slyly in secret.

Hera would never have an easy life in Norburgh uner her reputation was ruined for the sake of their reputation, the Everett family wouldn’t support her even though she was the real daughter.

Early the next morning, James, led by Giselle, arrived at the Dean of Students‘ office

Robert and Melanie were already waiting inside.

**Mr. Larkin, nice to meet you.” James went up to shake hands with a warm smile.

“Hello.” Robert shook hands with him amiably. “You’re Giselle’s father. So you’re also Hera’s dian?”

James understood as soon as he heard this. Zyler had to have arranged it

With his other hand, James took out an mvelope from his trousers pocket and stuffed it into Robert’s hand. “Mr. Larkin, I’m sorry. My ignorant adopted daughter has brought uinenessary trouble to the academy. Please forgive her.”

James‘ face suddenly flushed. He cared about dignity the most. At this moment, he seemed to have been slapped hard in the face.

He turned to Giselle with reproach and anger in his eyes. Didn’t Zyler make the arrangement?

Giselle was terrified Why did things tum out differently from what they were supposed to?

“It’s so livelliere!” M this time, Hera walked in calmly.
