Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Fraser and Samantha had been putting on their little show for quite some time, but the room was dead silent, with no one paying them any,

attention.

Even Ellen, whose hand Samantha was holding in a supposedly caring manner, just let Samantha hold it, keeping her head down without saying a word.

It wasn’t that Ellen was deliberately ignoring them; she was just intimidated by Samantha’s enthusiasm and couldn’t break free from her tight grip.

The school leaders, including Landon, wanted to say something, but as soon as Fraser and Samantha entered, they went straight to Ashton without even sparing a glance at them.

Normally, when they came to the school, the school leaders would at least put on a polite smile and exchange pleasantries. Today, however, they completely ignored the school leaders. It was so awkward that Landon and the others didn’t even know how to defuse the situation.

Liora, standing to the side, was so embarrassed she felt like she had social anxiety. She muttered under her breath, “Dad, Mom.”

Samantha reluctantly let go of Ellen’s hand. “I got a bit too excited when I heard Liora had a conflict with a classmate at school. I apologize for making a scene in front of everyone.”

Fraser pulled Samantha down to sit and finally realized that the atmosphere was too tense. It seemed that this matter wouldn’t be easily resolved today.

“Miss,” Fraser said, turning to Briar with his usual smile, “I’m curious, what do you plan to do about this little spat between Liora and Ellen?” He emphasized the words little spat.

“We’ve come here, of course, to make amends. You and Ellen can both rest assured of that,” Fraser continued.

Samantha nodded in agreement. “Yes, if it’s Liora’s fault, we’ll compensate financially and apologize as needed. We won’t shirk our responsibility.”

Briar’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile as she watched the overly dramatic couple. “No rush. We’re still waiting for others to arrive. Let’s talk

once everyone’s here.”

As she spoke, Briar took out a wet wipe and handed it to Ellen, signaling her to clean her hand. This blatant display of disdain almost made

Samantha’s smile falter.

‘What does she mean? Is she implying that my hands are dirty?‘ Samantha wondered. ‘Ellen is just a poor student. I haven’t minded touching her, yet here they think my hands are dirty? And what did she mean by?

‘What’s there left to discuss? It’s just a matter of having Liora apologize to Ellen and offering some money as compensation for medical expenses and emotional distress.‘

They had even brought their checkbook, ready to write a check for 30 thousand dollars.

If it weren’t for Ashton’s presence, and the need to avoid giving him the impression that the Winters family was stingy and unreasonable, they would have offered no more than a few thousand dollars at most.

To a poor student like Ellen, 30 thousand dollars would be a fortune. She would be grateful and thank them profusely. ? was enough to cover her college tuition and more.

“Do you two have any objections?” Brjar looked at Fraser and Samantha, her gaze piercing.
