Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 885: My Dad is a Janitor

The office was quiet, tension lingering in the air. Aveline stood tall and poised in the center, while the teacher, Miss Hartwell, was busy apologizing to Liora's parents.

"There must be some misunderstanding. Aveline is usually very well-behaved and would never do such a thing. Besides, she and Liora have always been good friends," Miss Hartwell explained.

In her mind, Miss Hartwell had a very good impression of Aveline. Although Aveline was a little cold, her homework was always impeccably completed, and she had just scored first place in the most recent exams-by a large margin. Her performance was outstanding, and she excelled in sports as well. Students like her were the least troublesome.

By comparison, Liora, though lively and cheerful, had been caught several times playing on her phone during class, copying homework in the mornings, and forming cliques. Between the two, Miss Hartwell's instinct was to side with Aveline. However, now that Liora's parents had come to the school, she had no choice but to soothe their emotions.

"Yesterday, my child came home with her face swollen like a pig's head!" Liora's father fumed. "She had a tooth knocked out and was bleeding nonstop. When we asked her what happened, she wouldn't say a word. Her face was covered in red handprints, and we were terrified! Then my wife found her notebook, and it was full of the name 'Aveline,' written in angry, scrawled handwriting.

"Her hair was also cut off! My wife and I are absolutely against school bullying. This Aveline is so bold-she must be punished!"

Hearing the details, Miss Hartwell hesitated. The situation sounded serious. She turned to Aveline. "Aveline, is this true? Did you do it?"

"It wasn't me directly," Aveline answered calmly. "I had someone else do it."

"You-so it really was you!" Liora's father roared. "How can a child your age be this vicious? I swear I'll make you pay today!"

"Calm down! Let's hear her explanation first. I'm sure Aveline wouldn't do something like this without a reason," Miss Hartwell quickly intervened, sweat forming on her forehead. The other teachers were in class, and she was the only one here. If things got physical, she wouldn't be able to stop it.

"Liora hit me first," Aveline replied honestly.

"I knew it! Aveline wouldn't hit anyone without reason. Why don't you explain the situation? There must be a misunderstanding here."

"What misunderstanding? My daughter was beaten to a pulp, and you're still defending this girl?" Liora's father shouted, his anger growing. "I'm warning you, if I don't get a proper explanation today, I'll call the media. I'll make sure this school's bullying problem becomes national news! Your school's reputation will be ruined, and the education bureau will take notice. Think carefully about your next step!"

In the face of such threats, Miss Hartwell didn't dare take sides. She sighed and relented. "Aveline, call your parents. They need to come to school so we can resolve this."
