Chapter 892: Hold Your Whole Family Accountable

Lee hadn't expected this girl to be so perceptive, immediately linking the situation to someone tattling.

"Tattling? What tattling? Everyone saw Orion carrying you yesterday," he replied defensively.

"What about the other thing? That was a long time ago. If you really wanted to confront me, you would've done it back then. Why wait until today?" Aveline pressed, her sharp gaze catching the flicker of guilt in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Julian and Aurora were focused on something else entirely.

"Aveline," Julian asked, "wasn't it sports day yesterday? Why was Orion carrying you?"

"Mr. Barnet, Mrs. Barnet," Orion explained, stepping forward, "someone put a thumbtack in Aveline's shoe, and it injured her foot."

"What?!" Julian's face darkened, his anger flaring instantly. "Let me see your foot."

"Daddy, Mommy, I'm fine," Aveline reassured them quickly. "I noticed it early, and the tack didn't go in too deep. Orion got me to the infirmary in time-it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Come here," Aurora demanded, her usual gentle demeanor replaced by a stern, commanding presence. "Let me see."

"Mommy, really, I'm okay-"

"Orion, pick her up," Aurora ordered coldly, her tone brooking no argument. She was like a queen, and no one dared defy her authority. Orion, intimidated, obediently lifted Aveline into his arms as Julian pulled off her shoe and sock.

Aveline buried her face in Orion's chest, utterly mortified as everyone stared at her foot.

Her pale, soft sole had a small but distinct scar in the center, where the wound had already scabbed over. It wasn't a large injury, but the sharp tack must've caused considerable pain.
