Mandy lay in Claude’s arms, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Slowly, they started to brighten. She nodded gently and whispered. “I want to go to school with Quinlyn from now on. Her voice was full of hope.

Claude smiled, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at Quinlyn. He felt incredibly grateful to her. Giving that house to her had been the best thing he’d ever done.

Quinlyn had saved Mandy and helped him and his daughter step out of the shadows in their hearts.

Later, Eugene was taken away by the ambulance. If everything went as expected, he was looking at more than a decade in jail.

The parents, who’d been hesitant at first, changed their tune after seeing how the kids reacted. They agreed to help with the testing and even promised to testify in court

As for Quinlyn’s actions, they were a bit forceful, but considering her young age, it was decided that she had acted in self- defense.

“Look. I get that you meant well, but you were dealing with an adult. Next time something like this happens, you need to call the

Among them, Harriet was the one who was hit the hardest.

Back at her seat, Harriet was still in disbelief. She muttered to herself, “No way. Mr. Lambert isn’t like that. He’s so handsome and has such a gentle voice like a prince from a TV drama. He couldn’t do that to Mandy–she’s not even pretty.”

“Enough!” a boy at the next desk couldn’t take it anymore and stood up, shouting. Just because he’s good–looking doesn’t mean he’s not a creep! If he hadn’t done something wrong, why would the cops arrest him? Are you really that brainwashed by TV shows?”
