Chapter 1183

Wrenching her arm free from her mother's grip, Jocelyn shouted, "I won't apologize! What are you going to do about it? If you're so bold, why don't you hit me back?"

She thrust her tear-streaked face toward Zoey, her cheeks flushed, as if bearing a heavy injustice.

Naturally, Zoey would never strike her, but a cold laugh escaped her lips. "Very well. In that case, I'll go to the Quinton family and ask Lord Gerald what kind of upbringing you've had there." She turned to Carissa. "Headmistress, it would be a great help if you could vouch for me when the time comes."

Carissa nodded. "If you go to see Lord Gerald, I will speak plainly."

Vera knew it would be disastrous if word of this reached Gerald. If he heard of it, their branch of the family would surely be reprimanded.

With that thought, she gritted her teeth and said to Jocelyn, "Apologize."

Tears streamed down Jocelyn's face as she stomped her foot. "Mom, I won't apologize! They're the ones bullying me and trying to kick me out of the academy! They should apologize to me!"

Vera glanced at Zoey and Carissa, who both looked cold, and immediately put on a stern face.

"If you've done something wrong, apologizing is the proper thing to do," she told her daughter.

Jocelyn felt she had already suffered enough these past few days. Now, not only was her mother not standing up for her, but she was also asking her to apologize.

She angrily threw her hands down, stomped her feet, and cried, "I won't apologize! Let them make a scene if they want to. I'd rather die than back down!"
