Chapter 72

"No! Mom, Dad, help me. Harley... Winslet asked for help in a panie, thinking of escaping.

Yer, soon enough, two bodyguards seized her by the arms.

She was pressed in place as she looked around with an imploring visage.

As their eyes met hers, they took a step back silently.

Some people even sneaked out of another emergency exit for fear of being implicated.

Everyone chose the prudent course.

Besides, they all hated the Larson family for their viciousness. None of them would ever step forward to speak up for Winslet.

"What happened at the enrollment celebration banquet was never our intention, so you can't do this!"

Nothing could describe the devastation within her.

Jealousy swelled in her chest on that note.

"Why's Alina blessed with such luck? Why am I not granted the same?" she mused.

Winslet said through gritted teeth, "I haven't done any substantial impact on you, and you guys have already taken it to this extent... Must you really drive me into a corner? Don't you know this is illegal?"
