When the Family 78

Chapter 77 Tying Up Loose Ends

+Finished

Everything they saw, heard, and felt seemed horrifyingly real–every bit of pain, helplessness, and fear flooded their hearts. They had been so scared they thought they might actually die, but no one came to save them… no one reached out a hand…

Just when they thought it was all over–that they really were going to die–those scenes, those voices, vanished like a tide retreating from the shore, and they were pulled back into reality.

The classroom was still dark. Lacey collapsed weakly on the cold floor. She had no strength, her mind was foggy. There wasn’t a single wound on her body, but the nightmare she’d just endured had shredded her spirit to pieces.

It felt like she had died hundreds of times. Her mental state was wrecked. She couldn’t help but cry out in fear. She’d never experienced anything so terrifying in her entire life.

Later, the academy launched an investigation into the incident. But she couldn’t explain it to them–whether it had all just been a nightmare or something much more real.

She and Deon didn’t have any physical injuries. They tried to describe everything that had happened, but no one would believe such a surreal story.

The school concluded they were hallucinating–that there was something wrong with their mental state.

And in the end, the matter was swept under the rug. Now, Jean had just told her-

The one who had done all that to her in the Palette Building… was her.

A storm surged through Lacey’s heart. Her body wouldn’t stop trembling. Every time she thought of that day, she completely lost her ability to stay calm, If it really had been Jean… Then what kind of person was she? Was she really just a regular student?

That kind of hypnotic sorcery–being able to control someone’s mind… where she had learned it was a mystery. She wasn’t a normal person–she was a monster.

Jean had no idea what Lacey was thinking right then.

That part of her memory–the one about the Palette Building–was missing.

She had no clue what the original Jean had done to Lacey back then.

She just wanted to tell Lacey the truth.

“Jean,” Lacey forced a crooked smile, her face twisting as she let out a warped laugh. “You… you’re really… you’re such a freak!”

With that, she rushed past Jean and ran straight toward the nearby police officers.

“Officer!” Her eyes were wide, her expression frantic and bordering on hysterical. Her voice came

She shouted and pointed directly at Jean.

“She’s the real villain! She hurt her classmates!” Lacey’s voice broke with tears, her emotions spiraling out of control. “Officer, you need to arrest her too!”

“She’s the worst one!” Lacey sobbed at the top of her lungs, her face drenched with tears. “She just confessed! She admitted everything she did!”

At that, a few of the officers furrowed their brows, clearly confused. One of them tried to calm her down. “Let’s take a breath. You need to calm down. No matter what happened, we need actual evidence and a clear, objective analysis. Yelling won’t help.”

“I don’t have evidence, but she admitted it herself!” Lacey clenched her fists and said it loud and clear.

Seeing that she was slipping into something like a frenzy, the officers couldn’t help but glance over at Jean.

Jean walked over slowly, unhurried.

“What did you say to her? Why is she suddenly freaking out like this…” one of the officers asked with a frown, clearly baffled.

Jean shrugged. Her expression was calm and even. “Nothing much… I just told her to reflect on herself and try to be a better person.”

“Nonsense!” Lacey screamed. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she lunged at Jean like a wild animal. “You lying wench!”

But before she could lay a finger on Jean, one of the officers caught her and held her back with force.

“Calm down.”

Lacey thrashed wildly, looking like someone completely unhinged.

Jean watched it all coldly, her gaze emotionless.

She had deliberately spoken in a low voice just now–there was no way the officers had heard what she really said to Lacey.
