Chapter 2255: Chapter 2255: The Young Ones’ Love Is So Sweet (168)
Then, with an expressionless face, she said:
"Emma, at this point, you still always take it for granted that everything is someone else’s fault, that everyone should unconditionally follow your arrangements and solve your problems for you. Do you think you have this right?"
"The mistakes you’ve made yourself, what right do you have to let others solve them for you? The things you’ve done, was it me who forced you to do them, or William who forced you to do them? To put it bluntly, it’s nothing more than your dirty little thoughts that you didn’t control, always thinking about making others suffer."
"Fortunately, this time the people you hurt are William Wilson and me. We have the resources to protect our interests, but if it were someone else? They could have easily been ruined for life by the rumors you spread."
"At that time, would you feel you were wrong? You wouldn’t, you’d just be smug, thinking no one could do anything to you."
"So, no matter how William Wilson decides to deal with you, I won’t interfere with his decision, because this is all what you deserve."
Emma listened to Laura Jones say these words with such an expressionless face, she couldn’t rebut a single word, and at the same time, the panic in her heart became more intense.
She didn’t dare say anything unpleasant to further anger Laura Jones. When Laura Jones walked out of the classroom, Emma rushed out again to try to stop her, but was blocked by the bodyguard William Campbell had assigned to Laura Jones.
Emma sank to the ground with a look of despair, muttering incessantly, "I’m finished, I’m finished..."
A moment later, she covered her face and began to sob uncontrollably.
Those bystanders who were enjoying the drama initially saw Emma in such a state and couldn’t bring themselves to gloat anymore, so they awkwardly returned to their seats.
Half a month passed like this, and Emma didn’t come to school again.
When she appeared at school again, it was already a month later.
She had lost a significant amount of weight, and her spirit was much more exhausted than before; even her eyeballs seemed sunken.
The arrogant demeanor she once had was gone. Now, with her eyes cast down, she looked deflated.
When she entered the classroom, her gaze went straight in Laura Jones’ direction.
Standing still for two seconds, Emma hesitated a bit but eventually walked over to Laura Jones.
Noticing someone in front of her, Laura Jones, who was reading, looked up, and upon seeing Emma, she was momentarily stunned.
She looked at her and asked, "What’s up?"
Emma pressed her lips together and said softly, "Laura, thank you for this time."
Laura looked at her; the hostility that used to envelop Emma was lessened, and at that moment, she seemed much more peaceful.
That day, Emma begged her to persuade William Wilson to be lenient. Though she promptly refused her at the time,
in the end, she still couldn’t bear to see a girl like Emma destroy her future over something that didn’t have a significant impact.
In the end, her saintly side took over, and she spoke to William Wilson.
She wasn’t sure if what she did was right, but at that moment, looking at Emma’s weary yet sincere eyes without any pretense or reluctance, Laura knew that Emma had truly learned a lesson this time.
From now on, whether it’s toward her or others, she will always remember today’s events.
Because you never know when you might run into someone stronger than you.
It’s always good to leave yourself a bit of leeway.
"I accept your thanks, from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
