Kennethâs words made Rhardâs heart sink. He looked at Kenneth with anger in his
eyes.

Even Emma couldnât help but raise her volume, âWhy? Iâve apologized. Why do you have to suppress
the Houston family?â
As Emma roared, tears streamed down her cheeks. It seemed like she was the wronged one.
Cassandra couldnât help but frown. Why would the perpetrators always feel wronged? Didnât they
realize that they were wrong?
Even Richard had the same reaction. His respect had turned into impatience.
Was that what a retired soldier should be?
Richard looked at Kenneth with dissatisfaction and said, âDonât go too far. I asked Emma to apologize
as you requested. Why donât you let the Houston family go? Do you think weâre easy to bully?â
Kenneth was the commanding officer of the Falcon Special Operations Force. As the leader, if Kenneth
broke his promise and went back on his word, his people wouldnât be convinced.
Kenneth asked, âMr. Houston, do you believe that a mere apology erases the consequences of oneâs
mistakes? What purpose do the police serve if that were the case? Are we expected to disregard the
harm caused by Emma to Cassandra at school and the insults Emma directed at Cassandra during
yesterdayâs banquet?
âIf you think so, the cost of your mistake will be too low, right? The Houston family still doesnât realize
its mistake. In that case, I wonât stop. Kennethâs tone was cold.
Cassandra smiled and thought, âKenneth really understands me. My forgiveness doesnât mean that I
wonât punish them. Timothy doesnât have the habit of attacking others overnight, but Jeremiah does.
âI donât believe that Jeremiah knew nothing about what happened yesterday!
As expected, after a while, Richard received another call from Sampson. âSampson, whatâs the matter?
Donât worry. Grandpa wonât let you go to Ouflanca,â said Richard.

Sampsonâs angry voice came through the phone, âIâd rather go to Ouflanca alone now than be
suspended here! Grandpa, have you ever disciplined Emma at home? Now the Internet is flooded with
trending topics about her. All the rumors have been confirmed. This morning as soon as my supervisor
arrived, he suspended me from my position and ordered an investigation. I am being suspected of
abuse of power!â
Richard was stimulated. He stepped back repeatedly. How could this happen?
Richard almost lost his balance and asked Sampson, âHow⦠How did this happen?â
Sampson said, âI also want to know how on earth you educate Emma at home. She acts willfully
outside, shows off in the name of you and me, threatens her classmates, and forces so many people to
drop out of school. She is really awesome!â
Richard could feel Sampsonâs anger over the phone.
Kenneth tilted his head slightly and looked at Cassandra, who smiled lightly like a cunning and cute fox.
Hearing Sampsonâs furious words, Emma felt a little embarrassed and flushed. She had never been
scolded like that since childhood, so she suddenly felt aggrieved.
Emma shouted, âThey bullied me. Canât I bully them? They are afraid of you and Grandpa, which has
nothing to do with me. Why are you scolding me now?â Emma cried sadly.
Richard didnât feel sorry for Emma at all this time. He thought she was really spoiled.
Emma didnât expect that Sampson would be suspended for investigation now. Even if Sampson was
proven to be innocent in the end, his career would still be affected. It would be very difficult for
Sampson to get promoted for the next few
years.
But now, it turned out that Emma had bullied the weak by relying on Richard and Sampsonâs power.
If someone were to begin an investigation, Emmaâs actions would implicate the Houston family.
Helen was scared and at a loss after she heard Sampsonâs words. She grabbed

Richardâs phone and asked, âSampson, how are you doing now? Are you okay?â
Sampson said, âMom, since I joined the army, I have never relied on anyone. I even asked Grandpa for
help. All my achievements were earned by my hard work. Now I have to accept a false investigation
because of Emma. As long as they carry out the investigation, they will know that Emma used my
reputation to bully people. Do you think I wonât be punished? Iâm going to be promoted to colonel soon.
Do you really want to kill me?â
Hearing this, Helen cried with remorse, âSampson, donât worry. Your grandpa and I will find a way out.â
Sampson couldnât stand their words and hung up directly.
Helen stared at Emma with tears in her eyes. Then she walked forward and slapped Emma in the face.
âYou stupid girl! Itâs all your fault. Do you want to kill your brother?â Helenâs eyes were filled with anger
and disgust. âWhat on earth are the trending topics that your brother mentioned? Explain it to me
clearly. What have you done?â Helen asked in
anger.
Helen put all the responsibility on Emma. Richardâs eyes were full of despair, and his pace toward
Kenneth was instantly much heavier as if he had become ten years
older.
Richard said, âMr. Zelinski, I didnât teach Emma well. But it has nothing to do with Sampson. I will take
all the responsibility. Please let Sampson go. He has a bright future. His life canât be ruined because of
his sister. I will discipline Emma well and let her learn to behave herself. Please forgive us!â
Richardâs tone was sad, full of remorse. But it was too late to regret it.
For a soldier, such things were never allowed to happen in his family. The Houston. family not only
didnât restrain Emma, but let her become more and more arrogant outside. A little trouble would affect
the career of a soldier who was in the army. Now the Houston family had realized the problem, but it
was too late.
Kenneth shook his head and said indifferently, âMr. Houston, I admit that it was me who ordered
Sampson to go to Ouflanca, but I just found out about the investigation and his suspension.â

Clearly, Richard didnât believe it. He gazed at Kenneth in disbelief. As Kennethâs eyes remained sincere
and devoid of evasion, Richard felt a deep sense of heartbreak.

Cassandra suggested, âMr. Houston, rather than begging me for help, itâs better tot see what is going
on on the Internet and what serious things have affected Sampson, instead of wasting time asking for
forgiveness.â
Hearing this, Helen wiped the tears on her face and quickly turned on her phone to check Twitter.
As soon as she clicked in, she saw several trending topics on the homepage.
Helen felt dizzy and almost couldnât see the words clearly.
The trending topics were all about the Houston family.
The top trending hashtags were, âUndergraduates of Juset University,â âJuset Universityâs Former High
School Bully,â âEmma of Juset University: Bully,â âEmma from the Houston family in Drieso,â âEmmaâs
Granddaughter,â âEmmaâs Brother, a Soldier about to Be Promoted to Colonel,â âHow Powerful Emma
Is,â âImpact of Emmaâs Bullying on Girls,â and âThe Victimâs Reaction to Emma.â
There was more. The information provided was detailed, spanning from Emmaâs college years to high
school, from her individual experiences to her familial connections, and from her grandfather to her
brother.
Helen sensed her blood pressure surging, feeling as though her head was on the brink of exploding.
