Lady Gill stared at Naraâs face, and for some reason, she felt a sense of affection.
Just as she was about to say something, Austin sneered. âHow could she possibly get into the NoraResearch Institute? Even if her hand werenât crippled, with her education and experience, she wouldnâtbe able to get in anyway!â
Everyone knew that the Nora Research Institute in Clance was currently the best institution.
Nara just glared at Austin.
Keira then said, âHow could it be impossible for her to get in?â
âA person who has been dismissed by our hospital, how could the Nora Research Institute possiblywant her? What kind of joke are you making? Oh, Miss Olsen probably doesnât understand what kind ofexistence the Nora Research Institute is!â
Jackson rambled on. âThe Nora Research Institute is the dream of all the doctors who are into scientific
research!â
Keira looked at him as if she was looking at a joke.
Although Keira had âdiedâ, the existence of the Nora Research Institute was extraordinary, so after shearrived in Clance, she had secretly sent emails, letting the staff of the Nora Research Institute knowthat she
was not dead.
Therefore, the Nora Research Institute in Clance and abroad were both conducting research as usual.
But she didnât owe these people an explanation.
Just as she was about to leave, gripping Naraâs hand, Austin blocked her way again. âWho told you youcan
leave?â
Keira looked up with a cold gaze. âWhat, you want to fight again?â
Austin scoffed. âAs a student, Nara frightened the guests in the VIP ward, doesnât she need toapologize?â
Keira took a deep breath, feeling the urge in her chest.
If this were not Clance, she would have punched him right away!
It wa
absolutely suffocating!
Keira said, âWhat exactly do you want to do?â
âVery simple.â
Austin smiled. âJust let Nara kowtow to Jackson, admit her mistakes, and that will be the end of it.Otherwise, I will definitely have her expelled from school!â
After saying this, he turned to Jackson. âMoreover, Jackson turned into what he is now because of her!Letting her apologize to Jackson isnât too much, is it?â
Nara bit her lip hard.
Her eyes were swelling from crying.
She stared fiercely at Austin, feeling a surge of powerlessness.
Why?
Just because they had power and influence, they could do whatever they want?
But what had she and her brother done wrong?
It was Jackson who went to her house to beat her brother and tried to assault her, and it was MissOlsen
become her fault now?
She cried uncontrollably, her whole body trembling.
Her hand was shaking, feeling as if the blood in her body was gradually turning cold. The person infront of her seemed like a devil.
She sobbed.
Keira simply said, âThatâs impossible!â
Austin looked at her. âMiss Olsen, donât think too highly of yourself. Iâm being considerate by letting herapologize. Otherwise, for someone as lowly as her, making her disappear from Clance without anyonenoticing is just a matter of lifting a finger for me!â
Then he turned to Nara. âDonât be ungrateful! If you donât kneel, I can have your brother dead by
tomorrow!â
Such words could be said so blatantlyâ¦
Keira was utterly astonished
Naraâs eyes reddened even more.
Keira furrowed her brows/ âAustin, have you no regard
for the law?â
Austin laughed. âWhat silly thing are you talking abou I am a law-abiding good citizen, but it always justso happens that some people hold a grudge against Nara brother! And if by chance he accidentally felldown the stairs or off a rooftop, what does it have to do with
me?â
Keira was left speechless by him.
The meaning was crystal clear. He would hire a thug to kill someone, then push all the blame onto thethug!
Nara immediately waved her hand!
Her brother and she depended on each other, and they were very close. How could her brother pay forher
mistake?
Austin continued, âNara, Nange is from the Olsen family, and I cannot touch her, but if I touch you, doyou think the Olsens would fight to the death with our family for the likes of you and your brother, suchlowly people? Oh, right, speaking of which, you two are actually distant relatives of my family! Hahaha,so this is an internal matter for the Gill family, even less something the Olsens can interfere in! Neitheremotionally nor logically can they do anything⦠so,
will you kneel or not?â
âShe wonât kneel!â
Keira flatly refused, then held Naraâs arm. âLetâs go.
Donât worry, I will protect you
and your brother!â
Just as she was about to lead Nara away, Nara suddenly
broke free from her grasp.
Keira was taken aback.
Nara gestured to her, her eyes filled with
determination, anger, and a stubbornness.
Although she couldnât speak, Keira still understood her
intentionâ¦
She didnât want to implicate Keira anymore, nor did she want her brother to come to harm because ofher; otherwise, she would feel guiltyâ¦
Soâ¦
She slowly turned her head toward Jackson and knelt without hesitation!
Keiraâs eyes widened in shock. âNara!â
She wanted to say that one must not lack spine,
intending to tell Nara to get up.
But she suddenly realized, this was Naraâs life, not hers.
She didnât have the strength to protect Nara and her brother all the time⦠unless she kept them underher wings, but was that really what they wanted?
For a moment, Keiraâs feelings were exceedingly complicated, as she stood there stunned.novelbin
After Nara knelt down, she looked toward Jackson.
Jackson felt an inexplicable rush of satisfaction.
This was the lost daughter of the first branch of the familyâ¦
The first branch had always been high and mighty, but now their daughter was kneeling before himâ¦
Jackson sneered. âKowtow!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Austin echoed from the side. âYes, kowtowâ¦â
Nara shut her eyes tightly and her head struck the ground hard.
The sound made Keiraâs heart tremble.
Unable to restrain herself, she cried out again. âThatâs enough!â
She stepped forward, lifting Nara up from the ground.
But before Nara could rise, Jackson shouted furiously, âNot enough, I want her to kowtow ten times tome!
Ten times!â
Austin immediately stepped forward, blocking Keira. âThen thatâs nine more to go. After youâre done,weâll spare you and your brother, how about that?â
A flicker of despair passed through Naraâs eyes.
She was in extreme agony.
But thinking about her brother at home, her own future, and the power of the Gill familyâ¦
She didnât rise but knocked her forehead heavily against the floor again.
âNara!â
Keiraâs eyes were red with emotion.
Jackson felt secretly thrilled inside.
Austin wore an expression of disdain.
Lady Gill, however, frowned, her thoughts occupied
with finding her daughter.
