Seeing the scene in front of her, Eliza immediately realized what had just happened. She stepped forward and said, “What are you causing a scene for?”
“That’s how you talk to your mother? How have I raised you? You’ve only been out of the house a few months, and now you won’t even call me as your mom anymore?”
Evelyn’s tone sharpened; she was clearly displeased by Eliza’s words.
Eliza ignored her and instead looked at Henry, who was clutching his face.
Seeing Henry like this, Eliza quickly understood what her mother had done.
Her expression darkened. “Who gave you the right to hit one of my classmates? We could call the police for this.”
“The police? You’ve certainly grown bold!”
Evelyn grabbed Eliza’s arm. “I should be asking you–where–did you get the nerve? How could you be so vicious–extorting your own sister?”
Hearing her words, Eliza immediately looked toward Naomi standing beside Evelyn.
She quickly realized Naomi must have told her mother that.
Naomi said, “Mom, please stop… I gave the money willingly…”

“Naomi, stop defending this sister of yours! It was the right decision for our family to cut ties with her; the Rivers family has no such daughter!”
“The keyboard was a gift from Henry. Naomi destroyed it; asking for compensation was perfectly reasonable. But since you hit Henry–well, I won’t argue with you about that; the Foster family will deal with you themselves.”
“Foster family? What kind of family raises a child like that? And now they think they can come after me? I haven’t even gone after them yet!”
Evelyn was always unreasonable.
iza gave a cold laugh. “Good–glad you’re not afraid.”
She then walked over to Henry. “Henry, call your parents. Have someone come and deal with this.”
Henry shot a cold look at Evelyn and quickly understood what Eliza meant.
Evelyn was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.
If they didn’t push back, she would really think she could do whatever she wanted here in Haicheng.
Without another word, Henry called his parents.
After briefly explaining what had happened, he ended the call.
Evelyn was still sitting in the classroom. “Where’s the 400 dollars now? Return it immediately.”
10 Sat,

As she spoke, she glanced pointedly at Eliza.
It was clear she believed Eliza had pocketed the money.
Naomi stood by, too afraid to even breathe.
The commotion in Class 6 soon reached the dean’s office.
When the dean hurried over, sure enough, he saw Evelyn again.
“Madam Evelyn, what are you causing a scene about this time?”
This wasn’t Evelyn’s first outburst at school.
The teachers had long grown tired of her.

She constantly made unreasonable demands; whenever her daughter got in trouble, she always blamed the school or the teachers.
She was truly a troublesome parent.
“I’m here because someone extorted my daughter for 400 dollars! Honestly, what kind of students are you raising? Extorting classmates for money–if I hadn’t found out, would my daughter have been bullied in silence?”
“Extortion? Impossible. Our students would never do such a thing.”
The dean wasn’t about to believe that a Class 6 student had extorted anyone.
Besides, these kids were wealthy; even if they weren’t, Class 6 students never stooped to extorting girls.
“Naomi, tell the dean–who extorted you?”
Evelyn shoved Naomi forward.
Naomi looked pale; under the dean’s gaze, she grew even paler and couldn’t get a word out.
“I…”
“Say it! Why are you stammering? I’m here to back you up–you have nothing to fear!”
velyn stood behind Naomi, full of confidence.
Naomi could only say weakly, “It… it was Eliza. Eliza extorted me for 400 dollars.”
“Eliza?”
The dean looked at Eliza in disbelief. “Eliza, is that true?”
“Miss, the 400 dollars is correct; but it wasn’t extortion, it was compensation.”
Eliza calmly took out her phone and showed the dean surveillance footage she had prepared in advance.
“It was Naomi who stole my keyboard and deliberately damaged it. The keyboard was a gift from Henry, worth exactly 400 dollars. Since Naomi destroyed it, asking for compensation was perfectly justified. In fact, I should be raising the issue of Naomi bullying and damaging someone else’s property.”

She had thrown the ball squarely back into Naomi’s court.
Naomi’s already pale face turned even paler.
“What kind of evidence.is that?”
