Our Daughter
The more Donovan heard, the more sympathy he felt toward Wendy.
Balling his fists, he then stared into Wendy’s tearful eyes and said, “No! You’re not left with anything.
You still have me.”
Wendy pressed her lips tightly.
He fell for it!
“Mr. Baxter, what do you mean?” A look of surprise appeared on her face.
Donovan inhaled sharply. “I hate people who bully the weak just because they’re rich and influential.
I’m your teacher. You still have me, your teacher. You’re not left with nothing!”
Wendy then pinched her thigh hard and made her tears fall again.
As she cried, she shook her head. “But there’s nothing I can do at all. Vinson wants to destroy our
family. I can’t hold on any longer. To be honest, I’m here to tell you that I’m planning to drop out to work.
That way, I can provide for my mother. My mom is too used to living a rich life. She won’t be able to live
—”
“Wendy!” Donovan cut her off and raised his voice. “You won’t be able to earn much without the use of
your brain.”
“What do you mean?”
“Wendy, you can’t drop out now. Not only can you not drop out, but you have to get into Maxwell
University. There aren’t any tuition fees needed to study at Maxwell University. Furthermore, if you get
a good grade in your finals, you’ll get a certain amount of money. After your graduation, Maxwell
University would even give you a good job opportunity. By then, you’ll be able to revive the Greene
family.”
“Mr. Baxter…” Wendy’s acting was fantastic as she widened her eyes and let her tears continue to flow.
“It’s a good idea, Wendy,” Donovan solemnly said. “Come back to study starting tomorrow. I’ll tutor you
after class hours. Regardless of everything, I’ll make sure you’re qualified for Maxwell University.”
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
That day was the day Daniel went to court.
As it was a public hearing, people could watch it on the internet.
The moment the court ruled Daniel to thirty years of imprisonment, the netizens cheered.
Daniel’s verdict was read right when Wendy’s class hours were over.
The moment Terry saw the results, he clapped like a seal and cheered, “Great news! Mr. Greene has
been sentenced to thirty years in jail!”
Wendy, who was sitting to the left of Terry, stiffened as hatred poured from her eyes.
One day, I’m going to make Arielle’s supporters who look down on me pay the price! I’ll make them
suffer!
“Terry,” Trisha reminded.
At that, Terry instinctively turned around and saw Wendy from the corner of his eyes.
It was then that he realized his classmate beside him was the daughter of the man who had just been
sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment.
Awkwardly clearing his throat, Terry then walked out of the classroom.
Trisha sighed as she watched him leave. He’s all right in every way but this. He just can’t keep anything
to himself.
She had seen Wendy’s expression just now. It was a terrifying one, and Wendy looked as if she would
have skinned Terry alive if she could.
Someone like Wendy would be an easy target for bullying.
Thus, Trisha only shook her head and returned to her studies.
Meanwhile, the doors of the palace in Turlen were tightly shut.
A handsome middle-aged man stared at the report of a DNA test, his hands holding the paper shaking.
“She’s… She’s our daughter.”
