SWNOVELS Chapter 445 Give It to Her or Not
According to Emily's narration, Linda could tell that Emily's family didn't treat her well. She said that her parents had been dead ever since she was little, and her uncle and aunt had adopted her.
Her uncle and aunt must have mistreated her. Otherwise, they would be willing to pay the tuition fee for her.
The tuition fee of senior high school was affordable for average families.
Emily just needed a year's worth of tuition. After entering the university, she could take on a work-study program and support herself.
"Ms. Xia, what should I do now?"
"First of all, Jerome had misappropriated students' education grants, which is illegal. Don't worry. I'll solve this problem for you. Now, since you are already in your senior year, you should work hard and try to get enrolled by your ideal university." "Ms. Xia, I still don't know what I should do..."
"Let's go back to the school now."
Linda brought Emily back to the school. After all, she should give the school an explanation.
The news of Emily's suicide attempt had spread throughout the whole school.
Linda now finally knew why Emily wanted to jump off from the building. She was being too hard on herself with the horrible things she was experiencing. Emily would probably never have such thoughts again.
People would come across a lot of setbacks in life. As long as they could snap back to reality in time, nothing would be irreparable.
As long as there was life, there was no reason to stop living. Linda always believed that life should always be cherished.
As they entered the school gate, Ron came over to them.
"My Lady, this girl's guardians have come to the school earlier. They are in Jerome's office now."
"Okay. Where is Jerome?"
Linda was not surprised to hear the news. Since this was a big incident, it was normal for the school to inform the student's guardians.
Hearing Ron's words, Emily showed resistance and hurriedly shook her head, "Ms. Xia, I don't want to see them. They will definitely ridicule me."
It seemed that Emily's uncle and aunt were mean people, unfit to take care of a child.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry. I'll be with you. They won't do anything to hurt you. Let's go. We should clear this out to everyone. Everything should be put back in place, right? You should face the situation rather than fear and escape from it." Emily clenched her teeth, still unwilling to go.
Linda patted her shoulder and said, "Take it easy. If you don't want to see them, you can go to my office and wait for me there."
Emily raised her head and asked, "Ms. Xia, do you think I can get my grants back? Am I doing something wrong? Will Mr. Liu be punished?"
Emily seemed to be worried.
Linda nodded and replied, "Don't worry. It was his fault. You didn't do anything wrong."
"Okay. I'll go to the office with you. I'll explain this matter to them."
If Emily could understand better, things would have been easier, but Linda knew that Emily was still very young, so her mental state was not mature enough. Therefore, she was scared. But she could only grow up by facing herself and her fears. "Yes, that's right. They all need an explanation."
Linda took Emily to the office. At this moment, Jerome's office was very crowded. Several senior school leaders, Jerome, Emily's uncle, and her aunt were there.
"Ha! You still dare come back? Well, since you're a girl, if you don't want to go to school, you can stop studying. Why would you want to jump off from the building?"
As soon as Linda entered the office, she saw a woman saying something vile. The woman had to be Emily's aunt.
Emily didn't say anything. She just lowered her head. There was no expression on her face. Obviously, Emily often heard such things at home.
"Sammi, stop! What are you talking about? There are so many people around. Stop talking nonsense!" A middle-aged man beside the woman scolded her in a low voice. His tone wasn't high, and it also had no confidence.
"She doesn't want to attend the school, but she is still staying in school. She is thick-skinned, isn't she? If I were her, I would have directly crushed my skull and committed suicide. Didn't you want to jump off from the building just now? Why didn't you?" Linda couldn't listen to her talking rubbish anymore. Were they really Emily's family?
They were much more ruthless than the devil.
Emily had been living with this kind of family members. No wonder she wanted to jump off from the building.
"Sammi, we're in the school. Hold your tongue!" The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly. His words seemed anxious and weak.
"How are you going to deal with this matter now? Will the school give Emily the money or not? If not, she won't be able to continue studying, "Sammi sulked.
They also couldn't afford Emily's tuition fee.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
