SWNOVELS Chapter 50
Chapter 50 Fallen Leaves, Broken Ties
Scarlet paused for a moment before finally managing to say, “I wasn’t protecting her before. It’s just that she’s inherently bad, even poisoning her own family!”
Thomas wanted to say something more, but she impatiently interrupted him. “Enough, Sir. Since this matter has nothing to do with Samuel, I won’t interfere. As for Angela, she can be whoever’s child she wants to be. From now on, she’s not part of the Kins Family. I’ve been feeding an ungrateful wretch. If she gets into trouble at school in the future, just call Mr. Lawson. Don’t come to our family.”
With that, she grabbed the still–dazed Samuel and headed out.
Watching their retreating figures, Thomas sighed at her lack of maternal instincts. He quickly pushed the matter to the back of his mind and hurried to find out who Jonathan was.
If Angela was expelled, how could David possibly donate to the teaching building? And Jonathan certainly wouldn’t care about this.
He was truly heartbroken.
What a mess!
Unaware that she was being cursed by Thomas, Scarlet left the office in a hurry. “I don’t know if Fanny has finished the competition. If Angela really affected Fanny’s competition, I won’t let her off.”
Samuel, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, “Mom, did our family ever support Angela
“before?”
Scarlet frowned but couldn’t help but think back. In the years of raising Angela, she really couldn’t remember anything.
In the end, she could only say dismissively. “I don’t know. She didn’t cause any trouble before, and she was introverted and didn’t like to talk. Probably not. Why are you suddenly asking about her?”
Samuel was silent for a moment, then shook his head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go find Fanny.”
Walking with Scarlet through the school, Samuel kept his head down, looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, one after another.
He rarely paid attention to fallen leaves before.
They were just leaves, nothing special, and not eye–catching.
But today, he discovered that the ginkgo leaves scattered all over the ground were actually quite beautiful, even stunning. It’s just that fallen leaves can’t speak. Even when they fall on the ground, their voices are soft, and he hadn’t noticed before.
But the beauty of fallen leaves doesn’t depend on his gaze. They were inherently beautiful.
Samuel looked up and saw Fanny running towards them, but he couldn’t help but think of Angela.
She had originally planned to block the slap for Stella, but after hearing Scarlet mention Uncle Donald’s family, she put her hand down.

Scarlet did not protect her but tore down the house she had built herself, leaving her to face the storm with her weak body.
Fanny arrived and suddenly stepped on a fallen leaf. The sound of it shattering startled Samuel, and he suddenly came to his senses.
The falien leaves on the ground were crushed.
“Samuel, what’s wrong?” Fanny looked worried.
Samuel’s heart softened after seeing Fanny, and he shook his head to say he was fine. Looking at the fallen leaf, he felt a sense of lost.
Scarlet took Fanny’s hand. “Fanny, how was your competition?”
Fanny hesitated, then said, “Mom, I didn’t perform well. It’s all my fault. I’m wasting the money James gave me. There’s a better competitor in our department, Jessica Turner. She’s Angela’s best friend and the one Angela gave the spot to.”
Scarlet was displeased. “In that case, tell Angela to have her friend withdraw from the competition. That spot was originally yours, and she agreed to give it to you. You didn’t agree to give it to someone else, so it shouldn’t count.”
Samuel frowned slightly at her words.
“Mom, Angela definitely won’t agree. She also wants Jessica to win. Fanny sighed softly. “Before the competition, Angela brought Jessica to see me and Stella, saying that we drugged Jessica’s water. I don’t know what she misunderstood, but she definitely dislikes me more now.”
Upon hearing this, Scarlet was livid. “Fanny, I already know about this. It was indeed Stella who spiked the water, and Angela wanted to
Frame you as well. But it has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to worry. Stella has been expelled, and you should avoid associating with her in the future.”
“Stella was expelled?” Fanny’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yes, it’s all because Jonathan helped Angela. I don’t know what he’s thinking, always defending Angela. Well, don’t worry about it. It’s fine if you don’t win first prize, second prize is also good. We’re planning a celebration party for you at home. We’ve already bought the food.”
Before Scarlet could finish, Samuel, with his keen senses, caught on to something. He stared intently at Fanny and asked, “Fanny, aren’t you surprised that Stella actually spiked the water?”
Fanny blinked, seemingly not understanding why he would ask such a question and looked a bit hurt. “Oh, I forgot. I was too upset when I heard that Stella was expelled. Samuel, what’s wrong?”
Scarlet also found Fanny’s reactionystrange and couldn’t help scolding, “Samuel, why are you speaking to your sister like that?”
“It’s nothing.” Samuel shook his head, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.
Fanny didn’t seem surprised that Stella had spiked the water, but only surprised that she was expelled.
Thinking about this, Samuel couldn’t help but recall that when the banner fell, Stella and Fanny were both present, and the rope seemed to have been untied by someone.

Why

Why didn’t she ask if anyone saw Fanny untie the rope?
Doesn’t she like Fanny? With such an opportunity, why didn’t she continue questioning?
Samuci was filled with confusion, feeling as if a veil had been cast over his face, obstructing his vision. He was clearly close to the truth, but he couldn’t see it clearly.
Secing that he didn’t ask anything further, Scarlet and Fanny quickly changed the subject.
Soon, they arrived at the venue for the Brundelian speech competition. All the contestants had finished their speeches, and it was time to announce the results.
A moment later, a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes took the stage, speaking passionately in Brundelian.
As he finished his sentence, those in the audience who understood Brundelian erupted in excitement.
“Mr. Jone mentioned that the winner of the first prize will have the opportunity to study in Veridia as an exchange student. All the tuition fees will be covered.” Someone nearby who understood translated for others, their faces filled with excitement.
Studying abroad holds great value in today’s world, but not everyone has the chance. The school may only offer one or two spots each year, and the tuition fees are unaffordable.
However, now there are available spots and covered tuition fees. It’s such a wonderful opportunity that anyone would desire.
