Chapter 24
“Your big brother went to handle it at the school, and there were some unpleasant incidents. Then your big brother told the assistant to negotiate with all nearby merchants to refuse service to Miss Miller.”
Hearing this, Emery was so shocked that his body trembled; then came an overwhelming anger. He never expected his elder brother to be so ruthless.
‘Cheating? Really funny. To think that someone who almost gets full marks every time cheats?’ As he thought about it, tears. welled up in Emery’s eyes.
He couldn’t bear to think about what might have happened to Aubree.
“Go report it!” The three words seemed to drain all his strength as he shouted them out.
The assistant was startled and couldn’t help but think that their boss should’ve known better. Yet, as a mere employee, she could only follow orders.
Realizing something, Emery snapped back into action and hurried toward where he had parked his car.
Then, he sped through the streets until he reached the building of the Wilson Group.
Ignoring all greetings from the receptionist, he rushed at top speed to the top-floor office.
At that moment, Bryan was on a video conference when someone kicked open the door. Frowning and recognizing who it was, he got punched right in the face.
Being grabbed by the collar, he was yanked up from the chair.
“Bryan! Are you even a man?” Emery roared.
The special assistant quickly cut off the meeting.
Coming to his senses, Bryan felt utterly bewildered. He shook Emery off, snapping, “Are you out of your mind?”
“Am I out of my mind? Your own sister is penniless and wandering outside! Not only do you not care but you break her last hope!”
Bryan immediately understood what Emery was talking about. Getting punched in the face really annoyed him, so without any thought, he kicked Emery back and asked, “Calm down yet?”
The pain from being hit calmed down Emery’s rage gradually.
“Aubree secretly switched to general education courses, was involved in cheating, bringing shame to the Wilson family, and what’s more, she dared to fight back against me.
“Isn’t it only right that I teach her a lesson? Once she’s suffered enough outside, won’t she come back obediently?” Facing Emery’s accusations, Bryan felt no remorse whatsoever.
‘Lesson? Bryan even hit Aubree?’ Emery found it absurd and his punch was too light.
“Suffer? Hasn’t Aubree suffered enough? She was supposed to be a pampered young lady, but at five, it was you, the eldest
brother, who lost her!
“She was abducted by human traffickers. If not for a kind couple who helped her on the way, and she managed to escape and was later sent to an orphanage, who knows where she’d be now!
“Your mistake has made her suffer for ten years. Isn’t that enough?”,

Bryan’s face darkened instantly. The issue of Aubree getting lost because of him was his sore spot.
He refused to admit his mistake. He could use Carmen as a substitute to make up for it, but Aubree’s return constantly reminded him of what he had done.
He was already making amends-her poor academic performance, so he paved the way for her to study art, hired tutors for
her.
‘What more does she want? Her repeated defiance is just to vent her grievances from back then, isn’t it? Teaching her a lesson to make her understand her place-what’s wrong with that!’ Bryan retorted inwardly.
Emery wasn’t done yet. “You should take some time to read the reports your assistant sends you. Cheating? Shouldn’t she switch to general education courses?”
With a sneer, he added coldly, “Do you know Aubree scores nearly perfect in every exam after enrolling in Rithol High School?”
Seeing the shock on Bryan’s face, Emery felt even more contemptuous.
His smile grew colder as he said inwardly, “This was the brother who claimed he would make up for Aubree. Now, he doesn’t even dare to face his own mistakes.’
