After speaking, Zayden pulled a rolled stack of four hundred dollars from his uniform pocket and handed it to Eliza. “Here, this money is to cover Naomi’s debt to you. Could you ask the Foster family not to make things too difficult for Madam Evelyn?”
Watching Zayden still trying to look out for Naomi, Eliza suddenly felt pathetic.
No matter what kind of person Naomi was, Zayden still defended her.
“Zayden, if she had only come after me, I would have said nothing. But she hit my classmate; I cannot forgive that, nor do I have the right to forgive on someone else’s behalf.”
Eliza brushed past Zayden with indifference, not even sparing the four hundred dollars a glance.
The Foster family worked fast; Henry was the son of the Foster family, and their lawyers did not dare delay.
By the afternoon, the lawyer’s letter had already been delivered to the Rivers family.
When Evelyn received it, she nearly fainted.
“Honey, what are we going to do? What do we do now?” Evelyn clung to Nathan. She had no intention of going to prison.
In their social circle, if someone ended up in prison, it would be a lifelong disgrace.
She could not bear to live under that kind of shame forever.
Nathan was quickly losing patience. “What are you coming to me for? Who told you to go hit someone else’s child?”
At home, it had been one thing when Evelyn hit Eliza.
After all, she was their own child; if she got hit, so be it.
But outside the house, Evelyn had not shown the slightest restraint.
She thought having a bit of money gave her the right to hit kids from families without it.
But this time, they had offended the Foster family; that was not something money could resolve.
“Anyway, it will probably just be a few days in jail; you should be out soon enough.”
Nathan patted Evelyn’s hand. “You will have to tough it out for a few days; then it will all blow over.”
“What did you just say?”
Evelyn yanked her hand away. “You are hoping I go to jail so you can chase after some floozy, aren’t you? I am your should be standing up for me! How can you side with outsiders against me? Are you even a man?”
wife; you
Nathan’s expression grew darker. “And what do you expect me to do? You brought this mess on yourself; no one can clean it up for you!”
Evelyn gritted her teeth in fury. “This is all that Eliza’s fault! If not for her, none of this would have happened!”
At the mention of Eliza, Nathan’s face hardened.
“Ever since we brought Eliza home, this family has had one problem after another. She is nothing but bad luck.”
Evelyn stood up, clearly about to leave.
Nathan quickly blocked her, afraid she was about to do something reckless again. “Where do you think you are going?”
“Where do you think? I am going to find Eliza!” Evelyn shot Nathan a glare.
Does he really want me to go to jail? It was just one slap; what is the big deal? These rich kids sure are high maintenance.

Evelyn deliberately waited until dismissal time, then drove to the school.
When the security guards at the gate saw Evelyn, they were already reluctant to let her in.

This parent had caused trouble on campus multiple times. The administration had issued a directive, any time Naomi’s mother came to the school, the guards were to call for approval before letting her in.
Otherwise, Evelyn’s antics would ruin the school’s atmosphere.
Her car sat at the school gate for quite a while; the guards still refused to let her through.
“What is going on? I need to get in; open the gate!” Evelyn demanded.
One of the guards frowned. “Madam, it is peak dismissal time. You cannot drive in now, and we require all visitors to sign in. This is for the students‘ safety.”
“Safety? I came earlier today and had no problems. Open the gate; I need to see my daughter!” Evelyn argued, making a scene that quickly drew attention from other parents.
The guards saw traffic backing up outside the gate and heard the rising chorus of honking. Under pressure, they finally opened the gate.
As the gate swung open, Evelyn huffed, “You should have opened it sooner. So stubborn!”
With that, she got back in her car and drove in slowly.
It was already dismissal time.
Eliza had just finished packing up her desk.
Henry, having been injured, had already been picked up by the Foster family earlier in the day.
Only Nolan and Eliza remained in the classroom.
“Why are you still here?”
Nolan’s voice came from behind her, low and even.
“I am waiting for someone,” Eliza replied.
She knew Evelyn’s temperament better than anyone.
Evelyn would never want to go to jail; she was certain to show up at school right after dismissal.
Eliza was waiting to see what that woman would say.
Nolan said nothing more; he leaned back in his chair in silence.
