Wrenching her arm free from her mother’s grip. Jocelyn shouted, “I won't apologize! What are you going to do
about it? If you're so bold, why don’t you hitback?”
She thrust her tear-streaked face toward Zoey, her cheeks flushed, as if bearing a heavy injustice.
Naturally, Zoey would never strike her, but a cold laugh escaped her lips. “Very well. In that case, I'll
go to the Quinton family and ask Lord Gerald what kind of upbringing you've had
there.”
She turned to Carissa. “Headmistress, it would be a great help if you could vouch forwhen the tcomes.”
Carissa nodded. “If you go to see Lord Gerald, | will speak plainly.”
Vera knew it would be disastrous if word of this reached Gerald. If he heard of it, their branch of the family would
surely be reprimanded.
With that thought, she gritted her teeth and said to Jocelyn, “Apologize.”
Tears streamed down Jocelyn’s face as she stomped her foot. “Mom, | won't apologize! They're the ones bullying
Vera glanced at Zoey and Carissa, who both looked cold, and immediately put on a stern face.
“If you've done something wrong, apologizing is the proper thing to do,” she told her daughter.
Jocelyn felt she had already suffered enough these past few days. Now, not only was her mother not standing up
for her, but she was also asking her to apologize.
She angrily threw her hands down, stomped her feet, and cried, “I won't apologize! Let them make a scene if
they want to. I'd rather die than back down!”
With that, she turned and bolted for the door.
But with Carissa standing there, Jocelyni didn’t get far. Within a few steps, she caught up to her and dragged the
girl back toward Zoey.
Carissa turned to Zoey and said, “This incident occurred at Gracewood Women’s Academy, so the academy
bears sresponsibility. Here’s what we'll do. Since she’s harmed Ms. Prince's reputation, we'll take it to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtauthorities. Whatever they decide, the academy will bear its share of the blame.”
Zoey held Courtney's hand and replied solemnly, “If that’s what you suggest, then we'll go to the authorities,
Lady Carissa.”
Jocelyn froze, her eyes wide with fear. “I don’t want to go to the authorities!”

There was no way a well-bred young lady could be sent to the authorities. How would she ever show her face
again?
“Then, hurry up and apologize! Get it over with so we can leave this wretched place!” Vera snapped, her voice
rising in sharp anger.
Jocelyn fumed for a moment, then reluctantly walked up to Courtney and Zoey. She pursed her lips and
muttered, “Sorry, | was wrong.”
Her tone was still brimming with resentment, but Zoey had no desire to argue further.
She sighed and said flatly, “Enough. We can’t afford to cross the Quinton family.”
With other students present, Zoey’s words were meant for them too.
The Quinton family had grown arrogant over the years, completely unaware of how they were perceived. Even
now, Kylie was boldly attempting to secure alliances through marriage to win over military generals and
strengthen Connor's position.
If even a woman like Zoey could see it clearly, how could Salvador not suspect Kylie was trying to force his hand
in declaring Connor as the crown prince?
So, it was fine if things turned sour with the Quinton family.
Vera felt awkward hearing that, but didn’t think much more about it and just grabbed Jocelyn
and left.
Even Catherine couldn't help but furrow her brow. “What has becof the Quinton family’s fourth branch?”
“The Quinton family is no longer what it once was,” Athena replied.
There were other students present, so the conversation ended there.
Rosalind told the students to head back and prepare for class. She appeared unaffected, her expression still calm
and gentle.
Carissa stayed behind for a brief conversation with Kyle, while Zoey stepped outside to soothe Courtney and
explain the situation to her.
In Kyle's class, everyone behaved well, especially when he was teaching painting. His students’ eagerness to
learn was so encouraging to watch.

Carissa nodded in agreement. After exchanging a few more words, she stood up and said, “I'm going back with
Madam Zoey. We need to talk on the way.”
