NovelEnglishChapter 130 Perhaps the headmistress had been bought off by the Linwood couple.
Seeing her hesitation, Claire challenged, "Weren't you going to call the police? Go ahead, make the call!" Caught in a dilemma, the headmistress hesitated.
Claire, undeterred, pulled out her phone. "If you won't call them, then I will. It's been five years-tfor the truth to cout." Just as she was about to press the call button, a large hand snatched the phone from her grasp and smashed it to the ground, shattering it completely.
Claire looked up in shock, only to be slapped hard across the face, knocking her onto Irene's hospital bed.
Her cheek burned with pain, and her ears rang with a dull roar.

He cursed her, raising his hand as if to strike her again. Despite the throbbing pain in her face, Claire's only concern was for Irene.
Irene, who had just awoken from a comatose state, was frail, and Claire's fall had knocked her unconscious again.
"Irene! Irene!" Claire's voice trembled with desperation, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. "Please wake up, just hold on a little longer." If they couldn't prove Vanessa's guilt today, it would be nearly impossible to do so in the future.
Nathan, Adah, Ethan, Vanessa, and even Vincent and the headmistress all seemed relieved when Irene lost consciousness.
Brian hurried over, pushing Claire aside and anxiously called out, "Irene, what's wrong? Don't scare your brother like this." But no matter how he called, Irene remained unresponsive.
His heart ached as he glared at Claire in fury, "This is all your fault! If you hadn't caused such a commotion, Irene wouldn't have fainted. If something happens to her, I will never forgive you." With that, he lifted Irene in his arms and barked at the headmistress and the doctor, "What are you waiting for? Get my sister to emergency care!" A flash of satisfaction passed through the headmistress's eyes as she hurried, with the doctor, out of the room with Brian.
Claire tried to follow, but Nathan blocked her path. "Get out of here, this instant!" With Vanessa on the brink of being exposed, everyone seemed determined to thwart Claire.
A wave of dizziness washed over Claire, an unprecedented despair consuming her.
She threw back her head and laughed, a sound echoing through the room, filled with bitter madness and despair.
"You're all against me," she shouted. "Every last one of you." Nathan was taken aback by her sudden outburst, but his anger quickly reignited.
He kicked Claire to the floor, raising his fist to strike her.
Aberdeen, Grace, and May rushed forward to restrain Nathan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAberdeen, having witnessed the entire scene, now understood what had happened to Claire. The more she understood, the more her heart ached, realizing how heartless the Linwood family was.
"Is this how you treat your child? Ignoring your own daughter while protecting a deceitful adopted one. Have you no conscience?"
"Mind your own business, old woman!" Nathan snapped, shoving the elderly women away with a wave of his hand. He raised his fist, aiming for Claire once more.
Throughout the ordeal, Adah, Ethan, and Vincent stood by, none of them stepping in to stop Nathan's assault on Claire.
Just as Nathan's fist was about to land, he let out a scream of agony.
Claire had grabbed a fruit knife, stabbing it straight into Nathan's arm. The blade pierced through his En flesh, the tip gleaming red with blood.
Claire seemed to awaken from her nightmare, every ounce of anger unleashed Memories of the past five years flooded her mind-the injustices, the misunderstandings, the pain... "I don't care about innocence anymore." "I want your lives-" With those words, she withdrew the knife, blood splattering across her face.
Like a vengeful spirit, she showed no hesitation and drove the knife towards Nathan's chest.
