Chapter 123 Hera followed the young boy to the door of the school clinic, where the sounds of a boy's sobs and a woman's sharp scolding could be heard from inside.

"What's going on? It's been almost an hour, Why haven't his parents arrived yet? Sparents just don't care about their children," Eugene Ergol's mother, Yana Harrington, exclaimed angrily.

"Mrs. Ergol, please calm down. Mr. Everett is stuck in traffic," Violet Woodwick, Gino's homeroom teacher, tried to pacify her.

"When I care, there wasn't any traffic. It's just an excuse. I'm convinced he's intentionally avoiding responsibility," Yana retorted angrily, "This brat injured my son. If I don't get an explanation today, I'll sue you all for negligence!" Upon hearing this, Eugene's homeroom teacher, Quincey Ballard, becanxious and urged, "Ms. Woodwick, are you sure he's really on his way? Maybe you should call him again to hurry him up." At that moment, the door was knocked and then pushed slightly open Hera walked in.

With short, curly hair dyed wine red, clad in designer attire, adorned with oversized gold earrings and chains around her neck, she coaded a nouveau riche "You're hurling curses lett and right, yet you're lecturingabout manners?' Hera retorted.

Yana was momentarily speechless at Hera's words.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Gino's sister," Hera replied, motioning for Gino to cover.

"Chere." With just those simple words, Gino was stunned. He instinctively walked toward her.

He was already standing in front of her when he realized what he was doing "Hey, I remember the Everett family went bankrupt, but no one died, right? That cowardly James doesn't dare to show himself, so he sends his country bumpkin daughter instead, Yana said sarcastically.
