Eleanor panicked and scolded, "You ungrateful child! I'm your mother! If you do this, people will criticise. you behind your back for the rest of your life. You'll be cursed and condemned!"

William finally realised the gravity of the situation and quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Isabelle, your mother and sister were wrong, but calling the police and getting them jailed is too extreme. What your sister did was wrong, but it was just one math problem. She's already facing consequences. We're family; how can you involve the police?"

Isabelle looked at her father and said, "I used to think you were just a simple, kind man. But now, I see you can't tell right from wrong."

She pitied him.

William had lived his life at the bottom of society, constantly bullied by his wife and siblings.

Out of respect for the few times he had shown genuine care for the original owner, Isabelle wouldn't make things too hard for him.

William's heart sank, and he muttered, "Isabelle."

"The money I used to fix the house and buy appliances is repayment for raising me," Isabelle said, then turned to Eleanor. "After this, I owe you nothing Eleanor wanted to protest.

Isabelle cut her off and threatened, "If you don't want to end up in jail, keep your mouth shut.

Then, she told Ethan to pack his things.

"No! Ethan is my son, my life. No one is taking him away from me. If you try, I'll die right here!" Eleanor wailed and made a scene, refusing to let Isabelle take Ethan.

Isabelle frowned in annoyance.

Just then...

There was a commotion at the door. A man's voice called out, "Can I be of any assistance?" George walked in with long strides.

He stood at towering heights, dressed impeccably in a suit, and exuded an air of authority,

The neighbours, who had gathered to watch, quieted down and stared at George.

They speculating that he must be a high-ranking executive from some big corporation

Eleanor had been throwing a tantrum. She suddenly quieted down and parted scrutinising Crarge

She had thought that Timothy, as mayor, was impressive with his authoritys aura. hat feeing Geor she instantly felt Timothy was nothing in comparison.

Chapter 126 Severe Ties

Sitting in the car, George had overheard the commotion in the Jenkins' courtyard. He understood why Isabelle told him, 'It would be better to feed the gifts to the dogs.

As he stood in the doorway, he felt no need to show excessive courtesy or decorum to such parents. Therefore, he didn't even offer basic greetings.

When he looked at Eleanor, who had been spewing all sorts of nasty words earlier, George couldn't help but wonder, How could such parents produce a daughter like Isabelle? Perhaps Isabelle was a genetic anomaly,

Any family with a daughter as talented and capable as Isabelle would cherish her.

But her parents... especially her mother....

George turned to Dylan and instructed, "Help Ms. Jenkins' brother pack his things."

Ethan clenched his fists.

After a moment, he walked into his room without looking at his parents.

Eleanor had just been refusing to let Ethan go; she now remained silent.

She got up from the floor, tidied her clothes, and wiped away her tears and snot. Then, she took a few steps forward.

Forcing a smile, she said, "Isabelle, I was just upset earlier. You know how parents always think about their children. You're my daughter, and so is Layla. I have to protect both of you, right?" She spoke to Isabelle, but her eyes frequently darted to George.

Is this the wealthy classmate Layla mentioned Isabelle had befriended?

He seemed too old for that.

Maybe someone else Isabelle had befriended?

Yes, that must be it.

This young man is clearly from a wealthy family, possibly the CEO of a major corporation worth billions.

With Layla's future ruined, Eleanor had to rely on her more capable daughter.

George even came to the house, indicating how much he cared for Isabelle: He must have spent a lot of money on her.

Eleanor regretted her earlier behaviour.

She should have just apologised to Isabelle and said some kind words.

Eleanor's sudden change in demeanour was obvious to everyone.

George frowned in disgust

parents, he held back.

George felt sorry for Isabelle for having such a mother.

Eleanor continued. "I was just angry and said some harsh things. But no matter what, a mother would never harm her own child. Every parent loves their children. Don't hold a grudge against me. Isabelle. If it had been Layla in your place now, I would have protected you just the same."
