Chapter 310-Found Out The Truth
Helanie:
"I heard you made an announcement about Helanie," Lord McQuoid asked Emmet, shifting his attention from his food to him during dinner.
I had been watching Emmet to make sure he was okay, and he seemed completely fine.
"It was needed to be done." I noticed the lack of confidence compared to last time in Emmet’s words. He was so determined on the academy grounds when making that announcement. But tonight, he looked troubled as he kept glancing at Kaye and Maximus.
It was then that I realized he might have gotten scolded by Maximus.
"He announced Helanie as his stepsister?" My mother put her fork down, her tone sharp and shocked.
"Yeah, Ursula, it was important. She was getting bullied nonstop," Lord McQuoid seemed to have known this would upset my mother, so he quickly tried explaining.
However, the look on my mother’s face didn’t change.
She looked unconvinced.
"The rising student needs someone to defend herself," Of course, Charlotte had something to add. She let out a snicker and then lowered her head. Her mother gently elbowed her while laughing under her breath with her.
"Charlotte!" Maximus yelled, causing her to suddenly stop laughing and raise her head to look at him.
