“Let's go by what Elizabeth said.”

When Jack spoke, he was looking at Frank.

Frank was silent.

Was he truly a teacher? Did he respect his elders?

Lily was Jack's cousin. If the parents involved had already spoken, what could Frank possibly add?

The Wilson family's issues should be resolved by them.

Lily remained silent.

She could counter Elizabeth, quarrel with Ben, and even dare to talk back to Mr. Berwick, but she dared not speak against Jack.

Initially, Lily simply wanted to vent on behalf of Linda. However, it wasn't until after the coming-of-age ceremony that she genuinely despised Elizabeth.

Just a village girl causing a dent in her dad's business!

So annoying!

Elizabeth noticed Lily's gaze and thought, “Humans are truly complex creatures.”

Would she, when she fully understood humanity, possess such complex human nature?

And if so, what's the merit of being human?

Elizabeth blinked, her expression blank.

Frank's view of Elizabeth had shifted. Reflecting back, it seemed Elizabeth had been in control the whole time, while he, as a teacher, seemed to merely nod in agreement.

Such a promising young lady, he must treat her well, aiming for her admission to Metropolitan University.

It would also be an honor for him.

Jack's face darkened, and he warned Lily, “I'll discuss this with your dad later.” Lily, feeling humiliated, pleaded, “Jack, I'm sorry, please don't tell my dad.”

If her family business suffered due to her again, her dad would probably never forgive her.

Jack's brow furrowed, but he said nothing more. Taking Elizabeth with him, he left in haste, leaving Lily lost in her thoughts, anxious and troubled.

Elizabeth noticed Jack following her toward the classroom and emotionlessly said, “You should go.”

“I'll walk you to your class,” Jack insisted.

“No need,” Elizabeth refused.

Jack's sharp eyes revealed a mix of emotions, “I didn't mean what you think.”

Elizabeth looked at him, puzzled.

“I didn't believe you cheated. I was just too anxious and apologized prematurely,” Jack said, looking intently at her.

The hallway's dim light illuminated her profile, making her pale face appear even more indifferent.

Elizabeth seemed unfazed and said sincerely, “It's fine. I'm used to it.”

I'm used to it…

Jack's heart felt a pang. Was she implying that she had grown accustomed to being misunderstood by him?

Looking at the tired face of Elizabeth, Jack felt like she was a complete stranger to him.

Even though Elizabeth was younger, he found her thoughts enigmatic.

So… perhaps it wasn't entirely his fault for misjudging her.

Finding some solace in that thought, he took a moment before saying, “If something's wrong, you should tell me. Don't hide anything. I'm your brother.

I'll always be on your side.”

Elizabeth simply responded with an “Oh,” not really promising anything. Jack pursed his lips, asking, “Are you having a hard time at school?”

Given the recent false accusation, he suspected Elizabeth might be facing challenges.

But Linda never mentioned anything. He planned to ask Linda later about Elizabeth's status in her class.

“It's alright,” Elizabeth answered.

Seeing Elizabeth's lack of enthusiasm, Jack had so much he wanted to say but couldn't find the words. Finally, he sighed, “I'll go now. Make sure you get along with your classmates.”

Elizabeth looked up and gave a slight nod.

Jack still left in the end. He really didn't know what to say to Elizabeth. To be honest, every time he was with his younger sister, there was always a bit of unease between the two.

Maybe it was due to Elizabeth's cold demeanor..
