Chapter 19
“Mr. Huddleston, you people were the ones who weren't willing to give me justice, forcing me to take this route to maintain my legal rights and interests.” Cas sandra found it necessary to remind Edward that this was all because they acted hesitantly in the first place.
It wasn’t as if she didn’t give him a chance.
Edward was rendered speechless.
Indeed, it was as she said.
However, he was merely in a dilemma back then. He hadn’t refused to deal with it.
He simply did not expect Cas sandra to be so resolute in her actions.
“Mr. Huddleston, if you’re also trying to persuade me to withdraw the lawsuit, just save it. | won’t change my mind,” she said. Cas sandra would never back down in this regard.
“By the way, for these three days before the court session, | won’t be coming to school lest you guys feel troubled with my presence,” she added.
It wasn’t as if Cas sandra didn’t give them a chance. She had, but they didn’t treasure it, so they couldn’t blame her for this. Yesterday, Cas sandra called the police first and exhibited the evidence before the police. and Edward. However, instead of asking her classmates to apologize at once, they tried to make her, the victim, downplay the issue. It was simply unreasonable how they expected her to move on from this without even an apology.
When Jonathan handed them the civil complaints yesterday, he already reminded them that they should know exactly what to do during the court session three days later.
It was basically an implicit demand for them to apologize.
Alas, the attitude of this group of people left a lot to be desired.
They were still waiting for the Yates family to put pressure on Cas sandra to withdraw the lawsuit. Well, you guys can continue dreaming for me to drop the lawsuit,’ she thought.
After exiting the principal’s office, Cas sandra went back to the classroom, took her schoolbag, and left without being stopped by the teacher because, in their eyes, she had

gone too far and was not worthy of attending their lessons.
All of a sudden, the school broadcast system sounded.
“Test, test...” Someone was adjusting the volume.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Samuel Grayson from Grade 12’s Honors Class One. Here, I’d like to solemnly apologize to Cas sandra Yates of our class. | am sorry. As the class president, | failed to take care of you, causing you to endure two months of bullying by our classmates since you transferred to the school. Meanwhile, | chose to turn a blind eye to all these things.”
He went on, “Compared with those bullies, |, as a bystander, am even more detestable. Not only did | not stop it in time, but | didn’t even report it to the teachers. | deeply apologize for causing harm to you.”
Samuel's words reverberated throughout the elite school, and everyone from the junior high school department to the high school department learned about this.
Samuel was not only the class president of Honors Class One but also the chairman of the student union, which was why he had a spare key for the radio station. After the morning self-studying period ended, he went to the radio station alone and apologized to Cas sandra.
His intention was not for Cas sandra to drop the lawsuit. He was simply ashamed to see the video evidence yesterday, for he knew that what happened in the footage was truc and factual.
Therefore, he believed people like him were the most detestable.
Samuel thought of many ways to apologize last night, but none had the same influence
as now.
The school wanted to resolve things peacefully, suppress the matter, and even force Cas sandra to withdraw her lawsuit. Thus, he decided he’d help her for nothing other than as an apology.
Samuel's apology was heard by Cas sandra, who was in the field.
Nonetheless, she merely snorted and left.
Meanwhile, Samuel's apology made waves in each class, and the campus forum also became flooded with discussions.
[Oh, my gosh! People in the honors class-also engage in school bullying?]
[I never thought I'd live to see the day that school violence happens in our school. It’s a rarity.]

[The point is, the whole class actually bullied one person? Then, shouldn’t this person reflect on herself?]
[What nonsense are you saying? If we all bully you, will you think you’re the problem?]
| just want to know who Cas sandra Yates is!]
| know who she is. She’s the lost daughter of the Yates family! She was switched right after being born and only reunited with the Yates family two months ago
But at Yulissa’s 18th birthday celebration two days back, Cas sandra announced that she would sever relations with the Yates family.1
Is she st upid? That’s the Yates family, for crying out loud. They’re also one of the top families in Drieso.]
[If a real daughter is declared to be an adopted daughter by her biological parents, then it’s reasonable she doesn’t wanna stay in this family!]
[But what does that have to do with the school bullying?]
Cas sandra transferred here two months ago, but her classmates regard her as a country bumpkin, thinking it’s easy to mess with her.]
My gosh, she’s really pitiful, People in the countryside are human beings too, for Pete's sake. What we cat is all grown by people from the countryside. My family may be rich, but my grandparents have always taught me not to be ungrateful and prejudiced.] If only everyone could think like you.]
[Cas sandra has always been an adopted daughter of the Yates family! She’s just an imposter who dreams of replacing Lisa’s position. Who does she think she is? Serves her right for being bullied!]
[That's right. Because of Cas sandra, Lisa cries every day and gets bullied at home. Lisa didn’t even say anything about it. How dare Cas sandra have the check to accuse others of bullying her? She’s simply shameless!]
Samuel failed to see Cas sandra when he went back to the classroom and felt a little disappointed, as he had wanted to apologize to her again in person.
“Samuel, why did you apologize to Cas sandra? She's kicking up a fuss. We were just joking with her!” Christine complained discontentedly.
Samuel's public apology would in turn be an admission of this matter.
“Samuel, did Cas sandra threaten you or something? Please don’t be mad with her. S- She just feels jealous that our parents and brothers dote on me. She doesn’t really want to fall out with everyone. After class, I'll apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness.

She will definitely withdraw the lawsuit. Please don’t blame her, Samuel.” Yulissa began to s ob softly while speaking.
Samuel knitted his brows slightly, thinking, ‘What is Yulissa talking about? Why don’t | understand a single word?”
Samuel responded in a deep voice, “No one threatened me. | voluntarily apologized. | suggest you guys do so as soon as possible as well.”
With that, he went back to his seat, ignoring Yulissa.
An hour later, Samuel received a call from his mother. “The lawsuit is dropped? Mm, okay, | got it.”
He hung up the phone, failing to come back to his senses for a moment.
‘Cas sandra dropped the lawsuit against me? But why? Because of my apology in the morning? But | was sincerely apologizing, not to make her drop the lawsuit. | could. confess and apologize in court and compensate her, he ruminated.
Samuel’s deskmate became a little overwrought. “The lawsuit is dropped? What lawsuit?”
Everyone in the class listened attentively, only to hear Samuel say. the lawsuit against me. | won’t have to go to court three days later.”
“Cas sandra dropped
At this moment, Samuel finally understood what Cas sandra wanted-just an apology for what they did to her.
Everybody was dumbstruck.
“Samuel, how did you do it? Why would Cas sandra drop her lawsuit against you?”
Even Yulissa couldn’t believe it, thinking. ‘Isn’t she suing everyone? Why is she only dropping the charges against Samuel now?’ “I don’t know.”
Samuel really had no clue, as his mother didn’t elaborate.
She merely told him through the phone that he was right in his approach. It was only reasonable for the wrongdoer to buck up and apologize.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that they couldn’t get any answer from Samuel, the students all returned to their seats sulkily.
