Suddenly, a tiny piece of chocolate appeared in her pocket. Edith thought to herself, How magical is this chocolatet Should I let od gor she asked, “Dodo, do you like chocolate

“No.” Dode shook his head. “It’s all dark and bitter. It tastes so bad.”

“Alright then, I’ll just save it for Joseph, she thought and looked toward the living room.

Normally, students would still be in their evening classes at this hour, and Vincent and Karen would usually it be at work. But today, the house was fill of commotion:

Hallie was sitting on the couch in the living room crying her eyes out, Karen was right beside her, gently trying to comfort her Vincent was on the phone, looking completely harried, while Dallas stood off to the side, looking anxious

There are so many people in your house,” Dodo said, blinking his eyes. He just wandered right in, like he belonged there

Edith quickly grabbed his hand to stop him. The people in the Lovett family were all schemers if they saw Marcus like this, they might start plotting something.

Besides, she was just a high s school girl, still underage. Bringing a man home at night would be impossible to explain.

“Dodo,” Edith said softly, giving him a gentle smile as she took his hand and led him toward the back of the manor. “How about you play on the swing here for a little while? I’ll just go inside and see what’s going on, okay?”

“No!” Dodo clung to her hand with all his strength, shaking his head hard. “Every time she leaves me, I end up all alone in the dark for what feels like forever, I don’t want to go through that again, Dodo thought.

Edith met his eyes, which were brimming with tears. She could see herself reflected in his tiny pupils, as if she were his entire world.

“Please don’t leave me alone, okay?” Dodo pleaded and clung to her arm, shaking it gently

Edith surrendered immediately. “I just want to go inside, drop off my backpack, and then bring out some snacks and drinks so we can sit on the swings

together

“I’m actually hungry too,” Dodo said, looking down and rubbing his tummy with a pitiful look didin’t eat anything for dinner

Edith couldn’t help but pinch his cheeks. But then she jerked her hand back. ‘Gotta remember, this is Marcus, I can’t risk offending him, she thought.

She took a step back and said, “Be good and wait here for five minutes, okay the back down.”

Dodo hopped onto the swing, pushed off with his feet, and sent the swing soaring through the air,

He called out in his soft, sweet voice, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Edith waved goodbye and headed toward the Lovght Manor with her backpack in hand.

The air in the living room was tense. Hallie had her face buried in her hands, crying

Karen kept trying to comfort her, but nothing she said could get through–Hallie was sobbing like her whole world was falling apart,

Edith didn’t spare them a glance. She just headed straight upstairs as if she hadn’t seen a thing

“Stop right there!” Karen suddenly shouted. She shot to her feet, her eyes blazing as she stared at Edith, She demanded, “Did you leak that recording?”

Chapter 70

Edith frore, her ble innocent eyes wide. “Karen, what do you mean I don’t understand.”

“Cut the act!” Karen snapped. She was so furious that she’d completely lost her compotore, not caring about her Image

She couldn’t even begin to imagine what the teachers and students at school were saying about Halle right now. The thought that her price daughter she’d poured her heart into raising was being ruined like this was simply unbearable

Edith pressed her lips together, looking a little aggrieved. “Karen, are you talking about that receding from the party have no idea what that voice isn’t Hallie’s, you can clear things up with the school.

“But if it is her, then it means she was involved in the piano incident. Since she did it, she should have the courage to face the consequencet

“Blaming someone else won’t magically make her innocent, will it?” She looked a bit wronged, but her words were sharp and clear, ripping off the closl of decency Hallie had been hiding behind.

Karen was so furious that she felt like her insides were on fire. She was about to explode when Vincent suddenly cut in

“That’s enough!” he snapped. “This is all Hallie’s fault. What does any of this have to do with Edith? You’re the one who messed up raising your daughter, and now you want to pin it on Edith? Edith is completely innocent here.”

Hallie’s eyes were brimming with tears, “Dad, how can you say that about me? …

Vincent rubbed his temples, looking exhausted. “I’ve called everyone I could. The school still won’t give in. I practically threw away all my dignity to beg them, and finally, they agreed to let you stay enrolled at Sunspire High School on paper.

“For the next couple of months, you’ll have to study at home. You can only go back to take the SATI,”

Halle just stared blankly at him, her eyes wide and unfocused. She couldn’t tell if she felt more heartbroken or relieved. At least she wouldn’t have to go back and face those damn classmates, getting laughed at and gossiped about every day.

“But if I don’t go to school, how am I supposed to keep up with my studies? Without teachers breathing down my neck, I’m afraid I’d just slack off and not be able to focus at all, she thought.

“Hallie is the top student in her class, and she’s got all those artistic talents. She’s going to get into a top university. They shouldn’t just give up on hi Karen clenched her fists.

She continued, “Tomorrow morning, we’re taking Hallie to see the principal. We can’t just let the Larsons ruin our daughter’s future.”

Vincent was at a loss for words. Marcus was Larry’s uncle, and he’d just arrived in Sunspire from Bonres. No one knew what he was here for

As soon as Marcus showed up, he threw down the gauntlet for the Lovett family. Now, countless people in Sunspire were waiting to watch them fall Hallie getting expelled was just the first step–next, even the Lovett family’s business might be in trouble.

Vincent finally spoke up, “Before we go see the principal tomorrow morning, you should go meet with Mrs. Larson first and see where she stands.

Karen nodded. For Hallie’s sake, she was willing to do anything–even if it meant enduring Stella’s humiliation,

As she listened to their plans for tomorrow, Edith just quietly curved her lips in a silent smile. Even if Hallie did manage to get back into Su School, nothing would ever go back to the way it was.

She headed upstairs to her room and dropped off her backpack. Pulling a pair of headphones from her drawer and stuffing them into her pocket, she grabbed a dictionary, and then got ready to head but

Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly heard the leaves rustling outside. “Why does the wind pick up all of a sudden? Is it about to rain?” Edith wondered to herself. She decided to close the balcony window before heading out.

“Didi!” A gentle voice drifted in from outside the balcony.

Startled, Edith bolted over to the balcony railing, scanning left and right, but Dado was nowhere to be seen.

attention.

Edith looked up and was instantly floored by what she saw. There was Marcus, all six foot one of him, clinging to the tree like a giant kentar

He’d climbed to the top, and the skinny trink was bending under his weight. With him shaking it so violently, it looked like the whole thing could snap in hall at any moment.
