Seeing that Jack's eyes were almost glued to the counselor, Elsie suddenly went crazy and rushed towards us, shouting non-stop.
"You slut! You seduced my husband! I'll kill you!"
I tried my best to stand in front of the counselor. I was scratched and slapped countless times before the loud noise finally attracted the teachers next door.
The teachers next door could actually hear the commotion here all along.
But perhaps they didn't want to get involved, or maybe they wanted to teach the newly appointed counselor a lesson, so they came so late.
After the teachers pulled Elsie and Jack away from me and the counselor, they advised us not to call the police.
"Having the police come to the school will raise suspicions among parents and students, and it will inevitably damage the school's reputation! Ms. Eland, just bear with it this time!"
Jasmine Eland was my counselor, and at this moment, she was clutching my hand with lingering fear.
Seeing that we remained silent, the teachers decided to invite Elsie and Jack to leave.
Seeing this, I immediately threw myself at Jack's feet and held onto his leg tightly. No matter how much he kicked and cursed at me, I wouldn't let go.
In the end, my head was bleeding and covered in bruises. When the teachers realized that they couldn't resolve the situation, they had no choice but to call the police.
It was already evening when we finished giving our statements. It wasn't until the police handed us the receipt and told me that Jack couldn't leave today that I was finally relieved.
On the way home, Jasmine comforted me with a trembling voice, "Given what they did to you today, I'm sure they'll try everything to retaliate against you after Jack is released. You must protect yourself. If you see them again, tell me immediately. I will do my best to help you."
I hugged her without saying anything. She finally burst into tears.
Actually, I was not afraid of their so-called retaliation at all, because I had already died once when I discovered Jack's secret twelve years ago.
The night before being abandoned, I got up and went to the bathroom.
When I passed by the master bedroom, I heard my parents arguing.
"Throw her out in a few days! You're pregnant now. We can't afford to raise two children!"
"But... Harley is my daughter. I can't bear to..."
