VeryNovelChapter 533 A Bit of Regret Finished Jean let out a helpless little smile, her voice growing softer. "She's like a ghost that won't go away... Maybe I just get under her skin..." "Did she do anything else?" Before anyone else in the Ginger family could speak, Winston was the first to ask.
His brow was furrowed, a faint chill in his expression. His voice was serious but not harsh, there was even a trace of gentleness to it. "Has she bullied you in any other way?" Jean had mentioned to him once, in the little grove near campus, that a female classmate had deliberately tripped her.
She'd told him the girl's nwas Sarah.
Afterward, he'd looked into this Sarah.
Her background was completely ordinary-just a girl from spoor, remote town.
Of course, the only reason she'd gotten into Stellarford Academy was her stellar academic record.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBased on the file alone, no one would suspect anything.
She seemed smart and clear-headed. So why the heck couldn't she think straight? She actually dared to lay a hand on my sister... Winston had made up his mind to teach her a lesson.
Sarah often stayed late at the library, studying until almost midnight. Afterward, she'd take a narrow path back to the dorm.
Winston had someone wait for her along that path.
The plan had been to scare her-just a warning. But when Sarah saw the figure in black suddenly rush out, she instinctively stepped back, lost her balance, and fell hard onto the uneven gravel.
Her leg got scraped up badly.
No broken bones, but the gashes were deep and bloody, that hadn't been Winston's intention.
But maybe this was karma, payback for what she did to Jean. Maybe that's what people meant by serves you right.
Even though she got hurt, the man in black still delivered Winston's message to her, word for word, "Stop going after Jean. Or this would just be the beginning." If she didn't believe it, she could try him-he'd destroy her.
And now, sitting here, Winston couldn't help feeling a bit of regret.
Clearly, Sarah hadn't listened, she was still targeting Jean.
He'd gone too easy on her the first time. If I'd known this would happen, I would've made sure she'd never be a problem again.
But, he couldn't deny a strange curiosity about her. Was this girl really not afraid at all? No remorse. Charging forward like a bull until she hit a wall...

Sienna raised her brows in surprise. “So you knew about this all along? Your sister's been suffering like this, and you didn't say a word to the rest of us..."
"I didn't think it was that serious at the time..." Jean murmured, pressing her lips together. Her eyes were still dark, laced with a fragile kind of sorrow. "There was no need to get you all involved."
"Who would've thought..." Jean raised a hand to cover her eyes. The small, ΟΜ vulnerable motion made the people in front of her ache with sympathy. "I really ran into something I can't handle."
Samuel couldn't help reaching out erhers.
and resting his hand gently overk His eyes shimmered with a soft, protective light. "Jean, don't be afraid. Just leave this to us." Ever since her major personality shift a few years back, Jean had becfiercely independent-she liked solving problems on her own.
That was one of the things the Ginger family admired most about her.
She never acted spoiled, never relied on being favored, always handled things herself.
This was one of the rare times...
They saw Jean show real vulnerability-hesitation, uncertainty, even helplessness.
