NovelGoldChapter 129 Claire let out a derisive snort, clearly unimpressed.
"Maintaining order? More like maintaining Vanessa's innocence!" she retorted sharply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The patient isn't complaining about the noise or exhaustion, nor are they asking to rest. You're in such a hurry to get us out because you've got something to hide." "How dare you speak like that?" The headmistress's voice rose, anger sparking in her eyes.
"I dare speak the truth. Even as the headmistress, you don't have the right to stop the patient from identifying the real culprit in her attack. If you continue to interfere, I'll have no choice but to suspect you're intentionally shielding a murderer." "Today, Irene must identify the assailant, and no one will stop her." Claire's firm stance only served to enrage the headmistress further.
The headmistress's face darkened, and a vein pulsed on her forehead. She felt an overwhelming urge to silence Claire, but with so many onlookers, she restrained herself. "You're utterly unreasonable. If you keep causing trouble, I'll have security escort you out." Claire, unfazed, stepped forward and locked eyes with the headmistress, "Go ahead, call them. Let the whole hospital see how the esteemed headmistress protects a murderer. Let's see how long you can hold onto your position then."

Nathan, witnessing the headmistress being cornered, felt a pang of sympathy and dashed forward, grabbing Claire's arm with fiery eyes. "Why are you embarrassing us? Get hnow!" Claire shook off her father's grip, her eyes blazing. "You've always favored Vanessa, the adopted daughter, leaving your own flesh and blood to suffer unjustly for five years! If you're not ashamed, why should I be? Today, I'm standing up for justice." "You..." Nathan's face turned ashen with rage, yet he was powerless against Claire's resolve.

"Claire, it's not like that. You're the daughter I carried for nine months. How could I bear to see you suffer? Everything I do is for your own good." For her good? By letting her endure injustice tand again? "I've been bearing the blfor someone else for five years. What I want now is for Irene to identify the real culprit here and now. If Mrs. Linwood truly cared about me, she wouldn't stop me. It's unfair not only tobut also to Irene." Nathan and Adah were left speechless, knowing the truth better than anyone.

Seeing Vanessa's fear, the headmistress's heart ached, and Claire's defiance only fueled her anger. She pointed a finger at Claire, "If you keep this up, I'll call the police!" Upon hearing the word "police," Claire's lips curled into a cold smile. "Call them then. I'd love to tear away someone's mask of deceit in front of the officers."
