Chapter 108: Then Kneel Down
Translator: 549690339
Mag Evans helped Fay White up and gently comforted her, “Miss White, please stand up first. I’ll persuade my sister to forgive you. Now let’s go to the infirmary to treat your wounds, okay?”
Fay White shook off her hand with a determined look on her face, “If Miss
Evans doesn’t forgive me, I won’t stand up.”
Xaviera Evans finally understood the situation. These two were in cahoots to set her up, wanting to morally bind her?
She laughed lightly, her voice containing indifference, “Well, if you don’t want to stand up, just keep kneeling.”
There was a deathly silence at the school entrance.
No one had expected Xaviera Evans to say such a thing…
After a brief moment of shock, Fay White cried out and yelled, “Do you indeed want to push me to my death? You’re indifferent even when you see me kneeling. You’re cold-blooded, heartless, and care nothing for human life, right?”
Xaviera Evans frowned, “This is a society ruled by law. When speaking, we need to value evidence. Whoever’s trying to kill you, go trouble them instead. If all else fails, you can call the police. You get beaten and don’t go to the police, but come to me instead. What kind of reasoning is that?”
Fay White’s face turned red with anger, “Of course, I come to you because all this is your fault! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be so miserable!”
The surrounding students also came to their senses and joined Fay White in condemning Xaviera Evans, “Can’t you feel anything when you see a living person kneeling before you? It’s just a word of forgiveness. What’s so hard about saying it?”
“Exactly, is forgiveness more important than a person’s life? Just by saying one simple word, you could save a life. Or is a person’s life of less value than a single sentence in your eyes? Today, I’ve truly seen some things. So this is the world view of the rich? You offend me, so I have to kill you?”
Mag Evans also covered her lips, looking at Xaviera Evans in disbelief, “Sister, how could you become like this? Miss White is wrong, but she has already realized her mistakes… What’s wrong with being magnanimous and forgiving her? Our parents taught us that nothing is more important than life. Have you forgotten their teachings?”
Xaviera Evans looked up coldly, “Didn’t your parents teach you not to meddle in other people’s affairs? Especially when you don’t know the whole backstory?” She glanced at the surrounding students and continued, “The school teaches you knowledge so you can know right from wrong and have a sense of shame, not so you can judge others freely just because you have a voice.”
The surrounding students glared at her angrily.
Xaviera Evans suddenly laughed, “Why am I wasting my breath with you all? How about this…” She pointed to a girl outside the crowd who was dressed quite well, “Given your clothing, your family should be average, but I just saw you getting out of a black Mercedes. From your family’s financial situation, you shouldn’t be able to afford that car, so it means you’re being kept by someone, right?”
The students quickly turned their heads, their gaze focusing on the girl whose face turned red, “Bullshit, you’re slandering me! You’re spreading rumors!” Xaviera Evans’s eyes were indifferent, “Oh, then I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
“What’s the use of saying sorry? Do you know how powerful rumors can be? Do you have any idea how a casual remark from you might make it impossible for me to stay in school, how the students around me would look at me? Do you know that your casual words could ruin me? And you call yourself a specially-appointed teacher at this school? What qualifications do you have to be a teacher!” The girl was furious.
After the girl finished, Xaviera Evans feigned surprise, “I’ve already apologized, isn’t that enough? Besides, what you just described hasn’t happened yet, so why are you so angry? Shouldn’t we be more magnanimous in life?”
“You…” The girl wanted to retort but suddenly realized that this speech sounded familiar. Wasn’t this what they had just said to persuade Xaviera Evans?
Xaviera Evans smiled again, “You see, when things happen to you, you refuse to forgive. It’s like not knowing the pain of being hit by a plank until it happens to you. When things don’t affect you, you can freely judge and criticize others, but when it falls on you, you wish those who insulted you would just die. Ah… what a bunch of hypocrites.”
After dealing with the curious students, Xaviera Evans turned her gaze to Mag Evans, “I almost forgot about you, my dear sister. You’re pretending to be the good guy here, urging me to forgive Miss White. But have you forgotten that the posts were made by your alt account? You were the one who first led the hateful remarks from the teachers and students towards me.. As the chief culprit, what right do you have to accuse me here?”
