Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 921 - Kabanata 930

It was important to be humble when necessary, and this was also what I truly believed in. No matter how excellent a teacher was, if they encountered unmotivated students, there wouldn't be any good results.That child who got into the middle school in the city must have had both talent and diligence. Colin just played a role in encouraging and teaching him according to his abilities."Oh, no. Mr. White is very attentive when he's teaching the children. There's not a single child in the village who doesn't like him," Mr. Miller said as he sat down on a stool. Then, he lit a cigarette and took a puff, squinting his eyes contentedly.Mrs. Miller came into the house carrying a large basket. As she put it on the table, I saw that it was filled with bright red apples. They were freshly washed and still glistening with water droplets. These apples looked fresher than the ones I had seen in supermarkets and smelled wonderfully fragrant."Go ahead and take one. These are from our own apple

After the landslide, the school became inaccessible. So, only those who were there knew what had happened. Up until now, I had only heard Colin's side of the story. Perhaps there were things even he didn't know."It was raining heavily that day. Mr. White was done with his lessons and was standing by the window as we worked on our assignments."He noticed the mountain slope becoming unstable and wanted to ask us to run away. But we were quite far from home. The landslide would catch us before we could reach home safely. So, he immediately told us to move our desks to the corners of the room and stand on them. "Then, he lifted the teacher's desk to block the window closest to the corner."I'm fat and slow. So, when I tried to climb up the desk, I fell. By then, mud had started pouring in through other windows, and I was about to get buried. Mr. White picked me up onto the desk, but he got hit on the head by a falling desk and fainted."Miss, I was saved by Mr. White. I wanted to

Any decent person with a conscience wouldn't have done such a thing."What happened next? How did Mr. White regain consciousness? Was she the one who saved him?""Of course not! After she got buried, she started crying and screaming like she was dying, asking us to save her. None of us were crying, but she cried so hard that I think Mr. White woke up because of her. Her voice was so loud that it was terrifying." Tom shivered and hugged himself. He was clearly traumatized by the memory.It seemed Jasmine had left a deep negative impression on him.I couldn't help but find it a little amusing that Colin, who fainted, was awakened by her cries."After Mr. White woke up for a while, the landslide stopped. Adam and Jim were badly injured. After treating their wounds, Mr. White went to dig her out. I helped too, and my fingers bled from all the digging."But she kept crying and saying things like, 'As long as you're okay, I don't care about myself.' She kept saying not to worry about

Tom, being very sensible, patted my hand and spoke like an adult, "Miss, is that woman doing something bad to Mr. White? Whatever you need me to do, just tell me. I'll do it well."I was surprised at his sharpness and intelligence. He saw through things more clearly than most adults. He got to the crux of the matter in one sentence."How did you know?" I asked, puzzled.A teenager like him correctly guessing Jasmine's actions was truly impressive.Tom gave me a proud smile. Then, he said mischievously, "Of course, I know. That woman is a terrible person, and we hate her. She always complained about us being dirty. Once, I asked her what a bar in the city was like, but she pinched her nose and told me to stay away from her. It made me cry."She told Grandpa she wanted to help develop our village, but she didn't do anything. She just followed Mr. White around all day, bringing him water and even cooking for him, but he never accepted anything he gave her. "There was even one time

However, it was pointless to think about all that now.The most urgent task on hand was to clarify the situation and see justice for ourselves.When Jessie and Nico returned, I briefly told them what I had learned today.After Jasmine's post on the forum, the two had firmly stood by us, trusting us completely. Naturally, I didn't hide anything from them. With them around, I could also discuss our next steps.Nico was so angry that he turned pale. He cursed Jasmine, calling her shameless and despicable. He said that she would have to face her karma someday. It was quite a scholarly insult, reflecting the limits of his vocabulary as a top student.Despite the outburst, he was fundamentally an upright person with strong morals and values.Jessie was much calmer. She told me that if I needed to return to the city, she could arrange for a car immediately.I called Colin again, and he agreed to my suggestion to bring Tom back to the city with us.The next morning, I went to see Mr. M
