Just as I was about to phone the Education Bureau, Lila let out a sharp cry and collapsed.Lila was deathly pale as she looked down. I rushed over, reaching down to support her. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I realized that Melody had hurt Lila with chalk.I rushed to the infirmary, carrying Lila. "Excuse me, my daughter was severely injured with chalk. Can you please take a look?"However, the school nurse, Elisa Sanders, merely glanced at Lila and continued scrolling on her phone. "I can't. Just get her to a hospital."Tears streamed down my cheeks as I begged, "It'll take at least 15 minutes to get there. I don't think she can take it. Please just bandage her up at least!"Elisa clicked her tongue impatiently and shooed Lila off the bed. "And how would a school have the necessary facilities? Don't dirty my infirmary with your poverty and poor hygiene!""Ms. Sanders, my daughter bumped into a pauper. Please disinfect her," said Vanessa.As soon as Vanessa walked

The chief of the Intelligence Agency, Joseph Chastain, ordered his men to surround the school and evacuate most of the students and parents.The principal, Elias Hammond, was startled by the commotion and hurried out to greet them. "May I ask who you are?"He saw the medal on Joseph's chest and realized that this was no ordinary civilian. Forcing a smile, Elias stepped forward to shake his hand."What brings you here, sir? Is this an unannounced inspection? You should've told me earlier so I could welcome you properly."Joseph glanced around coldly and said, "Where is Lila Keats? Ensure that her bullies remain. I'm here to ask what the hell the administrators have been doing this whole time!"I hurried over. Seeing Joseph here filled me with hope."Lila's covered in injuries and needs urgent medical attention, or she'll bleed to death. Send someone out for coagulants, now!"Joseph was equally anxious and enraged. "How did this happen? I always have some medicine in my car. Hurry

"Let me tell you exactly who Lila is, Vanessa. She's from a family of covert operatives, and she's under the protection of the Intelligence Agency. "As agency operatives, Mr. Chastain and I are fully authorized to take Melody in for questioning as a suspect for harming Lila," I said icily.Joseph was equally resolute. "Do you think someone would go far enough to hurt themselves if they were just acting?"Melody Caldwell, I'm authorized to take you to the police for questioning. Furthermore, the school has failed to handle this seriously and is trying to sweep it under the rug. I am also authorized to investigate this school!"As soon as the order was given, Vanessa and Melody were both subdued and handcuffed. "Come with me!" said Joseph.Vanessa finally began to panic, shouting with both outrage and humiliation, "How dare you take us away? My husband works for the Education Bureau! I'm calling him now!"She struggled against her restraints as she phoned for help. The person wh

"It's all Vanessa's fault," Harold continued. "She influenced my daughter. Since Melody is so young, please let this slide."Vanessa wanted to hide behind Harold, but he ruthlessly put her on the spot.She was so upset that she burst into tears and cursed at him, "Harold Caldwell, you heartless bastard! Didn't you spoil her? What does this have to do with me?"At this critical moment, nobody wanted to take the blame for raising a daughter like Melody.However, now that Josiah had stepped in, he wasn't going to let anyone off the hook. He pointed at Harold while addressing the police officers behind him."Harold Caldwell, who has abused his position to allow his daughter's bullying and threatened students with exam eligibility, is unfit to remain in the Education Bureau."Melody Caldwell and her mother, Vanessa, are suspected of harming a family member of a covert operative. Take them away for interrogation."Just as the school administration thought they could escape unscathed,
