Mia said angrily, "What do you mean by I lost? D*mn it! Neil Brown, you're a big guy. And you take advantage of me when I'm injured? If you want, I can fight you alone when I have recovered!" Neil said, "I can defeat you without effort if you are injured. Why do I have to wait for you to recover?" Mia's face was full of disbelief. "Neil Brown, where has your morality gone to?"

"Oh my God—he had someone hit Yvette's sister with a car just so Yvette could take first place?" "This isn't cheating anymore. This is attempted murder!

The Swintons have money and power, so they think they can turn someone's life into a stepping stone for a fake genius?" "You didn't just ruin Jovie's future. You destroyed the fairness every student in this state deserved!" One furious guest hurled his wineglass at Yvette.

he said seriously, but with a little smile hidden in the corner. "You can't make me do this, I don't feel anything for him... damn daddy, I don't love him!" I screamed and let some tears fall.

He had seen too many such cases, not just among even among his so-called relatives. Emma smiled. “It’s really about conscience, isn’t it? “With a clear conscience, you won’t lose your sense of reason. Otherwise, you’d become reckless,” Emma reflected. “The law is the ultimate boundary, but beyond that, personal morality is what restrains us. “And not everyone lacks morals. There are people like Daniel and then there are good people like you,” Emma said, gazing at Landon with admiration. She believed that while sticking to one’s morals and being a good person often led to being taken advantage of by cunning individuals, good people still existed.

I kept my face blank, leaving it up to him to figure out if I found his concern offensive or not. It was disrespect to the codes I live by for him to question my morality like that, and he knew it.

"What's the problem, Shelly?" Shelly gnawed at her bottom lip thinking about how she'd ran out of her father's office scared shitless of the truth staring right at her in her face. She needed to speak to someone and right now it seemed like it was going to be him. "Do you believe in alternate universe?" Chase regarded her carefully before pulling out a chair and sat down.

Be not simply good; be good for something."

He is utterly unredeemable and only cares about his scientific explorations, which are totally devoid of, as he would put it, ‘sentimental attachments to a subjective notion of morality’.
