CHAPTER 13: CHAPTER 13: TEACHING YOU HOW TO BE A DECENT PERSON

This little bitch is so malicious, Dad will definitely kick her out of the house, and from now on, the Stanton Family’s eldest daughter will still be her.

She definitely doesn’t want to be the second lady!

"Drive faster, I need to get home immediately!"

Clarissa Stanton hurriedly urged the driver.

The car raced forward and quickly arrived at Stanton Manor.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw the villa lights brightly lit, as if no one had gone to sleep.

Surely, everyone was worried about her safety, so no one had slept.

She was indeed the most precious little princess of the Stanton Family.

Clarissa Stanton felt a secret pride as she walked confidently into the villa’s grand doors.

Clarissa could already foresee that once she entered, Stella and Henry would shower her with warm words.

Then, at the right moment, she’d point out that the snake was probably let loose by Summer to harm her; thus, Summer could pack her bags and get out!

No, Summer didn’t bring anything in the first place; she could be kicked out right away!

The more Clarissa thought about it, the more excited she became, quickening her pace.

Just imagining the scene of Summer being kicked out made her blood rush, nearly forgetting the pain from her wounds and the discomfort after the poisoning.

"Mom!"

At last, Clarissa Stanton reached the hall.

The hall was brightly lit, and all the servants stood silently, the atmosphere as heavy as if something bad had just happened.

This was not how she imagined returning home.

"Mom, did something happen?" Clarissa Stanton asked, puzzled by Stella’s unusual silence.

Stella walked up to her, eyes filled with exasperated disappointment.

Yet seeing Clarissa’s pale face, she couldn’t scold her, only stiffly asking, "How are you? Why did you leave the hospital in such a hurry?"

Clarissa remembered the "important matter" and ignored the odd atmosphere in the hall, saying, "Mom, I’m fine, I came back because I have something important to tell Dad!"

Stella felt a bad premonition rise in her heart and instinctively grabbed Clarissa, saying, "Let’s talk about it tomorrow. After such a big event today, wait until you’re healed, then we’ll talk."

"No, Mom, I must say it now!"

If she missed this opportunity, she wasn’t sure if there’d be a better way to get rid of Summer.

She couldn’t wait any longer!!

Clarissa Stanton thought her mother was too indecisive; at this time, one should be decisive and swift!

So she directly pushed Stella aside and walked towards Henry.

"Dad! I have something to tell you!"

While speaking, Clarissa glanced deeply at Summer, her eyes full of arrogance and glee.

Summer understood Clarissa’s gaze, tilting her head, eyes full of intrigue.

Henry’s face was stern, coldly asking, "What do you want to say?"

If Clarissa admitted her mistake on her own, he might consider forgiving her this time.

However—

Clarissa immediately said, "Dad, the venomous snake that bit me was placed in my room by Summer! She can’t stand me and wants me dead! You definitely can’t keep such a malicious woman around, Dad!"

Henry was taken aback, completely unable to predict that Clarissa would not only refuse to repent but also try to blame Summer.

How had he raised such a foolish and wicked daughter?!

Seeing Henry not respond, Clarissa thought he was still hesitant to kick Summer out, quickly adding, "Dad! You can’t be soft-hearted! If she couldn’t kill me this time, there’ll definitely be a next time! If she can harm me, she can harm you too!"

Henry’s eyelid twitched violently.

Immediately, he couldn’t hold back his anger any longer, raising his hand to slap Clarissa hard.

"Slap——"

A clear slap echoed through the hall.

This slap was much harder than the one Stella had given Summer, and Clarissa only let out a "pfft" before spitting out blood onto the floor.

Along with the blood on the floor was a white tooth.

She had a tooth knocked out by Henry’s slap!

Clarissa Stanton was stunned.

What... happened?

Dad should have slapped Summer, not her??

Clarissa Stanton, in disbelief, held her face.

Just as she was about to ask Henry why he hit her, Stella rushed over and pulled her, saying, "Don’t say anything, just go upstairs!"

"No! Why should I go upstairs?!"

Clarissa Stanton was extremely aggrieved and angry.

She once again shrugged off Stella’s hand, turned to Henry, and questioned, "Dad, why did you hit me? Clearly, it was Summer who did something wrong. Why are you so biased, hitting me, the victim?"

"Victim? You still think you’re the victim?" Henry was so angry he couldn’t even speak, just breathing heavily.

"Aren’t I? I was hospitalized, and the doctor said if I had been a few minutes later, I wouldn’t have made it back..." Clarissa said, her voice trembling with fear.

Summer smiled faintly, the smile quickly fading, she stepped forward and said, "Sister, even now, you still won’t tell the truth? Do you want to drive Dad to death?"

Clarissa scowled disdainfully, "When did it become your turn to speak in this house?"

Summer raised an eyebrow, saying, "It seems you still don’t know that everyone is aware of your misdeeds."

Clarissa, feeling a bit guilty, clenched her fist and asked, "What... do you mean?"

Summer chuckled, "It seems you didn’t know, your nanny has confessed everything. You had her buy the snake to kill me, but the snake crawled into your room from the balcony... Sister, to put it bluntly, this is your own doing!"

Hearing this, Clarissa Stanton stood there wide-eyed in shock.

The nanny... betrayed her?

She suddenly thought of the odd atmosphere in the hall when she first entered the house, and Stella’s unusual attempts to stop her from talking.

So, did everyone already know the truth?

No wonder! No wonder Summer’s gaze was so provocative!

No wonder Dad had slapped her!

Clarissa Stanton suddenly panicked, grabbing Stella’s sleeve, "Mom..."

Despite everything, Stella’s heart ached for her daughter, holding her close and saying softly, "Don’t say anything, come upstairs with me!"

Finally, Clarissa obeyed, no longer daring to say anything, obediently following Stella upstairs.

"Stop!" Henry said coldly, "From today, you will stay in your room and reflect for a month, not allowed to step out! I will hire the best moral tutor to teach you how to be a decent person!"

Clarissa Stone was so terrified her blood ran cold.

Everything in this house was dictated by Henry; without his love and trust, she might very well become the one kicked out!

At this thought, Clarissa’s already pale face turned even paler.

She regretted what she did, but now regret was useless, it was too late.
