Ms. Foster kindly arranged seats for the two new students.
"Sure, I'll follow your arrangement. Thank you, Ms. Foster." Lily was very polite.
On the contrary, Lilith still didn't say anything. In fact, she looked at Lily disdainfully.
"You two can sit here." Ms. Foster brought them to their seats.
Lily's seat just so happened to be behind James and Jack.
At this moment, the six boys thought about their mother's earlier message, feeling confused while looking at Lilith. Is she really our sister? Something doesn't feel right, though. They were feeling hostile toward Lilith and even hoped that she wouldn't hurt Lily. This kind of feeling was very strange to them.
At this thought, James and Jack secretly used their high-tech watches to look into Lilith's background information.
"Class, who wants to answer this question?" Ms. Foster was conducting the class, and it was a question-and-answer session.
Lily understood Ms. Foster's question, so she raised her hand.
Just then, Lilith shouted all of a sudden before she burst out crying. "Why did you hit me?"
Lily looked at her, puzzled. She was a little enraged by that sudden accusation, so she rebuked, "I didn't even touch you."
However, Lilith didn't say anything and just hugged her head while crying.
Hearing that, Ms. Foster went up to them and comforted Lilith, saying, "It's okay, so don't cry. You two are classmates and good friends. Can you tell me what happened?"
"I didn't hit her. She just started crying herself," Lily answered first, her face innocent. In fact, it was slightly red from the anxiety and anger she was feeling.
Ms. Foster hadn't seen the situation clearly just now, so she couldn't conclude anything. As such, she could only comfort Lilith by saying, "Don't cry. Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding. Can you shake hands and reconcile with her?"
However, Lilith refused to listen to Ms. Foster as she kept crying non-stop.
At this moment, James spoke up coldly. "Don't we have surveillance cameras in the classroom, Ms. Foster? We can look at the footage and find out what happened."
As soon as Lilith heard about the surveillance cameras, she stopped crying immediately. She then lifted her head and looked at Ms. Foster; there weren't even any tears in her eyes at that point.
She then said, "It's okay, Ms. Foster. Perhaps Lily didn't do it on purpose. I just need her to apologize to me. Let's not waste other children's class time."
In other words, if the seven siblings kept holding onto this, they would be wasting other students' time.
James scoffed as soon as he heard that. He didn't know that such a young girl could be so manipulative and brilliant at mind games; she was really something. A person like this definitely wasn't his sister.
With a darkened face, he went forward and stared at Lilith. "My sister said that she didn't touch you, so why must she apologize? We're definitely looking at the footage. I don't want my sister to be left with a bad impression because of your lie."
His dominating tone was exactly the same as Hanson's, and it shocked Lilith.
Since Lily was innocent, she said furiously, "If I'm at fault, I'd most certainly apologize to her, Ms. Foster. However, I just wanted to raise my hand and answer the question. I didn't even touch her."
At this moment, Lilith looked at Lily, who was still coming down on her. The former disliked her even more. I'm supposed to be the little princess here. How can I lose face in front of this girl from the mountains?
She then said in an aloof manner, "Never mind, I'll let it slide this time. If you say you didn't do it, sure. I'll forgive you."
