A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy's Woman novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Silas stepped forward with a light sneer on his lips. “Evan, is this your homeroom teacher?”

Eloise finally noticed the refined–looking man standing behind them. His presence was no less commanding than Henry’s

uncle’s from earlier.

She stammered slightly. “And who are you?”

“I’m Evan’s uncle. Miss, you’re quite young, but you’ve already mastered the art of looking down on people.”

He then calmly made a phone call. “Mr. Walsh, I need to review the surveillance footage from the first–grade hallway. Yes, my nephew got into a fight with a classmate, and their homeroom teacher is being unreasonable, so I’d like to see what actually happened.

“Don’t worry. We’ll pay whatever medical fees are owed, but anyone who owes my nephew an apology won’t be let off either.

Eloise visibly panicked. She hadn’t expected Evan’s family to have direct connections with the principal, Avery Walsh.

“Listen here, mister, we can talk this through. Why involve the principal?”

Silas‘ calm eyes swept over her coolly. “My wife just tried to talk this through with you. Weren’t you the one who refused? This school is big enough. I’ll just find someone who can understand reason.”

The matter was resolved far more easily than Bethany had expected. The classroom surveillance recorded both video and

audio.

The footage clearly showed Henry provoking Evan.

Evan had only pushed Henry after being provoked beyond endurance, and Henry reflexively threw a punch that caught Evan’s lip. Only then did the two start grappling.

In the latter half of the footage, once Evan recovered, he basically had Henry pinned down and didn’t take any more hits.

The chain of events was clear now. Both were at fault, but the one the biased teacher had demanded they apologize to was the one who owed a heavier apology.

Eloise was reprimanded, and a new teacher was set to take over the children’s class tomorrow.

Avery also promised to personally speak with Henry’s parents and have him apologize to Evan in front of the entire class.

By the time the three of them left the school, the evening lights had just come on.

Bethany drove her car home first, since Silas said he needed to take Evan back.

The two didn’t exchange a word after. Silas kept waiting for Bethany to bring up how Noah had made things difficult for her.

Unfortunately, even after he returned from the Brennan residence, he never heard a word of complaint from her.

Although his nephew had given him some account of events, Silas didn’t know exactly what the two had said in the hallway.

Noah was the man Bethany had loved for years. And Silas‘ pride kept him from asking more.

When Jane saw them return separately, she sensed the awkwardness between them again.

She delivered a bowl of broth to each of their rooms with knowing intent. This was a secret recipe Jeremy had personally given her, saying it would be very nourishing for them both.

Jane diligently instructed, “Mrs. Brennan, make sure to drink the broth while it’s hot. It’s very good for your health.”

Bethany smiled and thanked her.

Jane then gave Silas the same instructions. With that, her mission was accomplished.

That night, Bethany felt unbearably hot all over and couldn’t sleep. Her mouth was dry, so she reluctantly got out of bed to get water from the fridge.
