Chapter 222 The Correct Move
From inside the restroom, Chloe listened in stunned silence.
She disliked Iris, sure.
But that didn’t stop her from recognizing that the Sutton family had absolutely no shame.
They really dared to ask for anything.
They wanted Iris to help her adoptive parents‘ biological daughter get into Capital Academy?
If Iris could pull strings for anyone, shouldn’t Chloe be first in line?
Even she had never received that kind of favor.
Who did Olivia think she was?
Iris, meanwhile, had already expected this.
Clearly, they still hadn’t given up.

“As I’ve already said,” she replied calmly, “if someone doesn’t meet the admission requirements, I can’t get them in.”
The last remnants of Vanessa’s patience finally evaporated.
“So you’re refusing to listen when we’re trying to be nice? You ungrateful brat!”
“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to the restroom.”
“Stop right there!” Vanessa grabbed Iris by the arm. “You made Olivia suffer so many times when you lived with us. No matter how you look at it, you owe her compensation!”
Vanessa’s newly done nails were sharp.
Iris frowned and was about to shake her off when a cold voice interrupted.
“What exactly are you doing?”
Ares walked toward them.
With a few effortless steps, he inserted himself between the two women and shielded Iris behind him.
“Are you okay?”
Vanessa recognized him immediately. He was Iris’s biggest supporter. But in Vanessa’s mind, the Sutton family was on the verge of rising to prominence. She wasn’t intimidated anymore.
“Oh, it’s you” She folded her arms. “Maybe you should learn how to control your woman. We’ve raised for years, and she still doesn’t know the first thing about manners.”

Ares gently took hold of Iris’s wrist.

The moment he saw the angry red nail marks circling her pale skin, his expression darkened instant
His voice dropped several degrees.
“What happened?”
Iris answered honestly. “They want me to get their daughter into Capital Academy.”
Then she held up the check Samuel had given her.
“They said this was the payment.”
“If it isn’t enough, we can add more.” Samuel hurriedly chimed in.
Ares took the check.
One glance at the amount was enough.
A mocking laugh escaped him.
Then, right in front of them, he tore the check into pieces.
Rip.
Rip.
Rip.
“You-!”
Vanessa’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“What are you doing?!”
She lunged forward in a panic, trying to stop him.
Unfortunately, Ares was much taller than she was.
All she could do was watch helplessly as the check became confetti.
After tearing it apart, Ares ignored her entirely.
Instead, he continued holding Iris’s injured wrist, gently rubbing the reddened skin with obvious concern.
Seeing that neither of them paid any attention to her, Vanessa raised her voice again..
“We’re talking to you! You-”
“Get lost.”

The two icy words cut through the hallway.
Samuel’s face darkened immediately. “You call yourself one of Capital City’s elite, and that’s how speak to a woman?”
Ares didn’t even look at him.
“You too. Get lost.”
The temperature around him seemed to drop several degrees.
Only when Iris lightly squeezed his hand did he stop himself from physically throwing them out.
After all, she had specifically told him not to interfere with her plans.
The Suttons stood there with green faces.
Being told to get lost twice in a row left them speechless with rage.

“I’ll say this one last time.” Iris looked directly at them. “There is absolutely no chance that Olivia will be attending Capital Academy through me.”
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Ares immediately followed, their hands still linked together.
“That brat thinks she’s so special!” Vanessa hissed after they left. “Just wait until my threefold returns arrive. She’ll regret this one day!”
Samuel looked equally furious.
Yet his thoughts quickly drifted back to Olivia.
If Iris was a dead end, how exactly were they supposed to get Olivia into Capital Academy?
“Forget Iris,” Vanessa said suddenly. “Once the money arrives, let’s go straight to the source of the problem.”
Samuel frowned. “You mean… the principal? But would someone like that even agree to meet us?”
Vanessa scoffed. “What’s so difficult about that? Once the money arrives, we’ll donate a building to the school.”
