They should have driven every luxury car in the garage straight to Valedawn University and lined them up at the entrance. Let’s see who would dare gossip then.
Viola watched their flushed faces and felt secretly pleased.
She sighed softly, sounding sincere. “I know Seraphina isn’t doing it for money. But she didn’t grow up here. Maybe she picked up some small-town thinking. I’ll talk to her more. Girls need self-respect. Staying out all night just makes the family worry…
Before she could finish. Celestine shot up from the couch and pulled out her phone.
The call connected quickly.
Mom. Seraphina’s voice came through. “Sorry for being out so late. I didn’t mean to worry you.”
Celestine finally relaxed. It’s fine, sweetheart. Hearing your voice is enough. Are you coming home

“That’s fine. Don’t overwork yourself. Celestine said, then paused. “Where are you? I can send security.”
It was dark, and her daughter was beautiful. As a mother, safety was always her biggest concern.

The people obsessed with morality were often the ones with the dirtiest minds.
Viola had miscalculated badly.
She hurriedly put on a pitiful expression and wiped away tears. “Uncle, Aunt, I was just worried. I care foo much about Seraphina….
“She just started school. I was afraid she wouldn’t adapt, so I even messaged her homeroom teacher to ask
them to look after her…”
Crying, she pulled out her phone and showed their chat history.
“I just didn’t want her to be taken advantage of.”
