Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 135

Wesley continued, "I'm telling the truth. I was nice to you before only because you were Mira's sister. I also saw how frail you were and felt sorry that you grew up poor and suffered so much. But sympathy and pity aren't love. Get rid of the baby. It's impossible for us."

She never expected Wesley to say something like that.

Mara seemed to go mad, muttering over and over, "Impossible, impossible…"

In truth, after the situation came to light today, her parents and Ethan had all advised her to have a quiet abortion.

It was her own unwillingness to accept it that led her to call Wesley, prompted by that person.

"It's best to blow this up, ruin the engagement between the Evans and Xie families, and make Wesley marry you."

That was what led to the scene just now.

But if she blew this up, her already tarnished reputation would only get worse.

That person was ruthless and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals; he wouldn't spare a thought for her.

***

At Emberline Fine Dining, Mira finished enjoying the drama. Seeing it was getting late, she went to bed.

Her next move was simple: find a way to get the news to Natalie, then sit back and watch the show.

Mira guessed that Mr. Porter wouldn't let this matter rest so easily.

Mara had gotten in over her head. She was trapped, and Shane would definitely use this opportunity to stir up trouble.

Given Mr. Porter's ruthlessness, Mara was probably headed for a major fall.

For the rest, she didn't need to interfere. She would just enjoy the drama. Besides, she didn't want the matter to become public knowledge.

Even though Mira had left the Mercer family, she was still her twin sister. People who loved drama wouldn't care whether they had disowned each other or not.

For the time being, neither Mara nor Mr. Porter would have the energy to bother her, which meant Mr. Harth would also have some peace.

The next day, when Mira went to school, she noticed Mara was absent. Wesley, however, was there, studying as usual, seemingly unaffected.

Liora asked Mira, "Did Mara drop out, or did she transfer classes?"

Mr. Harth must have been passing by after teaching his other class. He taught English to two sections.

"Do you know why Mara wasn't in school today?"

"Didn't she call in sick?"

"She did. Her brother Ethan said she was ill."

"Then she's probably just sick. But don't worry, they'll be too busy to give you any trouble for a while. Just focus on teaching us. If someone does try to mess with you later on, I can handle it."

Mr. Harth had an incredible command of literature. His lectures were witty and engaging, and the atmosphere in his class was lively. Attending his class was a true literary pleasure.

He was also a man of integrity, quite simply the best English teacher she had ever had in her student career.

Most of her previous teachers had been rather rigid and serious.

This was the first time she had such a young, energetic teacher, and she really didn't want him to leave.
