Various opinions emerged endlessly on the internet. There were praises for Wilfrid and also criticisms toward Nigel and Maggie. Some defended the Beauvort family, and others felt unjust for Neera. It was all quite lively. 

When Wilfrid returned to his dormitory and saw his parents’ accusations, he was so angry that his hands shook. 

He thought of everything his sister had done for him over the years and the care she showed him since they were reunited. The more he thought about it, the more he wallowed in sadness and shame. 

When his sister was slandered, he couldn’t be of help, and that had always been a thorn in his flesh. 

Perhaps it’s time for me to do something now. Even if doing so might result in a complete fallout with my family, I can no longer tolerate this. 

With that in mind, he gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and made a decision. 

Before the online buzz had yet to subside, a post from a new account, which had never been used, soared to the top of the trending searches. 

The content of the message was about Neera. 

And the owner of that new account was none other than Wilfrid. 

This post detailed all the things that Neera had done for him since childhood, enumerating all the kindness he was shown. It even made public the matter of her giving him a bank card. 

He stated that he had never touched a single penny from the bank card, and the reason he was speaking up was to clear his sister’s name, proving that she was not the ingrate their parents made her out to be. 

That Twitter post, with its lengthy content, was written with utmost sincerity, each word striking a chord and eliciting empathy from everyone. 

A comment read: Ah, the brother is also pitiful. After all, it was his own parents who did such terrible things. He must. have tried to persuade them many times, but seeing his parents’ stubbornness, he had no choice but to side with Ms. Neera and defend her. 

Another person typed: Didn’t some people previously say that the brother abandoned his own parents to curry favor with Ms. Neera because she’s wealthy and influential? Isn’t this a slap in the face? He didn’t spend a single cent from the bank card Ms. Neera willingly gave him. Instead, he worked part-time jobs with his own two hands to support himself without relying on his parents or his sister. Such a brother is truly upright! I just want to ask those with a negative mentality whether the slap in the face hurt. 

Someone else commented: Great! Some people are insidious deep within, always assuming others are just like them, begrudging others’ happiness. I’m proud of the brother. He’s the epitome of a stand-up guy! 

The next read: The brother is truly admirable, daring to stand up for his sister. Both siblings are such kind-hearted people. I hope they won’t let this incident ruin their relationship. It’s really not worth it. Even though they are not related by blood, their bond seems stronger than those with blood ties. 

The subsequent comment seconded: I think so, too. Sometimes, it’s hard to define familial ties. The people closest to you may not always have your best interests at heart. Look at this shameless couple, for instance. It’s clear that they see the brother as someone they can exploit, using the fact that he’s working part-time to slander Ms. Neera. Fortunately, the brother has a conscience. Otherwise, it would be hard for Ms. Neera to clear her name in this lifetime. 

Someone typed: Going off tangent here, am I the only one who feels like this is some grand soap opera? I’m downright curious about what would happen next. I’m on the edge of my seat.

The following comment read: Keep a lookout for me. 

Somebody else echoed: I’m staying tuned. Tag me if there’s an update. 

When Neera saw the news, quite some time had already passed. 

She was stunned for a moment and immediately called Wilfrid. 

After a few rings, the person on the other end finally picked up the call. “Sis.”

“Didn’t I tell you to stay out of it? Did you have a falling out with your family?” Neera didn’t bother with small talk but asked that question directly, her tone full of concern. 

On the other end, Wilfrid hung his head. After a few seconds, he replied, “Yeah, we’ve had a falling out. I told them I wouldn’t go back if they refused to apologize. Of course, I’ll still pay for their living expenses and send them money every month after getting paid. But… I don’t want to go back and face them anymore. In fact, I don’t even how I should face them in the future. I’m sorry, Sis.” 

Neera felt a pang of heartache threaded with a sense of helplessness. 

“Why are you apologizing? Haven’t I told you that this matter has nothing to do with you? You haven’t done anything wrong against me, so there’s no need to say sorry. Instead, look at you. Is it worth it to make things so tense with your family? I really don’t want you to be caught between a rock and a difficult place. Nor do I want you to have a falling out with your family because of me. Moreover, I don’t want these trivial matters to affect your future.” 

This time, Wilfrid responded quickly, his tone firm without a hint of hesitation. 

“It’s worth it, Sis. You’ve always been there for me since we were kids, always on my side. Even when you were treated unfairly, you never complained or took it out on me. You’ve always been good to me. Now, it’s time for me to be there for you. I don’t have much capability now, and there’s not much I can do, but I can tell right from wrong. I’m sorry for what my parents have done to you. I’m heartbroken by their actions. Even more so, I’m angry that they refuse to admit their mistakes and keep blaming you instead. You shouldn’t have had to endure so much injustice. You could have been well cared for and lived happily. They are in the wrong. Even though I’m their son, I can’t help but feel ashamed of their actions.” 

Neera understood the pain and struggle within him. No matter how horrible they were, those were his biological parents who had raised him for over a decade.
