Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Joshua was undeniably an exceptional man. The way he spoke made it clear he had a soft spot for his fiancée. Sheldon couldn’t help but regard Shermaine in a whole new light.

Though Sheldon didn’t interact much with wealthy businessmen–being an academic and all–living in Bastere meant he’d heard plenty about Joshua A man in his thirties, disciplined and scandal–free, Joshua embodied self–control and dedication as a workaholic. His contributions to the nation’s technological progress were unmatched by most of his peers.

‘Shermaine must be one remarkable young woman,‘ Sheldon thought. He cleared his throat and said, “She’s a bit young, isn’t she?”

Joshua didn’t deny it. Shermain’s age didn’t matter to him; he would take good care of her. “Next month, we’re having an engagement party. I’ll have Bradley send you an invitation,” he said.

“I’ll try to make it.”

“Great.”

However, once Shermaine arrived at Basterel University, Sheldon’s view changed entirely. He started to think that Joshua was the lucky one to be engaged to Shermaine.

Just when everyone thought the broadcast was over, something unexpected happened. A young woman suddenly said, “It wasn’t Wendelyn. It was me,

Yvonne Allen.”

Inside the broadcasting studio, Erin froze. But as a student of Basterel University, a very prestigious institution, she was smart enough to quickly piece the situation together–Yvonne was stepping up as a scapegoat to clear Wendelyn’s name.

She couldn’t accept the possibility that Wendelyn, the real mastermind, might walk away scot–free. Biting her lip, she asked, “How much did Wendelyn pay you to take the fall for her at your own expense?”

Yvonne mocked, “I’m not like you. I wouldn’t do whatever I’m told just for the money. I’m doing this because I genuinely care about Wendy. She’s too soft–hearted to go up against Shermaine, so I’m doing it for her. I’ll do anything to make sure she’s happy.”

With that, she took full responsibility for the accusations Erin had made against Wendelyn.

In the classroom, Wendelyn covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears. But as she lowered her head, she secretly gave a sinister smile.

The students realized they had misunderstood Wendelyn, thinking she had stopped at nothing to take down Shermaine. They even started to believe that Shermaine must have been bullying Wendelyn at home, and that Wendelyn, ever kind–hearted, had endured it all. To them, Shermaine was the real

villain.

As Joshua heard this, his eyes darkened. He seemed displeased.

Sheldon noticed the subtle change in his expression.

A few seconds later, Joshua pulled out his phone and made a call.

At Brightwater Academy, the parent–teacher meeting had just ended.

Suddenly, someone rushed up to Shermaine and said, “I’m sorry, Shermaine, I shouldn’t have said those things about you.”

Soon, more and more students came up to her, offering their apologies. The crowd around her grew so large that she couldn’t leave immediately.

Meanwhile, the parents of Shermaine’s classmates surrounded Janice and Ruth, constantly praising Shermaine.

Their kids had always been average students, but now that one of the top students was in their class, they believed their children would be intensely

motivated. On top of that, they’d heard that Shermaine had been tutoring their children, and they were deeply grateful.

“Mrs. Jean, your granddaughter is incredible. Not only is she a top student, but she’s also so kind and helpful,” a parent said.

“We’re so thankful for her,” someone else chimed in.

At first, they complimented Shermaine in front of Ruth, but the more they praised Shermaine, the more sour Ruth’s expression became. In contrast, Janice was all smiles, her face glowing with pride.

Is this woman really Shermaine’s mom? Why would she look so indifferent when people praise her daughter?‘ someone thought.

Janice smiled cheerfully. “I’m glad Sheary could help. She loves to help others. I hope all the kids can excel on next year’s SAT with her support.”

“Of course they will. My daughter’s been studying very hard lately,” one parent said eagerly.

“Same here! My son stopped playing games and spends all his time studying,” another parent chimed in.

Alice was still in shock, unable to process the fact that she had been expelled from Brightwater Academy. Her mother, Vanessa Joy, went to the principal, hoping he’d be more lenient and reconsider the decision.
