"Mr. Bill, Miss Marsh has a high fever now. Please let her go back. As for what happened today..." Brenda hesitated, unsure how to continue.
Darren was silent for a few seconds before asking, his voice harsh. "Has she apologized? Melanie needs three stitches, while she only has to kneel. What else does she want? Tell her to apologize! If she doesn't, don't bother notifying me if she dies out here!"
Brenda's expression changed and she hurriedly turned off the speaker on her phone.
But Laura had already heard. She braced herself and stood up unsteadily, reaching for the phone.
"Darren... I'm not at fault. Who's really to blame in this matter? She deserves it, doesn't she?"
On the other end, there was a sharp intake of breath and even through the phone, one could feel Darren's anger.
"Laura, if you still don't understand your mistake, then get out of the Bill Family!"
Normally, this threat was the most effective. Laura had long since lost her home, so he knew she had nowhere else to go.
In the past, every time he said this, Laura would admit her mistake. Even if she ran away, she would sneak back the next day as if nothing had happened.
But this time was different.
