The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call



Chapter 1578 The Approaching Danger

In his moment of fluster, Gideon had completely missed Wynter's name. When he finally pieced it together, his face turned pale as his lips quivered. It dawned on him that Wynter was part of the Quinnell family from Kingbourne.

He attempted to explain but quickly realized that it would be futile. Meanwhile, Abigail was gripped by fear at Wynter's mention of seeking compensation for the marital property.

Instinctively, she turned to Gideon and asked, "She's lying, isn't she, Gideon?"

All Gideon could feel was despair. Drenched in a cold sweat, he could hardly foresee the disaster that befell him.

A shrewd woman, Abigail quickly recognized whom to approach for help in her predicament. She grabbed Natalia's hand and pleaded, "I never intended for any of this, Ms. Zaretsky. Do you truly believe that I seduced that man? I-I just didn't know what to do.

"You provided me with financial support and helped me settle in Hawford. That's why I didn't tell you about the harm he did to me..."

"You bitch! You were the one who seduced me!" Gideon roared, feeling his heart ache with anger.

With an aggrieved expression, Abigail sobbed. "I was too young to realize my mistake, Ms. Zaretsky. I didn't know how to deal with the harassment, nor did I have a choice..."

Natalia gazed at her coolly. As a math teacher, she possessed strong logical reasoning. "You sent me those provocative messages, so you'd better drop the act.

"For youngsters without influential backgrounds, receiving an education is a difficult endeavor, especially for female students. Indeed, they may face all kinds of harassment before they're equipped to protect themselves.

"Every word spewed by someone like you only ruins their chances of seeking help in the future. One's innocence is no trivial matter. Both you and Gideon are nothing but trash."

Glancing at Wynter, Natalia continued, "I'll take Ms. Quinnell's advice and seek compensation for marital property. I won't let you or Gideon get away easily. Since you desire to become his wife, you can take the position after paying your debts. I'm done with this marriage."

The crowd cheered in support of Natalia's decision, a stark contrast to their earlier amusements at the farce. The young students carried their own sense of righteousness. They stood by their teacher's side and were determined to uphold what was right.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The incident quickly went viral on the internet, topping the trending search lists.

Gideon barely had time to worry about his consequences before receiving a call from the Department of Education, requesting his immediate presence. Obviously, any dreams he had for promotion were now shattered.

Not only had Gideon lost his chance for promotion, but he might also face the risk of losing his position as the principal-unless his superior decided to intervene.

Meanwhile, Tommy and Abigail were under constant scrutiny. At that point, the public had learned of Abigail's misdeeds and the disrespectful comments made by Tommy.

Wynter, the hero of the day, donned her helmet and glanced at Eliana. "Now, you don't have to worry about expulsion. I'd like to see who'll save him from this mess."

Eliana nodded excitedly as her eyes shone with admiration for Wynter. Natalia, on the other hand, felt such immense gratitude that left her almost speechless.

Little did Wynter know that her sudden entrance and dashing departure had cast her as a savior in many women's eyes. However, her interventions had also completely infuriated a powerful figure in the province.

"She should've never interfered with the scholarship committee. It's time to teach her a lesson!" he ordered.
