Chapter 183: Domestic Violence
Translator: 549690339
Even though Dylan Summers was already shocked and angry, he still had to maintain his dignity in front of the schoolteachers.
Suppressing his anger, he led Laura home. As soon as they reached the living room and without waiting to avoid the servants, he kicked Laura to the ground and slapped her twice.
“Useless!” he berated.
Dylan was very concerned about saving face and would discipline his children behind closed doors, not letting outsiders see. But today, his anger was so great that he erupted in the living room.
Laura’s cheeks quickly swelled and reddened.
She was afraid her father would hit her again, so she curled up and shouted, “Purple Summers framed me! I didn’t buy answers or cheat! She’s the one who put the cheat sheet in my bag!”
Purple Summers again!
Last time, it was because of her recording that cost him 300 thousand. And now, it’s her again!
Dylan’s face turned ashen, infuriated by his adopted daughter. Yet, the sight of Laura in front of him enraged him even more. “Purple has only been at Grey’s for a month! How would she know where to buy answers?! Does she know the ins and outs of it?! You stupid girl! When will you tell the truth?!”
Laura’s body ached, and her throat burned from crying and shouting all day. Her voice had become hoarse: “I really don’t know… The cheat sheet and pen were given to me by my sister…”
To avoid punishment, Laura told Dylan about Yolanda’s plan.
“Dad, we just wanted to teach Purple a lesson. I didn’t know it would turn out this way. Purple did it on purpose! She set me up!…”
But no matter how she explained, it wouldn’t change the fact that she had been disgraced.
Yolanda, being a college student, was currently engaged in club activities at school and wasn’t at home.
Unable to confront the issue, Dylan vented all his anger on Laura and beat her mercilessly.
The servants moved away, and no one dared to intervene.
Outside the villa, Purple Summers stood quietly at the bluestone intersection, listening to the hoarse cries coming from inside as Laura was being beaten. She frowned slightly, her cold, ice-like face impassive, and a hint of disdain in her clear eyes.
Hitting women and children was a sign of incompetence.
She despised Dylan Summers.
After beating Laura, Dylan ignored her injuries and stormed off to his study, still furious.
He went through the phone contacts to find connections to fix the situation.
Having his daughter expelled from school and exposed on the internet was an unparalleled shame!
Dylan couldn’t bear such a disgrace!
And even more importantly, if Laura was expelled from Grey’s, which school would she attend in the future?
Renowned schools valued reputation the most, and a student caught cheating would forever bear a dark stain on their character, unable to gain the approval of prestigious institutions.
His daughter was meant to marry into a prestigious family. Was she supposed to attend a no-name, underperforming high school in a small town? And make friends with children from ordinary working-class families?
The more Dylan thought about it, the angrier he became!
It was all because of Purple Summers!
Downstairs, Laura’s body was in pain.
In his fury, Dylan had been careless and heavy-handed, not causing broken bones, but still inflicting painful bruises.
The maid helped Laura walk step by step outside, intending to take her to the hospital for a check-up.
Laura’s face was swollen, tears streaming down her cheeks stinging like hot fire, and her bruised leg made her limp with each step.
When Laura came out of the living room and saw Purple Summers outside, her face showed a ferocious expression. Ignoring her injuries, she lunged at Purple.
“You bitch! Setting me up on purpose!”
Purple Summers, feeling pity for Laura’s cruel father, only restrained Laura’s hands without hurting her further.
Unexpectedly, the crazed Laura was stronger than usual, and Purple had to struggle a bit before firmly holding Laura in place.
Unable to move, Laura’s red eyes were filled with burning rage, as if wishing to incinerate Purple to ashes!
“Purple Summers! You dared to hurt me! I won’t let you go! I’ll never let you go!!!
