Ada was scared. “Sheldon… what are you doing?!”
Sheldon straightened up and looked straight at Allen, his eyes shining and his voice loud. “It’s I who fell for Claire. She doesn’t know anything! It’s not that she seduced me but I have been pestering her!”
Everyone gasped in shock.
“God! Is the Young Master crazy?!”
“How could Young Master like a girl like Claire?!”
Ada almost had a blackout. She felt dizzy and could hardly stand still.
“Mom! Are you okay?!” Phoebe hugged Ada tightly and was also shocked by Sheldon’s words. Her heart was as cold as if it had sunken into an ice cellar.
Why did Brother say that…
Is he so desperate to protect Claire?!
“You… you b*stard. She’s your own sister!” Allen was so angry that he lost his reason, took the ashtray on the coffee table, and slammed it at Sheldon.
Sheldon didn’t even blink his eyes and let the ashtray fly over, which hit his forehead and fell to the ground with a bang.
In an instant, blood dripped from his forehead, flowing down his cheeks. It looked shocking.
Claire pursed her lips.
What the hell was he talking about?
Sheldon wiped the blood on his face, his tone unprecedentedly firm. “Mom, Dad, I am willing to take responsibility for this matter. If you still force Claire to write that ridiculous confession letter, I will tell everyone it’s I who fell in love with my own sister!”
Allen blushed in anger, pointing at Sheldon with a shaking hand. “You… are you threatening us?!”
Ada closed her eyes and burst into tears. “What did I do to make God punish me like this?”
Sheldon stood up with difficulty and took Claire’s hand to lead her to the second floor, staggering a little.
When they came to the second floor, he slowly let go of her hand and lowered his head, not daring to look at Claire. His voice was hoarse. “Go back to your room. I apologize for this matter.”
“It’s alright. You don’t need to apologize.” Claire glanced at the wound on his forehead and was silent for a moment before she said, “Quickly deal with your wound.”
With that, she turned and entered her room.
Only then did Sheldon have the courage to raise his head and stare at the closed door in front of him, feeling as if he had been drained of energy.
For the first time, he felt so useless.
He fell in love with his own sister, pushing her into this terrible and embarrassing condition.
The entire house was shrouded in haze.
Ada’s cries and Allen’s roars came from the room from time to time, ceaselessly until midnight.
The servants were on tenterhooks.
“What has Claire done to bewitch Young Master into behaving like this?!”
“She is literally a witch! Young Master has been completely seized by her!”
The next morning.
Lance Middle School.
The class had already gone ballistic.
The students surrounded Phoebe, chattering.
Many media outlets had reported the news and the Smiths were a very famous family, so it was almost known to everyone.
The forbidden love of a brother and sister! What a scandal!
Everyone instinctively believed that Claire was the one who had seduced Sheldon. After all, Sheldon was such an excellent young man. How could he fall for Claire?
Everyone was talking vigorously when Claire walked into the classroom.
Countless eyes fell on her.
Under the contemptuous gazes, Claire carried her school bag on one shoulder and slipped her hands into her pockets.
There was no expression on her beautiful face. She walked to the back row leisurely. As careless as ever, she didn’t seem to be affected by the scandal at all.
As soon as she took her seat, Derek leaned over and asked. “Claire, I saw the news. What the hell happened between you and Sheldon Smith?”
