Eleanor panicked and scolded, “You ungrateful child! I’m your mother! If you do this, people will criticize. you behind your back for the rest of your life. You’ll be cursed and condemned!”
William finally realized the gravity of the situation and quickly stepped forward to mediate. “Isabelle, your mother and sister were wrong, but calling the police and getting them jailed is too extreme. What your sister did was wrong, but it was just one math problem. She’s already facing consequences. We’re family; how can you involve the police?”
Isabelle looked at her father and said, “I used to think you were just a simple, kind man. But now, I see you can’t tell right from wrong.”
She pitied him.
William had lived his life at the bottom of society, constantly bullied by his wife and siblings. Out of respect for the few times he had shown genuine care for the original owner, Isabelle wouldn’t make things too hard for him.
