Chapter 183

Oblivious to Leland’s actions, Johanna was at a loss for words. “Mrs. Ramsey, there must be some mistake. My son, Leland, has always been an exemplary student, both in academics and character…”

Before Johanna could finish, Leland stormed over, fuming, and blurted out, “Mom, why waste your breath on them? It was her. She led me on first!”

“What did you say?” Violet was stunned by Leland’s audacity to turn the tables, her anger boiling. “Leland, shame on you!”

Knowing Leland had always been quite popular at school due to his looks, Johanna naturally assumed Violet must have taken a fancy to him.

Stepping forward, Johanna suggested, “Mrs. Ramsey, why turn this misunderstanding between these two kids into such an unpleasant ordeal? My son is a handsome young man, and your daughter is a bright and clever girl. It’s totally normal for a girl to be too shy to say how she feels. Why turn it into this big thing that just gets everyone upset? I propose we arrange a marriage between them, and that way, Ms. Ramsey, you won’t have to feel embarrassed about admitting to such feelings.”

“You!” Mrs. Ramsey was in disbelief at Johanna’s audacity. She had never encountered someone so shameless!

Not far away, Freya and Luna approached.

Luna said, “Mrs. Dawson, are you unaware of what your son did? We saw everything. Ms. Ramsey has no interest in your son. It was your son who, emboldened by alcohol, attempted to force himself on Ms. Ramsey!”

“Nonsense! Leland would never do such a thing!” Already not fond of Freya, Johanna found Luna even less to her liking.

Just then, the security guards came over, dragging along Leland’s friends who had tried to bolt. Their eyes darted around, avoiding Leland.

Leland barked, “They are my friends. Who gave you the right to detain them? Let them go!”

“Mom, Dad! It was them! They cornered me!” Violet immediately pointed out Leland’s friends.

Mr. Ramsey’s face was a shade of anger so deep it couldn’t get any deeper.

Johanna tried to defend Leland, but Freya stepped forward, addressing Johanna, “Ms. Jennings and I saw everything. Leland’s actions toward Ms. Ramsey were despicable, a disgrace to the Dawson family! Ultimately, it’s because of your lax discipline.”

“Freya! How could you…” Johanna went pale.

Freya then turned to the Ramsey family, saying, “I apologize to Ms. Ramsey. As for this brute, deal with him as you see fit, and please, show no mercy.”

“Freya! How could you turn against your family? It’s clear you want to see Leland suffer!” Johanna was beside herself with anger.

Meanwhile, Leland retorted, “Violet seduced me! She’s playing the saint before others. Why would she spend time alone with me if she had no interest in me? I was a bit more forward, and now, she’s playing the victim!”

“You!” Violet glared at Leland, absolutely furious. She was shocked that Johanna and her son were so shameless!

Then, suddenly, the sharp sound of a slap echoed through the air.
