Chapter 893

893 We Shouldn’t Let the Hero Down
Kate froze. She stared blankly at Wynter from behind.
Jone tugged at her. “Why didn’t you tell me about what happened at school?”
“What was there to tell you about? We can’t afford to offend the Reed family.” Kate bit her lip and hesitated briefly before running down the stairs.
She shouted to Wynter, who was putting on her helmet, “I’m sorry! I’ll apologize to Dulcie’s parents. I did speak up for her, but it was through my spam account. I dared not use my main.
“Didn’t you see my Facebook page? I saw a post saying that she had an abortion, and I defended her. I wanted to investigate the truth, but they came for my neck instead.”
Wynter looked over while holding her helmet. “Got it.”
“You can’t fight the Reed family,” Kate stammered, unsure about how she should explain it. “They have people looking out for them!”
Wynter responded with a smirk, “What a coincidence. So do I.”
Kate’s voice was choked with sobs. “I hate the poor. Wynter, you can tell, can’t you? I don’t like Dulcie either, but her mother’s cries reminded me of my mom.
“When I was made the ‘donkey‘, I hurt my arm. My mom went to the school to demand an explanation. I
was so terrified because I knew it wouldn’t change anything.”
Kate had opposed the donkey game at first. That was the reason why she was assigned the role of the donkey last time. A taste of it made her feel pessimistic about the world. Fighting it seemed pointless.
Kate was vividly reminded of how Hailey had stood at the top. When they locked Dulcie in the toilet and stripped her, Hailey had jeered, “You lowlifes disgust me. Who are you trying to impress by looking so weak? Country bumpkins like you deserve to be recorded and shown to everyone!
ey everyone, look at what she’s wearing. She probably buys her undies from thrift stores.”
“Hey
The mocking laughter blended into a harsh symphony. Upon hearing those words, Kate was reminded of her own torment and eventually joined them.
The rich Hailey wouldn’t take their money, but she often had Kate and the others run errands.
Over time, Kate succumbed to the tasks. Even if it meant being a lackey, staying by Hailey’s side was a form of honor. It protected her from the bullying of being a donkey.
Yet, under such circumstances, could she feel happy about it?
Kate wanted to transfer schools, but her family had gone to great lengths to get her into her current school. She wasn’t academically gifted, so her grades would drop if she transferred.
That was what changed Kate. As a bully, she wouldn’t have to suffer as a victim.
694 We Shouldn’t Let the Here Dewa
When Dulcie had gotten beaten, Kate hadn’t stepped up to help. The most she could do was refrain from stripping Dulcie’s clothes.
Perhaps the way Leanne reacted reminded her of how her mom had tried to protect her, or perhaps she was just touched by the cool Wynter.
All her mom would do now was tell her to focus on her studies. Emotions swirled in Kate’s eyes.
Without looking back, Wynter put on her helmet and hopped onto her scooter. Dalton remained in his usual spot . Although he might not seem to have paid attention, he had given his orders earlier.
Kate turned to leave, seeing that she couldn’t change their minds.
“ Do what you promised. Apologize to Mr. Wilson. He’s a retired soldier. Back in his day, he joined rescue missions and served at the border. He was a hero who protected a lot of people.”
Wynter’s eyes were sparkling. She straddled the scooter as she spoke, “We may not be heroes, but we
shouldn’t let the hero down.”
