After Liam Scott left, the room was quiet for a moment, then filled with Mrs. Scott's sobs.
Outside the window, autumn leaves fluttered down; after more than twenty years of marriage, this was the end result.
Mrs. Scott gradually understood that she couldn't rely on Liam Scott and, in the end, had to rely on herself.
She wiped away her tears, tightly holding her daughter's hand, and though she now had nothing, she said to Isabella Scott, "It's okay, daughter, Mom will find a way."
Isabella Scott held back her tears, unable to speak through her sobs.
She thought her heart had already turned to steel, but seeing her mother and father fall out, it seemed to soften once more.
With her hoarse voice, Isabella Scott said, "It's okay, Mom, I have a way."
"I will make those who bullied us pay the price." Her voice was so hoarse it was incomprehensible.
She mumbled a lot of things, and Mrs. Scott didn't understand a word.
She only understood one sentence: "Go find Adam Anderson."
