Chapter 45 All Hell Breaks Loose Once Again
“Why did I think it was someone else? Gavin, where is Will? His daughter beat up my daughter so badly, and sent you here to cover things up? You all clearly don’t take my family seriously,”
“Mrs. Gates, I wouldn’t dare! I came here to solve the problem properly. Regarding the matter about Ms. Swan, I will personally apologize to everyone here. Whatever compensation you need, Mr. Swan and I will definitely do our best to compensate!”
Gavin noticed that there was a scratched bloodstain on Eileen’s face. It looked pretty bad and her hair was all over the place. Her opponent didn’t fare that well either.
Usually, when something bad happens to Eileen, Eric would be the one dealing with things. But this time, the one in Eric’s place is Gavin instead. Eileen had a feeling that Eric had to console Vera.
After all, she was injured too. Eric must be very distressed.

Teresa Gates let out a cold snort. “Money? And you said that Mr. Swan wasn’t trying to just put us off. You’re just working for a corrupted company, I’ll tell you that! If Will Swan does not get over here, beg on his knees and apologize right this instant, I will tell my husband about everything that happened and he will cancel whatever collaboration that we have. And, if I recall correctly, the project that we gave you to work on, we can just simply look for another company to do it for us!”
Gavin had to do damage control. “Mrs. Gates, please calm down first. Ms. Gates and Ms. Swan are still kids. It’s very normal for kids their age to fight a little. If this little incident affects the cooperation between the two families, it will hurt our harmonious ties with each other.’
Teresa slams her hand on the table. “I’m telling you right now, it already has! Get Will Swan on the phone right now and tell him to get here immediately!”

“Who said I was friends with that loser? How can a company even be run by a broke a’s bumpkin… Does she even have manners? And how dare she lay her hands on me! Who her the right? Even if she knelt and kowtowed and apologized to me, I will not forgive her. And you, you’re nothing but just a dog raised by the Swan family. When is it your turn to speak to us here in our own house?” Lany sneered.
Gavin corrected the placement of the glasses on the bridge of his nose. “Ms. Gates, please watch your words.”
Lany smiled contemptuously “What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong? You’re just the Swan family’s dog””
Suddenly, a shoe came flying out of nowhere, and landed smack right onto Lany’s face.
“Aaaaaaah-”
“Lany!”
“Eileen Swan!”
All hell breaks loose once again.
Gavin stared ahead blankly. One side of his shoulders was pulled aback abruptly. Then, in came Eileen with a golf club in her hands. She walked to the front of Gavin with a missing shoe on one of her feet.
Lany wanted to fight her really badly, but seeing the club in Eileen’s hands, she felt a tremble from within.
Eileen held up the golf club and pointed it at Lany. She raised her scarlet red lips and exclaimed: “You call yourself the heiress to your wealthy family, but why do you have such a potty mouth? Have I given you shame?”
The few teachers who came to mediate the tension were all dumbfounded, only to come to their senses a few moments later.
One of them yelled out: “Eileen Swan, what on earth are you doing? This is a school. How dare you act out in front of the teachers? Are you asking to get expelled?”
Now that things have gotten to this point, Eileen could only continue to play along with it. Underneath all that gusto, she was faking it. Her legs were shaking underneath her short skirt.
At that moment, Teresa walks up to Eileen, grabs onto her golf club and lands a hard slap across her face. “This is for beating up my daughter, you cheap and dirty thing! How dare you hit her?”
Eileen stumbles to her side from the slap. Her cheek was swollen and flushed with bright red. A slap this loud must have taken 80% of Teresa’s entire strength.
Gavin wanted to block the slap, but it was too late.
Eileen held her hand to her cheek, and said in a low voice: “So what if I am cheap and dirty It is not mistaken, Mrs. Gates, you hit someone after drinking and driving, and you paralyzed them. And not to mention, a five-year old kid died under the wheels of your car Don’t you remember?”
Teresa’s face blanked out. The blood faded awrom her cheeks, leaving a cold paleness
Everyone in the vicinity was shocked to find out about this secret
The atmosphere in the meeting room shifted into an eerie silence.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Eileen, how dare you slander my mom!!” Lany uttered in disbelief.
Eileen looked at her and everyone’s shocked expressions indifferently.
The two from the Hunts and the Sheppards did not dare to utter a word.
“Do you want me to go into detail?”
Teresa suddenly cried out: “Shut up! That’s enough! How dare you threaten me. Eileen Swan How much has Will told you?”
“Oh my god, so it’s true!” Pearl said in shock.
Her mother covered her mouth in an instant and gave her a ferocious side eye.
Of the three families that were present, the Gates were the most powerful and influential The other two, not so much.
Lany looked at the people around her, not knowing what to believe. “Mom, why do I not know about this? Did the kid really die? What happened after? Mom… why did you drink and drive… That can’t be true… You’re lying…”
The mother that Lany grew up with and loved with all her heart turned out to be a murderer. It was an unacceptable truth. It’s illegal to drink and drive!
Eileen did not say anything. She turned her gaze to Pearl’s mother. “Oh by the way Mrs. Sheppard, three years ago, your husband…”
“Okay that’s enough, Eileen. Let’s end it here, shall we? I have not disciplined Pearl well I have wronged you…” She took off the Vera bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Eileen’s hand. “I’m here to say sorry to you…
“And to all of the teachers, Pearl and I need to head home now, she’s not feeling too well ”
Pearl begrudgingly walked away with her mother not having understood the reason why Unless her parents too did something.
Now that the Sheppards have left. Mrs Good was also afraid that Eileen would blurt out some secret So she said a few words and took Daniel away with her after giving tileen the Patek Phillipe watch that was on her wrIST

Teresa took her handbag and left in a hurry.
Then, there were only three teachers left in the meeting room.
After the door closed, Eileen let go of the golf club in her hand, and sat down on the ground, her energy all drained out. She started to sob profusely, wiping her tears and trying to suppress the sound of her cries.
Gavin looked at Eileen crying her eyes out, and reached out his arm wanting to console her, only to retract it in the end.
Eileen Swan, the girl who was not afraid of anything, also gets scared sometimes?
This was the first time ever that he saw a protective side to Eileen. But also a vulnerable side as well.
He had always thought that she did not have a heart.
