Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 123

Hera followed the young boy to the door of the school clinic, where the sounds of a boy's sobs and a woman's sharp scolding could be heard from inside.

"What's going on? It's been almost an hour. Why haven't his parents arrived yet? Some parents just don't care about their children," Eugene Ergol's mother, Yana Harrington, exclaimed angrily.

"Mrs. Ergol, please calm down. Mr. Everett is stuck in traffic," Violet Woodwick, Gino's homeroom teacher, tried to pacify her.

"When I came, there wasn't any traffic. It's just an excuse. I'm convinced he's intentionally avoiding responsibility," Yana retorted angrily.

"This brat injured my son. If I don't get an explanation today, I'll sue you all for negligence!"

Upon hearing this, Eugene's homeroom teacher, Quincey Ballard, became anxious and urged, "Ms. Woodwick, are you sure he's really on his way? Maybe you should call him again to hurry him up."

At that moment, the door was knocked and then pushed slightly open. Hera walked in.

Her gaze swept coldly across the room, where Gino stood by the window like a punished student. His school uniform was dirty and torn, and though his face was bruised and swollen, he stubbornly held his head high as he looked out the window.

Sitting across from Gino was Eugene, who appeared rather chubby. He looked to weigh around 95 pounds based on a visual estimate. His skin was dark, his face dotted with acne, and his dirty school uniform showed no other visible injuries besides a white bandage on his forehead.

He sat on a stretcher bed, sobbing, while Yana, the school doctor, and teachers surrounded him.

In contrast to Eugene, Gino, though beaten, did not cry.

"Your anger makes it sound like your son was beaten to death," Hera quipped.

Upon hearing her voice, Gino immediately turned around and looked at Hera with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you talking back to? Have you no manners?" Yana scolded.

With short, curly hair dyed wine red, clad in designer attire, adorned with oversized gold earrings and chains around her neck, she exuded a nouveau riche vibe.
