Chapter 119 Dissapointed "E-Ethan, when did you get here? I didn't hear anything. You scared me, sneaking up like that." "Who's suspecting Layla? Why would anyone suspect her? What did Layla do that has you so worried?" Ethan asked as he walked into the kitchen.

Eleanor's heart thumped violently.

"What? Nothing. You must have misheard. I wasn't talking to Layla." Eleanor tried to maintain her composure.

"Mom," Ethan fixed his gaze on her and asked, "What did Layla score on her college entrance exam?” Eleanor hesitated. She tried to hide her panic and answered, 700 marks." "You're lying. She didn't even take the exam." Eleanor opened her mouth, but she couldn't find the words.

"She stole my notes and that math problem. You didn't go to the wedding you went to Taragon with Isabelle's answer.

Ethan's questions cone after another. His voice was shaking with barely controlled anger and shame. "Ethan, it's not like that. Letexplain-" "And now you wantto help you keep deceiving everyone!"

e reached Ethan's room just as he was about to make a call. She grabbed the phone from his hands.

"Give it back! Do you realise what you're doing?" screamed Ethan; his emotions were in turmoil.

Eleanor clutched the phone tightly, refusing to return it "Ethan, you can't do this. Layla is your sister. If you make that call, it will ruin her life.” Ethan barked, "And what about Isabelle? What you did is no different from those who steal others” identities and futures. If Isabelle were weak, wouldn't her life be the one ruined now?" "It's too late to change things now. Just pretend you don't know. Isabelle is doing well and got into Taragon University on her own. What's wrong with giving Layla a chance too? Having two sisters at the suniversity is a good thing, isn't it?" argued Eleanor.

"That's not Layla's achievement. You exploited Isabelle's hard work and honour, deceiving Taragon University into providing scholarships and housing. Isn't that enough? And you still call her names despite 1/3 Chapter 119 Dissapointed Eleanor asked. "So you want to destroy Layla and this family, right?" Ethan looked at his mother, speechless.

After a long pause, he said, "It's not hers." When William chfrom work, he found his wife crying in the living room.

Ethan's phone was on the table.

He was locked in his room, pounding on the door in a state of unprecedented agitation, shouting to be let out.

"What happened?" William moved to unlock the door.

Eleanor grabbed his arm.

She tearfully recounted the situation.

Eleanor kept repeating that Ethan wanted to destroy his sister's life and tear the family apart.

"He wants to driveto my grave," she wailed.

After a while. Eleanor's tearful voice cthrough the door again, "I'm begging you, okay? I'm on my knees. Please, I'm asking you to spare your sister as your mother." About half an hour later, William stood outside Ethan's door, sighing heavily.

He began to reason with him, saying, "Ethan, your mom and sister made a mistake, but your mom is right. This isn't just about taking a piece of candy. word gets out, Layla's life will be ruined, and our family will be torn apart. What will the neighbours think of her? How will Isabelle cope if she's expelled from Taragon iversity? For Isabelle, it's just a math problem she doesn't care about. But for Layla, it determines her I'm sorry

I couldn't provide better for you three, layla and I couldn't guide Layla properly. But solving this math problem could secure a bright future for your sister."

William, with his limited education, believed it was just a math problem s Isabelle didn't need, but it could give his other daughter a bright future. To him, this wasn't a big deal among family members.

Eleanor stood outside the door, holding a phone with the speaker on.

Layla's tearful pleas cthrough the phone.

The entire family begged Ethan to keep their secret.

Ethan felt utterly powerless and muttered, "It can't be kept secret." X
