Chapter 26

The words hit like a punch, sending shockwaves through the kids. Even the toughest ones felt a shiver at the mention of murder. With Harriet’s dramatic accusation and Quinlyn’s bloodied hands, it was easy to believe the worst.

The crowd exploded into screams, and students holted in every direction. Quinlyn’s classmates stared at her like she was a ghost.

Harry, who had seen Quinlyn’s potential in basketball, didn’t want a rumor to ruin her future. He raised his voice over the chaos. “Everyone, calm down! We don’t know what happened. There might be a misunderstanding, so let’s not jump to conclusions.”

Tm telling the truth.” Harriet stood up, her face red with anger. “Mr. Lambert is the best teacher we have. Quinlyn just got here and already did this to him. What kind of grudge could she possibly have?

“It’s obvious to me that Quinlyn has a violent side. All those times she saved’ people at the mall? That was just her acting on impulse. Everyone’s been duped by her.”

The students, who had spent a year with Eugene, were more inclined to trust him than the newcomer, Quinlyn. Seeing a ten–year–old act so fiercely, even the adults around her couldn’t help but feel a chill.

The dean who had rushed over immediately declared the area off–limits. Teachers formed a circle around Quinlyn, eyeing her warily.

Then, the wail of an ambulance siren sliced through the air outside the school. Everyone turned to look, only to see the police arrive first.

The dean looked puzzled. “Did any of you call the police?” he asked, glancing around.

The teachers all shook their heads in disbelief. At a prestigious institution like Manldon International School, information was tightly controlled–no one would dare leak anything without permission, not even in serious situations. The arrival of the police was just as surprising to them.

The dean saw the chaos and tried to smooth things over. “Officers, there’s gotta be some kind of mix–up here. This is just a little misunderstanding- Before he could finish, a badge was thrust into his face.

Im Bennett from the Crime Investigation Team,” Bennett said sharply. “We received a report from parents at Manldon International School about a teacher allegedly involved in inappropriate behavior with students. We need the school’s full cooperation for our investigation.”

The dean’s mind went blank. “Inappropriate behavior? You gotta be kidding me. We’re the top school in the city, hiring the best teachers from everywhere. How could this happen here?” But his words felt useless against the officers.

“We need to talk to Eugene Lambert, Bennett said, tucking his badge back into his jacket. “We can’t figure out what happened without investigating

The dean’s face drained of color as he realized the gravity of the situation. “He’s here, but he can’t talk right now,” he said. “A student attacked him. He’s unconscious and in rough shape.”

“What?” Bennett’s eyes widened as he saw Eugene lying on the ground. Next to him, looking guilty as hell, was Quinlyn. Why is she always in the middle of such things? Bennett thought.

Just then, Claude and Joseph arrived. The sight of blood made them stop dead in their tracks.

“Quinlyn!” Joseph pushed past the police tape and ran over, grabbing her shoulders. “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?” he asked, his voice trembling.

The paramedics stood there, speechless, eyeing the unscathed Quinlyn. They exchanged uneasy glances, each thinking the same thing. This kid must be utterly spoiled to act so recklessly.”

Chapter 26

Meanwhile, Eugene’s bleeding from the back of his head had stopped

“Thank goodness there are fatal serious injuries,” the doctor said, pulling off his mask. “Once his heart rate and pulse stabilize, we’ll get him to the hospital

He turned to Quinlyn and added, “Kid, no matter how playful you are, you can’t go throwing stones at people. It could’ve been a lot worse. You got lucky this time, but next time might not be

Before he could fish. Quinlyn slowly focused her eyes on Eugene’s face and asked, “He’s not dead yet?”

The doctor was taken aback. “Wow, she actually wanted him dead he exclaimed in his mind.

Joseph saw Bennett approaching and quickly pulled Quinlyn into a tight hug, trying to take the rock from her hand without drawing attention. But as soon as he made a move, Bennett’s hand shot out and grabbed his arm.

“Easy there,” Bennett said, stepping in smoothly. He gave Joseph a steady look. “We’ve met before, Joseph. I just need to talk to Quinlyn for a minute. It’s not gonna hurt

Bennett was a pro at handling situations like this, and he knew how to shut down objections with a few calm words. Joseph pursed his lips, knowing he couldn’t stop him.

Bennett smiled slightly and gestured to his colleagues to take Joseph’s statement. Once Joseph was led aside, Bennett turned to Quinlyn, who was still clutching the sharp–edged rock.

“Quinlyn, you with me? Did you hit the guy on the ground?” Bennett squatted down to meet her eye–to–eye, keeping it simple. He’d seen enough of Quinlyn to know she wasn’t like other kids–she was sharper, more grounded. He just needed

the facts.

Quinlyn’s mind was clear, but her movements felt sluggish. She looked down at her hands and answered after a beat, “I think

Bennett was thrown off by her hesitation. “Why do you think so? Don’t you remember?” he pressed.

Quinlyn’s brow furrowed as she tried to piece it together. “No, I was too angry to think clearly just now,” she admitted, shaking her head slowly.

Bennett nodded, his expression softening. He knew that in the heat of the moment, details often blurred. “Why were you so angry?” he asked gently. “Did you see something that set you off?”

Quinlyn was the type of kid who could stay composed even in the face of armed robbers. Bennett knew that whatever had enraged her must have been truly terrible.

Only then did Quinlyn’s mind catch up. She looked around and saw the other girls, each in the arms of their parents who had arrived earlier.

“I saw him…” Quinlyn pointed at Eugene and then toward the group of girls, her voice slow and almost eerie. “He was making them take off their skirts.”

For a moment, the grove fell completely silent. Everyone’s eyes widened like they’d just seen a ghost.

A cool breeze swept through, and one of the parents suddenly shouted, “What nonsense is this? My daughter was just getting tutored by Mr. Lambert. It’s a normal teacher–student situation. Stop spreading lies!”
