Chapter 1195
"Can you please give Twila another chance?"
The line went dead as the other party hung up. Hestia tried calling back, only to find out she was blocked.
Twila was still recuperating.
Hestia couldn't bear to let her know what had happened, so she racked her brain and decided to approach Eltham.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"Is there any way Twila can continue her education at Star Elementary School?"
Eltham, already briefed, replied, "She's accused of intentionally harming someone. The Lynette Conglomerate has filed a lawsuit against Star Elementary School. The school has to take responsibility." Was it Brittany's doing?
Hestia's fists clenched involuntarily. "Why would Ms. Lynette go to such lengths?"
"Twila has already suffered enough. Why does Ms. Lynette keep pushing?"
Brittany had the world at her fingertips, her wishes were commands.
She had apologized, so why the relentless pursuit?
"Because you pushed her son."
"But Twila is your daughter too-" Hestia broke down.
"Or is it that you're willing to sacrifice Twila's future to appease Ms. Lynette?"
Hestia bit her lip. "Have you ever thought about how heartbroken Twila would be if she found out?"
Since attending Star Elementary School, Twila had blossomed, shedding her previous timidness. She deserved the best education!
"Then why did she hurt Bri's child?"
Eltham countered, "Hestia, you're a mother too. If someone harmed Twila, would you let them off?"
Of course not!
"So how can you expect Bri to forgive her?"
Hestia was incredulous. "But you're Twila's father-"
"It just goes to show, 'Out with the old, in with the new." Hestia's eyes welled up with tears. "If I had known you would treat Twila this way I would have never come back..."

"Then you should have never had her!"
Eltham lost his temper as Hestia confronted him. "I never knew she existed because of your tricks."
"Hestia, you think I'm heartless, but have you ever considered my feelings?"
He had gone to great lengths, even securing an engagement with Brittany.
And just when things were looking up, it was revealed he had a daughter, seven years old, without his knowledge. The royal
announcement dragged Brittany into
scandal, nullifying all his efforts!
"I was supposed to start a new life, but your selfishness brought me a daughter and drove a wedge between Bri and me!" Hestia was speechless.

"I don't want to delve into these matters, Eltham cut her off. "Twila
will provide for her, but understand this."

"My responsibility as a father doesn't give you the right to question me, nor does it give Twila any say in my marriage!"
Twila keeps calling Bri the 'other woman,' but she isn't.
"I don't want to hear this anymore."
"You think I said those things?"
Hestia was stunned.
Eltham frowned. "Then who?"
Twila was so young, unable to discern right from wrong unless someone filled her head with these notions, constantly antagonizing Brittany.
Tears in her eyes, Hestia left, realizing Eltham's disdain for her was deeper than she thought.
Across the street.
A black car had been waiting for a while.
The door opened, revealing Nathan.
"Ms. Bennett, do you need help?"
