Chapter 160 Stay Out Of My Sight.

Seeing how his youngest daughter was being judged made him mad, but he couldn’t just sit there and do- nothing. He grabbed Quincy’s hand and said, “Come on, let’s go!”

Seeing how lost Quincy had become and knowing that her reputation was thoroughly ruined, Yelena could no longer contain her anger. She pointed at Calista and unleashed a torrent of curses. “You’re nothing but an ingrate! All these years, I’ve raised you and given you everything you need, and this is how you treat your sister? How can you be so cruel? Why can’t you give this to her since it’s just a semi–finished product? Is it because you can’t stand to see her do well? Are you jealous because she found a good mentor? Now look at what you’ve done! You’ve ruined Quincy for the sake of one exam! Are you happy now?”

“That’s enough! Quit making a scene. Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?” Benedict raised his voice, his expression stern.

If it were any other matter, Yelena might have swallowed her pride and let it slide, but when it came to her precious daughter, she couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing. “Benedict, you coward! Are you just going to stand there and let Calista bully Quincy? Calista is your daughter, but so is Quincy! Calista’s action clearly showed she doesn’t consider us as family. Had she not exposed the truth, Quincy would have remembered her kindness when she became successful. Why must she expose Quincy while she continues her research? They could have simply announced to the world that it was a collaborative effort once the work was finished and launched, but Calista’s self–centeredness knows no bounds. She’s so desperate for fame that she wouldn’t hesitate to trample on Quincy! A daughter like her will never respect you in the future!”

Yelena’s lengthy speech carried both logical points and an absurdly amusing tone. It seemed as though she was implying that Calista might eventually turn against Benedict simply because she wasn’t siding with Quincy.

Barry couldn’t tolerate their bickering any longer. Before Yelena could continue, he intervened, his plump face assuming a stern expression. “Madam, let’s make things clear. Regardless of how you’ve raised your child, the school will undoubtedly take disciplinary action against dishonest behavior! Moreover, Calista’s examination holds immense significance. Being the first eighteen–year–old to skip several grades and directly enroll in a combined master’s and doctoral program, this is her one and only chance. If she fails, she won’t get another opportunity.”

“I understand that, as parents, you both want your children to excelin their own right.” At this point, a hint of mockery emerged on Barry’s face. “However, if Calista were to cover for Quincy, then the research content of this assignment would essentially become Quincy’s intellectual property. In the future, her tutor would assist her in completing the research, and the school would apply for a patent on her behalf. At that point, unless Calista generously hands over the finished product to Quincy, allowing Quincy to take all the credit, any further research she conducts would be considered a violation of intellectual property.”

What he said made sense but wasn’t entirely accurate, yet his words were enough to intimidate those who didn’t fully understand how the system worked.

Many onlookers burst into laughter. Why would a person hand over a finished product to someone who tried stealing it, giving them a chance to taste Jame? No one would be foolish enough to take this loss and risk being labeled as someone who steals her sister’s work!

Moreover, Yelena’s remarks were absurd. She acted as if the elder sister was obligated to sacrifice herself and share her glory with her younger sister, even covering for her sister’s theft by missing an important exam. Such blatant favoritism. She’s undoubtedly the stepmother to the eldest daughter!

“Yelenal” Benedict might be oblivious, but he knew w absurd Yelena’s behavior was. “Have you lost your

mind? How could you say such a thing?”

Throughout the commotion, Calista remained composed and indifferent. While others might think Yelena had lost her mind to make such absurd remarks, Calista knew from previous life that it was exactly what Yelena intended. Yelena believed Calista was merely a stepping stone for Quincy’s success, using all of Calista’s talent and abilities to pave the way for Quincy’s advancement.

At this point, Yelena had lost her sanity, completely impervious to reason. She wished she could tear Calista apart, especially after seeing how Quincy sobbed, head hung low in distress. “What’s wrong with what I said? If I hadn’t taken such good care of Calista, she would have gone astray long ago! She owes her achievements to me! Yet, she completely destroyed Quincy just because Quincy took something from her. Calista is nothing but an ingrate. She’s a b*tch!”

Calista couldn’t help but smirk. “Mrs. Stafford, do you really want to embarrass yourself in front of all these people?

Yelena’s face turned ashen.

Calista continued to chuckle. She took the risk of exposing her research with the intention of taking Quincy down, not merely to embarrass her. “Mr. Gosling, how will the school punish Quincy for her wrongdoing?”

“Calista Stafford, how dare you?” Upon learning of her intentions, Yelena suddenly strode toward Calista as if she were poised to strike her.

Her eyes were ablaze with fury.

“Why not?” Calista replied with a sweet smile, yet her words were as sharp as a knife. “Quincy was caught stealing. Considering the value of the stolen product alone, involving the authorities would have spelled ruin for her. I’m kind enough to overlook this transgression, but on one condition: Quincy must quit the -chool and stay out of my sight.”

Barry immediately weighed the pros and cons in his mind, swiftly voicing his final decision. “That’s right. Our school cannot tolerate such an individual. Not only did she attempt to steal someone’s intellectual property, but she also had the audacity to bite back. Her actions show that she’s not someone with a commendable character.”

Benedict sighed deeply. The turn of events left him looking as worn as a man much older. Yet, he had to accept this outcome, given the many onlookers today. Even if Quincy were to continue studying there, her future would no longer be promising.
