Chapter 143 Burning Scar

• "You know how our principal operates. If our parents don't show up for the parent-teacher meeting, he'll make a public announcement the next day. I remember Charmaine being called out like that for three whole years."
• As he spoke, something else came to mind.
• "Oh, and she's really pretty, so she attracted a lot of attention at school. She was close to the school hunk, Daniel, and plenty of girls who had a crush on him gave her a hard time behind her back. Every time something happened, their parents would storm into the office, but no one ever showed up for Charmaine. I passed by the office a few times and saw our homeroom teacher berating her, jabbing her forehead like she was worthless ... Tsk, back then, I thought maybe her family favored boys over girls. But now that I think about it, those parents who raised the wrong daughter are downright heartless. If Charmaine's been treated like this for so long, they must be to blame too."
