Chapter 198
One sharp remark from Winifred instantly made fris’s face darken , like magic . The principal and a few teachers felt so good watching it all unfold . They couldn’t help but feel totally vindicated .
From the moment Iris walked in , everyone instantly found her unbearable .
fris marched up to Winifred , her face dark with anger . “ Say that again , I dare you ! ”
‘ Does she even know who I am ? ‘ Iris thought , her eyes narrowing .
‘ How dare she talk to me like that ? ‘ she fumed inwardly .
‘ Does she really think the Hart family can just walk all over me ? ‘ Iris seethed .
“ I don’t waste kind words on bitches twice , ” Winifred sneered .
“ You ! ” Iris’s rage exploded in an instant , her eyes wide with fury as she locked her gaze on Winifred’s face , unable to contain her anger .
‘ Those eyes are just like that woman’s . No wonder I can’t stand her ! Iris fumed .
‘ She was supposed to be dead ten years ago , yet she’s back . Tough bitch just won’t die . Nothing but a homewrecker , Iris seethed inwardly .
While Iris was fuming , Winifred stayed cool as ever , her face calm and collected . “ What , think you’re all that now just because you’ve played quack doctor for a few days ? ”
Winifred sneered , ‘ Of course I know exactly who Iris was . Supposedly the youngest surgeon in the country , a medical genius ?
‘ Bullshit . She’s killed more patients than I can count . If she’s a genius doctor , then I’m the president of the country !
Iris narrowed her eyes , her gaze filled with deadly intent as she glared at Winifred .
“ Winifred , do you realize there’s a price to pay for saying that ? If I call the cops and sue you for slander , this won’t just be about plagiarism anymore , ” Iris
warned .
With her status and influence , crushing Winifred would be effortless . ,
Winifred let out a cold , mocking laugh , barely holding back her irritation as she dropped her voice a few notches . To Iris , her words slithered out like a viper’s hiss , chilling and venomous .
“ Oh ? Did you forget already ? Want me to jog your memory ? I don’t know exactly how many people you’ve sent to their graves . Two or three ? No , maybe four or five ? Or was it seven or eight ? ” Winifred taunted , her tone icy .
After she finished , Winifred stepped back and lounged against the wall , looking completely at ease and utterly unconcerned .
Iris’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at Winifred in disbelief . ‘ How could she possibly know about my secrets ? ‘ she thought .
‘ Impossible . ‘ She must be spouting nonsense , ‘ Iris tried to convince herself .
Iris tried to hide the panic in her eyes and forced herself to look calm . “ I have no idea what you’re talking about , Winifred . ”
Winifred replied casually , “ Whether you understand or not , that’s your problem . Knowing it – well , that’s just my specialty . ”
Iris gritted her teeth , her fingers curling tight as she shot Winifred a glare . “ Winifred , what exactly are you after ? ”
‘ Does she really think she can threaten me with this made – up crap ? tris fumed inwardly .
‘ She must be delusional . Even if she somehow knows a little , so what ? Like anyone’s actually going to believe her nonsense , Iris scoffed to herself .

“ Kneel down and apologize , ” Winifred said calmly , her gaze fixed on Sylvie .
Sylvie lowered her head in humiliation , eyes burning with resentment . She shot a pleading look at Iris , hoping desperately that her sister would step in
and save her .
‘ Like hell I’m apologizing to that woman ,’ she thought stubbornly .
‘ No way would my sister ever let me do something so humiliating , ‘ Sylvie told herself , clinging to that hope .
‘ So what if I took a few drafts ? It’s not even a big deal , ‘ Sylvie grumbled inwardly .
‘ It’s not like it’s some huge crime . Winifred just did the rough outlines . I did all the real work after that . Why should she get to act like it’s all hers ? ” Sylvie fumed to herself .
Iris took a deep breath . Whether Winifred knew or not , either way , it spelled trouble for her .
“ Kneel down and apologize , ” Iris ordered , her tone leaving no room for argument the moment she spoke .
Sylvie froze for a moment , completely stunned . ‘ What did my sister just say ? ‘ she thought , her mind reeling .
‘ She wants me to kneel down and apologize ? ‘ Sylvie couldn’t believe her ears .
‘ Why should I ? ‘ she fumed inwardly .
‘ Does Winifred even deserve that ? I’m the daughter of the Iris family ! ‘ Sylvie thought , her pride burning .
“ I’m not doing it , Iris ! ” Sylvie yelled , her eyes red with anger .
Iris paid no attention to her protest . “ Either drop out of school or get on your knees and apologize . You decide . ”
Sylvie trembled all over , as if she’d just suffered a crushing blow . She looked completely defeated , with her hands clenched tight . Resentment and humiliation gnawed at her , and she felt even worse than death . But she couldn’t drop out .
Winifred stretched leisurely , her gaze lingering on Sylvie with a half – smile . “ Class is about to start . I still need to get back and attend it . ”
The implication was obvious . She wasn’t giving her much time .
With a heavy thud , Sylvie dropped to her knees , biting down so hard on her lower lip she nearly made it bleed .
“ I’m sorry , Winifred . I shouldn’t have stolen your drafts . I’m sorry . Please , forgive me , ” Sylvie choked out , her voice thick with shame .
Winifred walked over and looked down at her from above . “ If you’d just behaved yourself from the start , none of this would’ve happened .
“ Now you have to write a self – reflection. You really brought this on yourself . Oh , and let me make this clear , I’m not forgiving you . That post is staying up . ”
With that , Winifred turned to leave , but Iris reached out to stop her . “ We need to talk .”
Winifred brushed her hand away with obvious distaste . “ No need , Dr. Iris . I’m the type who likes to mind my own business and expects others to do the same . As long as the Grant family knows how to act , everyone can stay happy . ”
A flash of murderous intent flickered in Iris’s eyes . She actually dares to threaten me ? ‘ she thought , her gaze turning icy
‘ Does she really think she can just act like nothing ever happened and get away with it ? What a naive fantasy , Iris fumed inwardly .
‘ I can’t keep Winifred around , ‘ Iris thought coldly , already plotting her next move .
“ All you ever do is cry . Go ahead , cry me a river , ” Iris snapped , shoving Sylvie aside in utter annoyance .
She hadn’t even had a chance to announce her return in style , and now this scandal had already blown up in her face .
