Although I didn\u2019t know exactly how it was handled that day, I heard from my Homeroom Teacher that Mom, Arthur, and the police talked for a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Mom brought me an agreement and asked me to sign it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t make sense of most of the legal jargon, catching only the phrase [20% shares of The Sterling Group].\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shocked, I wanted to refuse, but Mom smiled and said: \u201cTake it, sweetheart. Most of this represents my blood, sweat, and tears. It\u2019s only right they give it back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Standing beside her, Dad smiled and nodded at me too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, when I returned to school, I learned that Arthur had sent Marcus abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for his cronies, they all faced various disciplinary actions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their families also had to pay significant compensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer told me, \u201cIf their parents hadn\u2019t been so cooperative, I wouldn\u2019t have let them off so easily!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I finished middle and high school without incident and was eventually admitted to a prestigious university.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mom and Dad celebrated with smiles, and Mom personally designed several outfits for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stroked my hair: \u201cSweetheart, go explore the world, go as far as you can.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But remember, Mom will always be right here behind you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I nodded earnestly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
