Chapter 33 Although this was just a minor issue , Edmund would certainly be able to handle it . However , if Nyasia ended up with á criminal record , it would sound bad if word got out , and others would mock the Kuntz family . " Neeta , we're all family here . Let's talk things through calmly . I'll have Nya apologize to you right away … " " Who says we're family ? " Kaneeta shot her a glance and replied coldly . " Neeta … " Kaneeta ! " Edmund glared at her angrily . " Do you really have to be like this ? " He took a deep breath . " My patience has its limits . " Kaneeta found it amusing and was about to speak , but Atticus spoke up for her first . " Kid , are you kidding me ? Someone from your family deliberately pushed our Neeta , causing her a mild concussion , and now you say your patience has limits ? What have you had to endure ? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the victim ! Let me tell you , we will not let this matter go !" " Atticus , there's no need to waste words on him , " Kaneeta said wearily . " I'm tired . I want to sleep now ." " " Alright , " Atticus nodded quickly , then glared at Edmund . " Didn't you hear her ? Get out of here right now !

" The tone was indisputable , carrying a strong sense of oppression . Edmund clenched his fists tightly .

" Mr. Hartwell , Atticus , I'm sorry to trouble you both by calling you here so late . " " Child , why are you still being so polite with me ? " Atticus smiled kindly . " Mr. Hartwell isn't an outsider either , so don't feel any burden ." After all , he was her future husband . " Don't overthink it ," Woodrow said to Kaneeta . " Get some rest . I'll step out to make a call ." After Woodrow left the hospital room , Kaneeta couldn't help but ask Atticus , " Atticus , why did you tell Mr. Hartwell about this ? " " Ah ? You .. " Atticus quickly realized that Kaneeta probably still didn't know that Woodrow was her arranged fiancé . Since Matthew hadn't told her , he decided it was best not to say more . So he simply said vaguely , " Well , the Drayton family and the Hartwell family have grown quite close these past two years . happened to hear that Mr. Hartwell was in the area , so I mentioned it to him in passing . " I " It's fine if you told him , but please , don't tell my dad grandmother about this ." or my " I know , you've already told me , " Atticus sighed . " Child , you keep things like this from them ?
