Chapter 331 Arabella Scolds Franklin
Dashiell was speechless.
This sweater, which seemed like it had no particular design, was actually hand-knitted by Aurora?
Looking closer, the beadwork and pearls were top-notch.
The top few pearls were smooth and shiny, without a single flaw, probably high-end items bought at auctions.
Juniper grinned, "My mom's not the best at making stuff, but she loves doing it! And only we have them, my dad and brothers don't!"
To Juniper, anything made by Aurora was a source of pride.
The value of this sweater wasn't in the expensive materials. Some parts had dropped stitches, creating big holes, and one sleeve was tighter than the other, but that didn't matter...
What mattered was that it was a gift from Aurora!
Dashiell asked, surprised, "Does Catherine wear hers too?"
"Of course! Catherine can make her own clothes and never complains about Aurora's skills. Why wouldn't she wear it?"
To keep Aurora from straining her eyes while knitting, Catherine had taken her half-finished sweater and made a few adjustments before wearing it.
Juniper's sweater was worn in a hurry before Catherine could fix it.
She asked, puzzled, "Does it look bad?"
The sweater, upon closer inspection, wasn't particularly attractive, but it had a very... unique style.
Dashiell struggled for a moment before saying, "It's... very special. I thought the Windsor family didn't value you, but now I see that's not the case. I'm relieved."
Juniper frowned. "Why would you think that?"
After learning about Juniper's identity, Brandon took her home without hesitation!
Brandon was ready to fight Evander for her.
Aurora, after finding out about her past, had snuck into Juniper's room several times at night to cry quietly.
Juniper had pretended to sleep, watching Aurora wipe her tears, feeling a pang in her heart...
Her brothers in the Windsor family, though silent, had secretly added a lot of money to her account during that time.
Her sister had always stayed by her side, worried about her mood...
She understood that she had made her family worry!
It was because the Windsor family loved her and cared for her!
Dashiell, feeling awkward, quickly changed the subject.
"Remember I told you about the Harrison family planning to invest in an amusement park? The location has been chosen. Want to go check it out with me?"
Juniper thought for a moment.
"No, I need to get back to the lab today. Just send me the details of the amusement park."
Dashiell had planned to take Juniper out for a meal, but she waved him off and left after saying that.
Juniper had to prepare for an upcoming research summit and had no time for lunch with Dashiell!
It was a chance to meet her idol, Alioth! She had to cherish it.
Watching Juniper leave, a determined look appeared in Dashiell's eyes.
"No worries, we have plenty of time..."
He took out his phone and called his assistant.
"Contact the elders of the Harrison family and have them pressure Grandpa to bring Juniper back to the Harrison family and change her last name to Harrison."
If he could get Juniper away from the Windsor family and back to the Harrison family, there would be a chance to use her in the future!
Dashiell knew it wouldn't be easy, but he always enjoyed a challenge.
The assistant hesitated, "I'm afraid the Windsor family and the Howard family won't agree to this..."
Dashiell smiled nonchalantly. "Isn't there someone still lying in Bright Heal Hospital? Let's make use of her."
"Yes, Mr. Harrison."

At Imperial University.
Franklin felt extremely uncomfortable with the people surrounding him. Dealing with Samuel alone was already tough, let alone with Arabella and Felix there too.
Arabella sat on the couch with a cold smile. "Franklin, if you don't give Catherine an explanation, you can expect Imperial University to be torn apart!"
Franklin looked at her, frowning. "Aren't you blind?"
She didn't look blind at all.
Arabella retorted sarcastically, "Even blind, I'm better than someone with a blind heart. Do you have a brain injury? Can't you see who's been wronged here? Are you still trying to protect that student?"
"Is that student your biological child? They don't look like you. At least they have a nose and eyes, unlike you, who looks like a single-celled organism."
At his age and position, Franklin hadn't heard such blunt and insulting language in years.
"Arabella! Are you here to cause trouble?"
Arabella slammed the table in anger. "I'm here to move your parents' graves! To see if they did something wrong to have a jerk like you!"
Franklin was so angry he almost couldn't breathe.
Felix, ignoring Arabella's outburst, smiled and said, "Franklin, Arabella has a bad temper and poor health. She has depression. You should cut her some slack."
Depression? With her attitude, Franklin felt like he was the one about to get depressed.
Samuel stepped in to mediate. "How about this? As the principal, you need to balance all sides, but we only stand by Catherine. As her family, we'll seek justice for her in our own way."
Franklin asked warily, "What do you plan to do?"
Samuel calmly replied, "We may be old, but we can still release all the evidence and clear her name."
With Samuel's influence in the academic circle, the news would spread within an hour.
"Let things be as they should."
"Of course, including your decisions. I'll make them public too. Don't worry, I'm not like you. I don't distort the truth."
Samuel continued calmly, "Catherine's works are featured in my new book. Her creations are treasures! They shouldn't be stolen and disrespected."
Brandon nodded in agreement. "Mr. Morales, just because Catherine is smart doesn't mean she should tolerate others!"
If Samuel released the information, both Imperial University and Franklin's reputations would suffer.
Franklin, torn, gritted his teeth. "Alright, I'll ask Catherine what she wants to do!"
No one objected.
Franklin called Catherine and put her on speaker.
Before Catherine could speak, Franklin sternly said, "Catherine, think carefully. Not everyone in this world is free from mistakes."
Catherine raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Mr. Morales, are you trying to train me to obey? Or to humiliate me?"
"That's not my intention! Your family wants to know how you want to handle this."
Catherine replied coolly, "Asking me? Then, of course, expel them!"
