Matthias let out a dry laugh, not bothering to respond to Harry.Angered by Matthias' dismissive attitude, Harry stood up abruptly and pointed at Matthias as he shouted, "This matter is far from over! Your daughter stole someone else's stuff, a dishonest child!"And you slapped Mrs. Palmer three times, breaking the law. Now, apologize to Mrs. Palmer and have your daughter return the necklace she stole. "If you refuse, expect her to be expelled from kindergarten tomorrow!"Matthias' eyes flashed with a murderous glint as he stared at Harry."Aren't you going to investigate this situation before jumping to conclusions? What if this woman is lying?"Harry growled, "How dare you! Didn't you hear what I said? Why would someone of her status lie? Now, do as I say! The apple surely doesn't fall far from the tree! Your behavior is the worst I've seen from a parent."He was determined to support Barbara, believing that he would earn her gratitude by doing so."Apologize? I'm not accept
Harry struggled to stand, his face twisted in fury as he shouted, "How dare you! Do you have a death wish?"He was a leader, after all, and being assaulted by a mere parent was beyond humiliating."Mr. Murray, help me!" Barbara cried out, her mouth bleeding from the merciless slaps."Stop right now! Are you out of your mind?" Harry yelled, charging toward Matthias.However, Matthias delivered another powerful kick before Harry could reach him.That impact immediately shattered Harry's teeth!Barbara was terrified and hurriedly pleaded, "Please, stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"Harry lay motionless on the floor, afraid of receiving Matthias' wrath again.Matthias looked down at them, his voice cold and steady."I know you're both bitter about this. Fine. Call whoever you want. I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget!"Barbara trembled but dared not argue, praying desperately for Titus' swift arrival.On the other hand, Harry seethed with rage, plotting how he would ex
"Darling, I'm here! Who hit you? I'll kill him!" Titus roared as he rushed into the room, utterly clueless about the situation.He ran straight to Barbara, who was still kneeling on the ground."Who was so bold to hit Mrs. Palmer? They must have a death wish!""Mrs. Palmer, don't worry. We're here. No matter who the other person is, we'll make sure he kneels and beg for forgiveness today!""Mr. Palmer, you can't let this slide. We should break that guy's legs first and make him kneel at the kindergarten entrance!"The group of men that had followed Titus into the room shouted arrogantly."Enough! Open your eyes and see who you're dealing with! Are you trying to pick a fight with me?" Brock suddenly yelled, his face twisted in anger.Titus was just about to fire back when he finally registered Brock's presence, and his words stuck in his throat.Titus and his men were too focused on Barbara when they rushed into the office, not noticing Brock and the others.The sight of Brock
Barbara slapped Avelyn hard across the face, her voice dripping with frustration as she scolded her daughter."You idiot! What nonsense are you spouting? If it weren't for you bugging me constantly, I wouldn't have done something so stupid!"Avelyn immediately burst into tears, her expression a mix of confusion and hurt.However, Matthias remained unmoved by their pitiful display. If it were not for the fact that they were females, they would have already met a much grimmer fate at his hands.Before long, Simon was brought into the room, with Alpha trailing right behind him.As soon as Alpha learned about what had happened at the kindergarten, he rushed over, arriving just as Simon was escorted in.Alpha stormed into the room angrily and shouted, "Brock, you idiot! You were lucky that we let things slide for what happened last time! What? Do you think we're pushovers?"How the hell did you let something like this happen on your watch? Ms. Lowell gets assaulted at school, and you
When Matthias and his group left the kindergarten, Sophie remained seated in the office, her heart still racing with disbelief.It felt like a dream.Just moments ago, she had been devastated, certain she had lost her job.Then, everything changed.Brock and Dominic had arrived at the school, and she witnessed a scene she would never forget.However, the most surprising part was what Matthias said as he left."You're Sophie Glover, right? From now on, you're the headmistress. I hope you'll always stay true to yourself."Just like that, Sophie had become the headmistress—Havenwood's youngest ever.Tears of joy streamed down her face at the sudden surprise, and she could not help but feel incredibly grateful that she had always acted according to her conscience.It had brought her an opportunity beyond her wildest dreams.As days passed, Leona remained unaware of the incident at the kindergarten because Matthias had taken care of everything and did not want to burden her with t
"Despite having no support, she managed to own such a big company. It's quite impressive. While it's nothing compared to our family's, her company is promising. If managed well, its future could be limitless."Our family has been looking to expand in Havenwood, and Wealthtrack Financial Corporation seems like an excellent opportunity," Carlile commented.Nadine frowned, her eyes reddening as she looked at Carlile."Carlile, don't even think about going after her company. I know you're thinking of the family's interests, but we owe her too much. We should be making amends, not taking from her."Carlile was clearly displeased but nodded without saying a word.Nadine felt relieved, but worry quickly set in.She wondered if bringing her husband to Havenwood was the right decision.The Reilley family was known for prioritizing profit over family ties. If they learned the truth about the situation in Havenwood, they would surely seize the chance to establish a foothold there.Despite
Matthias was momentarily stunned when he received Leona's call and was informed that her biological parents had shown up. However, he quickly collected himself and rushed to her side.Matthias mulled over the information Leona had just shared with him, and his eyes flickered with doubt.Half of the prominent families in St. Merilo were aware of Leona's adoption by the Whitney family.Hence, when her supposed biological parents suddenly appeared, Matthias could not help but feel suspicious."Alpha, I need you to investigate Carlile Reilley and his wife. Find out everything about their background. I want all the information you can get," Matthias instructed Alpha over the phone.Upon arriving at Wealthtrack, Matthias headed straight for the reception room.The sound of two women crying could be heard from afar.Leona was huddled in a corner, her face a mix of sorrow and hatred.Nadine was sobbing in Carlile's arms, her face full of guilt and concern as she gazed at Leona."Leona
When she was younger, Leona often dreamed of her biological parents coming to take her home, and she had imagined countless scenarios of their reunion.As she grew older, those naive thoughts faded, but a sense of longing occasionally remained.Then, she had Danielle.After enduring a living hell on earth to survive with her child for those three years, she had given up any hope for her biological parents.If they had abandoned her to fend for herself back then, she decided she would treat them as if they never existed.Furthermore, where were they when she was at her lowest and needed help the most?She finally had her own family and a stable career, and it was too late for them to claim her as their daughter!With that thought, Leona tugged at Matthias' arm, ready to leave.However, Carlile suddenly spoke up, his face flushed with anger."You should think carefully. Not everyone gets the chance to become part of the Reilley family. Yes, we abandoned you, and your mom and I f
