“Fred, stop!”Olivia immediately grabbed Fred’s hand and shook her head to stop him from taking action.Fred had just been released on bail. If he got into trouble again, he would definitely be targeted, and it would make it harder to clear his charges. “Pheebs.”How could Fred just watch as his older sister was being bullied?Noticing that he was still reluctant, Olivia gave him a stern look.With Olivia glaring at him, Fred did not dare to act. All he could do was snort coldly and pull his hand away.Olivia ignored his displeasure and turned to look up at the aggressive fat woman. “Did Sam injure your son?”“Yes!”The fat woman seemed to still be fuming. She raised her hand to hit Olivia again.However, her hand was stopped in mid-air.“Billy’s Mom, what are you doing? We agreed to discuss this civilly, so why have you lost your temper again?”Olivia recognized the person who spoke. He was Sam’s homeroom teacher, a young man named Mr. Leeds.‘I wonder if Sam had scratch
“You brat! What nonsense are you going on about? When did we ever bully you or your sister? Stop spreading lies!”The fat woman was also annoyed by this. “My son bullied you and your sister? Don’t make up such elaborate lies! Ask everyone present. Does anyone believe what you claim?”“I do!”Before the fat woman could finish speaking, Olivia answered resolutely. “I believe him!”For a moment, everyone fell silent and stared at her aggressively. It was as if they were thinking of how they would refute her.“What does that matter? You’re his mother, so naturally, you would protect him!”Olivia glanced up at all of them, gently squeezed Sam’s trembling hand, then said to him softly, “Don’t be afraid. I believe you. I will stand by your side.” Then, she turned to look at the police officer approaching them.“May I see the video of my son damaging the cars?”Upon hearing this, the police officer nodded and turned to show Olivia the video.“We have conclusive evidence regarding th
“You!”Fred wanted to step forward to stop her but was stopped by Olivia.“Mr. Leeds, how do you intend to deal with this matter? Are you going to wait until I find out what happened before suing them for slandering and bullying my son?”Mr. Leeds was a smart man. He knew that even after suffering a loss, the rich were still better off than ordinary people, so he understood immediately.“Billy’s Mom, get up, quick. This is the police station, not the school. If you continue to cause trouble, you will be locked up.”Billy’s mother was still reluctant, so Mr. Leeds added, “When the time comes, you will have been the unreasonable one, and that would only worsen the situation. I will definitely give you an answer regarding this matter. Trust me, okay?”Once she heard this, Billy’s mother glared at Olivia then got up helplessly.“I demand an explanation for what happened today!”Olivia did not want to argue with her at all, so she just glanced at her uncaringly. “Explanation? Of c
The situation was actually very simple. It was nothing more than these teachers collectively excluding Sam and Lyla. Even when they were being bullied by their classmates, the teachers turned a blind eye. There were many rumors about Olivia. On top of that, Lyla was poisoned and hospitalized. All of this annoyed Sam.However, the question still stood: why did the teachers and classmates behave like this? It was as if it was all organized and premeditated.‘Is someone instigating this from behind the scenes?‘Hera?’However, Olivia felt that this did not make sense.After John’s accident, Hera disappeared, so she had no reason to cause any more trouble.However, Olivia genuinely could not think of anyone else.Dorothy was still in the mental hospital and had not been able to leave at all.Who else could it be?Olivia’s head was about to explode, but she could not figure out why.Unexpectedly, that night, she received a phone call.“Phoebe, are you not ashamed of yourself? Why
After having thought about it all through the night, Olivia still could not come up with anyone suspicious. Instead, she only made herself dizzy.As she was packing up and on her way to visit Lyla, she suddenly received a call from Mr. Leeds.“Mrs. Quinton, I have bad news. Please contact Mr. Quinton as what he is doing would make things very difficult for us.”Olivia did not know what he was referring to, so she frowned and asked, “What happened?”“Mrs. Quinton, don’t you know? Aren’t you the one who asked him to do this?”“What happened?”“Mr. Quinton went to the school and took Billy and other students, as well as several teachers.”How did Zac find out? She clearly told Fred not to tell him.Yet, at this moment, she did not have time to think about that. So, she just replied, “I see. I’ll come right over.”After hanging up the phone, she went to Lyla’s ward and frowned when she learned that Lyla was still not awake. Why had she not woken up?Noticing her worried expressio
‘Is he threatening me?’Olivia had a smile on her lips and there was no trace of fear on her face. “You mean to say that you’re allowed to bully my son and daughter, but I’m not allowed to point it out? Otherwise, my whole family will die, right?”“Mrs. Quinton, watch your words. I never said that I wanted your whole family to die. What is the status of Quinton Group in Ocean City? Knowing that, how could I dare to provoke Quinton Group?”As he said that, the principal sneered. “It’s just that, if it weren’t for the support of the Quinton Group, you would have surely caused a big problem if you continued to make such a fuss.”“Oh? Really?”Olivia glared at him calmly. “I wonder if my ears are playing tricks on me. Why does it sound like you’re threatening me?”“Threatening you? Who would dare to threaten you, Mrs. Quinton? Isn’t this just a trivial matter between children? Yet, you had so many people come here to catch them. If I were to threaten you, wouldn’t you have me killed,
“You!”The principal turned red with anger. He wanted to refute her but did not dare.After all, even after suffering a loss, the rich were still better off than ordinary people.He also knew very well that even if Olivia divorced Zac, she still had her own identity. If he went too far, he would definitely face the consequences.Not to mention that now, with Mr. Quinton supporting her, it would be even more difficult.However, if he succumbed, he would lose his dignity and prestige.Moreover, how would he explain this to the board of directors?Just when he figured that it would be impossible for him to stop halfway, his secretary hurried over.“Principal, the director wants to see you.”As soon as he heard the word ‘director’, the headmaster swayed and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.‘Did they alert the director so quickly?’Although flustered, he had to pretend to be calm since Olivia was still present. Then, he glared at the secretary unhappily. “Don’t you see that
Olivia’s first thought was that something had happened to Lyla, so she quickly asked, “Did Lyla’s condition worsen?”Who could have known that after a pause, Ken denied it. “It’s not Lyla. Just come back for now, quickly. There isn’t much time left.”If not Lyla, then who?Could it be Harry?Harry’s condition had already stabilized, had it not?She wanted to ask further, but Ken had already hung up. All that was left was a flurry of dial tones, causing a sense of mysterious uneasiness in her heart.Fred carried Olivia into the car. “What is it, Liv?”Olivia returned to her senses and shook her head. “I don’t know, but Ken asked us to head back quickly.”“Okay, sit tight. I’ll speed a little.”“Okay.”Olivia grabbed the safety belt tightly, her brows knitted into a tight knot as the uneasiness in her heart grew.…When they arrived at the hospital, Fred stopped the car, carried Olivia down, and saw Ken standing in the lobby looking unusually solemn.Olivia’s heart jerked, a
