Quincy hemmed and hawed for a while before squeezing the words out of his lips. “Well, nothing happened to him. It was his teacher… H-He beat up his teacher.”Maisie took a deep breath and turned her head around to look at Nolan. “Did you hear that? That’s your son. What are you going to do about it?”Nolan cleared his throat and nodded. “Yes, it’s my fault. I’ll punish him later when we get home.”By the time Maisie and Nolan got to the school, Colton and Daisie were being scolded and criticized in the school office.Colton was not injured. Instead, they heard that the middle-aged teacher who had taken a beating had a bruise on his face, and there was a bite mark on the back of his hand. When Daisie saw Maisie, she rushed up to her and said with her mouth pouted, “Mommy!” She hugged Daisie in her arms and asked worriedly, “Can you tell me what happened to you and Colton?”She was very certain that Colton and Daisie wouldn’t simply hit their teacher. There must be a reason or
Nolan looked expressionless, but the emotional turbulence surging at the bottom of his eyes looked stern and borderline murderous. “Did you lay your fingers on my daughter?”“I… I didn’t. This is all just a misunderstanding, sir. I only wanted to give Daisie some extra lessons. It’s just that this girl was a little extreme.” Hunter tried to defend himself.Nolan’s eyes looked gloomy, and he kept on staring at Hunter without uttering a single word, but it was enough to send chills down Hunter’s spine.Colton scoffed coldly. “You were clearly bullying Daisie!”Hunter calmed himself down deep down. “Colton, what you’re saying is slandering me, your teacher!”After Hunter tried his best to defend himself and rectify his actions, Maisie, who had been silent, chuckled casually. “I don’t think this is a misunderstanding.”Hunter tried his best to cover himself. “Madam, you must be able to put forward some evidence when you say something like that.”“It’s not that I don’t have any evide
‘He might have promised that he would investigate the incident meticulously, but if Joe hadn’t come over just now, I’m afraid that he would definitely come up with something to cover up the incident again.’Nolan had seen through all of this long ago, but he stood up since the principal had already made him a promise. “Then I’ll wait for the school to provide me with a satisfactory answer later on.”The principal bowed and nodded in his drenched shirt. “Don’t worry, Mr. Goldmann. I’ll be on it right after this.”Nolan stayed behind to deal with this matter while Maisie took the children away from the principal’s office first.Colton kept on complaining about the teacher from the beginning to the end, so Maisie lifted her hand to rub his head. “Mommy is very happy that you were able to protect your sister, but hitting your teacher is really not the right thing to do.”Having said that, she leaned over, stared at him, and flicked her fingers against his forehead. “And not only did y
Ryleigh was a little surprised when she heard that Joe had stopped practicing medicine and had become an English teacher. “He actually changed his career path?”Maisie fidgeted the pen in her hand. “I only found out about it recently.”Ryleigh leaned on the back of the couch, “It’s been a long time since I last contacted Joe. Why don’t we fix a date and time for the three of us to get together someday?”Maisie looked at her. “Then we’ll still have to resolve your issue first. Didn’t you mention that Louis has found new evidence?”Speaking of this, Ryleigh picked up the pillow and hugged it in her arms. “Yeah, he’s found something.”Maisie propped her hand against her chin and let off a faint smile. “Then you have to show him your appreciation. He’s out there running around and investigating the little things just for you, so to be honest, I won’t believe anyone that says that he doesn’t have feelings for you.“Ryleigh’s expression looked weird. “Does he have feelings for me? Is t
It was a rainy day the next day.The cold autumn breeze blew against the car’s windows as the raindrops rolled down the foggy windows, blurring the scene outside of the car.The car was parked outside the hospital entrance, and Maisie got out of the car with an umbrella and opened it up. “Uncle Kennedy.”“Sorry to have to trouble you to come to pick me up even on a rainy day.” Kennedy took the umbrella in Maisie’s hand.“This is no big deal.” Maisie looked down at her watch. “I’ve already reserved a private room in a restaurant in advance on your behalf, and Aunty Samantha should have arrived at the restaurant.”Kennedy nodded and got into the car with her and the umbrella.When they reached the restaurant, the waiter led them to the private room and opened the door for them. Samantha was already sitting there waiting for them.Maisie stepped forward. “Aunty Samantha, sorry that we’ve kept you waiting for such a long time.”Samantha stood up slowly and replied with a smile, “Th
Eugene glanced at Kennedy, who was sitting beside Samantha, and mocked, “Oh, do you think that another man would take you in after your divorce?”Kennedy’s expression changed when he heard Eugene’s extremely rude comment. “Mr. Boucher, even though Ms. Green is your ex-wife, insulting her is really not something a man should do. Is this the upbringing of the Bouchers?”The insinuating sarcasm infuriated Eugene. “Just who do you think you are? How dare you judge me when I’m around?”Samantha was well aware of Eugene’s temper and was worried that he would really make a move on Kennedy. “Eugene Boucher, if what you aim to do here is to create a stir, then get out of here and do it elsewhere.”“Oh, you’re already starting to defend him?”Eugene did not give in at all. He walked up to Kennedy and grabbed him by the hem of his collar. “If you want to stand up for this woman, you’ll have first to see just how capable you are.”Kennedy stared directly at him with his unwavering gaze. “So
Eugene took a deep breath. Ιt was not optimum for him to make any move rashly now that Helios was present. “I’m not looking to cause them any trouble.”“Then why did you bring these people here?” Francisco pointed at the bodyguards. “What are you b*stards doing? You better take your hands off him! Νone of you is allowed to make a move on anyone in this room!”The bodyguards looked at Eugene with embarrassed expressions. Eugene then waved his hands impatiently, motioning them to step back.Eugene glared at Francisco, and his expression looked gloomy. “You, you’re coming back with me.”Francisco crossed his arms as if he was about to lodge a complaint about his father’s doing. “I’ll definitely go with you. I’m going to tell Grandfather everything that just happened.”“You…”Francisco ignored him and walked to Helios’s side. “Bro, I’ll leave my mother to you.”Helios nodded.Francisco then looked back at Maisie and waved at her with a grin when he walked to the door. “Little godde
At the nursing home…Water droplets dripped off the eaves and onto the leaves of a potted plant sitting on the windowsill. Anthony sat on the couch, flipping through a photo album and feeling extremely melancholic.His daughter had been hurt and had fallen into a long coma. He had been guarding her for a decade and had no idea how long this would last.Louis stood at the door and knocked on the door, which caused Anthony to put the album down. “Who are you?” he asked in a hoarse voice.“My name is Louis Lucas.”“Mr. Lucas?” Anthony was a little bewildered. “Why would you come to me, Mr. Lucas?”Louis glanced at the person lying on the bed and explained, “I’ve come here today with someone else.”Anthony did not understand what he meant, so he only stood in place and watched as Louis asked his bodyguard to bring the person in.It was an old man in his 60s whom he did not know.Anthony asked, “This is?”Louis replied, “He used to be a security guard of the University of Northway
