Meanwhile, Alexander and his wife, who were on the stairs, were so embarrassed that they shifted awkwardly and quickly turned around to look away."Geez," Francine muttered, "I didn't know our son could be so shameless!""Geez," Alexander exclaimed with pride, "I didn't know our son could be so good at it!"Renee mustered up all her strength to kick Stefan off her body and shot up to her feet. She tried her best to straighten her messy hair and clothes and said, "Mom, Dad, would you… would you like a cup of tea?""Oh, don't worry about us! You're both clearly very busy right now, so we won't trouble you. Your dad and I were just passing through."After that, Francine quickly dragged Alexander away, and they were gone."Oh god, I'm done for! My image is completely and permanently ruined! What will your parents and all your relatives think of me from now on?!"Renee buried her flushed red face in her hands out of bashfulness. She felt like crying, but no tears came out. She though
"Fine!"Stefan's renowned haughtiness finally gave way to Renee's gentle persuasions. He turned the steering wheel with one hand while he tousled her hair with the other. "For the sake of my angelic wife, I won't stoop to their level today."And so, they agreed to part ways—Stefan drove away and headed towards the open-air parking lot less than half a mile away, while Renee got out of the car and queued up in front of the kindergarten gate and waited her turn to pick up her kids. Once the kids were with her, Stefan drove back to the kindergarten, and they would meet up again.In fact, many other parents had opted to do the same thing because there were just too few parking spots in front of the kindergarten, so it did not matter whether you were a powerful official or a common citizen, once they became parents, they had to abide the rules to set a good example for their children.Meanwhile, the Panamera boastfully screeched to a halt in the parking spot that Stefan had just given u
"Well, so you do know your place!" Jasmine crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised her chin high before she roared at Renee arrogantly, "Hurry up and kneel in apology. I won't hold you responsible for it." The surrounding parents tried to persuade Renee to give in. It was because Jasmine was Ethan's lover for many years. She had become quite arrogant because of how much he had spoiled her. The reason why she dared to be so arrogant was because she had given birth to a son for Ethan. It was a general fact that the Murphy family had only pronounced having a daughter called Seraphina, but in fact, Ethan's illegitimate son was more than four years old now. Jasmine was bold enough to even put Ethan's original wife down because of that illegitimate son. She also became very wilful and unscrupulous. "Great idea!" Renee cracked a smile and put on a queen's demeanor. She stated condescendingly, "I'm ready. You can kneel now." "You're so insensible. I asked you to get
Just when swords almost clashed, Ms. Apple, the class teacher, waved at them. "Ms. Everheart, Ms. Click, both of you happen to be here today. Please come over. I need to tell you something about your children." "Sure, Ms. Apple. I'll be there." Renee appeared devastatingly smug as she put on airs, but in the next second, she was full of smiles. She became brighter and gentler. Jasmine also quickly crawled back up and dusted off the dirt on her body. She also put on a very flattering front. "Ms. Apple, I'm coming!" Their humble and flattering looks were rather amusing. It was understandable. In today's world, women left their children to society as hostages, and the kindergarten teacher was the one who managed those hostages. So, nearly all parents, including the local dignitaries as well as the cleaners, would be flattering and humble in front of the kindergarten teacher. It was no exception for a pompous lady like Jasmine. Ms. Apple led them to the consulting zone of t
In comparison, Jasmine became more arrogant and ill-mannered. Ms. Apple quickly said to Renee, "Of course not. Adie and Abby are very smart and don’t create trouble at all. They never make me worry about them. But unfortunately, some students are more spoiled. They like to annoy or bully others, and it's giving all the teachers a very hard time..." When Ms. Apple mentioned that issue, she gave Jasmine and Hudson a cold glance before she sighed. "Adie and Abby have a great sense of justice, especially Adie. He's the prince and hero to all the girls in our class. Everyone likes him! "This noon, Huddie snatched a small cake from a girl in class. Adie boldly did the right thing and wanted to snatch the cake back for that girl, but Huddie was adamant about holding on to it. Eventually, he even threw the cake on Adie, and they broke into a fight. Seeing that, Abby quickly ran over to help Adie. And… they ended up in the state that you see now." After Jasmine heard the teacher's descrip
As soon as Jasmine made that statement, a man in a white suit with sunglasses barged into the place fiercely with three to four men in black suits. "Ms. Click, are you and Mr. Huddie okay?" The man in a white suit asked Jasmine nervously. "Ken, you guys are here at last. Hmm... Any later, and my son and I would've been chastised to the dump!" Jasmine grabbed the man's arm and complained about it while crying piteously. After that, she pointed at Renee and Renee's children. "They bullied Huddie and me. Even the teacher conspired with them..."Look at Huddie! His face was terrible with the scratches. If my man saw it, he'll feel very sorry!"You guys must take revenge for Huddie and me today. If not, my man will be greatly humiliated." Ken, Ethan's assistant, patted Jasmine's shoulders and consoled her softly, "Ms. Click, don't worry. My boss ordered me to make those who bullied you and Mr. Huddie pay a heavy price regardless of the mess it'll cause. We won't let any of them of
Hudson stood upright. He did not dare to move at all, and he burst into tears because he was frightened. "Mommy, I'm scared!" "You... Don't scare my son. Just come at me!" Jasmine pulled Hudson to her back. She was originally arrogant, but when she saw Ken and the others who collapsed on the ground from the fight, she turned cowardly, gulping in fear. "You... Just talk nicely. Why did you have to use violence?" "Didn't you guys say you want to resolve the issue with violence? What's wrong? Do you think... I'm not violent enough?" "No!" Jasmine admitted to her defeat and bowed her head. "I think it's very normal for kids to argue and fight among themselves. Adults shouldn't meddle. You also shouldn't... act so violently. Look at how scared the kids are!" "Okay, we won't resolve this with violence..." Renee paused briefly before she bent down to grin at Huddie. "Boy, say sorry to whomever you bullied. Otherwise, I'll get mad and hit your hips again." "Hmm... Waah! Mommy,
Stefan could tell that Renee was hiding something and stopped asking."That's right. It's a special day today, so I'm taking you to a special place. Let us celebrate as a family…"Stefan gripped the steering wheel, then planted his right foot on the gas pedal and drove into the unknown."Special day? What special place? Can you tell us?" Renee asked with a frown. What Stefan said earlier made her very curious."Nope." Stefan drove the car out of the school area with ease. Then, he turned into the Marine Highway at a quick pace. He said mysteriously, "Have a good sleep. The mystery will be unveiled in a few hours. Don't be too excited or faint from overexcitement."Although full of secrecy, Stefan's handsome cold face lit up with an irrepressible pleasure.Stefan had always dreamt of having his wife in the passenger seat and his children in the back seat. He was simply blessed to enjoy this moment in peace.As the car sped along the blue sea, the sunset burned in its boldest blaz
