Vivian finally felt secure in her brothersâ embrace. She eventually calmed down.
âAlright. Tell us now. What happened? You and Mommy left suddenly, and we could not reach you.
Where have you been? Whereâs Mommy?â Matteo probed.
Right then, Ian also let go of the hug and stared at her with concerns.
Vivian stared at them and took a deep breath before replying, âThat old man chased us out. He said he
would not allow Mommy to take care of Daddy and you two.â
âI knew it was him!â Matteo was utterly enraged.
Right then, a dark expression loomed over Ianâs face as well.
He never liked Jonathan from the start. And now, he hated him even more.
âWhat happened after that?â
âMommy went to find Uncle Devin. He arranged a place for us to stay, and he got Mommy a job at the
hospital. No one is home to take care of me, so Mommy sent me to a school. I-Iâ¦â
As Vivian mentioned that, her eyes began brimming with tears again.
Matteo, who grew up with her, instantly understood what had happened to her.
âBast*rd! How dare she bully my sister!â He stomped his feet in exasperation.
Ianâs expression was gloomy, but he was more composed compared to his brother as he asked Vivian
for more details.
Only then did she elaborate on the grievances she had suffered in school. Her cheeks were wet when
she finished telling her brothers about the bullying and scolding.
âSon of a b*tch!â
Matteo saw red. He wanted to murder the teacher, and those who had bullied his sister.
Ian stopped him immediately. âHold on a second. Thereâs no way you can go out like this. Surely that old
man is watching outside.â
âWhat then? We canât just drop it!â
âOf course not. Iâll never allow anyone to bully Vivi. You wait and see.â Upon saying that, Ian stood up
and went out.
A few minutes later, the guards who sent them to school every day showed up.
âListen to me carefully. Weâre going to Sakura Elementary School now to get revenge for Vivi. You have
two optionsâsend us there, or weâll disappear in front of you.â
Ian did not intend to hide their plan at all.
Matteo widened his eyes at his twin in bewilderment.
Is he out of his mind? How could he tell them the plan? They will surely try to stop us!
Those guards cast a condescending and amused look at Ian
âMr. Ian, are you kidding us? Did you just say youâll disappear in front of us?â
âThatâs right, Mr. Ian. We know you donât like to come to this school, but itâs useless to threaten us.â
As expected, they did not take the boyâs words seriously.
Ian glared coldly at the men and turned around to walk out of the classroom.
The guards were left in total befuddlement.
After a few minutes, they suddenly heard a white noise in their walkie-talkie earpiece. Then it was
complete silence.
âWhatâs this?â
They were stunned momentarily, unable to wrap their heads around it.
Upon seeing the guardsâ reaction, Matteo understood what Ian wanted to do. He pointed at their cell
phones and the watches on their wrists.
At that moment, it startled the guards when they realized their phones had lost signal while their watches
and tracking devices had malfunctioned.
They were beyond horrified.
âYou guysâ¦â
âRelax. We want you to understand the fact that weâre good kids. Havenât we been behaving well all this
while? So listen. After we settle Viviâs matter, everything will be fine.â
Matteo shrugged his shoulders, acting all innocent.
Those guardsâ heart fell with a thud, utterly intimidated by the two boys.
An extensive entourage walked out of the school minutes later. Their sole purpose was to go to Vivianâs
school for revenge.
Meanwhile, after their sister left school, no one seemed to bother to look for her. Even the homeroom
teacher did not ask why a student was missing.
âWho are you guys? No outsiders are allowed to enter the school during school hours.â
âReally? No one is allowed in? But a student allowed to go out?â Matteo sneered at the despicable
security guard at the gate.
âKid, whatâre you talking about? During school hours, no one is allowed in or out!â
