Eudora was incredibly exasperated!
Eudora swore that she had never met someone so ridiculous before!
Seeing that Amos stopped talking, Betty continued to shout, âWhatâs wrong? You donât dare to do anything, do you?â
The next second, Eudora threw a punch at her.
Her fist landed on her chin.
Before Betty could say anything, Eudora decided to butt in first, âEveryone, she was the one who asked me to hit her, right?! Iâve never heard of such a request!â
Betty screamed in pain. Then, she saw Willard, the principal of the school, walking by.
She quickly shouted for him, âMr. Willard! Mr. Willard!! Iâm getting beaten up!â
Willard heard her and rushed over towards them. He was about to ask them some questions, but upon seeing Amos, he hurried forward and said, âMr. Granger, welcome to our school! Weâve received the investment money from your assistant. In order to express our gratitude to you, we will build a new school building and have it named after you. What do youâ¦â
âThereâs no need for that!â Amos shook his head, âMy name doesnât sound that good, so just call it Peaceful Building.â
âPeaceful?â Willard nodded with satisfaction, âMr. Granger, thatâs a good idea. Peace, that is exactly what the school needs!â
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a shrill scream coming from behind him.
Willard frowned and turned around just to see Betty throwing a tantrum.
âMr. Willard, I demand justice!â
Willard was utterly taken aback, but he still asked politely, âMadam, what can I help you with?â
âHow dare you still ask me that? Canât you see that Iâm being bullied? Mr. Willard, you must be fair and impartial in your actions!â
Willard gestured to the secretary beside him and ordered, âHelp this lady up. Whatâs going on?â
Betty pointed to Amos, âItâs him who bullied me. Not only him, but even his wife and daughter bullied me too!â
Willard looked at Amos and his family, who all appeared polite and gentle. When he looked back at Betty, who was making a scene, his expression turned gloomy.
He replied, âMadam, thatâs not possible. President Granger donated a building to our school and has also helped our impoverished students. Besides, the Granger family has always been generous in their charity work in Rosaville City. Their family is highly educated. Why would they bully you?â
Betty gritted her teeth, âItâs true! That woman beat me up just now! If you donât believe me, you can ask everyone. Everyone here saw it with their own eyes!â
Willard then looked at the crowd and asked, âIs that so?â
Since the incident took place on campus, the onlookers present naturally were the parents who had come to participate in the ceremony. Almost all of them had witnessed Betty making a scene. Furthermore, it was not her first time doing such a thing.
Some parents here had already been harmed by her unreasonable behavior.
Moreover, Willard just said that Amos had made so many contributions to the school. Naturally, they stood on the side of justice.
As a result, they all shook their heads at the same time.
âNo! Sheâs the one who was causing trouble. The family of three has always been very well-behaved, but she kept pestering them!â
Betty was about to shout again, but Willard interrupted her coldly.
âThatâs enough! Madam, the event is about to start. I hope you wonât cause trouble here again, alright?â
âBut Iâ¦â
âIf you press on, we might have to reconsider your childâs enrolment here!â
Hearing this, Dylan became anxious. Initially, he had been standing far away, but he was now quickly going up towards Willard.
âMr. Willard, donât listen to her nonsense. Our son is obedient and has done nothing bad. You canât expel him!â
He then turned his head and scolded Betty, âShut up!â
Betty was still dissatisfied.
This time, even her son grew upset, âMom, stop it! Youâre so embarrassing!â
In the end, Betty finally stopped causing trouble for her sonâs sake. After that, Willard smiled and invited Amos, Eudora and Juju into the school.
A group of people followed behind them and looked at Amos with admiration.
They complimented the family, âOh, my God. How can they look so good together? They look like a painting!â
âThatâs right. Their child has already grown so much, but her parents have still maintained their looks so well. My husbandâs belly is even bigger than mine when I was eight months pregnant!â
âThatâs not too bad. Meanwhile, my husband has gone bald!â
â¦
After entering the school, Eudora looked at Amos suspiciously.
She asked, âWhen did you make a donation? Why donât I know about it?â
Amos curved his lips and smiled, âAfter you told me about all that last night, I asked Clint to arrange for a donation!â
Eudora was puzzled, âYou made a donation just because of that?â
Amos said vaguely, âIt was just a spur of the moment decision! I just thought of giving it a try. Didnât you say it feels good to do charity work? Arenât you happy now?â
Truthfully, Eudora thought little of it. With Amosâ status, wealth was not that big of a deal anymore. As long as he was helping others, she held no other opinions at all.
However, they had just come here for an entrance ceremony. How did it turn out to become a celebrity meet and greet?
All the childrenâs parents had become fans of their family, and she was the star of the show.
No matter where she went, parents would come up and talk to her. They were so enthusiastic that she could not handle their friendliness.
Juju was also facing the same problem.
In the past, after Amos had gone away, Eudora had lectured a few of the troublemakersâ parents. The parents had pretended to listen to her advice, but their children still kept ostracizing Juju in school.
Juju had not had a friend in school for a while, but she did not tell Eudora about the matter because she was afraid that her mother would feel sad.
Today, many girls approached Juju and struck up conversations with her.
They talked about cartoons and storybooks. Juju had originally thought that she only liked activities like shooting and fighting, which were typically more liked by boys.
However, when they started talking about other things, such as dolls and other more girly things, she actually held an interest towards them!
It turned out that although she looked strong on the outside, she had dreamt of being a princess before.
She too, longed for friends, especially girls, to play with her!
On the way back, Eudora looked at Juju, who was hugging a bunch of dolls with her face flushed. She then looked at herself. After being thanked so sincerely by so many people, her heart was filled with joy.
She finally understood something.
She leaned her head on Amosâ shoulder and said, âActually, youâre not just doing this for charity. Youâre trying to help Juju and I so that we can hold our heads up high, no?â
Amosâs lips curled up and he said, âThen, can you hold your head up high now?â
Eudora nodded, âOf course I can! Did you notice Betty afterwards? No one talked to her and her family had to sit in the corner quietly. She looked so defeated!â
Seeing her talking so happily, Amos stroked the top of her head with his hand.
He said, âAs long as youâre happy, nothing else matters!â
