Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Rachel Summer’s tone of voice was tinged with sadness. “Okay, okay, I know you’d still want to wait for that Commander of yours, right?

“Well… I don’t think you have to dwell on that dilemma too long. Who knows? Maybe after you’re back, you’d meet him somewhere while you’re walking on the streets?

“It’s true what people say, ‘if you want to hide for a while, hide in the woods, but if you wanna hide for a long time, hide in the cities’.”

Willow consoled Rachel softly as she meant what she said with all seriousness.

“I know, Willow.

“Let’s not talk more about this. When I’m back, I’ll eat from your hand, yea!”

Rachel was silent for a while before she waved her hands slightly and joked.

“No problem. I now manage the subbranch! “When you’re back, I’ll be sure to give you a job.” Willow answered with feigned arrogance as she chirped happily. “Wow! I’ll be sure to go to you then!” Rachel wowed Willow and they both hung up after that. Just as Willow placed her phone down, she thought about what had transpired the past two days and subconsciously glanced at the door.1 Then, she got up swiftly and stood by Sean’s room door, “Knock knock!”

She knocked softly.

“Sean, thank you.”

Willow mustered up all her courage and uttered her gratitude towards the door.

The room was quiet for a while before Sean’s voice wafted out of the room.

“Nothing to do with me. “It all came from your own efforts.”

Willow smiled. She loved this kind of tacit understanding between them.

The following day.

Sean drove Candy and her mother to the kindergarten where Candy went to school at.

It was the day where the kindergarten had Candy’s parents informed and had their presence requested to talk about what comes next.

Even though Candy may still be just a child, Sean did not back out of the promises he made.

“Hah! They are only bullying me because they see that I have no daddy! “However, I have Uncle Sean!

Hmph!” Candy waved her little fist in the air, looking full of spirit.

Leah Light shook her head helplessly as she saw how Candy was like. The only reason she allowed Sean to come along was that she did not want Candy to be disappointed.

Frankly speaking, Sean was just a powerless, crippled nobody. What can he do? “Principal Leed, who’s the parents of this brat? “Look at how badly my baby boy is hurt! Someone has to bear responsibility for this matter!”

Just as Sean and the rest were approaching the principal’s office, sneers, huffs, and puffs were heard from within it.

“Mr, Lowe, Mr. Lowe, please calm down. The other parent will be here soon.”

Right after that was a politely courteous voice.

Sean had a ture drafted out in his heart.

Since Levi Quinn, also known as Old Master Quinn had a fairly high ranking in the army, it was only natural that he would have made loads of enemies.

To avoid unwanted circumstances, all his offspring would have a little concealment put in place for safety measures.

This was also why, within the kindergarten, no one knew who Candy really was.

As the door opened, Sean and the rest entered the principal’s office.

A few teachers, a couple, and a little boy were in there.

Everyone was on their feet, except for that family of three, who had sneers on their faces as they sat in their seats.

“Mr. Lowe, they’re here.”

Principal Leed took a glance and announced their arrival to Mr. Lowe. “Hmph!” Mr. Lowe harrumphed coldly as he flicked his wrist as if he was showing off his status by displaying the Constantin watch on his hand. “Uncle Sean…”

Candy hid behind Sean, her little face was filled with anxiety.

“Yo, it seems like we’re still not done with our discussion from the last time.

“You’ve even gotten yourself back up this time! Why, do you want us to pity you that you have a cripple in your family?”

The little boy’s mother sneered and snickered, her face colored with cold, haughty unkindness.

Candy continued hiding behind Sean’s wheelchair, where Leah gritted her teeth subtly. “A mere cripple.

No wonder you can’t teach your own daughter properly.” Mr. Lowe coldly spoke as he caressed his watch.

The well-dressed boy was at the side, fully mirroring his parents as he blatantly looked down on the rest of them.

Leah wanted to explain their relationship with Sean, but Sean stopped her with a slight wave of the hand.

“Principal Leed, I just want to ask. How does the kindergarten want this matter to be settled?”

Sean looked at Principal Leed directly, effectively ignoring the couple. Atinge of rage flashed through Principal Leed’s eyes as she looked at Sean.

As the principal, the top management of this kindergarten, parents who wanted her to personally pay more attention to their child would usually treat her with utmost respect and courtesy.

However, Mr. Lowe threw a fit at her earlier today just because of this matter, and it made her extremely displeased.

Now that she had seen Sean’s attitude, all the suppressed resentment had finally exploded at that moment.

“How do we want it settled?!”

Principal Leed huffed indignantly, a stone-cold expression appeared on her face as she said, “Your kid fought with another kid at school and got their face really hurt.

“You’ll have to take full responsibility for this!

“We’ll have her demerits logged into official records and let her go with a warning. If she’s still unreformed, she will be expelled the next time this happens.”

Principal Leed had no intention to ask about what and how the entire thing happened. All she did was announce the decision made regarding the aftermath of it.

Sean frowned when he heard all that the principal had to say.

“Principal Leed, to me, since children don’t know any better, it’s pretty common for them to squabble and fight. Besides, their kid initiated it…” Leah clenched her hands into a fist as she tried to speak up. “Common? No fucking way!”

The mother of the boy let out a snort and said coldly, “Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? How dare the likes of you hit us?

“There are some people in the world that you cannot afford to anger or to lay your hands on.”

After the woman was done, she looked at Principal Leed and said, “I’m not happy with the way you handle things.”

Principal Leed was stunned momentarily before she plastered a smile on her face and tried to please the woman once more.

This was Mr. Lowe, someone she could not afford to anger!

“Mr. Lowe, do you think… This matter…” Principal Leed toadied with a polite smile on her face.

Candy’s mother shook her head and sighed faintly. So what if Candy had asked Sean to come along?

What difference does it make?

“I tell you, I don’t care about the medical fees. I don’t lack money. “However, the three of you have gotta stand in front of all the teachers and students of this kindergarten and sincerely apologize to my son.”
