After finishing these words, the teacher pushed Amy forcefully.
The tiny figure stumbled and was about to fall.
Keira hurried forward a step and picked up Amy, gently patting her back to soothe her. âAmy, donât cry,donât
cryâ¦â
Amy clung to her neck. âMommy, Amy is obedient, Amy is good. Did Amy do something wrong? Amycan apologize; Amy wants to go to schoolâ¦â
The childâs words made Keiraâs heart ache.
She looked directly at the teacher. âI need you to explain this to me!â
Upon hearing this, the teacher glanced at the people around her and scoffed with a sneer. âExplainwhat? Sheâs been crying in school, disrupting the other childrenâs classes. I told her not to cometomorrow. Is
there a problem?â
Keira then asked, âWhy is the child crying?â
When Amy was mistreated by Howardâs mother, she
was too scared to cry, and she wasnât a crybaby in general, so how could she be crying all day today?The teacher sneered. âHow would I know? Thatâs your child, not mine! I think she might have someillness. If so, get her to a hospital! Donât hold back the school and others!â
Keira frowned at once, her eyes turning sharp.
Amy was only two years old and couldnât articulate what had happened⦠Just as she was puzzled, achildâs voice rang out. âThe teacher didnât let Amy eat. Thatâs why she cried.â
Following this voice, Keira saw a mother who had also come to pick up her child standing nearby.
A little boy stood by her side.
The boy was a year older than Amy and would be in kindergarten next year, so he spoke clearly andlogically. âThe teacher also scolded Amy, made her stand as punishment, and didnât let her take a nap!â
Upon hearing this, Keira immediately glared at the teacher.
The teacherâs eyes flickered, showing some guilt, but
d
she still said, âThatâs impossible! Brandon, donât talk
nonsense!â
The little boy named Brandon looked to his mother upon hearing this.
The elegant lady immediately said, âMy son never lies.â
Keira also looked at Amy. âIs that so?â
Amy nodded while crying. âAmy was hungry, but tried hard not to cry, also sleepy⦠not cryingâ¦â
The teacher then glared at her. âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Youâre telling lies at the drop of ahat! What a lowborn! Who can trust what these two- or three-year-olds say?!â
The elegant lady, upon hearing this, looked slightly displeased.
Keira frowned and said, âIn that case, letâs check the surveillance.â
The teacher was outrageously defiant. âYou arenât qualified to check the surveillance, and we donâtrandomly show our schoolâs surveillance to others, to prevent invading the privacy of other children!âKeira was shocked.
She scoffed and picked up her phone. âI might not have the right, but the police certainly do, right? Iâmcalling them right now!â
The teacher wasnât scared at all.
The police arrived quickly, and when they went to check the surveillance footage in the monitor room,they discovered that the camera in the classroom had
vanished!
With her arms crossed, the teacher was extremely arrogant. âI apologize, I forgot to remind you that thesurveillance was under maintenance today.â
Keira didnât know what to say.
No wonder the teacher was so arrogant. She had gone as far as to destroy the evidence.
Keira scoffed, about to say something when a small voice came from beside her. âOfficers, I can testifyfor
Amy!â
Brandon held up his hands and shouted loudly, âThe teacher is abusing Amy!â
As soon as these words came out, the teacher immediately frowned.
The police then turned to Mrs. Jones, the boyâs
mother. âMay I ask if the child can cooperate with our investigation?â
Mrs. Jones was about to speak when a voice came from the door. âMrs. Jones, I advise you not tomeddle in othersâ business!â
Everyone turned their heads and saw Christina walking in with a woman two or three years youngerthan herself.
Keira let out a sneer.
She had thought it odd why Amy suddenly became a target, and as it turned out, it was Christina whowas stirring up trouble!
Mrs. Jones, hearing this, turned to look at the two women, slightly frowning.
Christina had already walked up to her. âMrs. Jones, your son must be very busy, right? He doesnâthave time to cooperate with the investigation, does he?â
Mrs. Jones, seeing this and glancing at Keira, then looking at Amy she held in her arms, slowly said,âHeâs not that busy.â
Christina was surprised.
Her gaze sharpened instantly, and then she stepped forward, confronting Mrs. Jones. âTodayâs matterdoesnât concern you. Are you sure you want to wade into this mess?â
Mrs. Jonesâs gaze swept over Keira again, and then she smiled. âI just canât stand seeing a teacherabusing a child. I wouldnât feel secure with such a teacher educating my son.â
Christina immediately frowned. âIf thatâs the case, I can help your son transfer to another class.â
âAnd what about this teacher?â
Mrs. Jones didnât back down. âShe has abused a child and thatâs it? Miss Olsen, you have a son too. Ifyour son were mistreated, would you let it go so easily?â
Christina glared at her. âOf course not!â
âSoâ¦â
Mrs. Jones shrugged. âDo unto others as you would have them do unto you. I empathize with this littlegirlâs plight. My son is friends with her, and Iâll respect my sonâs choice.â
âYouâre doing this even at the risk of the Olsen familyâs reprisal?!â
Christina was frantic. âAre you really not afraid of offending us?!â
Mrs. Jones sighed. âMy family doesnât have much business with the Olsen familyâ¦â
âYou!â
Christina was so angry she was at a loss for words, but just then, the woman beside her steppedforward, smiling. âMrs. Jones, Iâve heard your husband has been looking to partner with the Hortonfamily that recently moved into Clance, right?â
As soon as these words came out, Keira and Lewis exchanged a glance.
When Mrs. Jones heard this, she indeed hesitated for moment. âThatâs correct.â
At that, Christina immediately laughed. âSo, having climbed up to the Horton family, youâre not afraid ofthe Olsen family anymore⦠but do you know that my sister is about to marry into the Horton family?!â
Mrs. Jones was slightly taken aback by these words.
Christina pointed to the woman beside her, âThis is my sister, Victoria. The Horton and Olsen familiesare preparing to join in matrimony. My sister is about to marry Lewis Horton, the family head. Itâs truethat you have no business cooperation with the Olsen family, but you still want the cooperation with theHorton family, right?!â
1.
Mrs. Jones frowned.
Christina said, âDo you believe that with just one word from my sister, the cooperation between yourfamily and the Horton family could be canceled?â
At these words, Keira, who was listening on the side, said coldly, âThat might be a bit difficult!â
