Let Me Stay The Night

For a moment, the room was silent save for the two children sobbing away.

Christina glanced at the little girl in the white tutu, and sure enough, one of her cheeks was red.

I may not know what happened exactly, but Camila’s hairpin has gone missing, and there’s no way I’d let that slide!

“Since no one can explain the matter to me, let’s check the surveillance footage!” Christina said sternly as she hugged Camila even tighter.

Upon hearing that, the wealthy woman, Lola, seemed to flinch. “Hmph. Go on, then. Do you think I’m scared of you? Don’t forget that your daughter hit my daughter. I won’t let that go so easily!”

Worried that things might get out of hand. Winnie hastily tried to mediate the situation. “Mrs. Hadley, there are no surveillance cameras in the dressing room. Besides, it’s just a tiny misunderstanding. Why don’t we have Camila apologize to her classmate and let that be the end of it?”

My goodness… These two women are no small fry, and I can’t afford to offend either of them! Hopefully, we can resolve this matter soon without blowing it up further.

“Tiny misunderstanding?” Christina scoffed. “Camila’s hairpin is encrusted with diamonds. That’s not. something an apology can fix. Furthermore, we’re still not sure who’s truly at fault here. Why should my daughter apologize?”

So what if Camila made the first move? That doesn’t necessarily mean she’s in the wrong! There has to be a reason behind it.

Left with no other choice, Winnie quickly approached Lola. “Mrs. Cohen, have you seen that diamond hairpin anywhere? If we still can’t find it, you might have to stay behind to aid the investigation.”

Lola, however, snorted at the teacher. “Diamond hairpin? What nonsense is that? Fine. Carry out the investigation, then. In any case, they aren’t leaving until they apologize to my Heather!”

Who in their right mind would give a diamond hairpin worth more than a hundred thousand to a child? Do they not know how easily children lose things? That’s no different from throwing their money away! Even as rich as we are, we wouldn’t buy a hairpin with real diamonds for Heather. I bet it’s just a slightly more expensive hairpin… Must they be 30 arrogant about it?

Stuck in a dilemma, Winnie had no choice but to call the police.

Meanwhile, Camila hugged Christina’s waist tightly, and it was clear that the little girl felt aggrieved.
