Chapter 14

In the office, there was this thirty–year–old woman, all decked out in designer gear, looking all posh and fancy. Next to her was a five–year–old boy, smugly looking up at another little boy cowering in the corner.

Across from this posh lady were the kindergarten principal and a teacher

“Thaddeus!” Cordelia spotted the boy in the corner and dashed over, her anxiety even pushing her to tears, “Oh my God! What happened to you? Why is your nose bleeding?” She quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe the blood off Thaddeus‘ nose.

Vivienne shifted her gaze to Thaddeus, her expression cold, a chill emanating from her. Did he get into a fight?

His nose is still bleeding. Can’t you see that? Couldn’t you have called a doctor to check him over? Couldn’t we have dealt with this after we arrived?”

Before the principal could respond, the posh lady interrupted angrily, “What kind of attitude is this? Your son hit my son, and instead of apologizing, you are blaming us? I’m telling you, if anything happens to my son, I won’t let you off.”
