Chapter 15

When the posh lady met Vivienne’s gaze, she instinctively took a step back. What a terrifying look it was. It was like staring into the eyes of death. “1” She was left speechless under Vivienne’s intense gaze.

The principal and teacher were also left stunned by Vivienne’s overwhelming aura

Dorian, watching the scene through the surveillance footage, roared in anger, This is too much! It was clear that Dino was the one who attacked my son unprovoked, yet you all are ganging up to frame him! He’s only five and scared speechless by you guys. Don’t you have any humanity?”

His outburst left the principal and the posh lady trembling. “Mr. Hawthorn, this is a misunderstanding the principal quickly apologized, trying to smooth things over with a forced smile. 1 didn’t properly investigate.

Being taken away by the police would tarnish their image and affect her family’s business. Her mother–in–law would surely blame her.

“Do you think money solves everything?” Dorian asked emotionlessly. “Can money make up for the wrongs my son suffered today? Who can compensate for the mental trauma he’s been through?”

“…I can explain.” the posh lady stammered. “Beatrice from your family made me do it. My husband has a contract to sign with your company. Beatrice wanted me to find a way to get Thaddeus expelled from the kindergarten, and I…
