Chapter 175 They Were Almost Kidnapped

Their excitement trailed off at the sight of Arissa’s stern look.

She scanned the kids from head to toe. Seeing that they were completely unscathed, she sighed inwardly, but she still kept a straight face.

“Now, tell me. Why did you skip school?”

Her fury made them jump out of their skin.

“Don’t you know that everyone’s worried about you?” Arissa snapped, seeing red.

Their disappearance kept the teachers and principal on pins and needles. When the school told her about it, she was almost scared to death.

“Mommy, I’m sorry…” Zachary apologized as he kept his head low.

He was sorry because they failed to inform Arissa before executing their plan. They wanted to tell her after they captured the perpetrators.

It was Gavin’s first time seeing Arissa swell with wrath. He was somewhat frightened.

He knew he had to take responsibility.

So, he came forward. He shielded Zachary and fessed up, “Mommy, I-I’m really sorry. It was my idea. I led them out of the school. I’m the one to blame. Please don’t be mad at Zachary.”

Realizing that her kids were afraid of her, Arissa did her best to contain her anger.
