“If Morgan dares to mess with Arthur, our nursery won’t keep him around either,” the headmaster said decisively. “When Cindy and Morgan arrive, I’ll explain the situation to them and tell them to find another nursery.” Only then was Nelly Woods satisfied.
What she didn’t know was that Teacher Linda, who was standing outside the door, shuddered.
Cindy covered Morgan’s ears, not letting him hear.
She didn’t want these adults’ snobbish remarks and faces to pollute Morgan’s ears.
Having heard enough, Cindy knocked on the door.
The noise inside immediately stopped, followed by the voice of the headmaster, “Please come in.”
As Cindy led Morgan into the room, she saw Arthur and his mother sitting together, with the headmaster of the nursery sitting across from them.
This nursery was private but did not belong to this headmaster. To be precise, this headmaster was only hired by the owner of the nursery.
“Hello, Principal Lawson,” said Cindy.
Morgan chimed in, “Hello, Headmaster.”
“Morgan’s mom, you’re finally here,” said Nelly Woods, her tone unpleasant, and sarcastically added, “You’re such a busy person. I wanted to talk to you yesterday, but you weren’t here.”
“I took Morgan to the hospital for a check-up yesterday,” Cindy said. “He has quite a few injuries, so I took him home to rest after the hospital visit.”
“I initially planned to let Morgan rest at home today, and I had asked for leave for him. He’s not only injured but also traumatized, and he’s been terribly scared. If it weren’t for Nelly Woods insisting that we come here to sort things out, I wouldn’t have brought Morgan here.” Cindy’s tone was not demanding, and her voice was soft.
However, her words stabbed at their hearts, one by one.
Nelly Woods angrily said, “You’re really playing the victim here! Morgan got hurt? Look at what happened to my Arthur!”
Nelly Woods pushed Arthur forward.
Cindy noticed that there were indeed scratch marks on Arthur’s face.
Cindy looked at Morgan, and he pouted and explained, “I’m younger and weaker than him. When he was hitting me, the only thing I could do was scratch his face. I couldn’t reach anywhere else.”
“What a sharp-tongued little kid!” Nelly Woods snapped.
She was irritated that Morgan dared to imply that Arthur bullied him because he was older.
“However sharp your tongue may be, it’s useless!” Nelly Woods said arrogantly.
“Our family donates nearly ten million a year to the nursery to make sure that Arthur isn’t bullied and doesn’t feel inferior here.”
“Do you think your family can compete with my son? If you can’t afford to donate, just pay the tuition fees and hold your tongue! The nursery’s facilities, resources, and benefits that Morgan enjoys now are all thanks to our investments!”
“Morgan uses our things and hits my son. Who gave him the right to do so!” Nelly Woods exclaimed angrily.
Arthur puffed out his chest with pride in front of Morgan, looking at him as if he were a beggar who had taken advantage of their family.
Cindy immediately covered Morgan’s eyes, not wanting him to be hurt by such a gaze.
“We paid all the required fees to the nursery. It’s only right for the nursery to provide us with their services after we’ve paid. That’s just the way it is,” she said.
“Do you think the nursery belongs to you just because your family donates nearly ten million a year? Why not buy the nursery, then you can talk big in front of me. The nursery isn’t owned by your family. Don’t be so arrogant!”
Cindy said coldly..
