Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Try Laying a Finger on Him
The doorway carried a woman’s cold, haughty voice.
Elara turned around to see Melody walking in, chin high, looking imperious.
Elara: "..."
Please don’t tell her that the little chubby bully to Charlie was someone from the Collins Family?
Why does it have to be such a coincidence!
"Auntie! Boohoo, it’s them, it’s them who bullied me!"
The little chubby saw his savior arriving and quickly ran to her side, angrily pointing at Elara and Dominic Hawke.
The villain crying foul first!
Elara almost laughed in anger, staring straight at the little chubby, watching him guiltily dodge behind Melody.
The homeroom teacher hurriedly stepped forward, "It’s Miss Collins, right? It’s all just a misunderstanding, it’s really just a small spat among the kids, some people are making a fuss over nothing."
She had called a few parents, asking them to visit the school.
Since Elara came to complain, other children’s parents also needed to step in.
The homeroom teacher’s words made Elara’s face turn cold, she glanced at her without speaking.
Is she saying she’s making a fuss over nothing?
Didn’t she hear how the bear children spoke?
As a teacher, aren’t you supposed to educate them for such rude, uncultured speech?
"So it’s you? Charlotte, whose child is this? I only know that four years ago you couldn’t stand the loneliness and spent a night with a stranger, bore a child, and then couldn’t face anyone, so you disappeared. How come suddenly another child appears now? Who did you have this one with? Or are you being a stepmother to someone else’s child?"
Melody was upset because of what happened at noon.
Now seeing Elara bullying her nephew, she immediately sneered at her.
"Oh my, this woman is so shameless. Look at her seductive appearance, totally a professional mistress."
"Pshaw, I’ve always hated such women, should just throw rotten eggs at her!"
"Teacher Zhou said there was some misunderstanding among the children today, I think a kid born to such a woman deserves a spanking!"
"..."
The affluent mothers who entered one after another looked at Elara with disdain after hearing Melody’s words, filled with ridicule.
Melody looked at Elara proudly, her heart secretly pleased.
Who told her to shamelessly flirt with Evan Miles?
She’ll make her embarrassed!
Elara’s face changed multiple times, even though she had accepted the truth long ago, having it bluntly exposed like this still made her heart ache uncontrollably.
Just as she was about to speak, her hand loosened, and Dominic Hawke, who was holding her hand, suddenly rushed out.
"Bad people, you’re all bad people!"
Dominic’s eyes reddened as his small frame charged at Melody and the few parents, pushing them hard.
The few parents were unprepared and each let out a cry of surprise.
"Little brat, how uneducated!"
"It’s that woman’s son, right? Like mother, like son."
"Your mom doesn’t educate you, we’ll do it for her."
"..."
The parents cursed loudly, while Melody grabbed Dominic’s little arm, raising her hand to slap him.
"You dare try to hit him?"
Elara shouted loudly, quickly pulling Dominic into her arms to protect him.
Smack!
The slap landed on her back, Elara bit her lip without making a sound.
"Mommy."
Dominic’s eyes were red, seeing Elara getting hit, his little hands tightly gripped her clothes.
"It’s okay."
Elara patted his little head, smiling soothingly at him, not caring about the way he called her.
Then, she pulled the little guy behind her and slapped Melody back.
Melody exclaimed, clutching her face and looking at Elara in disbelief, "You, you dare hit me!"
"You dare lay a hand on a child, why wouldn’t I dare hit you?"
Elara spoke coldly, her gaze sweeping around, "As parents, you should set an example. Look at your behavior just now, even more ignorant than country bumpkins. I really wonder what kind of bizarre character your children will develop under your education."
Being scolded directly, all the affluent mothers looked displeased.
Elara continued, "Today Teacher Zhou called you here because your children bullied Dominic Hawke at school. All I want is for them to apologize. If your children make mistakes and you don’t correct them, it will inevitably lead to backlash in the future. Do you really want your children to grow up to be unrefined, uncultured, irresponsible playboys?"
Her words made several parents glare at her.
"Charlotte, who do you think you are? Dare to boss us around? Is the child’s last name Hawke? Don’t tell me, he’s Damon Hawke’s son?"
Melody clutched her slapped cheek, glaring at her hatefully.
Elara didn’t speak, as if she tacitly acknowledged it.
"The president of Hawke Group, Damon Hawke? His fiancée is that big star Victoria Don, isn’t she?"
"Isn’t she? Victoria Don didn’t care about the little fights between kids, but here she is, acting all serious, who does she think she is?"
"It’s obvious, isn’t it? She must have climbed onto Damon Hawke’s bed, that’s why she’s so arrogant!"
"This shameless woman dares to speak to me too!"
"Let’s go, what are we wasting time here for!"
"..."
The affluent mothers sneered, pulling their already stunned children, ready to leave.
Elara furrowed her brows tightly, watching them about to leave, clenched her fists.
Just then, a cold male voice came from the door.
"I want to see who dares to leave?"
At the sound, Damon Hawke’s tall figure appeared in the office.
Behind him was the school principal.
The man in a formal suit, with a strong presence that inexplicably eased Elara’s tension.
The real deal finally arrived!
Suddenly realizing, she seemed to have been hoping for him to come all along!
It seemed with his arrival, everything could be resolved.
"Principal Pan."
Seeing the school’s leadership arrive, the homeroom teacher was shocked, quickly stepping forward to welcome him.
The principal glanced at her, reprimanding, "What’s going on? I heard Mr. Hawke’s son was bullied at school?"
This was the school’s major benefactor, who would have the nerve to bully the benefactor’s son?
"This..."
Cold sweat broke out on the homeroom teacher’s face, "Actually, it’s just some roughhousing among a few kids, this lady is making a fuss over nothing."
She pointed at Elara, and the affluent mothers snapped back, all speaking at once, "Exactly! Principal Pan, minor squabbles between kids are normal, what’s she making a fuss about? Moreover, she’s not even the child’s biological mother, being all pretentious here, who’s she trying to attract attention from!"
"Isn’t that right? Miss Collins said this woman is a rather promiscuous person! Mr. Hawke, don’t let your child be led astray by her."
"..."
The affluent mothers spat their venom, with no restraint.
Elara pursed her lips, staying silent.
But her hands clenched into fists.
Next to her, Dominic Hawke was anxious, pulling Damon Hawke who walked to his side, "Dad, it was the chubby ones who bullied me, Auntie Charlotte came to reason with the teacher, they bullied Auntie Charlotte. She even wanted to hit me, later Auntie Charlotte shielded me."
