His big eyes grew bright with excitement at the thought. This will be fun!
“My Daddy isn’t a fool! You’re the fool!”
“You! You’re such a rude little brat! How dare you talk back to your teacher!”
“I… I didn’t do it on purpose! Please don’t ask my Daddy to come! If he does, he’ll smack me for sure!”
“Your dad has to come! He needs to come and apologize to the students you hit, as well as to their parents. Then he needs to pull you out of Grant Kindergarten. We are an elite kindergarten. Children from your social class don’t belong here. Shame on your parents for not even knowing that!”
Juan was tickled to hear the teacher say all this.
He wanted nothing more than for her to call Evan. He was excited to see how his father would react once he found out he had been called a fool.
As if right on cue, the teacher dug out the number listed for Kyle’s guardian and gave them a call.
When Evan received the call from the teacher, he was quite taken aback.
From the tone of her voice, he immediately guessed that Kyle had caused trouble at school. Worried, he instantly dropped everything and rushed over.
“Daddy!” cried Juan the moment he saw Evan. Tears were visibly pooling in his eyes.
Evan walked up to the little boy and frowned when he saw the bruises on his face.
“What happened?”
Evan was quite upset to see “Kyle” injured. After all, he was his beloved son.
Juan bit his lower lip and pouted. “They… They ganged up on me!”
Ganged up?
Evan’s face instantly fell as he turned to look at the teacher.
“You’re… Kyle’s father?”
The teacher, Ms. Patty, ran her eyes up and down Evan. She never would’ve imagined a troublemaker like Kyle would have such a smoking hot father.
Top-tier facial features.
Impeccably classy demeanor!
Goodness! He is literally a real life Prince Charming!
At that point, she was starting to mentally kick herself. If only she had known, she wouldn’t have been so rude to him over the phone. She would’ve made sure to be as feminine and gentle as possible and leave a good impression!
“I am. What’s going on here?” asked Evan coldly.
“Kyle injured a few of the other students, so we’d like you to take care of things.”
“A few? So what you’re saying is, it is true that a number of students ganged up on my son? That’s a full-on assault! So tell me, just how would you like me to take care of things?”
Evan’s tone was dripping with sarcasm.
Ms. Patty took a while to find her next words. “Kyle isn’t the one who is badly injured. The other kids were all beaten up by him, so I hope that you can go apologize to the other parents!”
Evan snorted.
“Well I’d like to know just why my son was attacked by them.”
“They…”
Juan immediately jumped in. “Daddy, it was because they were talking smack about my Mommy! Ms. Patty said that Mommy deserved it because she did a lot of bad things!”
Evan furrowed his brows. Frankly, he didn’t really care if a woman like Nicole was bad-mouthed. But he absolutely wasn’t going to allow the teacher to treat Kyle in such a manner!
“Is that so?”
Patty froze, not knowing how to answer him.
Then she heard Juan continue. “Ms. Patty also said that you are a complete fool, Daddy! She said that only children from elite families belong in Grant Kindergarten, so I don’t deserve to be here and that you should be ashamed of yourself for not knowing better!”
A complete fool?
Ashamed for not knowing better?
Ha!
Other than that damn Nicole, no other person has dared speak to me like this!
There was a sheet of ice across Evan’s eyes as he stared at Patty. He asked again nonchalantly, “Is that so?”
However, the calmer he was right then, the more dangerous he would undeniably become later.
By then, Patty had figured out that she couldn’t afford to worry about leaving a good impression on Evan anymore. It was more important to sort out the mess at hand. Besides, she fully believed that she had spoken nothing but facts.
“Yes! I can tell how uncivilized you are just from seeing how your child behaves! This place is out of your child’s league, so take him home! Oh, and you have to go apologize, or I won’t know how to explain things to the other parents.”
So, I’m not only a complete fool, but uncivilized as well?
Evan couldn’t help but snicker at the teacher’s obnoxious expression.
“Very well. Then you explain to me first just how my son ended up getting ganged up on, or…”
Evan narrowed his eyes and waited to see just what excuse Patty could muster up.
But Patty was still sneering at him, completely ignorant. A mere office worker dares to threaten me here! At a place that only allows for the rich and influential?
What an idiot!
“Or what?” she spat as she crossed her arms and glared at him.
“Or… you can scram. Because I’ll make sure you’ll be completely out of work.”
“Ha! Are you delusional? You don’t even know who I am! Do you think it’s that easy to get rid of me? Not unless Mr. Preston, the Head of Kindergarten says so!”
Evan frowned. He could instantly read between the lines.
So it looks like she’s got the Head of Kindergarten backing her.
“Very well!”
Evan whipped out his phone and dialed a number.
“There’s no one you can call. There’s no way Mr. Preston would fire me.”
Evan snorted with disdain but otherwise ignored her.
A little while later, a certain Mr. Preston came running in. And the first thing he did was to give Evan a deep, apologetic bow.
Then, he glared at Patty and mentally berated her for causing him so much trouble.
He was going to make sure she paid for her ignorance.
Patty widened her eyes in disbelief. Why is Mr. Preston, the freaking Head of the prestigious Grant Kindergarten, bowing to an average parent?
She took a closer look at Evan. That was when an image of the President of Seet Group flashed across her eyes, and somehow, the two faces looked eerily similar…
No!
No way! It can’t be! I’m… ruined!
Juan tilted his head up to look at Evan. “Daddy, Mommy wanted me to transfer schools before. A kindergarten who thinks you’re a complete fool must not be very good. So Mommy’s intuition was right!”
A glint of surprise flashed across Evan’s eyes. Looks like Nicole isn’t that worthless after all.
At least she was right about Sofie and about this…
“Don’t worry. Things like this won’t happen here ever again!”
After classes ended, Juan returned to Hillside Villa.
He immediately messaged Kyle about how Ms. Patty had been fired, and how the other kids had been punished.
When Kyle heard this, he felt thoroughly satisfied and ecstatic and praised Juan for his job well done.
Juan once again brought up the topic of getting their Daddy and Mommy back together.
Kyle gave it some thought before texting back: They should interact more. That way, they might get back together.
Juan found this to be a pretty good idea. Then he remembered something important: Oh! Daddy asked who you’d prefer to drive you to kindergarten – John or Uncle Davin?
