Fabian still sent Lillian to kindergarten as usual. After returning to the company, he received news from Julie again. However, this time, Julie’s tone seemed anxious.
[Mr. Johnson, please come over quickly.
Lillian beat someone up.]
When he saw this message, Fabian left the conference room where the regular meeting was taking place without hesitation.
He called Julie, but no one answered.
Fabian’s heart was panicking, and his mind was occupied with the statement ‘Lillian beat someone up’.
How could Lily, such a docile and well- behaved child, hit someone? 1
Fabian did not want to believe it, but after he arrived at the school, Julie told him with certainty that Lillian had indeed beaten someone up. The one who was beaten into tears was a little boy.
The little boy stood beside his father and cried, “Daddy, she hit me, boo-hoo. It hurts. My hand hurts…”
The little boy stretched out his right hand while crying. There was indeed a large red spot on the back of his chubby hand.
Fabian looked at the boy’s hand and frowned slightly, but his eyes quickly fell back to Lillian.
“Lily.” Fabian squatted down and gently caressed Lillian’s cheek. “What’s wrong with you? Why did you hit your classmate, huh? I know that you’re an extremely good girl and you wouldn’t simply beat someone up. Did something happen and that’s why you hit him? If yes, just nod and tell me.”
Fabian’s attitude was very gentle and patient. Julie, who was watching on the side, was a little moved.
However, the little boy’s father was not happy. “Hey, what are you saying as a father? Are you saying your daughter beat my son up because he was the one who caused trouble first? Even if my son did something, your daughter’s the one who beat him up. The one who takes action first is the one in the wrong! Hurry up and ask your daughter to apologize to my son. Otherwise, I won’t let this rest.”
Fabian’s eyes turned dark. He slowly got up to face the overbearing man who looked like a parvenu.
“Mr. Johnson.” Julie quickly walked next to Fabian, she was worried that Fabian would start fighting with this man, so she stopped him. “Mr. Johnson, please calm down.”
Fabian lowered his eyes to look at Lillian, who looked miserable. Then, he lifted his cold eyes to look at the aggressive man.
“Firstly, I’m not her father, so I don’t know what fathers think. Secondly, it’s wrong to hit someone, but if your son was the one who provoked Lily and that caused her to strike first, I won’t let this matter rest either.”
Fabian’s sharp eyes and determined tone made the little boy’s father feel a hint of chill, but when he remembered that it was his son who was beaten up, confidence surged within him once more.
“You’re so strange, pretty boy. since you’re not the father of this little thing, what are you doing here? why are you so righteous now that the little thing has beaten my son up?”
The man rolled up his sleeves, looking arrogant and domineering.
“Say, Miss Charles, I spent so much money to send my son to school here, and is this how you take care of him? Now that my son was beaten by this little thing, you must expel her immediately, otherwise, I’ll even report you! ”
“What did you say? Who are you calling a little thing? Say it again if you have the galls.” Fabian’s heart was already ignited by this man, but at this moment, his gaze was like a cold arrow. The man was instantly flustered.
“Miss Charles, don’t worry. I won’t let you lose your job because of this. There should be surveillance cameras in the classroom, right? Get the surveillance footage right now. We’ll see exactly what happened.”
Of course, Julie did not think this man could threaten her job. However, Fabian’s way of defending her made her heart beat faster involuntarily.
“Yes, there are surveillance cameras. I’ll get the footage right away.” Julie immediately walked to the door.
Seeing this, the man looked a little impatient. “Why should we get the surveillance footage? The facts are in front of US. So many children here saw it with their own eyes. Children won’t lie.”
He said and pointed to the silent Lillian. “ What’s going on with your child? She’s not apologizing after she beat someone up. Do you think just because you’re a girl that we guys have to accommodate you? If you apologize to my son now, I won’t pursue this any further.”
He urged impatiently and began to mumble.
“Who gave birth to this strange thing? she hasn’t said a word in such a long time. It’s like she’s mute.”
The man’s last sentence obviously offended Fabian.
At this time, the man’s son suddenly replied loudly, “Dad, she is mute. She can’t speak!”
The man did not have the slightest empathy. Instead, he laughed out loud. “Oh, she’s actually a mute girl! ”
Fabian suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the man’s collar, his eyes piercing the man like an icepick.
The man shuddered with fright. Just as he was about to ask Fabian what he wanted to do, he received a heavy blow to his face.
“Ouch!” The man screamed in pain. When he was about to get out of Fabian’s grip, Fabian suddenly pulled the man in front of him. “Do you know what you’re talking about? You’re an adult, but you don’t have any sympathy and love. You’re here making fun of a child who can’t talk because of illness. Are you a man?”
? D
? ? ?
“I don’t think there’s any need to check the surveillance footage at all. with a parent like you, of course, your child would be a nightmare as well.”
“You—”
“Apologize to the kid right now! ”
Fabian ordered angrily.
Julie, who hurried back, heard Fabian’s angry voice when she was at the door.
She quickened her pace and ran in, only to see Fabian throw the man to the ground angrily.
The man lost his footing and fell to the ground. He tumbled backward.
“Daddy, Daddy!” The little boy hurriedly ran to his father.
Meanwhile, Fabian came to Lillian’s side, reached out, and caressed her cute little head to comfort her. ’
“Don’t be afraid, Lily. I’m here. I’ll never let anyone bully you.”
With Fabian by his side, Lillian would never be afraid.
Although she was still a very young girl, she had never been afraid of such villains even when they bullied her.
Even when she faced the she-devil Lana and was thrown into the pool, she never once begged Lana to spare her.
It could be said that she had completely inherited Niamh’s genes.
Even in the face of criticism and accusations, she was silent because she could not speak. Even so, her eyes were bright and confident.
Seeing this, Julie immediately went to mediate.
“Mr. Johnson, how could you—”
“Yes, I hit someone, but it’s because he deserves it.” Fabian’s expression never changed. His sharp eyes fell on Julie’s face as he asked, “Did you get the footage?”
“Yes, please go to the office to check,” Julie said and glanced at the man who got up from the ground. “Mr. Martinez, are you alright?”
“Am I alright? Do you think I’m alright? Both the child and the adult go around beating people up. Just you wait, I’ll make you pay the price!” The man threatened angrily. “Why should we even watch the surveillance footage? I don’t want to watch it. I want this mute to apologize to my son now, and you, pretty boy, I—”
“If you don’t want the other side of your face to swell as well, come watch the surveillance with me. If Lily was the one who bullied your son, I’ll let you do whatever you want to me. However, if the footage proves that your son was the one who provoked Lily, I’ll hit the other side of your face until it swells.”
After Fabian finished talking, he picked Lillian up and walked toward the door.
The man was mad but was cowering a little. However, he could not let himself lose his dignity in front of the children. Hence, he barged angrily behind Fabian to watch the footage in the office.
When they saw the surveillance footage, the man felt a scorching pain in the cheek where he was punched by Fabian.
The footage was very clear, but there was also sound. The screen clearly showed the scene of the little boy blocking Lillian’s way while annoying her.
He would touch Lillian’s coloring pencils and also pull Lillian’s hair. What was even worse was that he wanted to grab Lillian’s hand, but at this moment, Lillian, who was always docile, was enraged. Hence, she pushed the little boy’s hand away.
The little boy might not have expected Lillian to have such a big reaction, so he fell to the floor. His hand did not swell because Lillian hit him. He just accidentally knocked it on the edge of the table when he fell.
The incident’s details were made clear at once.
The coldness in Fabian’s eyes was even more intense now.
He tried his best to control the anger and evil tendencies in his heart. Then, he walked to the little boy who did not dare to speak anymore.
“Since you’re a child, I won’t do anything to you. However, if you’re smart, you should immediately say sorry to Lillian and promise that you won’t get close to her anymore.
Otherwise, I’ll make sure that your hand will get even more swollen and painful than it is right now.”
“You’re threatening my son, you pretty boy! You—”
“I never waste my breath threatening anyone. Listen up, I’m warning him.”
Fabian interrupted the man coolly. Right now, his terrifying gaze was telling the man that he was not just saying those words.
“Whoever bullies Lily will be going against me. I’ll make the life of anyone who goes against me a living hell.”
‘Um…’
Looking at Fabian’s sullen eyes, the man immediately admitted defeat.
