Chapter 738 Sixth Sense
The kid instantly broke down. He pointed at Joseph and said, "It was Joseph! He told us to tell everyone that Ava's dad is a criminal and her mom is a homewrecker. He even said that whoever managed to hit Ava would get a hundred bucks, some chocolates and... his aunt would take us to an amusement park."
As soon as the kid finished speaking, everyone's gaze shifted to the arrogant woman on the ground.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Dylan approached her intimidatingly, asking, "Was I wrong to hit you? Huh?"
The woman clutched her arm and crawled backward. "T-those are all things they saw online! Don't listen to their nonsense."
The principal said, "Please refrain from making baseless claims, madam. You should set a good example for the children. The way your family is behaving will affect the image of our kindergarten. I'll arrange for your son's dismissal from the school as soon as possible."
Then, the principal looked at the other parents. "As for the rest of you, those whose children were involved in defaming, assaulting, and insulting Ava must withdraw from the kindergarten. They will also not be allowed to enroll in the schools associated with this institution. You need to publicly apologize to Ava and her parents as well."
"Why? The kids didn't understand anything. It was just a fight. Why should they leave the kindergarten?" The parents were finally grasping the gravity of the situation.
The principal replied sternly, "Why? Because of what you all said just now. Children are not innocent when their words come from their parents. They turned out this way because of you!"
The parents looked flustered but were reluctant to say anything. After all, everyone in Foswood knew that only children from well-off families attended this kindergarten. It was a top-notch school with excellent educational resources. If their children couldn't attend kindergarten here, they wouldn't have a chance to enter the elementary, middle, and high schools associated with it.
"I've been a kindergarten principal my entire life, and I can assure you that children this age absolutely cannot come up with the things you said they could. If you have any objections, you can submit an appeal. But it won't go well for you once the investigation results are out. I believe none of you want to tarnish your reputation further."
The parents exchanged glances and

toward the obnoxious woman. "Courtney Andrews! This is all because of you! You made us do these unethical things. And what's

w? You can get your son in the school here through your cousin's connections, but what about us? You're sabotaging our kids's future!" They berated the woman, getting angrier as they spoke.
"You're only bringing this up now, but weren't you eager to join in just a moment ago? Don't make me bear all the blame. You're all just as responsible for what happened." Courtney retorted.
One parent suddenly seemed to
realize something. They turned to me, putting on a flattering smile. "Ms. Chloe, since we're adults, we should forgive the children's mistakes. This is all a
misunderstanding anyway. Wo.net

you be lenient and help us put good word? We can't let this affect the children's future, right? They're still so young. We'll do anything as long as you don't make our kids leave the kindergarten. We'll
definitely apologize to you and your
daughter!"
I looked at them coldly. "Who was the one insulting me when I entered the room? My daughter's just been assaulted. Can a simple apology compensate for the harm done to her?" "Kids fight, don't they? Besides, our kids got beaten up too." The parents continued to argue.
But that statement only fueled my indignation. Before I could respond, Carol roared, "They beat your kids up? Seriously? Your children are all boys. Are you saying our two little girls beat them up?"
Carol's stern words earned my admiration. It seemed like she was about to tear apart the person who had said that.
"None of you deserve forgiveness.
You let your children become accomplices for some chocolates and a hundred bucks. Are you all really so desperate, or are you training juvenile delinquents?" remarked scornfully.
The parents, taken aback, were about to respond, but a chilling glance from Atlas silenced them.
Atlas stared at the woman, saying coldly, "Courtney, right? Liora's cousin and Mario's daughter? The Andrews' Diner. Terrence Fischer, Fischer's Frozen Food..."
"What... what are you trying to say?" Jeffrey's eyes widened. He had a bad feeling about this.
