NovelOnline| felt utterly drained, just wanting to sleep.
| could not figure out how he could be so lively while showing no signs of exhaustion.
The next day, | felt like my body was falling apart, but | had to get up and go to the company on time. Especially with Ryan not around lately.
As soon as | reached the office, | received a call from the kindergarten principal. She expressed a desire to visit my home and check on the children. This was Atlas's idea. Before leaving, he instructed my mother to keep the children at home for a few days until the bruises on their faces healed.
So, the principal probably hadn't seen the children and was getting anxious.
I declined the principal's request because | didn't want more people to know about Pleca Park. | politely explained to him, "The girls were somewhat scared yesterday, and Id like them to take a break for a couple of days before resuming classes."
The principal became even more nervous. With a cautious tone, he said, "Considering the situation, we should visit the girls. It was our carelessness that caused them to be afraid. We..." "Sir, you don't need to worry about it. This isn't your fault at all.” My words sounded reasonable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough the incidents root cause was someone else's malicious intent, the kindergarten's handling of the situation was problematic. Even though they had done nothing wrong, their response was questionable.
The girls were attacked at the kindergarten, and | couldn't just let it slide.
I wasn't that easy to deal with So, | added, "It's just that your response to the situation was a bit slow.
I've already watched all the surveillance footage. If the teacher had intervened promptly, the children wouldn't have started fighting before being discovered
"lt seems a bit lax in management, and having two teachers unable to prevent the children from getting injured does raise some concerns.” | pointed out the kindergarten's responsibilities, as each person should bear them. Yesterday, Atlas had already asserted his dominance at the kindergarten. | couldn't be a pushover, or the principal wouldn't have called me.
I was not someone without principles. Even without Atlas, | would handle problems this way, not relying on his influence.
"Let's settle this matter like this.
There's no need to bring it up again. The two children can rest for a few days until the bruises on their faces heal before retuming to the kindergarten." | was firm and didn't want to get entangled in Syn & elige unnecessary apologies.
What use was there in endless apologies? It was only wasting everyone's time saying and listening to them.
The principal on the other end of the line seemed awkward. "Well, okay. We'll handle it. Please rest assured, Ms. Chloe. When the girls.
return, they won't be harmed again. guarantee this as the principal."
I sneered inwardly. This wasn't a guarantee to me, but a plea to Atlas.
After all, he feared Atlas's anger, which could jeopardize future investments.
"Thank you, sir. You've gone to great lengths." | maintained my
composure and politeness.
After ending the call, | shook my head in resignation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving dealt with today's urgent matters at the company, | made an appointment with Adrian and headed straight to his law firm.
Adrian briefed me on Matthew's condition, which | could already predict.
He did not handle setbacks well, especially not the massive blow he was facing now.
"He's been insisting on seeing you," Adrian casually mentioned, then shrugged. "But it's unlikely to happen before the court hearing." "Where's our breakthrough?" | asked without beating around the bush.
He shared a few points with me, and | nodded. Then | asked him, "If we gather all this evidence, what are our chances?" Adrian admitted, "Your bottom line is to ensure his freedom and clear his name. But the responsibility falls on Ardora's legal representative, Melanie." "Melanie is the legal representative of Ardora. It seems she won't be able to escape from this." | said it with a touch of irony. "Even if she exposes Matthew, she can't run away.”
