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?
John and Davin?
Kyle considered his choices. He honestly preferred John, but…
Kyle: Uncle Davin can help us in getting Daddy and Mommy back together.
Juan: How?
Kyle quickly shared his idea with Juan, which eventually drew a big thumbs up for him.
However, Kyle and Davin were practically nemeses. So Juan had to be the one to convince Davin.
After some discussion, the two boys agreed that it wasn’t time to switch back yet. They needed to wait until they accomplished their plan.
