Chapter 377 - 376

Chapter 376

James felt that he had already made quite a compromise, and “Keera” should have taken the hint and played along by now.

….

But to his surprise, “Keera” was still staring straight at him. “I reprimanded Bobby and took him outside because he tore up a classmate’s drawing and made outrageous comments in the classroom. Taking him aside to scold him a bit is my responsibility and duty as a teacher! Didn’t you send your child to school to be educated?”

She then looked at Christina. “When parents fail to teach their children, leaving them to act like bullies at school, then it falls on the teachers to properly discipline them!”

James’s face turned an ashen hue with anger.

He knew all too well what kind of kid Bobby was—naughty and lawless, but what could he do when Christina was the daughter of the Olsen family?

A child should be disciplined by their own family, not by others!

What was more…

James glared vehemently at Keira. “Is your idea of discipline to scare him, make him cry in the yard, and then have him go home to throw up at night? That’s corporal punishment!”

Upon hearing this, Keira scoffed. “I told you, his vomiting is due to his illness, a brain tumor, which has nothing to do with me. Don’t you understand plain English?”

“You!”

James was eager to lash out!

But there was a live broadcast, and he couldn’t really hit someone without regard for his image. If he got physical, then they would be the ones at fault!

James didn’t speak, but Christina did, “Miss Keera, my son is very healthy. He gets a check-up every six months, and we have a family doctor. I know better than you whether he’s sick or not, so don’t talk nonsense here. It sounds to me like you are just making excuses for yourself!”

Christina began to cry. “I know I have some personal grievances with you. How could you take it out on a child? Children are innocent!”

As she cried, the livestream channel immediately exploded with comments.

——So it’s because there’s a conflict between the child’s parents and the teacher!

——I really want to rush into the room and hit someone! Who cares about their own child more than a parent? This is way too much!

——This person isn’t fit to be a teacher. Didn’t someone just call her Director Keera? She must be a chairman. Which kindergarten is it? Let’s report her!

While a crowd of people were furiously hurling abuse in the live chat, sirens could be heard from outside.

Then two police officers walked in. “We’ve just received a report, claiming there was a child abuse incident occurring here. Is that true?”

The livestream channel was immediately filled with celebratory comments.

——Who’s the darling that called the police? Truly a hero for the people!

——Officer, it’s that director. She’s bullying someone’s child! Take her away quickly and teach her a harsh lesson!

——I can feel the hero has arrived! The messengers of justice are here…

——People who bully someone else’s child should die! They were born evil!

…

Keira looked at the policemen and was about to speak when James had already approached her.

The man was a full head taller than her and with a robust build. Standing beside her, his oppressive presence felt like a small mountain.

He said, “Miss Keira, I know you have a good relationship with my sister-in-law, and I don’t want to make things difficult for her. If you apologize now, and we all take a step back, I will let this matter go. How about it?”

Keira looked at the big, foolish man and suddenly felt that there must be a reason for his simple-mindedness, after all…

“Did God close the window to your intelligence?”

James was taken aback and didn’t immediately grasp what she was saying, so he stared at her blankly, “What?”

Keira cleared her throat. “You really are a martial practitioner with a simple mind and well-developed limbs!”

James was shocked. He understood that! His face turned the color of liver as he said, “You are so ungrateful, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”

After saying that, he looked toward the police. He was just about to speak but then hesitated for a moment and turned his head back to look at Keira again, wanting to give her another chance. He wouldn’t go easy on hitting someone. But when it really came down to calling the police, people of their standing would be cautious.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he didn’t see Keira looking guilty, which made James even angrier. In the moment of his hesitation, Christina had already spoken up. “Yes, Officer, it’s Keira. She abused my son yesterday!”

The officer took out a pen and notebook and asked, “How was he abused?”

Christina started crying, recounting the events and shifting all the blame onto Keira, and then she said, “She didn’t just bully my son, causing him to vomit when he got back home at night, but she also issued a notice of expulsion for my son. This is clearly the same as expelling us! I want to ask, do kindergartens have the right to expel children at will?”

After taking notes, the officer looked back at Keira with a much more serious expression, “Miss Keira, is what this lady said true?”

Keira was at a loss. She hadn’t expected such a simple matter to blow up like this!

She said, “Officer, the child vomited because he has a brain tumor. I issued the notice of expulsion to let him stay home to recuperate. After all, this illness cannot be cured any time soon…”

She didn’t tell them everything. The illness might never get better. Bobby might not live until next year…

As she said this, Christina screamed again. “Officer, did you hear that? She’s still here cursing my son!! She’s a lunatic. As the child’s mother, I cannot accept this insult. Officer, you must take her away. I want to hold her responsible for all of this!!”

The two officers, upon hearing this, looked straight at Keira, rebuking her. “Miss Keira, please be careful with your words! Do not verbally insult others!”

Keira said, “I didn’t curse him. What I said was true.”

The officer then looked up and down at Bobby. The boy was chubby and seemingly very healthy, just a bit pale in the face…

Christina then said, “Officer, my son vomited because he was bullied by her, that’s why he looks a bit sick today.”

The officer looked back at Keira. “Miss Keira, did you see his medical records? Otherwise, on what basis did you issue the notice of expulsion?”

Keira said, “I judged based on his behavior! He…”

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the officer. “What behavior? Are you a doctor? Can you arbitrarily diagnose a student’s condition? If you’re not, then you have no right to say that! Miss Keira, the mother of this student claims he’s not sick, and there’s no evidence to prove he is, so we now suspect you of child abuse. Please come with us!”
