Upon seeing Esther, who possessed an air of beauty, height, and leanness, Megan Immediately looked down upon her In Meganâs mind, Esther was an unfamiliar face in high society gatherings, suggesting she couldnât be an important figure Megan even perceived her as someone who was kept as a pet. canary by some men âSo youâre this bratâs â
Felix appeared as if he were about to charge at Megan, but Esther held him back âFelix, remember, donât argue with idiots. Youâll lose your grace.
Esther settled down on the genuine leather sofa with Felix cradled in her arms. She cast a cold gaze upon Megan and her son Before arriving, Esther had reviewed the surveillance footage She had clearly witnessed the entire sequence of events, where Meganâs chubby son bullied Felix Esther felt relieved that despite Felix not having attended school before, he wasnât the type to be bullied without standing up for himself. He fearlessly tought back âMiss, after reviewing the surveillance footage, it was this boy who took my sonâs pen. My son requested its return, but he refused and even pushed my son In a way, my sonâs actions can be seen as self defense.â
Megan couldnât help but sneer upon hearing Estherâs words âGirl, youâre talking nonsense. With our familyâs ten houses, five cars, and three companies, do you think your cheap pen could impress us?â
There was a wicked glimmer in Estherâs beautiful eyes as she responded casually, âThatâs no ordinary pen.â
âItâs just a pen. How expensive could it be?â Megan scoffed, displaying her bias. âIâl compensate you with ten of them. But you must apologize to my son! We wonât ask for medical fees. You wonât be able to afford them, given how shabby you look! Just get out of the kindergarten!â
Neither Esther nor Felix wore brand-new seasonal clothing or prominent brand logos. Both were adorned in custom-made, high-quality attire not publicly available from any brand. The pair of sports shoes on Felixâs feet alone was more expensive than everything Megan wore.
âMiss, I want this boy to apologize to my son.â Estherâs cold gaze landed on the chubby boyâs arrogant face as she spoke slowly, emphasizing each word. âTaking something without permission is considered stealing. As an educational institution, your prestigious kindergarten must address such thieving behavior.â
âWho are you accusing of stealing?â Meganâs face flushed with anger, and her chubby cheeks.
trembled. âOver a penâ¦â
Esther retrieved her phone and handed the teacher a photo of the pen, casually stating, âThis pen was a gift for Felix when he started school. Itâs a limited edition, one-of-a-kind, made of platinum and adorned with rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds. It features 840 diamonds totaling over 20 carats.â
Having never encountered such a pen before, Megan promptly denied its existence, exclaiming, âThatâs impossible! Donât try to deceive me with some street stall item!â
Esther reclaimed her phone from the teacher and placed it on the table before Megan. âThe purchase receipt and the valuation by collectors are all here.â
Esther didnât intend to be confrontational, but Felix was not the one at fault, and he didnât need to apologize.
If the other party displayed reasonableness and apologized after their child did so, Esther would also ask Felix to apologize. However, when faced with an unreasonable woman who referred to Felix as a little brat, Esther would protect her son until the end. No one could bully her child!
Megan casually glanced at the phone screen, and her eyes widened. Before she could say anything, the chubby boy in her arms interjected, âThat pen is mine!â
Megan stared at her son, Timothy Marsden, in astonishment.
Timothy appeared oblivious to his motherâs reaction and confidently declared, âI didnât steal the pen. He did! Heâs the real thief.â
Timothy pointed at Felix, behaving like a spoiled child who believed his parents would support him no matter what.
Esther finally understood how spoiled children came to be-it was a result of their parentsâ indulgence.
