You Hit My Heart
Chapter 1773: What Is Your Purpose?
The first day at kindergarten.
Westbrook returned to the Saunders family, crying loudly as if the sky
was falling, almost lifting the roof off.
Fox remained in the hospital, with both arms fixed and immobilized.
Eating, sleeping, and daily activities all required assistance. She
couldn't return to the Saunders family at all.
Vicki had been ruthless. It would take at least ten days or half a month
for Fox to get rid of the arm immobilizer, and complete recovery would
take at least a hundred days.
This was actually the effect Vicki wanted. Recently, she needed to
assist Joyce in rescuing Alisha and didn't have time to keep an eye on
Fox. So she sent Fox to the hospital for a while to calm down. It also
freed up her hands to do more important things.
Mr. Reese was at home today and felt sorry for Westbrook when he
saw him crying and running home.
He embraced his youngest son and patted him while comforting him,
"What happened? Tell me who bullied you, and I'll go beat him up."
Westbrook kept crying and throwing a tantrum.
"Anderson, it's Anderson who bullied me! Sob... Look at my forehead,
it's all bruised, and there's so much blood!" Westbrook pointed at his
forehead, full of grievances.
Mr. Reese glared at Carlo disapprovingly. âYou were the one who
picked up Westbrook today, what happened exactly? Who is this
Anderson? How dare he bully Westbrook? Is he tired of living?"
Carlo hurriedly explained, "Sir, there is no evidence to prove that
Anderson injured Young Master. Although it seems like Young Master
was hit by a slingshot on the forehead, we searched the classroom and
couldn't find any slingshots or marbles. Teacher Zhang asked every
child, but no one saw what hit Young Master. The children at Dewey
Noble Kindergarten are mostly from wealthy families, and without
evidence, we can't confront the other party.â
"No, it's definitely Anderson! It's him, it must be him!" Westbrook kicked
his legs without restraint. "I don't care, Dad, you go teach him a lesson!
I want him out of the kindergarten!"
Mr. Reese's expression turned serious, and he asked in a cold voice,
"Who is this Anderson?"
Carlo whispered to Mr. Reese, "He's Luther, the son of military
commander Joyce. Sir, we can't afford to provoke him. Besides, Mr.
Warner is friends with Felix. We have to give Mr. Felix some face.â
At home, Carlo often called Felix "Mr. Saunders,â emphasizing his
legitimate status. But in front of Mr. Reese, Carlo referred to Felix as
"Mr. Felix" because there was an illegitimate older brother above him.
Mr. Reese frowned, "Such a big background?"
Carlo nodded, "Yes, sir. I've checked the surveillance footage. There's
really no one seen using a slingshot. Young Master's forehead was
indeed hit by something, but luckily the injury isn't severe. In the
surveillance, Anderson was busy writing programs on his mini computer
the whole time. They say he's a computer genius and didn't even look
up. We can't forcefully blame him without evidence."
Mr. Reese carefully examined the wound on Westbrook's forehead. It
was a round mark, clearly caused by an external object. It couldn't have
been caused by himself. They couldn't find anyone using a slingshot on
the surveillance footage. It meant that the other party didn't use a
slingshot at all. They used some method unknown to them, but it was
definitely not something ordinary. The speed at which they acted
exceeded the frame rate captured by the surveillance. They were truly
impressive!
This child named Anderson had such talent at such a young age.
Looking at Westbrook, who could only cry and shout, Mr. Reese
suddenly felt envious. Why were other people's children so successful?
Feeling restless, he sharply scolded Westbrook, "Stop crying! You're
useless! If you have the ability, next time catch evidence when
someone bullies you. Take revenge yourself."
Westbrook had never been scolded by Mr. Reese before, and he was
stunned. He stopped crying, sniffled, and stared blankly at Mr. Reese.
"If someone can teach you a lesson without leaving any traces, it
means they have ability. You can't beat them. You might as well not go
to kindergarten and embarrass yourself,â Mr. Reese scolded angrily.
âNo, I want to go, I want to go!" Westbrook panicked at the thought of
not going to kindergarten. Kiki was so pretty, and he wanted to go to
school for her.
"Then don't provoke Anderson, do you hear me?!" Mr. Reese glared at
him, âEither you're stronger than him, or you behave yourself and stay
out of trouble. Understand?! Also, spend some time learningmore
knowledge. Look at others, they can already program computers. What
about you? Besides eating, sleeping, and causing trouble, what can
you do?!"
Westbrook was stunned by the scolding and dared not say a word,
forgetting even to cry.
Mr. Reese turned to Carlo and gave a stern order, "Arrange private
tutoring sessions for him and fill his days with studying. No playing
outside. If he dares to disrespect his teachers, you tell me, and I'll
personally break his legs!"
"Yes," Carlo lowered his head and accepted the command. As he
turned around, he smirked. Sending young master to Dewey Noble
Kindergarten was truly the right move. After this comparison, Mr. Reese
was dissatisfied with Westbrook's current situation. Disciplining him
would bring peace to the household.
Mr. Reese, feeling frustrated, glared at Westbrook, "Go upstairs and
study.â
Westbrook was so frightened that he almost fell off the sofa. He
crawled and scrambled up the stairs, forgetting even to cry. Even his
usually doting father had turned against him, and his mother was in the
hospital. He had to restrain himself.
Shortly after, Vicki and Felix returned home.
Today, they had both been busy outside, coordinating manpower and
organizing their actions.
As soon as they entered the house, Vicki noticed Mr. Reese sitting on
the sofa, an unusual tranquility filling the house.
Mr. Reese seemed to be waiting for her, his gaze fixed on her. It
seemed like he had something to say.
Vicki boldly approached him, walking up to Mr. Reese's side. She
stopped and went straight to the point, âDo you need something from
me?"
Felix followed Vicki closely, gently pulling her to his side, as if protecting
her. Although his father had aged, his authority still remained. If he
really intended to harm Vicki, Felix would definitely intervene.
Mr. Reese coldly surveyed Vicki for several minutes before finally
speaking, "Vicki, what is your purpose in entering the Saunders
family?"
Felix was taken aback, instinctively pulling Vicki even closer.
Oh no, does the old man know about Vicki's past connection to the
Saunders family? Does he suspect that Vicki married him for a reason?
Reese's sharp gaze pierced into Vicki's eyes. She had injured Fox and
sent Westbrook to the kindergarten where Anderson was. This woman
couldn't possibly have no ulterior motives.
His eyes narrowed, and he sternly questioned, "Do you want to destroy
the Saunders family?!"
