Xyla Quest peered at the silent adults around her and asked calmly, "Who hit my son?"

Meanwhile, her bodyguards had made their way to the office's entrance and stood neatly in a row. Their fully black attire was intimidating to the others, making them feel suffocated. The boy's father stammered. "I-it w-was me. I'm s-sorry, Ms. Quest. I was ignorant. I didn't know these two were your children. If I had known, I wouldn't have done it."

She ignored him. "Which hand did you hit him with?"

He took a deep breath. "M-my right h-hand."

Her frown deepened. "Got it. Someone will be here to claim your hand later."

He paled in fear at her words. Trembling like a leaf, he gazed at her pleadingly. "I'm sorry, Ms. Quest. I'm truly sorry."

Xyla scoffed. "If apologizing worked, then why do we need the police?"

He knew it was over for him.

He hastily went down on his knees as he peered at Xyla, Lynette Batton, and Leon Batton. "I'm truly sorry. Please forgive me!"

The twins merely glared at him in contempt before quickly looking away, unwilling to spare him another glance.

"Who's a teacher here?" their mother asked as her furious eyes swept over the rest of the group.

Two female teachers immediately approached her. "Me," they said simultaneously.

"The man's the one at fault. Why didn't you step in?"

The principal hurried over to hold her hand affectionately. "Here's what happened. We were still investigating earlier. It's not exactly like we didn't care." "Oh, is that so? That wasn't what I was told."

The principal started laughing nervously. "There must've been a misunderstanding."

Xyla smirked, knowing very well that she was making things up even without investigating further.

Meanwhile, the teachers attempted to appease her-

"Ms. Quest, we didn't intend to stand idly by. Really."

"Yes, it's true. You've misunderstood us."

"I can see for myself whether there's a misunderstanding or not. I sent my children here because I thought this school had the best standards, did you know that? It was supposed to be a decent place," Xyla stated incredulously.

"Looks like I was wrong. Your standards are even worse than those other kindergartens if you support bullying.

"I'll have someone come to sort through their withdrawal paperwork tomorrow.

"Meanwhile, you will all pay for what you did. My children won't get bullied for nothing."

Her anger was mounting the more she spoke, resisting the urge to beat all the teachers up right there and then.

She got the full story from what the nanny said. On top of that, she also witnessed everything herself when she arrived earlier.

The teachers chose to side with the more powerful party.

The children already had to experience these things at such tender age. She wasn't sure if they would be traumatized by these

childhood incidents for

Thinking about what her children encountered earlier made Xyla's heart break into pieces.

They had always been the most

important people in her life, so she would go to great lengths to protect them against whoever hurt or messed with them.

Lynette and Leon felt relieved when they saw how their mother reacted.

They gazed at her with awed expressions on their faces as Leon began explaining the ins and outs of the fight.

Meanwhile, Lynette repeatedly nodded and agreed with what Leon said.

Hearing their account of the entire incident made Xyla feel even more upset.
