Chapter 709: Simply a Walking Hormone
Delphine was explaining the reason behind Benjamin Leclair’s fight to the kindergarten teacher, but she had only gotten halfway through when the chubby little boy—missing his front tooth—dragged in a pair of middle-aged man and woman in their thirties. The couple was decked out in ostentatious clothing and glittering jewelry, looking more as if they were attending a soirée than dropping off their child at school.
Upon seeing the petite and adorable little girl, the chubby boy remembered her terrifying combat prowess and immediately felt the gap where his front tooth used to be. He wailed through his tears, "It was Benjamin Leclair who pushed me!"
Not only had she pushed him so hard he lost his front tooth, causing him to become the laughingstock of the whole class, but she had also called him fat. From the very first day Benjamin started school, this chubby little Walker boy had liked her—such a delicate, doll-like girl. But then she called him fat! Boo hoo hoo.
Ambrose Walker’s parents were wealthy merchants from Southeast Asia. The Walker family was always eager to climb the social ladder by associating with prominent families. They had paid a hefty sum to secure a spot for their son at Sunflower Kindergarten. When they learned that he’d been pushed so hard he lost a tooth, and that the perpetrator was a transfer student from no notable family background, the boy’s parents were furious. At the crack of dawn, they stormed in, full of righteous indignation, demanding justice.
"Teacher Fang, just look at our baby! His front tooth was knocked out. That girl is so wild, and this is just kindergarten—what will happen when she grows up?" Mrs. Walker tugged the chubby boy toward her, flaunting the massive diamond on her hand as she entered with an air of superiority. When she caught sight of Delphine, she was momentarily stunned by her beauty. But upon noticing that Delphine wasn’t wearing any diamonds, jewelry, or even a decent watch, Mrs. Walker’s disdain kicked into high gear. She arrogantly tilted her newly sharpened chin before pulling her son forward to demand justice from the teacher.
Seeing Mrs. Walker open with remarks about Benjamin’s wild demeanor, Delphine’s expression cooled noticeably. Her face turned frosty as she said, "Benjamin pushing Ambrose Walker was wrong. I will make sure she apologizes. The incident with Ambrose’s lost tooth was unintentional, and we will cover all medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress. But the fight didn’t erupt without a reason. Your child has been bullying Benjamin repeatedly—pulling her pigtails and often shoving her. Mrs. Walker, I also need an explanation from you on this matter."
"Medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress? Can you even afford that?" Mrs. Walker sneered, letting out a cold laugh. "My baby was raised pampered since birth and is destined to inherit our family’s wealth. Every little bump or scrape is a big deal. And now you’re expecting accountability from us? Dream on."
Mr. Walker had fallen behind. When he finally made it to the teacher’s office, he was momentarily stunned by Delphine’s graceful beauty and extraordinary presence. But then he felt a piercingly icy gaze on him. Turning his eyes, he saw an elegant, imposing man seated nearby. The man’s deep, phoenix-like eyes shot him a chilling look that made Mr. Walker break out in a cold sweat, his legs inexplicably trembling.
"Benjamin’s mom, Ambrose’s mom, let’s talk this out calmly now," Teacher Fang said with a sheepish smile, attempting to mediate.
"Expel them. If this doesn’t happen, I won’t let this matter rest," Mrs. Walker said, crossing her arms. The more she looked, the more displeased she grew. That vixen-like face of Delphine’s—no wonder her child wasn’t well-behaved either. They had actually dared to bully her family? Unbelievable.
"And what exactly does your ’not let this matter rest’ entail?" The man, who had remained silent since entering, quirked his lips into a faint smile and spoke deliberately, his voice low and sultry.
When the man stood up, his tall, commanding figure caused the females in the office to blush uncontrollably. Though dressed impeccably, the man exuded an irresistible, lethal allure from head to toe—a walking embodiment of unbridled temptation.
