Trubbed her head gently, feeling responsible for what happened. She looked up at me and said eamestly, "I won't hold onto you next time, Mommy. I'll protect you."

Jenny took the opportunity to say, "I didn't hold onto Aunt Chloe, Uncle Atlas. I bit that bad woman."

Atlas praised her and patted her head. You were fearless, Jenny. You know just how to protect your family. You two deserve a reward. The children of Pleca Park are all brave and strong.'

He taught the kids some basic fighting stances, which I did not expect from him. He also taught them a few less harmful but effective ways to defend themselves.

The little ones listened with admiration, their eyes gleaming with excitement. It seemed like they were ready to confront those kids again, and I couldn't help but worry.

After putting them to bed, I criticized Atlas, "You went too far. Teaching kids how to fight? Who does that?'

He pinched my nose and replied confidently. "It's a necessary lesson. After all, we can't be with them all the time. If they get into a situation like that again, they'll know how to handle it without hurting themselves."

I protested, "But they're girls. Why should they be fighting all the time?"

'They might be girls, but we should still teach them some self-defense. That way, they won't get beaten up so easily." He stuck to his beliefs.

After hearing his reasons, I couldn't help but admit that he had a point.

I didn't want to encourage this, but it looked like he was right. What if someone provoked the girls or caused trouble for them? The children would have to face those situations, and it couldn't end like this again, with their faces covered in bruises.

Altas led me back to the study and clicked on the surveillance video Dylan had given him.

It was the video footage of the kids fighting.

Sure enough, I saw that chubby boy provoking the girls. He threw the first punch at Ava. Jenny did not stand for it and bit his arm, which led to a full-blown brawl.

The two little ones were surrounded by the boys, who relentlessly punched and kicked them. The teacher finally rushed over to break them up sometime after. Throughout the entire ordeal, Ava never cried. Instead, she put on a brave face.

Jenny protected her throughout the beating, and I whispered in admiration, "That girl deserves a reward.

When the video ended, Atlas fell into thought.

After a while, he told me, "Looks like we can't just teach them girly things. They should learn some self-defense and fighting skills too."

I thought what he was saying was reasonable, considering what had just happened.

He turned off the computer and looked at me. "Come on, tell me what else happened today. Is everything going smoothly in Bourdarnun?"

When Atlas asked me that, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten something important. I slapped my thigh and said, "Oh no, I forgot something. I was supposed to meet with Adrian. What time is it now?"

I checked the time. It was past eight in the evening.

I quickly picked up the phone and called Adrian. He answered promptly. "Ms. Chloe, have you returned?

Yes, I'm back, but there was a little incident, which is why I only remembered to call you now. "I briefly told him about the situation and asked, "How's everything on your end? Should we meet up now?"

I tested the waters with Adrian and glanced at the time; it was late, after all.

He quickly responded, "Everything is in our records. His emotions are a little unstable. But it's getting late. Why don't you come to my law firm tomorrow? We can discuss this in more detail.'

"Alright." I agreed and hung up the phone, lost in thought.

After a moment, I looked at Atlas, who was still on the phone.
