Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 802

Nyla smiled. “Ms. Ferrier, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just think it’s important to hear both sides of the story.”

Laura didn’t respond, but her expression darkened, clearly displeased.

Nyla remained unfazed. She turned to Mason and said, “Buddy, don’t be scared. No matter what happened, Mommy will stand by you.

“If you didn’t do anything wrong, I won’t force you to apologize. But if you did, I’ll apologize with you. How does that sound?”

With Nyla’s soothing voice, Mason finally spoke up. “I didn’t do anything wrong! He stepped on my shoes first and called me a bastard. That’s why we fought. And I didn’t push him!”

As he spoke, his eyes began to well with tears.

Nyla gently patted his head and said softly, “Okay, Mommy will handle this.”

She stood up and addressed Laura, “Ms. Ferrier, you heard my son just now. If I’m not mistaken, there are cameras in their classroom.”

If they could check the footage, they would know exactly who was at fault.

Just as Laura was about to respond, a stern voice came from the door. “The school’s cameras have been broken for the past few days and aren’t fixed yet, so we can’t check the footage.”

Nyla turned to see a woman with black–framed glasses and impeccably styled hair entering. Dressed in a black suit and holding several documents, her serious expression suggested she held a significant position at the school.

As expected, Laura called out to her, “Vice Principal Neale, what brings you here?”

Yelena Neale didn’t answer but turned her sharp gaze toward Nyla. “Ms. Kinsey, I understand you’re protective of your child, but regardless of who is right or wrong, Wilhelm is seriously injured and may have permanent scarring. Out of decency, your son should apologize.”

The Wilkies invested millions in the kindergarten each year. It was clear to Yelena which parent was more important to the school.

Nyla frowned as she defended, “Ms. Neale, it’s unreasonable to force my son to apologize before we understand what happened. I believe my child wouldn’t hurt someone without cause.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Yelena’s expression darkened as she insisted, “Ms. Kinsey, you need to understand that

the school has its own diffidues. The Wilkies Contributions cannot be ignored, and we don’t want to escalate this Asking the child to apologize isn’t an unreasonable reques

“I can’t let my child be wronged, and the one who wants to escalate this is Ms. Wilkie.I’m here to resolve the issue,” Nyla stated firmly

“If you insist on causing trouble, I’ll have no clipice but to expel your son,” Yelena pressed

At those words, Nyla’s gaze fumed icy.

“Ms. Neale, are you trying to threaten me with expulsion?” she questioned.

“I’d prefer to avoid that, which is why I hope you’ll reconsider how to handle this,” Yelena replied.

Nyla nodded. “Okay, I understand your position. But even if it comes to expulsion, i won’t back down. Since the cameras are down, we can ask the other kids who were there. We can’t just assume my son is at fault because there’s no footage.”

Mason, who had been standing quietly beside her, grabbed her hand. “Mommy, 1 really didn’t push him! He lunged at me to hit me, and I dodged him! He then fell and hurt himself!”
