After leaving the office, the secretary immediately phoned the home number to inform Mrs. Smith, only to learn that she was doing a beauty treatment. He then contacted her phone number once again, yet no one picked up his call.

After three consecutive phone calls, she finally picked up the call. "What's the matter?"

"Mrs. Smith, Miss Roslin has gotten herself into trouble at school and needs you to come over to handle the matter," said the secretary.

"Alright, got it," Lucinda replied.

Upon listening to her words, the beauty treatment asked her thoughtfully, "Mrs. Smith, do you need me to speed up the treatment?"

"No, just remain at your normal pace," Lucinda answered, placing her phone aside.

Noticing that she wasn't in a hurry, the beautician continued to massage her at a normal pace.

In the school office, the parents of Cecelia and the others rushed over to school immediately after being informed that their child had been beaten at school. Tina's mother was the first one to arrive. When she noticed the bruise on her daughter's arm, she darkened her expression immediately.

"Who is it? Who hit my child?" Mrs. Lee stared angrily at Lucas.

Tina pointed at Roslin and said, "It's her, she hit me."

Mrs. Lee rushed toward Roslin and raised her hand. Noticing that the situation was off, Lucas immediately stood in front of Roslin.

"Slap!"

A hard slap landed on Lucas's face. For a second, everyone widened their eyes, in surprise.

Mrs. Lee halted, then regained her composure instantly. "You are protecting her. As a teacher, you do not uphold justice and still protect such an uneducated student like her. Is this the education of Masafield School?"

When Lucas was about to explain the situation, he heard the girl, whom he was protecting speak out coldly from behind.

"How very educated of you, Mrs. Lee. You beat people as soon as you meet them. You are so educated that even I will think that the Lee family is running a rogue company that collects protection fees from others."

"Brat, you sure have a sharp tongue, don't you? Let me tell you, I will let you go about this matter. Tina has been pampered by me since young, and never did I beat her once. But, how dare you bully her? If you and your school don't give me a good explanation by today, I will not leave this matter as it is!"

"If the Lee family is rich, just hire a lawyer to sue me. You don't need to threaten me here."

Mrs. Lee pointed at her nose with a grim expression, "Who are your parents? Why haven't they arrived yet? I want to ask your parents how they educate their child?"

"15888..."

"What?" Mrs. Lee and others looked puzzled.

As if noticing their confusion, Roslin replied to her, "Aren't you going to ask my parents? This is my father's phone number. You can call and ask him directly."

"Mrs. Lee, please calm down. Let's wait for her parents to arrive and discuss this matter."

Soon, Cecilia and the others' parents arrived. However, not Roslin's.

"Where are her parents? Did you even contact them?"

Although David's father was angry when he saw his son injured, upon noticing Roslin's attire, he didn't yell like Tina's mother but asked her calmly, "Where are your parents?"

"This lady has contacted my father. He'll arrive soon."

Listening to her reply, David's father wasn't in a rush at all, the same goes for the others. Being notable people in society, they didn't need to do something that would destroy their images since someone had done it.

Mrs. Lee had already made several phone calls to John, but he didn't answer the call. When she was about to lose her mind, he finally picked the call up.

As soon as the call was answered, Mrs. Lee couldn't control her temper and yelled, "Your daughter hit my daughter! How are you going to handle this matter? I'll tell you, if you don't solve this matter properly, I won't let you go."

John, much to his surprise, who hadn't been yelled at for many years was momentarily dumbfounded by her roar. Then, he furrowed, "Madam, please calm down. My wife is already on her way to handle this matter."

"You're kidding me, damn't it! All of us have arrived, just yours left. Until when do you want us to wait? Even if you're busy, aren't we busy as well?" Mrs. Lee continued to scream angrily.

"Got it. I'll come over now." Without giving her a chance to reply, John hung up the phone and contacted the internal line. "Prepare me the car, we're heading to school now."

The parents who saw Mrs. Lee's rude conversation and crude demeanor instinctively kept themselves away from her. The Lee family wasn't even ranked in the H City. In fact, they were only considered as a parvenu.

They have long heard that Mrs. Lee came from a rural background and didn't even graduate from elementary school. Usually, it was Mr. Lee who attended the parents' meeting. He was polite and sociable, but never did they meet Mrs. Lee once. Now, they understood the reason behind it.

Being dignified people, even if they were angry, they won't shed all pretenses of cordiality and acted like uneducated people like Mrs. Lee, who was screaming all over.

Half an hour later, John hurriedly arrived. As soon as he entered the office, the parents who were waiting impatiently replaced their annoyed faces with fake smiles upon noticing John.

"Mr. Smith," David's father smiled and walked forward to greet him.

Other parents came forward and greeted him along enthusiastically.

Standing aside, Roslin watched the scene coldly. She had expected this to happen. How would there be zero bullying cases in Masafield School?

Bullying cases were pretty common here. As long as they didn't beat someone until retarded, with a strong background, they could remain free from those problems.

It just so happens that the Smith family has this power for her to act recklessly in the H City. In her previous life, she was "educated" too well by Lucinda and acted extremely cautiously, which led these people to bully her.

When Mrs. Lee saw that the parents who should be on the same side as her acted so enthusiastically toward John, she noticed that the latter must have a stronger background than theirs.

After greeting the parents one by one, John looked at Lucas. "Mr. Jones, I'm sorry to trouble you. I wonder what conflict has happened between my daughter and her classmates?"

Mrs. Lee interjected, "What conflict do you mean? Isn't it obvious that your daughter has beaten our children up? No matter what, you must settle this matter."

Only then did John start to screen through the students, noticing the small injuries on their bodies. He looked back at Roslin and ordered Roslin in a deep voice as if nothing serious happened. "Rosy, apologize to the students, now."

"You don't even ask me what did they do, but let me apologize to them casually? Even the judge would give the criminal to defend themselves before sentencing them."

"No matter what the reason is, you are wrong to hit someone." John darkened his expression when Roslin talked back to him.

Roslin snorted at his words and threw sarcastic glances toward him. "When I had no father or mother, I never let myself be wronged. How funny it is that I need to be wronged after having parents."
