Shane was not the least surprised at that answer as he had already guessed it.
Just then, Silas arrived together with the teacher.
Silas had already briefed the teacher on what happened on the way there. As such, once the teacher saw Shane,
she immediately bowed and apologized, “Mr. Shane, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that these kids would... “
“Enough.” Shane, who was holding Sharon's hand, cut the teacher off and continued, “I don't want to listen to all
these. I want you to contact the parents of these kids at once. Their parents should be responsible for their kids'
misbehavior. I'm not going to punish the kids as their parents are the ones to be blamed.”
“OK, sure,” the teacher had no choice but to agree at once as he knew that the man was deeply offended and
furious by what happened. There was no way he would let the matter slide if he didn't meet the kids' parents. As
such, she contacted those parents right away.
Shortly after, the parents arrived. They rushed to the school as soon as possible after knowing that the CEO of
Thompson Group wanted to meet them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon arrival, when those parents were informed that their children had bullied the daughter of the CEO of
Thompson Group after being incited by a random bit*ch, they were so mad that they started spanking their kids.
When Sharon saw her bullies being punished by their parents and were crying, she finally smiled.
Shane's anger was appeased after seeing the smile on the little girl's face. As such, he did not make things difficult
for those parents and accepted their apologies. His only condition was for their kids to transfer schools.
With that, Sharon's bullying incident came to a conclusion.
After that, Shane walked out of the kindergarten with Sharon, holding her hand.
When they got into the car, he looked at Silas, who was at the driver's seat and said in a low voice, “Check if
Harrison was involved in this!”
Shane had that suspicion as Sharon's bullying incident happened on the same day that Natalie was being attacked
online.
It could be that Harrison was using a two-pronged approach to force Natalie to relent.
“Understood,” Silas replied while starting the car engine at the same time.
Sharon had a glum face and kept her head lowered on the way back to the apartment, without speaking a single
word.
When Shane tried to strike a conversation with her, she merely responded by shaking or nodding her head.
The man knew that Sharon was deeply hurt by the bullies' words earlier on.
In the first place, children were more fragile than adults and would be more sensitive to what others said about
them, often believing everything they heard. Not to mention being exposed to such vicious comments, which would
naturally affect the little girl deeply.
As such, silence ensued in the car all the way back to the apartment.
Holding Sharon's hand, Shane pressed the doorbell.
Looking at the time, Natalie guessed that it must be Shane sending the girl back. Feeling happy, she put down the
television remote control and went to open the door together with Connor.
Once the door opened, Sharon let go of Shane's hand immediately and dashed towards Natalie. Hugging her
mother's thighs, she asked while sobbing, “Mommy, why is it that everyone else has a dad but not Connor and I?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Natalie heard her daughter's words, the smile on her face froze at once.
Connor's face fell as well, as he downcast his eyes.
Natalie looked at her daughter, who was still crying uncontrollably, before looking at Shane, who was still standing
outside the door with a complicated expression on his face. Feeling her throat close up with emotions, she asked,
“Mr. Shane, did anything happen to Sharon?”
Shane nodded briefly and narrated everything that happened at the kindergarten earlier on.
Natalie was already trembling in fury when the man finished speaking.
She squatted down and held Sharon and Connor tightly in her arms. With her heart aching and feeling bad for her
daughter, she said, “Darling, don't take those words to heart. You are not basta*ds, you have a dad too.”
“Where's our dad then? Why did he abandon us!” Sharon looked up at Natalie and asked with her face covered in
tears.
Shane looked towards Natalie as well, waiting to hear her answer.
Even Connor had fixed his gaze on her.
Even though their mommy had said before that their dad would have his own family in the future and the boy had
also promised his mommy that he would never reunite with his dad, he had always wanted to know who his dad
was as well as his whereabouts.
