Natalie replied with her lips pursed, “That sounds like the best thing to do, but allow me to correct you, Ms. Syke. I
don't have a sister. My brother is the only sibling I have.”
“Oh! I'll definitely keep that in mind!”
After Natalie put the name card in her bag, she asserted, “It's getting late, Ms. Syke. I'll be heading off in advance.”
Jessie waved and bade farewell to Natalie, “Goodbye, Ms. Smith.”
Natalie made her way out of the private room after she responded with a simple nod.
As soon as Natalie departed, she placed her cup of tea aside and started caressing her knees with her face
scrunched up in irritation. Her wrath was written all over her vicious-looking face.
A few minutes later, she moved her hands away and returned to her usual calm and collected self, pretending as
though nothing had occurred.
Meanwhile, once Natalie departed, she made her way to the kindergarten instead of making a trip back to her
office.
She reached the kindergarten after an hour. Once she pulled over at the entrance, she alighted from the car and

Two minutes later, she heard someone yelling and cursing.
She turned around and looked in the direction of the commotion. Three buff-looking little boys had surrounded a
little boy who was around Connor's height and started beating him without holding back.
As they continued beating him up, they yelled at the scrawny little boy, “Beat him up! His sister is a murderer! That
makes him a potential murderer too! We can't let him off the hook! Hurry up and beat him up!”
Wrapping his arms around his head to defend himself, the little boy yelled, “Move away from me! I'm not a
murderer! My sister has never murdered anyone!”
Unfortunately, the three buff-looking little boys couldn't be bothered at all—they got increasingly brutal instead.
The rest of the parents that were nearby didn't bother to stop the fight as well. It was a horrifying and
heartbreaking scene.
Natalie's brows furrowed because she had always deemed children the future of the country. It was then she
noticed she had made a mistake.
Although most of the children were of kind nature, there were a selected few who were born delinquents.
I can't believe they're so brutal when they're still so young! This is so disappointing!
Unable to suppress her anger anymore, Natalie rushed over and yelled, “Stop it!”
At the end of the day, they were just children. Thus, they fled the scene the moment Natalie approached them with
a stern look.
She decided to let them off the hook and approached the beaten-up boy instead. “Hey, are you okay?”
The little boy inched away from Natalie in silence.
When Natalie found out the little boy had been bruised all over his body, her heart shattered into pieces.
He's around Connor's age! I can't believe he has to go through all this when he's supposed to have the best time of
his life as a carefree child!
“Can you get up on your own?” Natalie asked in a gentle tone.
Influenced by Natalie's kindness, the little boy answered in a mellifluous tone, “Y-Yes.”
“Alright, can you please bring yourself up?” Natalie got up ahead of the little boy and waited for him to bring himself
up.
She felt a strong urge to help him up, but she knew it would be better to leave him alone, hoping he would become

As soon as he brought himself up, he expressed his gratitude for the favor Natalie had done him. “Thank you so
much for chasing them away.”
“You're welcome.” Natalie handed over a pack of tissue to the little boy as he had been stained all over his body.
He took a step back and dared not accept the pack of tissue Natalie had handed him as he deemed himself filthy
when his pair of hands was covered in dust.
Conscious of his concerns, Natalie stuffed the tissue in his pocket and asserted, “Just take it and clean yourself,
okay?”
“Thank you so much.”
All of a sudden, two little ones sprinted over in Natalie's direction and yelled, “Mommy!”
“Why are you guys running again?” Natalie stretched her arms and held them firmly in between her arms.
Sharon wrapped her arms around her mother's thigh and announced, “We miss you!”
“I guess you're not my sweetheart for no reason, huh?” Natalie caressed her daughter's hair.
Sharon chuckled in return. Meanwhile, Connor stared at the little boy next to them and asked, “Mommy, what's he
doing here?”
