Chapter 1455

The entire way home, Theodore didn't say a word to Jake. The father and son remained unusually silent until they arrived back at the house.

"Jake, how many times have you caused trouble at school now?"

Theodore's voice was extremely cold as he sat on the couch. His gaze was similarly icy.

"He insulted me first," Jake muttered, head lowered.

"And what about the previous times? How about when you were the one bullying others?" Theodore interrogated him.

He knew his son was no saint. It wasn't always others picking on Jake first-there were times when he was the instigator.

If someone else bullied Jake first, Theodore would protect his son without hesitation. But if Jake was the one provoking others, that was an entirely different matter.

Most of the time, Theodore sent his assistant to handle such issues. But as these incidents piled up, growing more frequent and severe, he realized that if he didn't step in personally, he had no idea what kind of person his son might grow into.

"But this time, he started it," Jake stubbornly insisted.

"I'm not talking about this time. I'm talking about the previous incidents when you put a fake snake in someone's bag, or when you threw someone's textbook into the drain. They didn't do anything to provoke you."

Every time something like this happened, Theodore would discipline Jake, but the boy never seemed to learn.

"They did provoke me! They insulted me!" Jake insisted still.
