Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 15: Bear the Consequences Yourself

The wealthy woman retreated two steps unconsciously, intimidated by the gaze she met. Those eyes were terrifying, reminiscent of the Grim Reaper from hell.

"I, I..." She was at a loss for words under Tina's intimidating stare.

The principal and the class teacher were also taken aback by Tina's presence, unable to respond for a long while.

Hugo, watching the scene through the monitor, roared in anger, "This is outrageous! It was your Mel who slapped my son for no reason, and you dare to gang up and frame him! He's only five years old and you've frightened him to the point where he's too scared to speak. Are you even human?"

The principal and the wealthy woman shuddered at his bellowing.

"Mr. Reed, it's a misunderstanding," the principal quickly said with an apologetic smile, "It was my oversight. I only saw Zackary with a knife and assumed he hit Mel without conducting a proper investigation. I apologize to you."

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?" Tina said calmly, turning her head slightly.

Jennie, already furious, snapped to her senses at Tina's words, and shouted, "Hugo, let's call the police! We must seek justice for our son today!"

Hugo immediately took out his phone to make the call.

The principal, in a panic, hurried to stop him, "Mr. Reed, please give us a chance, I assure you this will never happen again."

The wealthy woman also hastily said, "Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I blamed Zackary without getting the facts straight. I apologize, and I'm willing to compensate, how about $500, 000?"

Hugo looked at her coldly, without a word.

"One million? Or name your price, as long as I can afford it," pleaded the wealthy woman, now truly desperate.

They had status in Ensford and if the police were to take them away, it would affect her family's company. Her mother-in-law would never forgive her.

"Do you think money can buy everything?" Hugo said blankly, "Can money undo the humiliation my son suffered today? Who can heal the wounds of his soul?"

"I can explain," the wealthy woman hurriedly said, "It was your mother who told me to do this. My husband has a contract he wants to sign with your family's company, and your mother instructed me to find a way to get Zackary expelled... I..."
