Chapter 298

Bryce fidgeted with his fingers, squinting slightly, the depth of his eyes concealing emotions difficult to decipher. Pulling out his smartphone, he shot a text to one of his subordinates: "Dig up the prenatal check-up reports of Whitney from three years ago. And keep an eye on Ludwik's mansion."

"Stand in the corner as punishment!" the teacher snapped at the slender boy, "Daniel, why did you hit your classmates like that?" Jemima, hefty and fuming, pointed at Sammy, "You unruly brat! My son's bleeding so much, you'll pay for this!"

"Jemima, calm down. I've already called Daniel's mom over," the teacher said.
