Salute To The General

Chapter 1984



While Violet was still taken aback by Nathan, Penny walked over.

She crouched down in front of her daughter and placed her hands on the little girl's arms. In a comforting tone, she asked, "Queenie, could you tell us what happened earlier? Didn't Papa tell you how to stand up against bullies yesterday? You should be comparing grades instead of getting yourself into more trouble. Why did you hit your classmate?"

With teary eyes, Queenie explained, "Marc bullies me every day. He ridicules me for being poor and makes jokes about Papa being a security guard and Mama being a factory worker."

Nathan chided, "If that's the case, you should report it to your teachers instead of resorting to

fists!"

"I did what you told me to, Papa. I told him that the school is no place for comparing wealth as we should look at our grades instead. However, Marc said that grades could not change the fact that I'm poor. He also mocked Papa and said that, in no way, you'd be able to send me to a school like Tulip Elementary because of the high school fees. Thus, he pointed out that Mama must have a sugar daddy - that's where we get the money from. Hence, I was so angry that I hit him."

When Nathan and Penny heard her explanation, they were shocked and livid.

Marc had gone too far. Not only did he picked on Queenie, but he also mocked her parents, inciting her to hit him.

Furthermore, Nathan made sure to provide a holistic education for his daughter. Besides studies, she also meddled with music, art, and even basic self-defense classes.
