Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 572

Half a month later, at Wilson’s residence, Jasper had been in preschool for almost 20 days. They had always performed better. Although they didn’t talk much, they

didn’t bully others or argue with others. in short, they were praised every time they picked them up.

The child who had been praised today was informed to fight. When Natalie received the call, she did not react for a moment. After a while, she asked Ella the

reason.

According to Ella, they fought because Jasper was protecting Ruby. According to the surveillance video, it was indeed Jasper who attacked first.

After hanging up, Natalie pinched her aching eyebrows. Since he was young, this child’s personality had been a little cold, but he had never hit anyone.

His emotions were relatively stable, and he was rarely furious. When angry, he thought for a while and quickly walked out. She had driven a motorcycle to work

today. If she went to school to pick up her child, driving would not be suitable.

She walked to the entrance and hailed a taxi to the preschool. She planned to find out more about the situation first.

In the teacher’s office, there were three children, four teachers, and two old people. Natalie was the last to arrive.

When she entered, everyone turned to look at her. A few teachers walked to Natalie’s side as if they had seen their savior. “Jasper’s mommy, you’re finally here.

Thank you for coming.”

Natalie smiled politely at Ella. She glanced at his son, who looked like nothing had happened, and stood calmly beside Ruby.

As she was about to speak to inquire about the specific details, the elderly couple across from her began to scold angrily. Pointing at Jasper, they exclaimed, “I

wonder how you educate your child at your age. It must be your son. Look at what you’ve turned my grandson into. His forehead is bruised. You started so

ruthlessly at such a young age. He won’t grow up to be a decent person.”

Since he was young, no one had ever belittled her son like this. Of course, Natalie felt uncomfortable hearing this. She frowned and looked at the well-dressed old

man in front of her. However, she was speechless. She pulled her son and Ruby to her side to prevent the old lady and man from doing anything extreme.

Based on the current situation, the other party could not be reasoned with. She directly chose to skip it. “Teacher, | want to know the exact situation. Can | see the

surveillance footage?”

The elderly couple across didn’t want to comply. They felt annoyed, as their grandson had been crying continuously. They were unwilling to give Natalie time to

check the surveillance footage and would rather see Jasper get a beating from her grandson to feel satisfied.

Ella began to mediate, “Gabriel’s grandma, this is the situation. Jasper’s mom also needs to understand what happened. The surveillance footage is not very long.

It was just 10 minutes. Could you please take a look?”
