“Why should I listen to you? I'm going to call the police if you don't transfer the money to me. I'll let the police officers arrest this little bastard." Mrs. Hudson was anxious.

Luca frowned and covered Tommy's ears.

"Madam, I'm recording our conversation. What you said is enough for me to look for a lawyer and file a complaint," warned Luca with a serious tone. Who could accept their child being called a little bastard when the child had done nothing wrong?

The look on Mrs. Hudson's face changed. However, she remembered that looking for a lawyer was something someone did just to threaten the other party. Oftentimes, they would just let the matter be. She replied boldly, "Go ahead and look for a lawyer, then. I'll call the police too."

"Fine. Go ahead. I believe in Tommy anyway. I'm sure he didn't do anything wrong." Luca had faith in him.

Tommy would not lie to her to evade responsibility.

Mrs. Tuffey could sense the tension in the air, and she immediately interrupted, "Mrs. Hudson, Ms. Luca, please calm down."

The school bell rang right after she said that.

Luca turned to look at Mrs. Tuffey and said, "Mrs. Tuffey, the class has ended. Please bring Ashley and the other classmates who witnessed the incident here. Let's see what really happened."

Mrs. Tuffey nodded. She had no choice but to ask the students to come here. Otherwise, this was never going to end.

"Mrs. Hudson, calm down. I'll go ask the kids to come in." Mrs. Tuffey hurried out of the office.

Mrs. Hudson sneered.

Luca let go of her hands that were covering Tommy's ears. Then, she said in a soft voice, "Come. Take a seat."

Tommy sat on the chair and stayed close to her.
