Chapter 97

Summer just got out of school all happy and bubbly, with a little backpack bouncing along as he dashed out of the gate.

That backpack was a gift from York, who said it was from Rhett. Summer treasured it big time.

As he waited in the pickup zone, Summer scanned the area, but there was no sight of Garner.

“Is Uncle Garner running late from work today?” Summer wondered.

“Little bastard.” Milo walked past Summer and shoved him deliberately.

Summer lost his balance and tumbled, and the backpack got scuffed up in the dirt.

Eyes brimming with tears, Summer glared at Milo and tackled him to the ground, fists raised like hammers, warning. “Milo, you’re asking for a beatdown, so back off!”

Milo got the scare of his life and burst into tears.

The teacher rushed over to break it up. And after seeing the Gladstone family heir down on the ground, she pushed Summer away in a frenzy. “Fighting again, huh?”

Summer was on the verge of tears. “He pushed me first!”

The teacher was playing favorites. “Summer, this is low. No class, no home training. Why do you always hit people at school?”

“Yeah, no manners at all.” Others interrupted, dissing Summer.

“Mom!” Milo spotted a luxury car by the road and started bawling for his mom.

Eve came to pick up her son, and seeing him in tears, she strode over quickly, demanding from the teacher, “What happened?”

“It’s Summer… He fought again. Kids from the slums have no manners,” the teacher said with a troubled look, pinning the blame on Summer.

Summer clenched their backpack and kept his head down, silent.

That lady was trouble. He didn’t want to bring any grief to his mom and uncle.

“You again, little bastard. You’re just a no–good brat without a dad. How dare you hit my son! Who do you think you are?” Eve was already fuming over her brother Vincent and her mom’s affair, climbing the social ladder, which made her lose face in their social circle.

She grabbed Summer’s collar and was about to slap him. “Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your lowlife mom.”
