"Mr. Spencer, I'm terribly sorry to trouble you by asking you to cin person." In the office, the teacher nervously poured a cup of tea for Theodore.
Theodore sat with an icy expression, flanked by two stern-faced bodyguards. The intimidating presence of these men made the teacher break into a cold sweat.
Under normal circumstances, the school would never contact Theodore directly. Any issues were usually handled by his assistant. However, this time, the matter had escalated to a point where Theodore had no choice but to cin person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJake had beaten up a classmate so badly that the child lost several teeth and his entire face was swollen. The victim's parents were furious and refused to let the matter go.
However, the moment Theodore arrived at the school, the other child's parents fell silent. They hadn't expected Jake's father to be the Theodore Spencer.
Jake stood beside Theodore in silence, his head hanging low, looking weak and subdued.
His features were delicate and adorable. No one would have imagined that such an innocent-looking child could have beaten a classmate to this extent.
"Mr. Spencer, I must say, your son has beaten my child so badly that he had to be taken to the hospital by his father. His injuries are severe. Even if he is your son, that doesn't mean he can go around hitting people, does it?" The victim's parents were not ones to be trifled with. Under normal circumstances, they would have crushed the other party completely.
However, facing Theodore, they dared not act rashly. Their anger had to be contained within reason.
Theodore cast a cold glance at Jake. "Did you hit him?" Jake kept his head down.
"Tell me, why did you do it?" Theodore asked again.
"What does it matter why?" the boy's mother interjected impatiently. "I think you've spoiled him too much, and now he thinks he can do whatever he wants! My son is well-behaved-he never picks fights. But look at him now, bullied like this! He's still so young. What if he suffers lasting damage? This could affect him for the rest of his life!" Theodore's sharp gaze swept over the woman. "I'm asking my son, not you." The woman flinched and immediately shut her mouth.
Jake's face was full of defiance. Theodore pinched Jake's chin and lifted his head, forcing him to look at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheodore's brow furrowed instantly. His gaze turned back to the woman.
"So there is a reason," he said coldly. "There are plenty of people like your son-those who spew venomous words but never face the consequences." Jake had been wrong to resort to violence, but insulting his son in such a way had crossed Theodore's bottom line.
"Mr. Spencer, that's impossible! My son is well-mannered. We would never teach him to say such things! He couldn't have said that!" The woman vehemently denied it.
"So what you're saying is that my son has no manners, and I must have taught him those words myself?" Theodore's casual remark left the woman speechless. She felt suffocated under his presence. But for the sake of defending her son, she forced herself to press on.
"No matter what my son said, hitting people is never right." "If your son has a foul mouth, then it's his fault. A filthy mouth deserves a beating. If you don't educate him, someone else will-if not my son, then someone else in the future," Theodore retorted. Hearing his father stand up for him, Jake was overjoyed inside.
The other parents could tell that Theodore had no intention of taking responsibility for what had happened.
"Mr. Spencer, my son was beaten. You can't just walk away from this!" "I will take responsibility." Theodore's voice was calm. "I'll cover the medical expenses. But since your son insulted mine, how do you plan to compensate for the emotional damage?" He suddenly stood up and straightened his suit.
"Discuss it with my lawyer. I don't have tfor nonsense. If you can't educate your son, bring him to me—I'll do it myself." ve With that, Theodore turned to the teacher. "If there's nothing else, I'm taking my son home. School hours are over if you need anything, speak to my lawyer. I'd also like to understand how your schoob handles bullying-verbal harassment is ignored, but self-defense is punished?" Without waiting for a response, he grabbed Jake's hand and led the boy out of the office.
