Chapter 49
Ms. Patty looked at Kyle carefully, before nodding. “Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of him.”
“I apologize for the trouble, Ms. Patty.”
Kyle stared at Sofie’s retreating back, with anger on his face. What shorings did he have for this
woman to make up such awful usations on his first day? How annoying!
“Kyle, take your seat.”
In ss, Kyle listened attentively. The teacher’s lessons seemed pretty simple, and he caught up
rtively quickly.
Soon, he found sses to be rxing.

After ss, his ssmates eyed him carefully, and with curiosity. Evan had thetest pencil case and
even a brand new picture book.
“What is this?” someone asked.
“Be careful with that!” eximed Kyle. Carefully, he opened his pencil case and disyed it for his
curious ssmates.
“Wow, I’ve never seen a pencil case like this before.”
“Yeah, there are many special things that it can do. Look, it can change colors, and it can also sort out
stationeries!”
Just as his ssmates were mesmerized, a pair of hands reached over quickly and grabbed his pencil
case. “What silly thing is this, that you’re showing off?”
“Give it to me!” yelled Kyle. He immediately stood up and red at his ssmate.
The ssmate holding the pencil case nced at him and allowed it to fall to the ground, unconvinced.
“What good is this thing anyway? It’ll break as soon as it’s dropped!”
Kyle stared at him angrily as he reached his hand out, to strike the other boy.
“How dare you hit me? Everyone, help me beat him. If you all win, I’ll treat you to pizza!”
As he said this, a few ssmates decided to join in, on the brawl.
Kyle was still ill. He had only just recovered from the acupuncture and moxibustion. Thus, he was no
match for these students.
Nheless, in spite of his bruised and swollen nose, he tried his best to fight back. When that failed, he
began to bite them, like a crazed wolf-cub.
Ms. Patty caught wind of this and called all the students who had joined in, on the fight to the office.
“What happened?” she asked.
Kyle was not very good at exining himself.
Even though it was not his fault that the students had turned on him, and that they were motivated by
pizza, Kyle was the one who had bear the brunt of the scolding.
“My word, it’s no wonder your rtive had asked me to keep an eye on you! You truly are arrogant,
impolite, extreme, and strong-willed!” chided Ms. Patty.
“I am not!” retorted Kyle.
“Oh, look at this attitude that you have, towards your teacher. Do you still insist that you’re none of those
things? Go back to ss and stand for your lessons! Do this for three days!”
Kyle wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth and marched back to the ssroom.
After school, Sofie was surprised to see him look so awkward.
“My goodness, how did this happen?”
Kyle simply ignored her, refusing to respond.
How was she going to exin this to Evan? She decided to rify matters directly with the teacher.
Following the exchange with Ms. Patty, Sofie exined the situation to Evan.
“Evan, Kyle had apparently made a show of his pencil case, in front of all his ssmates. They were
curious, but he had beat up the ones who had wanted a closer look, getting injured in the process. The
others seemed to look worse, for wear.”
Hearing this, Evan narrowed his eyes. “Kyle, who said that you could show off?”
“I didn’t!” retorted Kyle vehemently.
“Who made the first move?” asked Evan.
Kyle was stunned. He was not lying! This only happened because his ssmate snatched his pencil
case and threw it on the floor, that’s why he threw the first punch!
Evan looked at Kyle who was silent, assuming that it meant that he had admitted to all his faults.
What a show-off, hitting people! How did he develop such a bad habit?
“Evan, don’t me him. It’s normal for kids to fight,” persuaded Sofie.
“Tomorrow, all of your belongings will be reced by ordinary ones!”
If he no longer had the capacity to show off, there would no longer be any more conflicts. Showing off at
such a young age was not a good sign.
With tears of grievance, Kyle nced angrily at Evan and stomped off to his bedroom.
Sofie looked at Kyle’s retreat, and her lips curled into a smirk. That should teach him a lesson!
At night, Juan sent Kyle a text, asking him if he went to kindergarten.
Kyle replied, Yes, at Grant.
Juan was envious upon seeing it. Wow, Mommy has enquired there before. It’s a very posh ce! How
lucky you are, Kyle!
Was this happiness? Kyle wondered. He frowned and responded with, It’s not a good ce!
He suddenly heard the door being pushed open. Before he could send the text, Kyle hurriedly hid his
smartwatch beneath the pillow.
