Chapter 129


    Flora had just scrolled through several trending topics and had a rough idea of what was going


    on.


    She put away her phone and nced at Kaylee, who was visibly sweating from fear.


    Flora thought Kaylee was afraid of being scolded by her mother when she arrived. Such a good


    girl, always worried about troubling her parents.


    Flora spoke up to reassure her, “Don’t be afraid. You’re the victim in this situation; your mom


    won’t me you.”


    Kaylee bit her lip, not saying a word.


    About half an hourter, an elegantly dressed middle–aged woman slowly walked into the office.


    The woman was wearing a simple charcoal dress, her hair meticulously done up, without a hair out


    of ce.


    Her piercing gaze swept across the room, finallynding on Kaylee.


    The sound of high heels on the floor was somewhat jarring as the woman bypassed Kaylee’s


    shoulder and headed towards Mr. Trevor.


    “Good day, I’m Kaylee’s mother.”


    “Good day, Ms. Faith.”


    Mr. Trevor extended his hand, greeting her politely.


    Ms. Faith asked about Kaylee’s school life, and Mr. Trevor naturally chose the nicest things to say.


    “Kaylee is a very well–behaved student, always listens in ss, and is well–liked by the teachers.


    She has made significant progress recently, having ranked in the top fifty twice.”


    Ms. Faith’s expression was cold, as if being in the top fifty was still not enough for her.

    “I have dealt with this incident strictly. Those girls have been suspended. Kaylee’s situation is


    somewhat special, as she faces some risks at school, which is why we asked for a parent to pick


    her up.”


    “I support the school’s decision. It was originally Kaylee’s fault. If she hadn’t shown off, participating


    in some fashion contest, none of this would have happened.”


    What did she mean by it being Kaylee’s fault? Flora frowned upon hearing this.


    Had she not witnessed it herself, Flora would not have believed that the formidable woman before


    her could be Kaylee’s mother.


    “Ms. Faith, Kaylee is truly the victim in this situation. She’s already suffering enough. I don’t think


    what you’re saying is right.” Hearing Flora’s words, Faith turned to look at her.


    Having spent years in the business world, she had an inherent authority that made many young


    people instinctively fear her, like her daughter, who always acted timidly in her presence.


    The youngdy before her, however, seemed to possess a certain boldness, but…


    “Are you


    Flora?” Faith asked calmly.


    Flora nodded.


    “Kaylee often mentions you. Her improvement in such a short time isrgely thanks to you. I


    appreciate that, thanks you.”


    Faith paused before continuing, “But if there are simrpetitions in the future, where one has to


    be in the spotlight, I hope you won’t take Kaylee to participate. She’s too soft, too weak,cks


    conviction, and it’s not for her. It would only waste her time.”


    “Flora, I’m sorry about my mom.”


    Kaylee awkwardlyughed a couple of times, then stepped forward and whispered to Faith, “Mom,


    can we talk about this back at home? Let’s not continue here.”


    Her voice even carried a plea. Everyone present could see her embarrassment and difort.


    “Do you even know you’re embarrassing yourself?” Faith didn’t spare Kaylee any dignity, “When


    you followed others‘ advice, and participated in that worthless contest, didn’t you think about the


    embarrassment then?”


    “Mom!” Kaylee’s voice trembled as she clutched Faith’s handbag, shaking


    “Let’s just go home, okay? Let’s go….”


    Faith frowned, looked at her for a while, then stepped forward, leading the way out the door.
