Chapter 332


    Although Stanley''s words were gentle, there was conviction in them. He stood tall in the sunlight, his


    whole body enveloped in brimming light, and his facial features were sharp and prominent.


    This stunned not only the crowd around, but also Sharon.


    In the past few years, she had been taking care of the children all by herself. No matter what


    happened, she would always try to resolve things quickly and not make a big deal out of it as she


    thought this would frighten the children.


    It was the same thest time when the children fought. She privately apologized and sent apology


    gifts to the other child’s parents, quietly dissolving this issue.


    It was just that every time she saw them, they would always ridicule her.


    Each time she was ridiculed, Sharon would only tolerate it since it was not physical abuse. She


    didn''t think that they would meet the couple since it was Stanley''s first timeing to the school


    with her and the children. Moreover, she certainly didn''t expect Stanley would take the initiative to


    stand up and protect her.


    She hadn''t felt this protected for a long time; the feeling that no matter what happened, someone


    would always stand in front to protect her and not let her get insulted.


    This felt really good.


    Sharon stood behind Stanley, staring at his broad back in a daze, and tears started welling up in her


    eyes.


    On the other hand, that couple obviously didn''t expect that Sharon, who had always been easy to


    manipte and bully, suddenly showed up with a smart and tough husband.


    It was obvious that the woman was used to being unreasonable. Although she was intimidated by


    Stanley''s imposing manner, she still couldn''t help but retaliated, "Oh, so your children are your


    treasure, and you think it isn''t the same for me? I know my son very well too. He wouldn''t have


    initiated a fight. It was definitely your child who started it!"


    "Shut up!" Sharon couldn''t tolerate it anymore. Pushing aside Stanley, she strode over and looked


    at the woman coldly, "I''m warning you! If you don''t like it, then you cane at me. If I hear you


    insult my child again, believe it or not, I''ll beat you up!"


    Obviously, the woman did not expect that Sharon would suddenly be so protective of her child and


    was slightly taken aback. Stepping a few steps back, she could only stare and point at Sharon but


    was too tongue-tied to say anything.


    Stanley walked up to stand beside Sharon. As he stood side by side with her, his deep and dark


    eyes shifted to the stupefied teacher not far away. In a deep voice, he said, "Since someone


    deliberately embarrassed my wife today, I am not a man if I don''t seek justice for her and my


    children. Miss Clifton, please show us the video of the incident that day, and ask all the adults on


    duty that day toe here. I''d like to see which child was the one stirring up trouble and bullying


    others!"


    It was actually quitemon for children to fight, and usually, it would not be a big issue. But this


    woman''s family, the Garners, were too unreasonable; their child was definitely the one who bullied


    Sadie first, which caused Seamus to fight back as he couldn’t bear his younger sister being bullied.


    The Garners were in the wrong, but they had the impression that Sharon, as a single mother, was


    easy to bully, and so they took advantage of the situation.


    To avoid trouble, the school tried to decelerate the situation by talking to Sharon, who looked more


    easygoing. The school authorities certainly did not expect the Garners to bring it up again.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    To prevent them from making a big fuss out of it, one of the teachers, Miss Clifton immediately


    came up to mediate. Moreover, she unconsciously stood on the side of Sharon''s family while


    speaking.


    "Mr. and Mrs. Garner, you know exactly what happened that day. Since Miss Cruz has let it go, how


    could you bring this issue up again?"


    "You..."


    Upon seeing how furious the Garners were, Miss Clifton immediately stopped what she was going


    to say. "The witness and material evidence of the incident are all here. If this issue dissipates, you


    will have no reason to exin yourselves. Mr. Garner, please don''t mention it in the future. Seamus


    and Sadie''s father has been on a business trip all this time, and it''s not like what you thought at all.


    You see, Miss Cruz has been enduring your usations during this period of time and chose not to


    argue with you."


    Then she turned to look at Stanley with a big smile and said, "Sir, let''s not make a fuss about this? If


    everyone takes a step back, it won''t be awkward for us to meet each other in the future. What do


    you think?"


    The Garners were so angry that they stomped on the ground and yelled that they wouldn''t just let


    this matter go. Stanley had been giving in all this time, but even he, who usually gave in to women,


    was so angered by Mrs. Garner that he sneered.


    Sharon''s heart skipped a beat. She knew that Stanley was now extremely angry and was afraid that


    he would do something horrible. She said to the teacher who had been persuading him, "We have


    something else to do. We''ll be leaving first."


    Then, she grabbed Stanley''s hand and left the school.


    It was obvious that Stanley was still enraged even after leaving the school. Sharon didn''t know why


    he was so angry. Mrs. Garner was just a bad-mouthed woman, and Sharon didn''t bother much


    about her, so why did he care so much?


    "Is this how you always allow them to bully you?" Stanley''s cold voice rang out as she was deep in


    thought.


    Sharon raised her head and nced at him. "Sometimes, some things will pass if you can endure


    for just a moment. It won''t be advantageous for you to get involved with that sort of person."


    With his mouth tightly pursed, Stanley stared at her. "Sharon, good people are easily bullied. If you


    continue to tolerate, these people will be more aggressive. They won''t think that you''re


    magnanimous and don''t want to cause trouble. They''ll only think that you''re easy to bully!"


    Sharon opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but the words seemed to be caught in her throat, and


    nothing came out.


    In the car, Stanley was driving silently while Sharon looked a little absent- minded. A momentter,


    she slowly opened her mouth and said, "You are right. Now that I think about this period of time...


    Each time I meet Mrs. Garner, she will definitely make fun of me. Perhaps I was too simple-minded


    and thought that she''ll leave me alone as long as I don''t find trouble with her."


    But she had forgotten about human nature; humans were like that, the more you didn''t fight back,


    the more the other party would cross the line.


    "I always took the children alone. I always wanted to protect them. I thought that only by causing


    less trouble could I protect them better. So when I encounter this kind of provocation, I


    subconsciously avoid it. I don''t want the children to get involved in these things. I am afraid that they


    will be implicated..."


    After Sharon finished muttering, Stanley''s hand that was holding onto the steering wheel shook


    violently. Everything she did was for the sake of the children. Even if she was bullied and wronged,


    she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.


    For the first time, he hated himself for going missing thest four years and even regretted not


    taking the initiative to recall those memories back then. If he had done so, he would have found out


    earlier that he had a wife and even children, and he would have protected them so as not to let


    them suffer those grievances.
