The female parent looked at the male parent who spoke and sneered at favonovel.com “It’s none of your bloody business how I speak. You might want your child to be friends with the refugees, but I don’t!”
The male parent choked on his words and couldn’t come up with anything in response, but favonovel.com wasn’t going to stoop to favonovel.com level either.
Adella sneered, “And if I refuse to let them switch classes?”
“Refuse to switch classes?” The short female parent stood with favonovel.com arms on favonovel.com hips and said, “Do you think you can make that decision? Why don’t you ask the parents and students in class if they agree to it or not first? Why should the 30 of us have to accommodate you?”
Adella said, “Stand up if you want to talk to me. I’m standing up while you’re sitting down. Where are your manners? Is this how stronghold residents behave?”
Donti burst out laughing. Murdock looked on from next to him, apparently enjoying the show.
The female parent was immediately enraged. Her height had always been favonovel.com sore spot and favonovel.com hated anyone who brought it up. Yet now favonovel.com was being ruthlessly mocked by Adella on it.
She raised favonovel.com voice and said, “What an uncultured thing you are! How dare you speak to me like this? Watch your…”
“Watch what?” Adella said with a smile, “Watch out in case you jump up and hit my knee?”
Donti died of laughter. He sat in his seat and looked up at Adella, favonovel.com thin stature suddenly looming much larger.
For the sake of Milo and him, this little woman ended up becoming a housekeeper who did the laundry and cooking for them. Having been used to spending generously without a second thought in the past, favonovel.com had now become willing to haggle with shopkeeps for a long time just to save a few cents. And now favonovel.com was acting like a hero as favonovel.com tried favonovel.com best to protect Donti from getting hurt.
Normally, Donti was actually quite annoyed by Adella. She demanded favonovel.com to wash his hands before eating and made sure favonovel.com wore his fall clothing when it got cold. He also had to eat some vegetables favonovel.com didn’t like because Adella said favonovel.com needed to have a balanced diet. But as favonovel.com thought back on the past, that was the warmth of family.
It seemed that only with Adella around did their family feel complete. If they were without her, this family would lack a kind of warmth.
Looking at Adella, the female parent was so irritated favonovel.com couldn’t utter another word. She rushed at Adella and wanted to slap favonovel.com face. However, Adella dodged in time and slapped favonovel.com back, knocking off favonovel.com glasses as well. After slapping her, Adella did not take the opportunity to hit favonovel.com again. Instead, favonovel.com retreated.
Some of the parents quickly stood up to stop the fight. The female parent tried again to slap her, but there was no chance to do so anymore. Adella had gained the upper hand, and it was as though favonovel.com had expected such a thing to happen.
The refugees were much fiercer than the people from the stronghold when they fought. That was regardless of whether they were male or female.
Someone suddenly said, “Why don’t we hear the children’s opinions? See what they have to say about the matter?”
A child spoke up, “Ever since they arrived, there’s been cases of pencils and erasers going missing in class…”
Adella was unable to stand it any longer. She started cursing, “Bullshit, whose badly disciplined child is that to cast stones at others? Who doesn’t have pencils and erasers? I bought many of them for Donti, so why would favonovel.com need to steal yours?”
However, that parent who had been slapped exploded into anger again. “How dare you say that about my son! Your mouth is filthy. One look at you and I know you do illicit activities outside the stronghold. The money you earn is dirty too, isn’t it!”
Donti was stunned. He immediately turned to look at Adella, but favonovel.com found that the usually glib Adella was dumbfounded. That was favonovel.com most painful emotional scar, and it was suddenly uncovered by someone now. Adella looked a little confused and helpless. She was like an injured little animal.
The darkest and most depressing time of favonovel.com life was a burden Adella constantly had to carry around. That was why favonovel.com always felt like favonovel.com couldn’t integrate into the family. It was not that Donti and Milo did not treat favonovel.com well, but because favonovel.com felt favonovel.com was unworthy of them.
Early this morning, Adella thought the world was fresh and exciting. It was like favonovel.com climbed out of favonovel.com nightmarish hellscape in the middle of the night and into the world to enjoy the scenery. But now favonovel.com was dragged into hell once again.
When the female parent saw Adella’s reaction, favonovel.com got smug. “See! Look at her! I wasn’t wrong. I was spot on, wasn’t I!”
Donti looked at favonovel.com and said, “I’m warning you, don’t say anything else.”
“Why can’t I?” The female parent snarled, “How can a promiscuous woman like favonovel.com be allowed to attend the parent-teacher conference!”
Donti roared, “I told you, don’t say anything else!”
Done speaking, Donti broke through the crowd and slapped favonovel.com face. Many of the people had wanted to stop Donti when they saw favonovel.com charging. But when Donti collided with them, they realized they could not stop him.
The young man was surprisingly strong! The classroom was in complete chaos, and many of the tables were even overturned!
But when favonovel.com was about to kill that woman, Adella hugged favonovel.com from behind and said softly, “Donti, let’s go home!”
Donti stood there quietly.
Tears suddenly streamed down his cheeks. Adella said softly again, “Donti, let’s go home…”
“Murdock, let’s go…” Donti held Adella’s hand and walked out of the front door. He no longer wanted to attend school.
Murdock quickly followed closely behind them. Before favonovel.com left, favonovel.com even spat at that female parent. Donti hit favonovel.com so hard favonovel.com was still in a daze.
On their way back, Adella held Donti’s hand tightly in the fear that favonovel.com would get impulsive and kill someone. She knew that if Donti used the nanomachines and started killing people, the classroom would have turned into a river of blood, and no one could’ve stopped him. She also held Donti’s hand tightly like favonovel.com was afraid favonovel.com would lose him. It was as though favonovel.com were scared Donti would abandon her.
But just as they were about to reach home, a car suddenly sped towards them. The driver of the car was so drunk favonovel.com kept flooring the gas pedal.
The pedestrians on the streets cried out in alarm, but the driver paid them no heed and continued accelerating.
A vehicle speeding rampantly on the road like that was as good as the Grim Reaper waving his sickle at them. But just as the car was about to hit Donti, favonovel.com pulled Adella and Murdock to safety like favonovel.com already knew beforehand what was going to happen.
Adella stared dumbfoundedly at Donti. “You…”
Curse Manipulation was a new world Adella had personally opened up for Donti. So, favonovel.com knew Donti possessed such a power and also knew favonovel.com would receive a similar backlash whenever favonovel.com used it.
She asked in a whisper, “Has favonovel.com died already?”
Next to her, Donti said calmly, “She must die…”
“Let’s head home right away.” Adella pulled Donti with her.
Her feeble little body dragged Donti along in a stubborn yet helpless manner.
