Chapter 234

"Can just anyone get into this school?" The woman draped head-to-toe in designer brands demanded coldly of the administrator nearby.

The teacher tried to smooth things over awkwardly. "The child enrolled through standard procedures, ma'am. He passed the entrance exam."

"This kindergarten is the best school in all of Emerald City. An elite school. Do you understand what the word 'elite' means? This woman is an ex-convict masquerading as some wealthy heiress. Aside from seducing men, what else can she do? How does this school conduct its screening?"

"Just look at her - you can tell she seduces men." Other parents started joining in.

She had to admit, among all the parents, Nora was definitely the most eye-catching one.

Since she was attending Samuel's parent day today, Nora had made an effort to dress up nicely.

It wasn't an attempt to seduce anyone, but from the moment Nora entered the school, the male parents' hadn't been able to keep their eyes off her, stealing glances every now and then.

Nora wasn't the sultry, seductive type, Instead, she possessed an innate, cool elegance that made people can't help but want to look at her more.

Without a doubt, Michael's influence was visible. Whether it was the clothes he bought for Nora or the careful care during this time, the bruises and marks on Nora's body had completely disappeared. Except for the scars on her wrists covered by ribbons, her skin was flawless.

Her face was naturally cool and elegant, and during this time, being able to eat properly and sleep without fear, both her complexion and spirit were gradually becoming better than before.

Before leaving that morning, Michael had held Nora close, touching her all over, saying she still needed to eat more, that she was still too thin.

But Nora wasn't frail anymore.She was slender where she should be, and the rest of her proportions were perfect.

"What are you all standing around for? Throw her out! "Does a little bastard born from this kind of woman deserves to be in the same school as our children? This will lower your school's standards. If you don't throw her out, we'll all withdraw our children."


"Then go ahead and withdraw your child." After a long silence, Nora stood up and suddenly spoke.

Her eyes reddened from anger at these people, but thinking of what Michael had told her, a fierce courage flooded her veins.

Michael had said: "If someone wrongs you in the future, just curse back at them. You don't need to be so well-mannered. Good manners are for well-mannered people. Why talk about manners with people who have none? Don't worry about offending people - I've got your back."

The woman Nora had addressed was clearly stunned, looking at Nora in shock. "What did you just say to me?"

"I said, if you've got the guts, go ahead and withdraw your child!" Nora clenched her fists. "There aren't just parents here - your children are all here too. In front of the kids, is this how you parents set an example?"

"How dare you talk back to me! Who do you think you are to lecture us?" The other person mocked sarcastically. "From the moment you walked in, you've been seducing our men! And now you have the nerve?"

"Please prove that I seduced your man." Nora's gaze fell on the other woman's husband. "Sir, did I seduce you?"

Men care about face. He frowned at his wife. "Are you done yet?"

"You're defending her? And you say she didn't seduce you." The woman was furious.

"Sir, judging by your attire, you must be someone respectable in society. I didn't realize you were so henpecked. Your wife is slandering you—accusing you of infidelity over something that clearly didn't happen—in front of the entire school. I had no idea your status at home was so low." Nora sighed.

Michael had taught her well: When someone slanders you, desperately trying to prove your innocence only validates their attack. You turn the blade back on them.

The man's expression darkened noticeably, clearly unable to save face.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" The woman angrily cursed at Nora.

"You're not as pretty as my mom, so you say my mom seduced your husband. You just can't control your own husband. I saw it - your husband keeps sneaking looks at the woman next to you, and that woman is prettier than you." Milo pointed at the curvy woman beside her.

At such a young age, he already knew how to stir things up.

"Your husband didn't look around because you're prettier than her." Milo said sweetly.

The woman Milo complimented had been about to curse at Nora, but now she couldn't continue. "This child really knows how to talk."

"Only people who are wildly insecure worry about their husbands being seduced by others." Milo said like a little adult. "Madam, you're clearly not good enough for your husband. This gentleman looks so distinguished and successful. How on earth did he end up settling for you?"

Milo sighed as he spoke.

Samuel blinked at Milo, thinking he only knew how to eat.

"Sir, you should find a woman as beautiful and gentle as the lady next to you to be your wife." Samuel also spoke with childish innocence, completely serious.

"Right, right, Samuel's right. She's so ugly, and when she's mean, she's even uglier." Joseph was now a little follower - whatever Samuel said was right.

"Exactly. My husband would never look at other women - I'm confident about that." Women nearby were already starting to brag about themselves.

"Right, my husband doesn't look around either. His eyes are only on the children."

"My husband, when we go out, only has eyes for me."

The pack of women who had been tearing Nora down seconds ago were now frantically bragging about their own marriages and husbands, desperate to distance themselves from the embarrassment.

This way, only Nora's high school classmate became everyone's laughingstock.

Not only that, her husband was so embarrassed he couldn't save face, and with a dark expression, turned to leave.

"Where are you going? Today is parent day - you can't leave me and the child here." The woman was already frightened by her husband, panicking as she chased after him trying to explain. "That's not what I meant. I wasn't saying you were seduced. I just..."

"You really need to look in a mirror and see your current state and appearance! Where do you look like you're the same age as other kids' moms! You spend plenty of money every day - look at all that flab on you." The man coldly scolded her and walked away.

Nora laughed sarcastically. A man who publicly criticized his wife's appearance wasn't much better. They were truly birds of a feather.

She could tell from the start that this female classmate's husband who attacked her was extremely chauvinistic, because he only cared about himself. From the moment he sat down, he hadn't paid attention to the child, no matter how much the child called "daddy," he never looked up.

"Nora! You bitch, you and your little bastards are trying to ruin my family!" After her husband left without looking back and the child cried for a while, she finally reacted and came to make trouble for Nora.

Nora ignored her and sat aside with the three children.

"You bitch!" Humiliated and angry, she rushed forward to hit Nora.

But before she could touch Nora, school security forcibly pinned her to the ground. She had lost every shred of her dignity.

"This is a kindergarten, right? How are there mental patients here?" Nearby, Atticus stood coolly in the shade of a tree, dressed in streetwear and wearing sunglasses. "Is the campus environment in this country so unclean?"
