NovelEnglishChapter 758 Not A Saint
Dorothy was making a fuss, pleading with her mother to take her back to kindergarten so she could study with
Jonathan..
Priscilla, casting aside any concern for her dignity, squatted down in Cecilia and Helen's presence, placing both
hands on her daughter's shoulders as she cried out, “I told you you've been expelled, so you can’t go to
kindergarten anymore. If you keep this up, I'm going to have to punish you!”
Dorothy was instantly reduced to tears out of fear.
Cecilia and Helen couldn’t stand the way Priscilla was treating Dorothy.
However, they all knew well that Dorothy's expulsion was entirely due to her mother.
She was buttering up both Cecilia and Miranda, but now neither of them wanted anything to do with her.
As Dorothy sobbed uncontrollably, Priscilla, to everyone’s shock, raised her hand and slapped her, making her
cry even harder. “Go on, cry,” she hissed. “Cry your heart out!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt seemed like she was putting on a show for Cecilia and Helen, who could barely stand watching any longer.
Helen stepped forward to stop her from hitting the child. “Priscilla, she’s too young to know any better. Calm
down.”
Having finally drawn their attention, Priscilla turned to the two women. “You have no idea,” she began. “Dorothy
was such a well-behaved child in kindergarten. | was shocked when she was expelled. All she ever wanted was
to see Jonathan, pesteringabout it every day at home. It was drivingcrazy.”
Through her sobs, Dorothy whimpered, “Jonathan is the best. I like Jonathan...”
Her tears were genuine, not a performance.
After watching quietly for a moment, Cecilia finally asked, “Why was Dorothy suddenly expelled from school?”
Priscilla sighed. “It’s all my fault for offending Miranda. Just one word from Miranda got her expelled.”
Miranda, upset that her son was bullied, knew she was no match for Cecilia. Hence, she could only vent her
frustration on someone else.
Helen was furious. “How could she do that?”
Everyone knew that Tudela International Preschool was one of the most prestigious in the city, notoriously
difficult to get into. The children who attended were invariably from affluent or noble families. For them,
preschool was about more than just education-it was also about forming connections with influential and
powerful people from an early age.
Additionally, at social gatherings, the mothers could help their husband networking and securing valuable
partnerships.
“It can’t be helped. My husband is simply useless,” said Priscilla pitifully.

Cecilia knew this was merely a ploy to gain her sympathy and help, but she wasn’t one to play the saint.
“Honestly, kindergarten education doesn’t have a huge impact on a child's future,” Cecilia said. “As a mother,
you might want to consider transferring her early, so she can adapt to a different environment sooner.”
Priscilla had always thought of Cecilia as soft-hearted, someone who was always ready to lend a hand to those in
need-like when she handled Helen's parking issue without hesitation.

help.
When Cecilia suggested transferring her child to a different school, Priscilla quickly pleaded, “Ms. Cecilia, could
you possibly help get Dorothy re-enrolled? | would be forever grateful.”
She then tugged at her daughter's arm. “Dorothy, thank Ms. Cecilia. With just one word from her. you'll be able
to see Jonathan.”
Dorothy was genuinely fond of Jonathan. Hearing that, she turned to look at Cecilia, her eyes sparkling. “Ms.
Cecilia, could you letsee Jonathan?”
Cecilia didn’t respond. Instead, she turned to Priscilla. “If | were to help your child return to school, what could
you offerin return?”
Priscilla hesitated.

Cecilia said with a no-nonsense demeanor, “I only help those who can help me.”
