Chapter 1176
“Liam!” The principal hollered.
The boy didn’t turn around.
Paige was a bit puzzled and glanced at Baillie.
“It’s okay.” Baillie replied gently.
The principal awkwardly said, “Um… his parents have both passed away.”
Paige asked in surprise, “Does he have any other relatives at home?”
“None…”
“No adults at all?” Paige asked again in surprise.
“Pretty much. He used to have a small house nearby, but it’s been taken over by his aunt’s family…” The principal
stopped there.

If Ivy’s parents could help Liam, that would be great.
“So that’s how it is…” Paige said, frowning. “No wonder his grades are poor, how can he study well in such an
environment…”
“Huh?” The principal was startled, then hurriedly waved his hands, “His grades are very good, top of his class!”
“What?”
To be honest, Paige wasn’t being biased. It was simply unusual for a top student to bring a slingshot to school and
defiantly confront the principal. “Considering he doesn’t have any relatives at home, let’s do our best to support
him. If anything happens to the child, please inform us,” Paige suggested. “Yeah, no problem!” Baillie agreed, willing
to assist in any way possible.
Little did they expect that Liam, the young boy with the slingshot, had found himself an advocate. However, it was
still not acceptable for him to bring the slingshot to school. While it was used to protect someone today, there was
no guarantee that it wouldn’t cause harm to others in the future.
After fully comprehending the situation, Paige decided to reach out to Rosalynn. She informed Rosalynn about
Liam’s circumstances, leaving Rosalynn equally astonished. It turned out that the person who had saved her
daughter’s life was a child.
After the call, Baillie and Paige headed to the hospital.
On the way, Paige badmouthed Olivia for quite a while.
When they arrived at the hospital, Ivy’s wounds had just been bandaged.
She had cried herself to sleep in Wayne’s arms.
“Poor thing!” Paige was heartbroken.
“You guys take her home.” Rosalynn looked at Wayne and others, “I’ll go meet Olivia”
“Don’t go!” Wayne reacted immediately, “Don’t see her again, just let her drop dead!”
“Murder is illegal.” Rosalynn looked at Wayne, “With so many witnesses, if she dies, don’t you think they will trace it

Wayne frowned.
“It’s her mistake, and I refuse to bear the consequences. We were all careless today, but I won’t give her another
opportunity to repeat it,” Rosalynn stated firmly. “The issues between you two have been resolved, and now it’s my
turn to deal with her.”
Rosalynn had always found it tiresome to engage in a battle of wits with Olivia. It had been the same six years ago,
and it hadn’t changed. However, if Olivia was seeking her own downfall, she couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.
“I’ll accompany you,” Wayne interjected, his eyes closing as he visualized Olivia wielding a knife at Ivy in a crazed
manner. He feared that Olivia might pose a threat to Rosalynn as well.
“She’s eager to see you, but I won’t allow her to have her way,” Rosalynn assured Wayne, tenderly caressing his
cheek. “Don’t worry, I’ll go with Mike and the others.” Just then, Ivy woke up suddenly.
“Don’t be scared, baby, daddy is here, daddy’s here!” Wayne immediately started to soothe her.
Ivy looked utterly pitiful, her tear-filled eyes staring at Wayne.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and called out softly, “Daddy…”
