Chapter 1186
The director heaved a sigh.
Everyone who knew the situation with Liam’s family understood that his parents could never owe so much money
to his uncle and aunt.
But the IOU had legal effect. Everyone was pissed off, but also powerless.
Rosalynn frowned at what she heard.
Wayne wanted to cover Ivy’s ears.
“Sir, doesn’t Liam have a home?” Ivy shook off Wayne’s hand, looking at the director in shock.
The director glanced at Rosalynn, who nodded subtly, indicating it was okay to tell Ivy.
“Liam’s parents died three years ago, and his house was taken over by his uncle and aunt,” the director said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIvy was even more shocked.
“Why would his uncle do such a thing?”
Her uncles, Jaime and Noah Holland, both adored her.
How could there be such a cruel uncle who would treat his own nephew so badly?
Rosalynn didn’t know how to explain adults’ greed to a child.
“Mom, Liam saved my life, I can’t stand by and watch him being bullied!” Ivy told Rosalynn seriously.
“I know.” Rosalynn looked at Ivy soothingly.
“Kids can’t be homeless!” Ivy was already very worried, now even more so, “Mom, we have so many rooms at
home, we can bring Liam home!” “Honey, don’t rush.” Wayne patted Ivy’s head.
Ivy crossed her arms over her chest.
Feeling both saddened and angered by the existence of such bullying individuals in the world, Ivy’s little face
scrunched up in a mix of emotions.
“Sir, since Liam doesn’t want to engage with us at the moment, we won’t disturb him today,” Rosalynn informed
the director as she handed over her business card. “Please contact me if he needs anything.”
“Alright, don’t worry, I will!” the director assured her.
Now, the director had the business cards of both Paige and Rosalynn. He silently thought to himself that at least he
had found a lifeline for the boy.
Liam was still too young to understand, but he would eventually realize that he would need a substantial amount of
money in the future. Life is full of surprises, and being all alone, he was so fragile. How would he withstand any
unexpected accidents or storms that may come his way?
After seeing off the couple and Ivy, the director couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Thinking about it, Liam’s rebellion and Ivy’s optimism were a stark contrast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd this contrast, perfectly reflected the growth of children in happy and unhappy families.
After leaving the principal’s office, Ivy wanted to call Jaime.
Because of the bug incident, they had been giving each other the cold shoulder.
As soon as the call connected, Ivy whined.
“What’s wrong, sweetheart? Does your wound still hurt? I was busy working yesterday, turned off my phone, and
only found out you were hurt in the middle of the night. I called your mom and you were already asleep. I didn’t
deliberately ignore you!”
Jaime immediately got worried when he heard Ivy’s choked voice.
“Jaime, I’ll never be mad at you again,” Ivy said quietly.
“What happened? What exactly happened? Where are your parents? Can you let me talk to them?” Jaime became
very anxious.
“I’m fine. There’s a boy in school, he’s smart and handsome, he saved me yesterday. But he’s very pitiful, he
doesn’t have parents, and his house has been taken over by his uncle…” Ivy’s voice got sadder and sadder.
Liam’s predicament was truly heartbreaking!
