Chapter 712 Theo had to go out for a while, and when he left, I sat on the sofa to read a book.
I stopped when I grew tired. It was already the middle of the night.
Theo had not cback yet and I figured he would probably not cback anymore, so I went to the bedroom to sleep.
The next morning, I took Munchkin to the kindergarten.
When it was almost noon, there were a bunch of notifications on my phone. After looking at the headlines, I quickly tapped one of them to read.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSerena had been forced out. She contacted the media and said that the reason why Theo forced her out was that I had seduced him, that was why she was abandoned. In any case, she made up a bunch of nonsense and went to the top floor of Grant Corporation's building to jump to her death.
I went from being a divorced couple of many years with Theo to a publicly-known licentious woman who would not stop pestering Theo for money.
Seven went as far as saying that Theo and Cindy would have gotten married if it were not for me. They said that I was the one sowing dissension between them.
Theo's identity was extraordinary, so naturally, the scandal was caught by the media who then made a big deal out of it. From what they were saying in the news reports, Theo and I shared a hideous past-one that was unbearable to hear about.
Perhaps I had experienced the sthing a long tago, so even though I was very angry, I was still able to tolerate it.
However, I had neglected Munchkin. Theo and I had gone to the kindergarten to pick Munchkin up together, so most parents knew that he was Theo's son.
If they went hand discussed this, their children would no doubt overhear them. Adults' words and deeds could affect a child. With that, Munchkin would be harmed by other children's words when he was at school.
On this day, I received a call from the kindergarten teacher saying that Munchkin harmed a child and they were at the hospital. They askedto go over immediately.
I rushed to the hospital and learned what had happened when I was there. I grew extremely furious.
The children had cursedin front of Munchkin, so he attacked them because he could not take it anymore.
He was injured as well and there was a gauze wrapped around his head, which madeextremely heartbroken. "Good boy, it's okay now. Don't cry. Mommy's here." Munchkin heldtight and started choking with sobs. "Mommy, they're all bad people. I don't want to go to school anymore. They're all bad people." I blamed myself a lot at this moment. Why did I underestimate the terrifying extent of public opinion? If I had protected Munchkin the day the news started spreading online, then he would not have gotten hurt anymore.
Three years ago, I did not want to get involved in these scandals and wanted to live a peaceful life. That was why I took Munchkin away from Whaldorf City.

For a mother, there was nothing more important than watching their child grow safely and happily.
I took a deep breath and hugged Munchkin even tighter. "Don't worry, Mommy will protect you."
If we wanted to continue staying in Whaldorf City, then must not just ve stand around and do nothing. Did I not already know this three years ago? If one was weak, then one would not be able to guard anything.
After leaving the hospital with Munchkin and getting in the cab, I called Matthew.
The call only got through after a very long time. It was very noisy there, so I figured he was probably very busy.
However, no matter how busy he was at this moment, I needed to see him.
