Chapter 144
Crystal was startled by her action. “Why are you kneeling before me?”
At this time, Mrs. Bowles was no longer as arrogant as before. She sobbed and said, “I know it’s
Leland’s fault. I apologize to you on his behalf…”
Crystal said softly, “Leland has done something wrong, so he should apologize. And… the person you
offended is not me.”
Leland immediately said, “I’m not wrong! Why should I apologize?!”
Mrs. Bowles pulled him over and slapped him on the face. She said sternly, “Apologize to Bernard!”
Leland was stunned. This was the first time in his life that he had been slapped, let alone by Mrs.
Bowles, who had always spoiled him. He burst into tears. “You hit me… You actually hit me!” Mrs.
Bowles ignored her son’s cries and said harshly, “I told you to apologize to Bernard! Did you hear me?
Apologize immediately!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeland was frightened by his ferocious mother. After all, he was still a four-year-old child. He didn’t dare
to resist and said to Bernard, “I, I’m sorry… I know I was wrong.”
Crystal looked at the palm print on Leland’s face, frowned, and asked Bernard, “Bernard, are you
willing to forgive him?”
Holding the piece of chocolate in his hand, Bernard gave a soft “hmm” and said, “What he said is fake.
I won’t be angry with him.”
Crystal smiled, touched Bernard’s head, and said, “Yes, what he said is fake.”
When Mrs. Bowles heard that Bernard had forgiven Leland, she quickly turned to Crystal and said,
“Miss Evans, I was arrogant earlier. I hope that you won’t take it to heart…” She wiped away her tears
and said, “I will immediately go and arrange for Leland to leave the kindergarten… Don’t worry, Leland
will never appear in front of Bernard again.”
Crystal remembered what the principal had said before. Leland’s behavior was too bad. If he continued
to stay in this kindergarten, it would be a potential threat to other children, so she agreed. Mrs. Bowles
was ecstatic.
Crystal suddenly said, “Mrs. Bowles, I have a few words to say to you.”
Mrs. Bowles’s attitude towards Crystal had changed by 180 degrees. She lowered her head and said
obediently, “Go ahead.”
“If you
live by relying on a man, you won’t have a good ending.” Crystal looked down and said, “You think you
are very important, but in fact, the other party can abandon you at will, even if you have
already given birth to a son for him.”
Mrs. Bowles’s entire body stiffened.
Her mind had been preoccupied with the revenge of the White family, but now she remembered that
Mr. Bowles wanted to divorce her.
For so many years, she had asked herself if she was virtuous enough. She never asked why her
husband would not return home at night. Sometimes when her husband brought a strange woman

beat her after drinking. She was beaten black and blue, and she would beg her husband to forgive

her. She would say that she would be more obedient and would not make him angry…
However, even though she had worked so hard, her husband had still easily abandoned her through a
divorce agreement.
Tears fell from Mrs. Bowles’s eyes like rain.
Crystal didn’t know if she had figured it out or not.
She was not able to see through all living things. That was all she had to say. If Mrs. Bowles was in
love with this kind of life, she had nothing to say, so she didn’t say anything in the end.
“This one.” Harold suddenly opened his mouth. His cold gaze landed on Mr. Beardsley, who was
shrinking to the side and trying his best to reduce his presence. His tone was indifferent as he said,
“The teacher… who’s unfair.”
