Defending My Daughter Chapter 8
Rick's car did not stop in front of any hotel.It drove away from the city and finally stopped in front of an imposing mansion.The gate opened. I held Tina's hand tightly, my palms clammy with sweat.Seeing that gate again made my heart sink. The scene of being driven out six years ago rushed into my mind.My body stiffened, and I pulled Tina's hand, subconsciously wanting to pull the car door open and run away."Mandy."Rick turned off the engine, turned around, and said in a deep and powerful voice, "Don't be afraid. I couldn't protect you six years ago, but now, I won't let you suffer anymore, not even a little bit."He paused, then said slowly, "The problem that I want to solve is far bigger than those pieces of trash at the school. I want to make sure that you and I never have to worry again."He led us out of the car and through the courtyard.On an exquisite wooden chair, a gray-haired woman in an expensive attire sat upright. The woman was Rick's mother, Rachel.Her
Defending My Daughter Chapter 7
In front of the live-streaming camera, the large office was eerily silent. There was only the sound of heavy and frantic heartbeats.My daughter Tina, who had previously been deemed "emotionally unstable", was now the only judge.She was still trembling, but when my hand covered hers, when she saw the encouraging look in Rick's eyes, light was rekindled in her hollow eyes.Standing in front of the enormous whiteboard, she picked up the pen. In the live stream, the comments surged."Oh my god, they're asking a child to do it? That's so cruel!""What's going on? The child is scared silly!""What are the parents doing?!"Then, Tina spoke.Her timid voice still carried a sob, but it was incredibly clear. "3 multiplied by 5 means there are 3 plates, and each plate has 5 candies on it."With much difficulty, she drew three wobbly circles on the board and marked five little dots in each circle."So, there are 15 candies in total."Then, she drew five smaller circles and marked th

He walked over to the whiteboard, picked up a black marker, and put it in Tina's little hand.He knelt down and said softly, in a voice only the three of us could hear, "Tina, don't be scared. Go ahead and write down the problem that caused you so much misery."Tina was still trembling a little. She looked at me, then at the encouraging look on Rick's face.I held her little hand, covering it with mine, and together we held the marker.Together, on the huge whiteboard, we wrote two lines of equations:3 x 5 = ?5 x 3 = ?After that, I looked up, my piercing gaze landing on Ms. Watson."Ms. Watson, didn't you say that 3 multiplied by 5 is not equal to 5 multiplied by 3?"Ms. Watson did not dare to look at me or Rick, her eyes darting around in panic. "I... I was talking about the problem-solving approach... it's about logic...""Very good."Rick clapped his hands twice.He stepped forward, took the marker from Tina's hand, and wrote a title on the whiteboard in a flourish: "

In the car, silence enveloped us.Tina nestled in my arms, her small face softening against my heart, finally regaining some color.The streets outside the window rapidly receded, like they were a world away.Suddenly, my phone rang, piercing the silence.The ID on the screen was: Principal.I looked at Rick. I thought he would immediately hang up, but to my surprise, he pressed the speaker button.The principal’s greasy and insincere voice came through, dripping with feigned generosity, "I'm willing to give you one more chance, Ms. Sanders. Have your daughter write a thorough reflection letter admitting that she lied and harmed herself to frame Ms. Watson, and I might consider allowing her to return to school as an observer. As for your job... young people should learn that impulsiveness comes at a cost. But if you cooperate, I might explain to your company that it was just a misunderstanding."He paused, his tone condescending, "After all, it's not easy being a single mother.
Defending My Daughter Chapter 4
Karen’s tirade abruptly halted.Standing at the gate was a tall man, impeccably dressed in a tailored black suit, looking weary from travel.The neighbors who were about to surround us quickly retreated.It was Rick Rivers.He had arrived.Karen was stunned, but she still said stubbornly, "Wh-What I just said is none of your business!"Rick ignored her and walked straight towards me.His gaze swept past me and landed on Tina, who was trembling uncontrollably. He saw the expulsion notice in my hand and the lingering redness on Tina's wrist.The last bit of warmth left his eyes.He took off his suit jacket, wrapped it around Tina and shielded us behind him.Slowly, he turned back to face Karen."I'm her man and the kid's father."Karen turned pale, but still tried to hold her ground. "So what?! Because you didn’t educate her properly..."Rick pulled out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to someone."Find out who the person in the photo is."Soon, a call came through,
Defending My Daughter Chapter 3
My daughter's question made my heart tighten.Before I could respond, there was a loud bang at the door.When I opened it, I saw Ms. Watson and Director Lee from the math Olympiad program.Director Lee was holding a cardboard box with a smile on her face that did not reach her eyes.Meanwhile, Ms. Watson leaned against the doorframe, contemptuously looking us up and down."Ms. Sanders, I'm here to deliver your daughter's stuff."Director Lee forcefully shoved the box into my arms, causing me to stumble back. The books inside the box spilled out.At the top of the spilled books was a painting by my daughter, one that had won an award, now marred by a clear, muddy shoe print."Can't leave anything behind. Our school believes in finishing what you started," she said, her mouth twisted with heavy mockery. "Furthermore, we wanted to 'communicate' with you in person."She casually adjusted her scarf."We're sorry your daughter has been expelled, but you need to reflect on yoursel
