Chapter 356

작가: Sienna Yates
Sharon knew without a shred of doubt that Matty wasn't the kind of kid to throw a punch for no reason.

Her gaze shifted, falling quietly on Bob, who stood stiff in the corner.

"Bob, why don't you tell everyone… what exactly started this fight?"

Bob opened his mouth but froze the moment his eyes met Matty's. His head dropped, and not a single word came out.

Mrs. Cosgrove rushed in, quickly stepping between them. "Don't you dare try to threaten my son!" she snapped.

Carter felt something was off. He said, "Why don't we try rolling the footage back a little further?"

Sharon's eyes flicked toward the teachers. "There is no more footage. This is all they've provided."

The teachers shifted uncomfortably. Their faces turned pale.

They had seen how everything started. But they hadn't dared to show it. Instead, they only clipped this tiny piece.

If… if Carter found out his son was being targeted at school, this wasn't something the kindergarten could afford to cover up.

    Xavier lowered his gaze, eyes soft but steady as they fell on Matty. "Matty… do you want Daddy to stand up for you?"Matty shook his head slightly. "This started because someone tripped Sharon at Theo's birthday party. If you really want to do something for me, then make the people who humiliated Sharon pay for that instead.""Fair enough. Then bring in everyone who caused Sharon to trip that day. First, let's hear them apologize. As for punishment… that's up to Carter."Carter's brows lifted, something like surprise flickering in his eyes. "So… are you standing up for Matty, or for Sharon?"Xavier smiled. "Matty doesn't need me to fight his battles. If he really couldn't handle it, he would've told me himself. But he didn't. Which means… to him, this wasn't anything serious."His gaze slid lazily, but unmistakably, toward Nate."But honestly… picking on a five-year-old? That's pathetic." His tone sharpened, each word slicing clean. "Carter, there's something I probably shouldn't

    Nate said, "Well… I just couldn't stand that brat always picking on Theo. So yeah, I said a few things. But…"He rushed to add, "But I swear, I only did it in my own name. I never used yours, Carter. Maybe… maybe someone misunderstood, that's all."Xavier let out a dry chuckle. "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not… doesn't really matter. One investigation and we'll know. Carter, you're not planning on covering for your dear old buddy, are you?"There was a sharpness in his tone that made the air suddenly thinner. Xavier was no fool. And he certainly wasn't someone you could brush off with half-truths.Carter's expression tightened. He'd known Nate practically his entire life. Whether Nate was lying… he could tell in an instant.Slowly, he shut his eyes, exhaustion written across his face. "Nate… dragging kids into adult messes…" His voice dropped, heavy with disappointment. "This time, you really crossed the line."Nate's face twitched.Yeah. If Carter decided to dig, there w

    Mrs. Cosgrove's face flushed an ugly, livid shade—dark, blotchy, like overripe liver.Telling others to kneel had always come easy to her. Effortless, even.But when the demand was turned on her… it was a whole different story.Her chest tightened. Even with resentment simmering inside, she couldn't ignore the suffocating pressure radiating off Xavier. Her tone softened."Mr. Cooper, isn't that a little excessive? The surveillance clearly shows it was your kid who started the fight. No matter what was said, hitting someone is wrong. And now, instead of apologizing, you expect the victim's family to kneel? What kind of logic is that?""Logic?" His gaze sharpened. "What I say… is the logic. I'll give you one minute. Kneel. Apologize to Sharon, and I'll let it go."His lips curved into something cold. "But if you insist on going against me…well…the weather's cooling. Seems about time for a certain company to go bankrupt."For a second, Mrs. Cosgrove was stunned. She'd thought Xavie

    Theo spoke quietly, "Telling Mom wouldn't have changed anything. She was tripped by those men, and not a single person stood up for her. No one defended her. Instead, everyone laughed at her. Mom is weak… She doesn't have the power to solve these problems for me."And just now…when Bob's mom found out Mom was Matty's guardian, Bob's mom demanded that Matty kneel and apologize. She wasn't scared of Mom at all." His hands clenched at his sides. "If it had been me who messed up today… would she have told me to kneel too?"Both Carter and Xavier turned to look at Mrs. Cosgrove.Mrs. Cosgrove's face drained of all color, legs visibly shaking under their stares.Theo's voice dropped lower, "Grandma always says… I'm the future heir of the Biggs family. I have to handle things on my own. I can't run to the adults every time something goes wrong."Xavier's dark eyes deepened, as though some storm was brewing quietly behind them.A child raised in love was so different from one who lacked

    The three boys had Theo completely cornered.Watching it unfold on the monitor, Carter's brows knotted tight, his jaw set. Meanwhile, Mrs. Cosgrove looked like her soul had nearly flown out of her body.Even through the cold distance of a surveillance feed, it was clear—Bob and his two friends hadn't come over to chat. Their movements were practiced. Too practiced. This wasn't the first time.Carter's dark eyes grew colder.Then Bob's voice spilled into the room, sharp and mocking."The other day, I overheard my mom saying… your mom only finished middle school. What a joke. Guess you're not so high and mighty after all, huh?"Bet these kids here don't know what an embarrassment your mom is. But don't worry, they're gonna find out. Real soon."And then—silence.No one said a word. No one dared.Only Bob's shrill laughter echoed from the speakers.Carter's gaze cut toward Mrs. Cosgrove, sharp as a blade.Her whole body jolted. Her lips trembled. The blood drained from her face

    When they tried calling back, no one picked up.Panic spread fast. The teachers and the principal glanced toward Carter, like drowning people reaching for the nearest lifeline."Mr. Biggs… you can't just leave us like this," the principal stammered. "We—we were just following your instructions!"Carter's face was still shadowed from that slap. His expression was dark, sharp-edged, barely controlled. "When," he asked coldly, "did I ever tell you to do this?"The principal was close to tears. "But the order did come from you—or at least that's what we were told…"Off to the side, Kelly's heart sank.The principal pressed on. "It was… Nate Hendricks. He said it himself—told us directly. He's been your friend for years. We… we're just ordinary people. How could we possibly afford to offend someone like him… or you?"Carter's face turned stormy. He pulled out his phone and dialed. "Get over here. Now."No explanation. No room for questions. He hung up.Kelly's fingers itched toward
