Chapter 1

After building my fortune from nothing over the course of decades, I had always known the value of keeping a low profile.I owned dozens of companies, but I never showed my face in public. When I went grocery shopping, I rode an old electric scooter. The coats I wore were always bought on sale.None of my neighbors knew who I really was, which spared me a lot of unnecessary favors and fake friendships.Then, one afternoon, while I was at home carving a wooden toy for my granddaughter, I received a call from her kindergarten.“Hello? Are you Nina Spencer’s grandfather? Your granddaughter bullied another child at school. The situation is very serious. You need to come over immediately and deal with it!”The voice on the other end sounded cold and impatient, like she was just going through the motions.My heart sank.I knew Nina better than anyone. She was gentle and kind. Ever since she was little, she wouldn’t even step on an ant if she could help it.How could she possibly hit

“Did I not make myself clear enough?” Ms. Zeller rolled her eyes. “Your granddaughter bullied Harvey Harris. She even wrinkled his clothes!“Now his family is demanding compensation for medical expenses and emotional distress. The total is ten thousand dollars.”I had spent decades fighting my way through the business world, but even then, hearing something this absurd still left me stunned.“Ten thousand? Where is he hurt?”“Right here, obviously.” Ms. Zeller pointed at the back of Harvey’s hand.If she hadn’t pointed it out, I wouldn’t even have noticed the faint pink scratch on his chubby hand. It was almost invisible to the naked eye.As for the injuries on Nina, I counted at least seven.“Then what about the injuries on Nina?”“What about them?” Ms. Zeller said. “She bullied Harvey first. Harvey was only defending himself.”“A five-year-old defending himself did all this?”I stared hard into Ms. Zeller’s eyes.Her expression darkened. Embarrassed and angry, she pointed

“First, you need to compensate Harvey for his medical expenses and emotional distress. The total is ten thousand dollars. Second...”She adjusted her glasses.“Given Nina’s repeated aggressive behavior recently, we recommend that she transfer to another school.”I looked down at the document.It was a voluntary transfer agreement, neatly printed and ready to go. All it needed was my signature and a fingerprint.“You’re saying Nina has been aggressive more than once?”I looked up and stared at Ms. Carter. “When exactly? Where are the records?”Ms. Carter froze for a second, as if she hadn’t expected me to question her.But she quickly put on her superior attitude again.“We’ll organize the details later. Right now, the priority is resolving the matter in front of us. You should sign first, and then...”“I want to see the security footage.”“The security footage?” Ms. Carter frowned impatiently. “The cameras happen to be under maintenance today, so we can’t pull up the footage

I glanced at Harvey, whose face was practically glowing with arrogance.“Because the grandson you begged me to help get into this kindergarten just beat up my granddaughter.”The other end of the line went silent.Even the sound of breathing disappeared.“You’d better hurry.”No one in the office said a word.After a while, Ms. Carter suddenly burst out laughing.“Sir, you’re already this old. How can you still say something so childish?” Ms. Carter shook her head.Ms. Zeller looked at me with the same speechless expression.“You’re an old man in cheap slip-ons, yet you’re claiming the richest man’s grandson only got into this kindergarten because you helped him? Are you losing your mind?”I ignored their mockery.Soon enough, they would understand exactly how stupid they were.I took Nina to the side and sat down, waiting in silence.Ten minutes later, hurried footsteps sounded in the hallway.They came closer and closer.At last, the office door was pushed open.The m

John dropped to his knees and slammed his forehead against the floor again and again. Within moments, blood began to seep from his skin.“Mr. Spencer, this is all my fault. I failed to discipline my family. I was wrong. I know I was wrong!“Please, Mr. Spencer. I’m begging you. Have mercy on me just this once!”His face twisted with panic as he cried and pleaded.Ms. Carter stood off to the side, completely stunned. She froze in place, not knowing how to react.Ms. Zeller’s mouth twitched. Her face flushed, then drained of color.“Mr. Harris? What’s going on? Why are you treating him like...”“Shut your mouth!”John’s eyes went wide as he roared at her.“I’m just Mr. Spencer’s driver. What Mr. Harris? I’ve been driving for him for ten years. Since when did I become some big-shot Mr. Harris?”His voice cracked from panic.Then he quickly turned back to explain to me.“Mr. Spencer, please don’t listen to them. They’re the ones who started calling me that. It has nothing to do

John scrambled over to Harvey on his hands and knees. He grabbed the chubby boy, who was still giggling, and forced him to bend at the waist.“Apologize! Now!”Harvey had probably never seen his grandfather like this in his life. He burst into tears on the spot.“I’m sorry... I’m sorry...”He cried so hard snot bubbled from his nose, and he kept bowing to Nina again and again.Nina hid behind me and peeked out with half of her little face.After a long while, she finally whispered, “I forgive you.”I patted her gently on the head.Nina was so kind it made my heart ache.After dealing with Nina’s matter, I finally turned to Ms. Carter and Ms. Zeller.“The office building this kindergarten is located in belongs to me,” I said slowly.Ms. Carter’s expression changed instantly.Before she could defend herself, I pointed at Ms. Zeller.“You’re fired.”Then I looked at Ms. Carter.“Write a statement of reflection and submit it to the education department. Write down everything

“Steven, I saw a video of you online.”“What video?”“It says you’re some kind of... bully parent? That you used your power to force a kindergarten teacher out, and even threatened the principal into kneeling?”I frowned.I had a pretty good idea of what had happened.But when I got home and opened my phone, I realized the situation was far worse than I had expected.A local social media account with some influence had posted a video.The title was glaring.“Bully Grandfather Exposed in Our City! Abuses Power to Force Out Excellent Teacher. Elite Kindergarten Becomes Playground for the Rich and Powerful!”In the video, a woman with her face blurred out was crying in front of the camera.Her voice was obviously Ms. Zeller’s.“I worked so hard at this kindergarten for five years. Just because that old man’s granddaughter had a conflict with another child, he used his power to pressure the principal into firing me!“I don’t understand. I was only handling the dispute fairly, b

Chapter 8

After hanging up, I rubbed my temples.Maybe age had made me softer. After seeing enough of the world, a lot of things stopped feeling worth fighting over.But even then, there was only so much shamelessness I could put up with.A day later, my assistant brought me a thick investigation report.The moment I opened to the first page, I realized I had been far too merciful to John and his family.The influencer who exposed the story had been contacted by Karen.Over the years, while pretending to be the wife of the richest man in the city, Karen had built up quite a few connections. Through those contacts, she eventually reached the influencer’s business team.She paid him four thousand dollars and handed him a fully scripted victim’s narrative.Ms. Zeller was the ready-made actress.One provided the money. The other appeared on camera.They worked together perfectly.But that was nothing.What truly enraged me was the second part of the investigation report.John hadn’t jus

“To the influencer who spread the rumors and the teacher who got fired, do either of you even have a conscience?”The influencer couldn’t sit still for long.At first, he had only taken money to do a job. But now that he realized he had been completely used, his reputation was ruined.That same night, he posted an apology video. In it, he exposed the entire process of how Karen and Ms. Zeller had worked together to spread the rumor.“It was that woman named Karen who came to me first. She paid me four thousand dollars and gave me a whole script. She told me to film everything according to the script. Ms. Zeller was arranged by her too!“I admit I took the money and posted the video without verifying the facts. That was my fault. But the real masterminds were those two women!”This time, the internet truly exploded.So the so-called wife of the richest man, Karen, had not only framed the victim after her own family hurt someone, but she had also paid people to spread rumors onlin

Chapter 10

Her twenty-year career came to an end that day.I later heard that when Ms. Carter left the kindergarten, she was still cursing at the entrance.“He’s just a rich old man. What’s so great about him?”Unfortunately for her, no one was listening anymore.A month later, the kindergarten got a new principal.Her name was Ms. Ford.On her first day, she gathered all the teachers for a meeting.“Education is work that requires a conscience. Under my leadership, every child will be treated equally, no matter who their parents are. If anyone here can’t do that, you may leave right now.”Ms. Lloyd told me about it later, her voice full of emotion.“Mr. Spencer, ever since Ms. Ford came, the entire atmosphere at the kindergarten has changed.”Nina felt the change too.The children whose parents had once pulled them away and refused to let them play with her slowly came back after their parents watched the security footage.Several parents even reached out to me and apologized.“Mr.
