Joey's face was pale.

His throat moved slightly.

He looked like he was about to vomit again...

While Evelyn was observing him, Ethan was already furious.

"Grace, right?"

"You're here cursing the children at this preschool, saying they're sick."

"I can see you have malicious intentions!"

"I won't let this matter rest today!"

Fiona stood nearby with her arms crossed.

She looked at Evelyn smugly.

"Grace, I know you're good at fighting."

"You took down all our bodyguards yesterday."

"But my third brother is a mixed martial arts champion!"

She stared arrogantly at Evelyn.

Her only thought was revenge.

She didn't notice her son's discomfort at all.

Evelyn found them ridiculous.

The principal immediately stepped forward.

She feared Evelyn would get hurt.

"There's been a misunderstanding, Mr. Valentine."

"Let's all calm down and discuss how to handle this properly."

"Violence won't solve anything!"

Ethan glared at her.

"Fine."

"Then I want the teacher who punished Joey yesterday to Kowtow and apologize to him."

"And I want the expulsion notice revoked."

"He will continue his studies here."

He then turned to Evelyn.

"Miss Nan, who was it that dragged him out of the classroom yesterday?"

The principal started to speak.

But Evelyn answered directly.

"It was me."

"Then you will apologize to my child!"

Ethan cracked his neck and flexed his wrists.

"I have a short temper."

"Don't make me do this the hard way."

Evelyn let out a scornful laugh.

A mixed martial arts champion?

It had been a while since she'd had a good fight.

She stood up.

She was about to suggest they find a more spacious place.

She didn't want to wreck the conference room.

But a teacher rushed in from outside.

She went straight to the principal.

She showed her phone and whispered something.

The principal looked shocked.

She immediately went to Evelyn's side.

She spoke in a hushed tone.

"Director Nan, someone is live streaming this."

"They're broadcasting what's happening in the conference room online."

Evelyn frowned at this.

She looked at the principal's phone.

Sure enough, there was a live stream.

The camera wasn't pointed at anyone's face.

It was aimed at their feet.

So it didn't violate anyone's portrait rights.

Following the angle, she quickly spotted the teacher holding the phone.

The principal marched over.

"Who told you to do this?!"

The teacher, caught red-handed, remained unruffled.

She glanced at Fiona.

"I simply can't stand you treating a child this way."

"I want to expose the dark side of this preschool."

"I know I won't have a job here after today."

"But that's fine."

"The world needs people like me who speak the truth."

What did it matter if she lost her job?

Fiona had already paid her enough to live on comfortably.

This live stream was all part of Fiona's scheme.

Ethan causing a scene.

Fiona starting a live stream.

It would immediately damage the preschool's reputation.

The school's board would hold Grace responsible.

The Valentines, despite their power, cared about their image.

Grace would surely be forced to step down.

As the victim, and the only Valentine with a child enrolled...

Her position on the board would naturally be restored.

Fiona had it all figured out.

A smug smile played on her lips.

Evelyn looked at the live stream.

Many people were watching.

The viewer count was climbing rapidly.

The influence was clearly artificial.

Someone had bought a trending topic.

The comments were all criticizing her.

"What kind of leader treats a child like this?"

"That child is only five or six years old!"

"Kicked out of the classroom to stand in the cold?"

"The teacher is way out of line!"

"Does anyone else think the kid's dad is kinda hot?"

"Yeah, he flipped a table, but I get it."

"If someone messed with my kid, I'd want to burn the place down too."

...

The clueless spectators were enjoying the drama.

The principal was furious.

"Shut down the live stream immediately!"

It was the only way she could think to control the damage.

The teacher shook her head.

"No."

"My viewers wouldn't allow it."

"Everyone wants the preschool to give an explanation."

Comments immediately flooded in.

"Why shut it down?"

"Got something to hide?"

"Child abuse at a preschool is a serious issue everyone should care about."

"Already called the police. You're welcome."

"This keeps happening at preschools."

"Why do people without any ethics become teachers?"

"Child abusers deserve to die."

"I hope your own kids go through the same thing!"

...

Ethan frowned.

He hadn't expected a live stream.

The Valentines were on the board.

A public scandal would hurt the family's name.

He moved to grab the phone and stop the stream.

Fiona held his arm.

She whispered to him.

"Third Brother, it's already happening."

"Stopping it now might make things worse."

"The best solution is to have them apologize on camera."

"Let's downplay the whole thing."

Ethan looked at her.

"You're willing to let this go?"

Just an apology for someone who bullied his nephew?

Fiona sighed.

"For the family's reputation, yes."

Ethan thought for a moment.

"Fine."

"She's getting off easy."

"But don't worry, I'll make it up to you elsewhere."

He turned to Evelyn.

"Alright."

"We're reasonable people."

"Come here, apologize properly to the child."

"Revoke the expulsion notice."

"That's the end of it."

"We won't hold the preschool responsible."

At that moment, the teacher with the phone turned.

Joey accidentally came into view.

He looked worse.

He leaned against the wall.

He seemed on the verge of collapsing.

A comment suddenly appeared in the stream.

"I'm a neurologist."

"That child really doesn't look well."
