Chapter 298
In the principal's office.
As soon as she walked in the door, Amelia saw Patrick sitting on the couch with his dignified appearance.
He sat, but the principal stood, scowling and smiling.
Visibly relieved to see Andrew, the principal turned to Patrick and said, "Mr. Hopper, your nephew is here!"
Patrick laughed scornfully, "My nephew is hurt like this and you're laughing, is this how your school protects its students?"
The principal was not sure what to say.
Andrew was nervous from the moment he met Patrick. He admired him but was also afraid of him, wondering how Patrick would handle his fight...
"Where are Andrew's parents?" The woman didn't know who Patrick was yet, just assumed he was someone unimportant.
Owen liked to keep a low profile because of his work, and Nora was a gentle person who had never told anyone that she was from The Hopper Family.
Patrick stared at the woman, "I'm Andrew's uncle, and I've heard from the principal that the responsibility for what just happened is on our side, so tell me what you want to do about it." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
The woman was surprised by Patrick's quickness, and after coughing said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, as long as you compensate the medical expenses..."
"Sure."
"Also, I want Andrew to apologize to Bache personally."
"Okay."
Everything Patrick said made Amelia uneasy, and she was sure Andrew did too, wasn't Patrick partial to his nephews and nieces?
The woman paused to make sure she hadn't missed anything, and then urged Patrick, "Now can I get your nephew to apologize?"
With his hands clasped in his lap, Patrick said in a low voice, "Andrew, come here."
Andrew remained motionless while holding Amelia's hand, which was shaking.
Patrick said in an unusually terrifying tone, "Come here, and don't make me say it a second time!"
Andrew broke away from Amelia's hand and reluctantly came to Patrick's side.
Before Patrick could say anything, Andrew yelled "I'm sorry" and then quickly turned around and ran out of the principal's office without looking back!
No one expected this to happen, and Patrick was the only one in the room who reacted.
As he went after Andrew, he said to Amelia, "I'll get him, you go get Ashley, and I'll see you in front of the school."
Amelia watched his back and wondered if he could calm Andrew down...
"Oh, it's good that things are settled..." said the principal nervously, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his face.
In fact, the principal was so shocked when he found out about Andrew's background that he even complained about Andrew's homeroom teacher not telling him this crucial information in time!
It was a good thing Patrick was a reasonable guy, or he would have been in big trouble!
In the classroom.
After all the children in the class had left, only two boys remained around a little girl, one holding a candy bar and the other a game console, coaxing the sullen little girl who was lying on the table.
"Ashley, just smile, just smile, and the candy is yours!"
"Ashley, and my game console, which I can lend you for a week."
Ashley got annoyed with them and pushed away from the candy and game cansole on the table. "Leave me alone and I'll make my brother beat you up!"
The boy who had the game console rubbed his nose, "Andrew got called to the principal's office for fighting. He doesn't have time to hit us!"
"Exactly!" The Candy boy followed him and said, they had been disliking Andrew for a long time and that Ashley was the most popular girl in the class, but Andrew never let them near her.
Both boys panicked and clumsily didn't know how to comfort Ashley as she cried out at what was supposed to be a joke between them.
Amelia, who was standing in front of the classroom, couldn't take it anymore and walked into the classroom saying, "Ashley, let's go home, your brother is fine."
Amelia's words made Ashley look up and with a weeping face, she left her chair and ran into Amelia's arms, "Auntie Amelia..."
Ashley was actually a fragile girl.
Amelia kissed Ashley on the head and asked, "Do you want to see your brother soon?"
"Yes!"
"Then put your tears and snot away quickly."
"Yes!" Ashley sniffed and didn't dare to let it fall down.
After temporarily calming Ashley down, Amelia walked to Ashley's table and helped her pack the backpack. When she saw the two little boys looking at her curiously, she smiled and asked, "Are you all Ashley's friends?"
The candy boy scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Ah? I think so."
Amelia laughed, "Here's a little tip for you guys, if you want to be friends with Ashley, why don't you please Andrew first so that you have a chance to get close to Ashley."
The two little boys' eyes lit up, "Right!"
"That's how it's going to be from now on!"
When they suddenly got the hang of it, Amelia smiled, grabbed the backpack, and left with Ashley.
She had to say that, because Andrew had hit Bache in front of the whole class today and was sure he'd be labeled a "bad boy" or something like that, and she didn't want to see Andrew isolated...
At the school gate, Amelia only saw Patrick's Lamborghini, not Patrick and Andrew in the car.
Ashley shook Amelia's arm uneasily, "Where is Andrew?"
Amelia returned with a slightly calm smile and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Patrick has been following him all the time. They will come soon."
Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In fact, it's not all Andrew's fault to fight. It's Bache's provocation!"
"Oh? How did Bache provoke Andrew?" Amelia held her breath and waited for Ashley.
"Bache said... daddy is a cripple..." Ashley's eyes dimmed.
This was outrageous!
Amelia was incredulous, she understood the hatred in Andrew's eyes as he looked at Bache, who could put up with that?
"Ah!" Ashley suddenly pointed to the back of Amelia and screamed, "It's my brother! He's back!"
When Amelia looked back, he saw that Andrew was carried on Patrick's shoulder by one hand. No matter how Andrew struggled, Patrick still walked toward them without any confusion.
Her red lips opened slightly out of surprise. "What's going on?"
