Dave was taken aback. “The Farwell family?” Since he had just been transferred here from the north, he wasn’t too familiar with the hierarchy in the city.
Moreover, never in his wildest dreams did he expect the famous Lucian Farwell from Farwell Group to be such a young man. To him, everyone in the business industry would have to treat him with respect.
Still, the other parents recognized the three children. “Aren’t these three children the geniuses who immediately became famous when they first enrolled in the school?”
“I think you’re right. They’re a pair of twins and their adorable little sister. It really is them! We’re doomed. I heard that their parents are quite influential people.”
“T-The Farwell family? The most prestigious family in Horington, that Farwell family?” Dumbstruck, the parents stared at Lucian and Roxanne with fearful expressions.
One of them hurried over to tug Dave’s arm, winking repeatedly, anxiously hoping that the latter would take the hint.
Dave was bewildered. “The most prestigious family in Horington?” Following that, he met Lucian’s piercing gaze, and his heart lurched in response.
“L-Lucian Farwell? Mr. Farwell?” Dave stuttered in disbelief. Though he held a pretty significant position that even the school authorities had to show him some respect, he was nowhere as influential as Lucian Farwell of Farwell Group.
Scared senseless, Dave froze on the spot as he gulped nervously. “So, why did your son attack my two kids?” Lucian inquired through clenched teeth. His tone was frigid.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Farwell. My child was out of line. It’s my fault for not raising my child properly. I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson!” One of the parents who already came back to his senses immediately strode over to his own son and slapped the child.
Next, the other parents snapped out of their dazed states as well and immediately apologized profusely. “Mr. Farwell, it was all my son’s fault. I’ll get him to apologize to your children immediately!”
“Mr. Farwell, it’s my fault for not educating my son properly and allowing him to behave so outrageously, Hey, what are you waiting for?
Hurry up and apologize to the Farwells! Are you deaf?” Apart from Zaron, the other three children’s parents punished their kids severely without showing any mercy, punching and slapping. them to teach them a lesson.
The three children began wailing in agony, not understanding why they were being treated this way. Prior to this, nothing had ever befallen them when they followed Zaron’s lead and bullied the other kids.
Zaron was stunned upon witnessing this scene. Puzzled, he asked his father, “Dad, all I did was push the twins. What’s wrong with that? Dad, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“You d*mn brat!” Dave finally understood the principle of the saying “If one played with fire, one would eventually get burned.” Zaron’s arrogance and domineering attitude finally led to his downfall.
Dave strode toward his son with the intention of punishing him like how the other parents were doing to their own children. He hoped that his actions of beating up his own son would appease the Farwell family. However, he was unexpectedly stopped by Lucian.
Roxanne shared her husband’s sentiment. Gritting her teeth, she said coldly, “Mr. Rynder, I don’t like the way you’re handling this situation. Do you think we’ll overlook the matter just because you’ve punished your children? My sons were injured for no reason!”
Dave was momentarily at a loss for words. Terror filled his eyes as he hurriedly concurred, “Y-You’re right! We should apologize and compensate you for what happened! Mrs. Farwell, right? I apologize for my son’s mischievous behavior!”
“There’s no need to apologize or compensate us, but we will be deciding how to punish the four children.” Lucian lifted a hand, silencing the clamoring parents immediately.
