Chapter 74: Connections

Book:Fallen Heir Rising Published:2024-6-5

Marquise was crying in fear. He was the one who stole the jelly. Madeleine was fully aware of it.
However, Marquise pointed the finger at Theo and Janessa for the theft, and Madeleine, in order to please Marquise’s parents, framed and set them up.
Theo and Janessa, the fatherless, impoverished riffraff, were an easy target for bullying.
“You asshole out of nowhere scared my child!” The middle-aged woman sneered coldly, proudly declaring, “Apologize to us, or else, when my husband arrives, you will pay!”
“So, you are the father of these two bastards? Birds of a feather flock together, indeed, emitting a nauseating stench…”
The middle-aged woman scolded like a shrew, “Your children are born thieves, incorrigible! They ought to perish!”
Quentin simply gazed coldly at her.
“Dad… we didn’t steal anything… really, we didn’t!”
“It was Marquise who stole… and then told the teacher we did!”
“Marquise even poured leftover food over our heads the other day. The teacher saw it but did nothing!”
The more Quentin listened, the more his heart ached!
These two children had suffered so much injustice at school?
This female teacher was clearly targeting Theo and Janessa!
In front of so many children and parents in public, she abused and exposed them as thieves, even revealing their family circumstances…
Clearly, she wanted to isolate the two children!
Heinous!
If he hadn’t come here today and supported them, how much pressure would Theo and Janessa have to bear?
“Today, with me here, I will seek justice for you.”
“I won’t let you suffer any injustice.”
After saying that, he strode towards the middle-aged woman!
“What… what do you want to do?” The middle-aged woman’s haughty demeanor gradually turned into a look of panic.
Quentin’s two powerful and heavy slaps left her cheeks swollen, blood oozing, almost knocking out her teeth.
People with foul mouths should be properly taught a lesson!
“Who dares to bully my children and humiliate my family, I will make them pay.”
“Both being parents, how can you say such things?”
“And… if it’s true that your child falsely accused my Theo and Janessa, I guarantee you, I will make you pay for it.” Quentin spoke with authority.
“How dare you hit Mrs. Lee?” Madeleine stood up, accusing, “You are seeking death! Do you know what Mrs. Lee’s status is?”
“Shut up.” Quentin kicked out, and with a forceful blow, Madeleine’s knees buckled, and she knelt down with a thud.
“As a teacher, you’re biased and falsely accused my children, even beating them. I will settle this account with you later!”
“Now, immediately bring out the surveillance footage, within five minutes… I want to see the truth!”
Quentin stepped up to the platform, his cold and piercing gaze sweeping across the entire room, each word punctuated, “Moments ago! Every single one of you here, called my children bastards and said they were thieves! You… are all accomplices! Today, I will seek justice for my children!”
“Not one of you can escape!”
“Outrageous! You are truly outrageous!” Mrs. Lee gritted her teeth, “I will immediately call my husband! My husband is the second in command in the education department! I will ensure that these two bastards of yours will never be able to study for the rest of their lives!”
“I will make sure you go to jail!” She shrieked in hysteria.
Quentin sneered, “Do as you please, as long as you can bear the consequences.”
“We’re leaving!”
“These two children are illegitimate. Today, there are witnesses to their theft. We haven’t misspoken in any of our words! What right do you have to detain us here?” the furious parents spoke.
“If I hadn’t been here today, my two children would have been labeled as thieves, pointed at, bullied, and continuously humiliated… You did nothing wrong?” Quentin coldly confronted them, his gaze icy. “You can leave, but the moment you step out of the classroom, your legs will be crippled.”
His chilling words startled everyone present.
Mrs. Lee called her husband.
Meanwhile, Madeleine thought about calling the principal to handle the situation.
Shortly after, the principal hurriedly arrived.
“What’s going on? Huh? Who dares to cause a scene in public? Do you want to end up in jail?” He entered, hands on hips, scolding furiously. His gaze fell upon Quentin. “It’s you? Young man, it seems you have no regard for your own life.”
“They falsely accused my two children of stealing, insulted them as bastards, and the kindergarten teacher even punished my children…”
“Now, I need surveillance footage.”
Quentin’s tone was as domineering as ever, and the principal felt an intense pressure bearing down on him, making him uncomfortable.
“Outrageous! You think you have the right to access the surveillance footage in my school?”
“And let me tell you, you can’t afford to provoke Director Lee’s child and wife. Now, turn around, and I might give you a chance. Otherwise…”
He pointed at Quentin and shouted, “With your crimes today, I’ll have you thrown in jail immediately!”
“So, you’re no different from the rest.” Quentin couldn’t be bothered to waste words with him any longer. With a swift movement, he punched him and sent him crashing to the ground.
The principal’s head split open, blood pouring out.
He let out a howl. Exceptionally miserable…
“My patience is limited. The final countdown starts now. Three minutes, or face the consequences!”
“Ah… I will immediately have someone retrieve the surveillance footage… I’ll go now!” The principal quickly begged for mercy.
As the principal of a private kindergarten, he was used to flaunting his power and had never encountered a scene like this before. Now, he was utterly terrified…
Mrs. Lee hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and said, “Just you wait. My husband will bring people here soon!”
“Our connections at the police station are beyond your imagination. You’re finished!”
“Connections?” Quentin chuckled. “I’ll wait and see.”
He dialed the mayor of Stresall directly. “Send a division of troops to the Ockross Kindergarten.”
Today, he would stop at nothing to regain Theo and Janessa’s reputation!
A division of troops?
“Hiss…” Everyone gasped, was this guy serious?
Mrs. Lee sneered, unable to contain her laughter. “What a pretense! He’s just a rapist, and he’s calling for the military to intervene? This is hilarious…”
“You can’t scare us!”
People quickly realized that he was just pretending. How could he possibly have the ability to mobilize an entire division from the military?
“Like father, like son. No wonder these two bastards have no manners. It turns out their father is no good either.”
“Hahaha, this is so funny…”
