Quentin lifted Janessa and Theo in his arms, saying, “I know you’re good kids, and today I will definitely make things right for you.”
“We have nothing to fear when we’ve done nothing wrong.”
Initially, he could have just given these guys a good scolding, but what mattered most was to prove the kids innocent without resulting in psychological trauma.
“Yeah, yeah!” The two children nodded as if they understood.
Soon after, the surveillance footage was brought in.
Quentin immediately played it for everyone to see.
In the footage, Marquise was caught eating a jelly, and when questioned by Madeleine, he directly accused Theo and Janessa.
Next, it was the scene of Madeleine punishing the two children…
“It wasn’t them?” Some of the parents were stunned, but they were reluctant to admit their mistake!
Quentin gazed at Mrs. Lee and Marquise. “Do you have anything to say?”
“Haha… So what if Marquise ate it? What can you do to us? Who made you, two bastards born in shame, look like thieves…”
“My husband works in the Education Department! What right do you, a nobody from the countryside, have to confront us? What good would it do even if the truth came to light?”
“In this society, power speaks louder than truth!”
The principal also said lightly, “Young man, you are too naive.”
Madeleine also laughed…
“Fool, you will soon be thrown into jail! And your two bastards will become the criminals…”
“And what about Mrs. Lee? Still the lofty Mrs. Lee!”
Just then…
“Who dares to bully my wife and child?” a fierce shout rang out, and a middle-aged fat man strode in aggressively.
“Honey!”
“Director Lee!”
Seeing Wayne Lee, those people acted as if they had encountered a savior.
“Are you causing trouble?” Wayne glanced at Quentin with disdain and arrogance.
“I’m just seeking justice for my child.”
“Explaining to me is useless. Discuss it in the jail. What right do you have to talk to me!”
He waved his hand, and several constables immediately pulled out handcuffs to take Quentin away.
“Are you sure you want to cuff me?”
“You have offended Director Lee and caused a scene in public, this is your consequence,” they said lightly.
“Are you saying that with a bit of power in his hands, he can distort right and wrong and do as he pleases?”
“You can understand it that way.” They sneered, “Who made you have no money, power, or background?”
“Alright! Since you put it that way, I have no reservations either!”
He pressed the call button, “Now, everyone, come in immediately.”
As his voice fell, suddenly, outside the kindergarten, a neat sound of marching feet could be heard, causing the ground to tremble slightly…
“What’s going on?”
“Go outside and see!”
Wayne ordered a constable to go out onto the balcony…
A few seconds later, the person rushed back with a pale face, “Director Lee, there are a lot of soldiers from the Stresall Division outside, and they are coming up the stairs…”
“What?”
“How did soldiers from the Stresall Division suddenly appear here…”
Others were even more shocked. Was it a coincidence? It couldn’t be…
Just then, the dense sound of footsteps approached like a drumbeat, and a large group of soldiers in military uniforms, armed with guns, and fully armed, rushed in…
A chilling atmosphere pervaded the room…
Outside the corridor, soldiers stood densely, three steps apart, looking enough to send chills down one’s spine…
“It’s, it’s real!”
“Guns…”
Upon seeing the soldiers with real guns and a fierce atmosphere rushing in, those people’s legs suddenly went weak, almost scaring the urine out of them…
A young man rushed to Quentin, saluted, and shouted, “Mr. Holland, the entire third battalion of the Stresall Division is present! As long as you give the order, we can act at any time!”
Upon hearing this, Wayne, his wife, the principal, and Madeleine were all dumbfounded!
Did Quentin really call in a battalion?
“Good.” Quentin nodded slightly. “My child was punished, falsely accused, and humiliated at school. According to the law, what crime should be charged?”
“Mr. Holland, you are of noble status. According to our empire law, those who dishonor your family, especially severely, can be put to death on the spot…”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s head buzzed, and their world spun…
“Alright.”
Quentin stood with his hands behind his back.
He strode back to the podium with sharp eyes, overlooking the crowd, “Now, this is your last chance. Those who have humiliated and oppressed my children in the past, kneel down and apologize to them…”
“Opportunity only comes once!”
