Janessa and Theo looked aggrieved, their eyes red with suppressed emotions.
But they could only endure silently.
“Our parents will be here soon. They promised Janessa, they will definitely come!”
“You’re lying!” Adelaide persisted.
Mrs. Rosario, swaying her hips, walked up and lightly scolded, “Get back!”
“What’s there to talk about with these bastards? Be careful not to be influenced by them!”
“Children from such families, what manners can they possibly have? Bothering with them only lowers your status! Things raised by lewd vixens… won’t be anything good in the future!”
She cursed harshly.
The surrounding parents all frowned slightly, but they held onto their own children.
“In the future, you should have less contact with those two children, understand?”
“Don’t pick up their bad habits!”
Those parents whispered to their children.
Some obediently nodded, looking at Janessa and Theo with disdain.
Some children looked puzzled, not understanding why their parents wanted them to stay away from Janessa and Theo when they were nice to other kids…
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Janessa and Theo were both isolated.
They could only sit there alone, feeling helpless and wronged.
“It’s okay, Janessa, Theo, no matter how others see you, you will always be my good friends!” Aubree looked at them sincerely.
Just then, an elegant woman walked over in high heels, “Aubree, Mom’s here-”
“Mom, I’m playing with my friends.” Aubree lifted her little face and replied.
“These two are your friends?” The elegant woman smiled at Janessa and Theo, squatting down, “Hello, little ones!”
“Hello, Auntie!”
The two children could feel her kindness and greeted her politely.
“Aubree has always been a bit naughty and causing trouble at school for you. You are good friends, so please take care of her more in the future.”
“No, no, Aubree is the kindest friend we’ve ever met!”
Janessa’s face was full of sincerity.
Seeing her earnest look, Riya Shannon smiled and gently pinched her cheek, “So adorable.”
Mrs. Rosario interjected, “This lady, these two children are not from good families. Are you not afraid that your child will be influenced by them?”
“Their mother is an unmarried woman of loose morals,” she said acerbically, “Don’t blame us for not warning you when the time comes.”
Riya turned back, saying lightly, “I have always trusted my child’s judgment in making friends.”
“And also…”
“Regardless of the facts, making judgments about their mother’s character based on hearsay alone is foolish.”
“A group of adults attacking two children, don’t you find it shameful?”
“Since when does such a person have the qualifications to run an educational institution?”
Riya’s tone was calm, but carried a hint of authority, leaving Mrs. Rosario speechless.
“So glib-tongued. Anyone who speaks up for such a woman surely isn’t any good either.” Mrs. Rosario snorted coldly, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
Riya smiled, not wanting to argue with such a person.
“Mr. Finch is here!”
Someone shouted.
Soon, a vigorous and imposing man appeared before everyone.
Ruben Finch, with the highest status in this class, had founded a cosmetics company and amassed a fortune in a few years.
“Mr. Finch!”
“Mr. Finch!”
Seeing him, everyone greeted him warmly, including the previously boastful and arrogant Mrs. Rosario.
Ruben just nodded lightly, smiling as he walked towards Riya, “Ms. Shannon, hello! I didn’t expect to meet you here, Ms. Shannon!”
He was very humble and respectful.
Others looked surprised.
Why was this seemingly low-profile woman receiving such respect from Ruben?
“Mr. Finch.” Riya smiled and shook his hand, “What a coincidence.”
Ruben chuckled, “Haha, yes, Ms. Shannon, it’s fate. My small business still relies on you, Ms. Shannon.”
“Mr. Finch, you’re really joking. I can’t help someone like you, a big boss.”
Mrs. Rosario was stunned!
Mr. Finch was someone they wanted to curry favor with, and he couldn’t care less about them… But now he was being so polite to this woman?
And she, just moments ago, had been disrespectful to her!
She nervously approached, “Ms. Shannon, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you earlier, let me apologize…”
“I don’t need it.”
Riya looked coldly at her, “You don’t even have the qualification to apologize to me.”
At that moment, Mrs. Rosario’s face showed embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to hide in, feeling extremely embarrassed.
“What’s the big deal about having some money? Why show off?” She snorted coldly and walked away.
Meanwhile, a young couple also walked over.
“Janessa, Theo-” Charlotte spotted the two children from afar.
“Mom!”
Seeing their beloved parents, Janessa and Theo immediately jumped off their chairs, unable to hide their joy!
Others looked at Charlotte and Quentin with curious eyes.
