Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Really Wish Wyndham Howell Was His Dad
Translator: 549690339
“This…”
Lulu Kennedy was extremely nervous. When Rhiannon made a phone call without turning on the speaker, Lulu couldn’t hear what was said, but she heard Rhiannon defaming Tobias’s handsome uncle and repeatedly apologizing.
She Imew that in this day and age, justice couldn’t triumph over power.
What if Rhiannon’s uncle really forced their kindergarten to close down?
She was nervous, and Tobias was also very nervous.
Although Tobias was young, he understood a lot. He knew that there were many bad people in the world who were rich and powerful, and they particularly loved to bully others. For example, his grandpa loved to bully the women in his family. He quietly clenched his fists, having made up his mind that if Rhiannon really made it impossible for their teacher and Uncle Baron to save face, he would apologize to Lucas!
After all, he was only five years old, and no matter how much he understood, he was still a child. Children always cared about their dignity, and Tobias was no exception.
Whenever he thought of apologizing to Lucas, he felt particularly uncomfortable in his heart. It felt as if a large stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
If only he had a father at this moment…
He would have someone to protect him, to protect the women in his family.
Wyndham Howell’s image appeared in Tobias’ mind.
Uncle Wyndham was a doctor and, judging by his temperament, surely had plenty of connections. If Uncle Wyndham became his father, he would certainly be able to protect him and the women in his family, as well as Ms. Lulu at this moment.
Never before had Tobias wished so much that his father was Wyndham Howell, rather than a heartless man who shirked responsibility.
“Well…” Rhiannon contemplated for a long time, feeling as if her face was burning hot, as if someone had slapped her in public. Her cheek stung with a burning pain. She felt humiliated, but fortunately, her heavy foundation covered her red-as-a-monkey-butt cheeks, or else she would’ve looked even more ridiculous.
Baron Lawrence stood with his hands in his pockets, watching her coldly as he waited for her to continue.
His tall and burly figure made Rhiannon feel suffocated!
In the quiet office, Rhiannon suddenly bent down at a 90-degree angle and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
What?
Lulu Kennedy, Tobias, and even Lucas, who was still sobbing, couldn’t believe their eyes when they looked at Rhiannon.
Especially Lucas, who had been acting like a little devil. Seeing his mother not seeking justice for him but apologizing to others, he immediately jumped up and yelled, “Mom!”
Rhiannon felt extremely humiliated but didn’t dare to raise her head.
Third Uncle was too ruthless, and she had no choice.
Baron Lawrence’s face showed no emotion, and his thin lips lightly opened, “I can’t hear.”
These three words were chilling to the core!
Rhiannon usually relied on her family connections, and wherever she went, she was domineering. Her husband was afraid of her, and she had the final say in everything, which formed her overbearing character. Otherwise, Lucas wouldn’t have learned her ways so well. She suddenly raised her head, almost wanting to throw a tantrum, but when she thought of her uncle’s warning just now, she relented like a monkey trapped under the Fingercrest Mountain.
“I’m sorry.”
“I can’t hear.”
The foundation on Rhiannon’s face was about to crack. In front of her son, she felt so humiliated, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide in it. She raised her voice and said again, “I’m sorry!”
This time, Baron Lawrence finally showed some reaction. He glanced at her coldly, “I don’t like to say the same thing three times..”
