The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce Chapter 146 – Son, Apologize

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Son, Apologize

In front of everyone, Lily Lambert failed to control her emotions.

She never expected that Mr. Harrison would expel her child from the school.

Mr. Harrison felt bitter inside, but dared not show it on his face. The call he had just received came from the headmaster telling him to keep Bailey Gallagher and expel Arthur Leaford. With so many people present, he didn’t dare even ask why.

“I’m sorry, Arthur’s Mom, this decision wasn’t up to me, a mere staff member.

If you have any issues, please take them up with our headmaster.”

Mr. Harrison’s statement caused a stir among the crowd.

So, it was the headmaster who made the call to expel Arthur; this meant directly offending the Leaford family!

The crowd looked at Molly with fear.

Who was she exactly, with a background even more powerful than the Leafords?

Molly was also a little stunned upon hearing what Mr. Harrison said. Her brother had mentioned that the Thompson family had invested in all the schools in Sunnydale City. She had sent a text message only hoping her brother would look out for Bailey, but from the look of the situation, could she have overstepped?

“This is impossible!” When she heard her own son was being expelled, Lily Lambert let out an enraged howl, quickly transforming from a well-mannered lady into a protesting screecher.

She marched up to Mr. Harrison, and said in a stern voice, “Call your headmaster. I want to ask him directly if he wishes to close down this kindergarten!”

In today’s world where competitive parenting is a trend, her child who wasn’t blessed with high intelligence could only get by through hard work. This kindergarten, with its top-notch facilities and teaching staff in Sunnydale, was the best choice. Unless they switched cities, there was no better kindergarten, and being expelled from even a kindergarten was not only a disgrace to Arthur but also to the entire Leaford family.

“It seems like you don’t want our investment, or are you intending to become enemies with the Leaford family?”

Lily Lambert’s face darkened with seething rage, her suppressed voice fuming with repressed fury.

She cast a malicious glance at Molly; it was Molly who sent some kind of message on her cellphone just earlier, right before Mr. Harrison changed his tune. Even a fool could have guessed who was behind all this.

Mr. Harrison managed a stiff smile at Lily Lambert, “I’m really sorry, Arthur’s Mom, but this matter truly isn’t under my control, there really isn’t anything I can do.”

After he finished, he glanced meaningfully at Molly.

He was also very curious about the relationship between this woman and the headmaster, who had specifically reminded him to tread carefully with Molly.

When Lily Lambert noticed his insinuations, she was so angry she was shaking.

There and then, she called her husband, “Honey, your son has been expelled.

The kindergarten said they would refund our sponsorship money.” “What? Expelled?”

“Yeah, your son has no school now. Can you handle this?” Lily Lambert embellished her complaint a bit. Her husband held considerable influence in the Leaford family, and if he got upset, the whole school would be in trouble.

“You have to talk to Jake, tell him his nephew got hit by someone else. Our Arthur was only defending himself and in the end being recommended by the school to withdraw. If this isn’t handled well, it will not only be our face that is lost, but also the face of the entire Leaford family.”

Upon hearing this, Jake Leaford was seething with fury. He suppressed his rage and said, “You hold them there. Don’t let them leave. I’ll contact Jake right away.”

“Okay.” Lily Lambert hung up the phone, satisfied.

She looked triumphantly at Molly and said coldly, “If you dare, don’t leave. Let’s see who’s stronger, you or me.”

Actually, she was a bit deterred by now, but in front of so many people, she just couldn’t back down.

She had to save her face even if she had to do so with all her might.

On the other side, Jake Leaford had just received a call from his cousin.

“Jake, Arthur was hit by someone. The other kid started it. Arthur is still young, he can’t be expelled!”

Jake Leaford raised his eyebrows. His nephew Arthur had always been spoilt and turned into a weak, overweight bully. Hearing Jake Leaford’s words, it seemed like Arthur had finally met his match this time.

“Did the other party really strike first?”

Jake Leaford hastily said, “Why would I lie to you? Arthur was only talking, and the other kid hit him. There were many witnesses around.”

Jake Leaford didn’t wholly trust Jake Leaford’s words.

The family had invested a hefty amount into this kindergarten for Arthur’s sake. Normally, the kindergarten would have given them at least some face. And now they were directly asking for Arthur to be expelled; this seemed too simple.

“Whose child was the opponent?”

Jake Leaford was stunned, “Your sister-in-law didn’t say.”

He paused, then asked again, “Jake, are you implying that the other party is more powerful than our family?”

This made Jake Leaford frown, “What are you saying? In Sunnydale, there are still the Thompson and Gallagher families above us, it’s not our Leaford family’s turn to rule.”

Jake Leaford suddenly remembered that Bailey Gallagher was also in this kindergarten.

What a coincidence! Could it be that Arthur’s opponent was Bailey?

Jake Leaford quickly had his assistant call the school. After an enquiry, it turned out to be Bailey indeed.

Jake Leaford’s head was throbbing.

Thank goodness he had a good relationship with Michael Gallagher. They could meet up and apologise, and that should resolve the issue.

After thinking for a while, Jake Leaford decided to give Michael Gallagher a call.

At the front gates of Sunnydale Star Kindergarten, the crowd gradually dispersed leaving behind a few curious onlookers waiting for the results.

Lily Lambert blocked Molly Walker from leaving all along.

At that moment, her cell phone rang.

“Hello, husband…” After Lily Lambert listened to the call, her gentle face immediately darkened. “Husband… What are you talking about? Why should we apologize?! Are you out of your mind? Why should we apologize when our son was the one who got hit?”

“If you don’t apologize, at least let Arthur apologize to Bailey Gallagher. He’s from the Gallagher family. The two of you are a real nuisance. Of all people, why would you offend someone from the Gallagher family?”

Lily Lambert bit her lower lip, shaking in anger.

“Isn’t he just the bastard child of the slut Isabelle Richardson? How is that related to the Gallagher family? Michael Gallagher hasn’t even admitted..

“Shut up!” Jake Leaford angrily interrupted her, though Michael Gallagher hadn’t admitted it, Father had said that the entire Gallagher family will belong to Bailey in the future.

Jake Leaford took a deep breath and advised coldly: “Go apologize. Don’t be wilful. The Leaford family depends on the Gallagher family for survival, we can’t afford to offend them. Maybe if you apologize, Arthur can still continue studying at the kindergarten, otherwise, you’ll be the one responsible for ruining his future.”

Having said that, Jake Leaford decisively hung up the phone.

Lily Lambert gripped her cell phone, the edge of her eyes reddening from anger.

She pulled Arthur over to Bailey and Molly Walker, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out the words “I’m sorry” through gritted teeth.

Molly Walker smirked and pushed Bailey towards them: “Say it to him.”

Lily Lambert’s face changed. She had no choice but to push Arthur: “Son, apologize.”

Arthur was already shocked that his mom apologized, now hearing that she wanted him to apologize shook his little world even more.

“Mommy, I won’t apologize…’

With a “whack” sound, Lily Lambert slapped him and said coldly, “Don’t embarrass yourself here, hurry up and apologize so we can go home!”

Arthur pouted his lips, couldn’t hold it in anymore, and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably: “I…I’m sorry…”

His voice was intermittent and he was howling at the sky. Anyone who didn’t know would think he was apologizing to the sky.

Seeing Arthur apologize, Bailey’s nose tingled. He had been bullied by Arthur a lot these days, finally he could hold his head high.

He looked at Molly Walker, his lower lip trembling and his eyes red.

It’s this woman who helped him again…

His mom said she’s a bad person, but she had helped him several times, and that’s not how bad people behave.

On the contrary, his mom seemed more like the bad person.

Thinking of the scene where Isabelle Richardson was about to throw a vase at someone, Bailey shuddered.

Lily Lambert dragged Arthur away, shooting Molly Walker an evil glare before leaving.

She apologized to Bailey because of the Gallagher family, but who was this woman?

If she can’t get revenge on Bailey, can’t she get revenge on other people?

Lily Lambert’s hatred was raging as she wrote down Molly Walker’s name in her little notebook.

Seeing them leave, Molly Walker patted Bailey’s shoulder and quietly said, “Go to school, nobody will bully you anymore.”

“Why do you help me?” Bailey looked at her timidly. “Do you not hate me?” Molly Walker smirked, so this brat knew he was disliked!

“Maybe I thought that you were still redeemable.” Thinking of the scene when he apologized to her at the hospital, she guessed that Bailey hadn’t been completely corrupted by Isabelle Richardson.

Bailey’s eyes lit up as he asked excitedly, “What does it mean to be redeemable? Does studying hard count?”

Molly Walker thought for a while, whispering, “Not lying, not doing anything immoral, trying to be kind, be someone who contributes to society.”

After saying it, Molly Walker realized these words might be too profound for this five-year-old child.

However, despite his young age, Bailey was mature for his age, he understood everything she said.

He knew his mom wasn’t kind, she did a lot of immoral things.

“Arthur said my mom sleeps with other people. Was he telling the truth? My mom is a bad person!”

Bailey’s words left Molly Walker speechless.

Admitting that one’s biological parents are bad is something extremely cruel, almost akin to killing one’s family for justice.

But she had to admit, she didn’t want to lie for Isabelle Richardson against her conscience.

She thought for a while and explained, “Your dad is a good man.”

“Then I want to become a good man like my dad!” Bailey seemed to have found his life’s goal. Full of enthusiasm, he walked towards the school with his backpack on, after a few steps he turned back and waved at Molly Walker, “Molly, can you come pick me up tonight? I have a secret to tell you!”

He decided to turn over a new leaf and become a good man.

He wanted to tell her that the injury on the girl named Amanda Leaford was not an accident, but caused by someone.

The culprit was Isabelle Richardson.

His beloved mom..
