When Kimberly and Olivia arrived, they could not help but become enraged when they saw Brody’s

parents acting arrogantly.

It was natural for parents to be protective of their children.

Candice had her older brothers, Dexter and Sebastian, by her side all the time, which made her

confident and fearless. There was no doubt that she undoubtedly inherited the Larson family genes.

Despite her bravery, she was still just a child.

As soon as she saw her mother arriving, she rushed into Kimberly’s arms and started crying.

Because the teacher was unaware of Kimberly’s identity, she followed the kindergarten’s procedures.

The commotion immediately drew the attention of Marcellus.

When he arrived, he realized it involved one of the school’s major financial supporters, Kimberly, and

that Kimberly’s child had been mistreated at the school.

Marcellus was at a loss. “What should I do?” he muttered to himself anxiously.

Then, his voice grew louder when he addressed the teacher, asking, “What happened? What is the

deal with all the trouble on the first day of school?”

The teacher, unsure why Marcellus was so upset, was at a loss for words and mused, ‘A little play

fighting between children is normal. What is causing him to be so agitated?”

Even though she thought so, she did not dare to respond so bluntly,

She respectfully recounted the whole incident in detail. “Mr. Barnes, here’s what happened. These two

children got into a conflict due to a verbal dispute, and it eventually escalated into a fight.”

Marcellus, recognizing Candice, expressed disbelief, saying, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? She’s

such a small girl, and you’re telling me that she bullied him?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

After that, he pointed to Brody, who was both taller and chubbier than Candice.

His family had overindulged him, and as a result, he was arrogant. He was also obese.

Despite the fact that he clearly lost the fight, Brody made a dissatisfied sound and refused to admit it,

saying, “She only won because I let her win. If you do not believe me, we can have another fight.”

Seeing that their son was acting so rudely in front of Marcellus, Brody’s parents became

anxious.

Nonetheless, they were ignorant of Kimberly’s true capabilities and had no idea that they’d provoked a

big shot.

Those who were able to attend that kindergarten were typically from affluent families.

Brody’s family was too high-profile and arrogant, thinking highly of themselves.

Even with Marcellus trying hard to control the situation from the sidelines, it was of no

avail.

Initially, Marcellus considered trying to appease Candice into letting it go as a way to assist Brody’s

family.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t appreciate it at all and even pointed fingers at Marcellus, saying, “What kind

of principal are you? Mr. Barnes, it’s clear you’re playing favorites.”

Kimberly couldn’t stand it any longer, so she handed Candice over to Olivia.

Kimberly did not want Candice to see what was about to happen next. She was. genuinely concerned

that Candice would refuse to attend school the next day due to the commotion.

Marcellus immediately understood the situation and brought Kimberly and Brody’s parents to his office.

Kimberly remained calm as she attempted to reach an agreement. “Hello, I’m Candice’s mother. How

do you plan to resolve this matter?”

Kimberly did not want to make a big deal out of it in the first place. Because her children would still

need to attend kindergarten in the future, she intended to reduce. major issues to minor ones.

Regardless, she never expected to meet such an unreasonable parent on the first day of school.

“How do we want to resolve this? We are not short on cash, so we do not need any compensation,”

Brody’s parents boasted to Kimberly in high spirits.

Kimberly suppressed her disdain and anger as she observed the other party’s ostentatious demeanor.

“Well then, what kind of compensation are you looking for?” she asked.

When the other party heard Kimberly’s words, they assumed she had compromised and secretly

reveled in their own display of power.

“I want your daughter to publicly apologize to my son in front of the entire school!” Brody’s father,

Patrick Zackery, spoke with arrogance, enunciating his demand word for word.

When he mentioned Candice, he even pointed arrogantly at Kimberly with his finger.

Kimberly had been through a variety of situations over the years.

Of course, she would not engage in a public brawl with the opposing party because doing so would

damage her own reputation.

She remained composed and calmly said, “Mister, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? The

teacher and the surveillance footage have confirmed that your son was at fault in this matter. Don’t you

think your demand is excessive?”

By doing so, Kimberly was giving the other party one last chance to settle the dispute. amicably.

She had not expected to deal with someone so obstinate, someone who was not afraid of any

consequences and seemed eager to escalate the situation, oblivious to how bad things were going to

get in just a few moments.

Brody’s father, Patrick, clearly lost his patience. He appeared visibly impatient and issued a command

to Marcellus, saying, “Mr. Barnes, I’ll make things clear now. If she doesn’t offer a public apology, I

won’t let this matter rest.”

“Either she makes a public apology or she withdraws from school!” he said, raising his hairy finger.

For Kimberly, the idea of forcing Candice to drop out of school was the final straw. She couldn’t bear it

any longer.

She ignored Brody’s father, refusing to engage with his unreasonable demands.

anymore.

Instead, Kimberly turned to Marcellus and asked, “Is this student’s parent from Zackery Materials

Corporation?”

Before Marcellus could respond, Brody’s father interjected, “What does it matter if I’m from Zackery

Materials Corporation or Lewis Materials Corporation?”

With that, he proudly revealed his influence. “Yes, I’m from Zackery Materials. Corporation. Do you

know that we’re the exclusive distributor of Larson Corporation’s products?”

Hearing that, Kimberly concluded that Larson Corporation needed to go through another round of

restructuring. ‘How can such a rude person become the exclusive

distributor for Larson Corporation’s products? I suppose it is time for me to show my trump card and

silence them in an instant.’

Thinking about that, she reached for her phone and called her trusted aide, Frederick. “Terminate all

cooperation with Zackery Materials Corporation immediately!” she instructed.

Kimberly displayed a decisiveness and ruthlessness reminiscent of Christopher at that moment, issuing

immediate and firm orders to resolve the issue immediately.

When Brody heard that, his attitude shifted from arrogance to bewilderment. He continued to struggle

and exclaimed, “Who do you think you are? Terminating all cooperation with Zackery Materials

Corporation? Are you insane?”

However, Frederick’s efficiency was remarkable..

Just as Brody’s father insulted Kimberly by calling her insane, he received a call from Larson

Corporation..

The next second, he shifted from his arrogant demeanor to one of deference, answering the call with a

subservient tone. Kimberly wanted to regurgitate the prawns she had just eaten as she looked at his

expression while he spoke on the phone.

In less than 20 seconds, he began shouting into the phone. But the other end of the line had already

disconnected, denying him the opportunity to beg forgiveness.

It was at that moment that he finally realized that he had offended a big shot.

In the meantime, Kimberly turned and briskly walked away.

She had never been one to enjoy spectacles.

With the termination of Larson Corporation’s business with Zackery Materials Corporation, the latter

was effectively on the verge of bankruptcy.

She was certain that his son would not be able to attend that kindergarten anymore.

With the matter resolved, she decided to leave, but not before comforting her daughter, Candice.

After Patrick finally realized his grave mistake and considered going after Kimberly, he was stopped by

a security guard.

Left with no choice, he had to seek Marcellus’ help.

He collapsed to the ground, losing his previous arrogance, and grabbed Marcellus’ sleeve with

desperation. “Mr. Barnes, please put in a good word for me. It is entirely my fault for offending someone

I should not have.”

However, Marcellus only gave the pitiful middle-aged man a meaningful look before yanking his hand

away.

With a deep sigh, he went out of his office.
