The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1748

The couple was a little speechless after hearing Corinne's retort and could only exchange glances with each other. The man, however, appeared unwilling to come to terms with the truth. He clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth, saying, "Whatever the reasons were, your son beat up my son. He needs to apologize and take responsibility for that. If he doesn't do so, I'll make sure he'll be expelled from this kindergarten, and I swear I'll make it difficult for you to survive here in the city."

The distressed mother caressed Matt's bruised nose and swollen eyes, adding, "That's right! My son has never experienced this sort of injustice. And besides, he was just being a little mischievous when he teased his female classmate. What gives you your son the right to be nosy?"

The principal was caught in a dilemma and felt that the couple was being unreasonable. However, he was hesitant to offend them because they came from a rather influential and affluent background. Corinne, on the other hand, was at a disadvantage against them because she was a single mother raising three children.

In an attempt to defuse the situation, the principal persuaded the couple to calm down and discreetly pulled Corinne to one side. "Ma'am, I can tell that Joey is a kind boy, and whatever happened today isn't his fault at all. Unfortunately, Matt's parents are very influential, and I don't want you to be put in a difficult situation when it's already very challenging to raise three children on your own. Please consider apologizing to them, if only for appearances' sake. It'll help to avoid any further complications."

Corine narrowed her eyes at the suggestion of a compromise. She understood the principal's intentions, but she felt a sense of contempt for him nonetheless. "Why should I ask my son to apologize when he's done nothing wrong? Principal, I didn't enroll my child here to become a coward, much less make concessions when he was not guilty. With the way things have turned out, they don't even need to force me into transferring him to another kindergarten. I'm already considering that as we speak."

The principal was left speechless.

Matt's father became even more enraged at Corinne's refusal to yield, and his arrogance got the better of him as he threatened, "Transferring your child to another kindergarten isn't going to settle this! If your son doesn't kneel and apologize, I'll make life difficult for you in this city, and even the entire country! It'll be too late for you to cry and beg me for my forgiveness!"

"Mommy!" Christine asked, "Why are you picking us up so early today? Aren't you supposed to come in the afternoon?"

Bryan then added, "Yeah! Is today a special day? Oh, it must be a holiday! Are you taking us out to play?"

Corinne gently knocked Bryan on the head and said, "All you think about is playing!"
