From arriving in a luxury van to marching around with an entourage of bodyguards and staff, Maria’s whole display was ostentatious and arrogant. At first, people were interested in getting a photo or an autograph because she was a celebrity, but after being shooed away by her people, the charm wore off.
Everyone had seen what just happened.
“We were all focused on the competition. We didn’t see a thing.”
“The teachers were right there at the end of the row. They must have seen it.”
“I don’t know, they’re all wearing glasses. Their eyesight probably isn’t very good.”
Hearing this, Maria was furious. When she looked at the teachers, they hemmed and hawed for a moment before finally saying they hadn’t seen anything either.
Maria gritted her teeth. “So you’re all blind, is that it? Fine, stay blind!”
With that, she rushed to Penelope’s basket, intending to give her a taste of her own medicine, but she couldn’t lift it because it was too heavy.
After several attempts, she yelled for a bodyguard.
As the bodyguard approached, Penelope blocked him and turned to the teachers. “If we get into a fight, I imagine that would have an impact on your kindergarten’s reputation, wouldn’t it?”
The three teachers rushed over and blocked the bodyguard together.
“This isn’t appropriate!”
Maria’s eyes widened. “She stole our tomatoes, and that’s appropriate?”
“But… but Queena stole from them first…”
“You’re lying!”
“We all saw it.”
Humiliated, Maria furiously kicked the basket of tomatoes, then grabbed Queena and stormed off.
“What a stupid game! There are no rules! We’re not playing anymore!”
After chasing off Maria and her daughter, Julian lost interest too. Without finishing the competition, he asked Penelope to go play somewhere else.
The farm was vast, with many different kinds of crops.
