Some parents used to hear from their children about how amazing Timmy Lewis and his two siblings were, but they thought the kids were exaggerating.
Now that they’ve seen for themselves the skills of the two brothers and their mother, they realize that their children weren’t exaggerating at all.
Timmy, Timothy, and Richelle Dunn were called to the stage by the principal to receive some impromptu awards.
Afterward, Timothy raised his chin towards Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby.
“Ladies, I hope you keep your word.”
The teachers, students, and parents at the venue were all taken aback for a moment.
Soon, everyone realized that this competition was not a simple game for lightening the mood.
Seeing the two women sitting motionless on the stage, Timmy also urged them.
“Ladies, I hope you can set an example for your children by taking responsibility for your actions.”
Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby found themselves between a rock and a hard place.
Finally, under the urging of Timothy and Timmy, they lowered their heads and went up to the podium together.
Timothy passed the microphone to them.
At this moment, the smile on his face was gone.
Instead, he pursed his lips, and along with his brother Timmy, stood with a cold and stern expression on the stage.
It took a while for Mrs. Kingston to speak.
“I’m very sorry for the extreme and offensive words I said to Mrs. Lewis earlier, due to my personal prejudice. I sincerely apologize to her.”
Mrs. Kirby also took the microphone and said.
“I feel extremely sorry for my recklessness and prejudice. Mrs. Lewis, I’m sorry. What I said earlier was just my personal conjecture. I will take full responsibility for my rash words.”
The two parents sounded sincere, although their faces showed some reluctance.
There was an uproar from the audience.
“My God, what kind of outrageous words did these two parents say to Mrs. Lewis?”
“It seems that the main purpose of the two children proposing the competition was not for entertainment, but to seek justice for their mother.”
“Can I have a set of such smart, witty, and manly children, please?”
“However, the two brothers are adorable. Actually, they must have known that their mother didn’t need their help.”
“You can’t compare the two. Standing up despite knowing their help isn’t needed means that they are truly responsible and love their mother.”
“Sigh… I’m so envious. To have such angel-like children, and in pairs, too!”
Everyone’s comments expressed envy and unequivocally sided with Richelle and her children.
However, after receiving apologies from the two parents, Richelle didn’t act like a saint by forgiving them on the spot.
Instead, she took the microphone and spoke a few simple words.
“I believe that the parents here can guess the whole story.”
“As a parent of three children, I hope that they can learn and grow in a pure environment at school, rather than in an environment tainted by the slander and defamation of some parents.”
“As people who have been adults for a long time, our childhood is far behind us. But we have both the responsibility and obligation to create a beautiful childhood for our children.”
“So, as their mother, I will not accept their apologies and won’t forgive them. A casual apology cannot heal the damage that has already been done. My children are my treasures. No one can blame them for their own prejudices or groundless conjectures!”
With that, Richelle finished speaking, handed the microphone back to the teacher, and left the stage with Timmy and Timothy.
From below the stage, someone started to clap.
Then, the applause spread like thunder.
Richelle walked down the stage with her two sons, and Tifanny was the first to throw herself into their embrace.
“Mommy, you guys are so cool!”
Richelle patted her head, “Mmm, Tifanny is also cool!”
Tifanny pouted, “Mommy, you and I are princesses.”
However, she quickly smiled again.
“But if Daddy, Mommy, and my brothers need me, I can also be cool and powerful!”
The little girl was well aware of her pampered status at home.
The family of four remained in a warm embrace downstage, leaving Mrs. Kingston and Mrs. Kirby to make their shameful exits from the stage amidst the condemnation and disdainful glares of the audience.
Almost simultaneously, news of Richelle and her children’s encounter at school reached Roy Lewis.
“Master Lewis, should we talk to the principal about this…”
Roy interrupted the bodyguard, “No need, it’s a small matter that Richelle and the children can handle.”
However, he quickly had someone investigate the backgrounds of the two students’ families.
The next morning, the companies of both students’ fathers suffered a business loss of several million each.
When they tried to appeal to their partners, they received only one response.
“This is the price you pay for your wife’s shortsightedness!”
Roy didn’t mention any of this to Richelle or their children.
As a busy person, Richelle didn’t think much about it after the event.
However, within two days, a post appeared on the Abbey University forum.
The title read, “Some elitists, who seem righteous on the surface, are nothing more than oppressive capitalists in reality..”
