Chapter 21 Apologize or let the police handle the matter
"Wuwuwu, grandma, it was that mute girl, the mute girl bullied me!"
As soon as Jerry saw his grandmother, he instantly gained confidence and started complaining.
May looked up and saw Angela standing behind Owen, her face filled with indifference and hostility.
Her anger flared up instantly. This wild child was not a first-time offender.
She bullied her grandson! She angrily rushed over, reaching out to grab Angela's ear.
Owen, on the other hand, pushed her away: "I was the one who hit him. What, you want to hit back?"
He was only four years old and not very tall, but his presence was towering at 1.8 meters.
He stared with a pair of eyes, those sharp eyes were just like Ivan's, and it left the May dumbfounded.
"Grandma, it was him who had someone throw us into the flower bed!" Jerry cried out loudly.
The other children also chimed in, "Yes, it was him. His bodyguard threw all of us into the flower bed."
"He even had someone throw a clump of mud into my mouth! Wah wah wah, Mom, you must help me get revenge!" The group of children began to complain.
The parents of the children were going crazy. The ones who came to the Martínez family for the dinner were all influential and prestigious families, and these children were their pride and joy. But now, their pride and joy were all battered and bruised, with blood stains on their faces and bodies...
"Mrs. Martínez, I don't care who this child is, he must pay the price today!" Mrs. Varley said angrily, "Dare to lay a hand on my Varley family's child, I will return it back tenfold!" "These two children cannot be let off!" she said with rage, "And this bodyguard should also be arrested!"
May was delighted to see everyone united in condemnation. She did not intentionally make things difficult for this little wild seed, but it was his own fault for offending so many people.
May was about to call for the bodyguard to come over.
Suddenly! A wave of cold air swept over.
Immediately after, Ivan's figure appeared in the backyard. He had his hands in his pockets, emanating a cold aura, and his icy gaze slowly swept over Owen.
Owen trembled in fear but still stood in front of Angela, gritting his teeth...
"Mr. Winston, why are you here?" May, as the host, proactively asked.
Ivan coldly responded, "Ten minutes ago, I was on the balcony getting some fresh air, and I happened to see a few children quarreling. Four or five of them were injured and bleeding. We should call the police."
Lady Wang gritted her teeth, "Mr. Winston is right, we must call the police. Such strong aggression at such a young age, we must let the police educate them for a few days before releasing them."
"Since the ladies don't object, then this matter is settled." Ivan clapped lightly, "Send the Varley family's children, the Miller family's children... to the police station, and inform the chief that they should be held for three months before releasing them.
When he said this, the entire audience was amazed.
May immediately interjected, "Mr. Winston, are you mistaken? These two children of unknown origin should be the ones to be locked up!"
"These two children were just acting in self-defense, what did they do wrong?" Ivan's voice was full of coldness.
"On the contrary, it was the Miller family's little boy who bullied a little girl by outnumbering her. Who do you think should be put away for education?"
His words left everyone dumbfounded.
They knew very well themselves that their own grandchildren were always causing trouble and bullying others.
Now they were collaborating to bully a little girl, which was not impossible.
But, so what if they bullied her?
Their family was so big, can't they allow their own grandchildren to bully a little girl of unknown origin?
Several wealthy ladies gritted their teeth in hatred.
But it was Ivan, and they dared not say a word.
Ivan glanced at his wrist and said, "There are ten minutes left, the police should be coming soon."
The wealthy ladies panicked, they couldn't let their grandchildren go to jail, if this got out, it would bring shame to the family.
Ivan stood tall and imposing.
Wearing a black suit, he stood in the courtyard, surrounded by a chilling aura.
It was only early spring, but everyone present suddenly felt like it was the dead of winter. Some timid children had pale faces from fright.
Ivan's demeanor was enough to prove that his earlier words were not a joke.
The police would really come, and they would really arrest these children...
Their family background was indeed at the top of the pyramid in Cuenca, but the Winston family was even higher.
Just with a word from Ivan, there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
The arrogant wealthy ladies clenched their teeth tightly. Their cold gazes swept over Owen and Angela before reluctantly looking at Ivan.
"Mr. Winston, it was just children playing, there's no need to call the police, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Winston, our families have a partnership. Some things don't need to be made ugly, don't you think?"
"And my child was also injured; it's considered even now,"
Ivan sneered, "So, should we just let this matter go?"
The wealthy ladies looked at each other, forcing a smile. "So, what does Mr. Winston mean?"
"An apology," Ivan coldly replied. "Apologize to whoever was hurt."
May Martínez trembled with anger.
Ivan wanted her to apologize to that mute girl even when Jerry was injured like this? Absolutely not!
The wealthy ladies present all thought the same.
Their grandchildren were all injured like this, none of them would apologize.
Examination is over, yet they still expect the high-ranking ladies to apologize? Impossible! Several high-ranking ladies, with their faces stiff and anger suppressed.
Ivan shrugged nonchalantly, "Alright then, let the police get involved."
The word "police" directly snuffed the life out of the high-ranking ladies present. If the police were truly involved, this matter would surely become a big commotion.
Reporters would come to interview, and the image of the family corporation would undeniably be damaged.
The high-ranking ladies deliberated for a full three minutes before finally reaching a consensus.
Then, they turned their heads towards the dirt-stained Angela and said, "We're sorry."
Owen, seeing his father easily forcing the high-ranking ladies to lower their heads after just a few words, felt an immense satisfaction in his heart.
He coldly snorted, "Your voices are so low and your apologies lack sincerity."
The high-ranking ladies: "......" If only they could stuff this brat's mouth with mud! May was infuriated to the point where her insides were about to explode.
With Jerry in her arms, who was crying uncontrollably, she spoke in a cold and deliberate tone, "Angela, today's incident was your brother's fault. He shouldn't have mocked you for being mute, nor should he have laid his hands on you. I apologize on behalf of him."
Upon hearing these words, the high-ranking ladies were momentarily stunned. Madam Martínez knew this girl? May had called the young master of the Miller family her brother? Then, whose child is this girl?
With such a big commotion happening here, why hasn't anyone come to look for the child?
Ivan spoke coldly, "Since apologies have been made, let's all disperse."
Those present couldn't ask for anything more. They were freezing to the point of turning into ice cubes while being around Ivan. The high-ranking ladies hastily fled the scene while holding onto their grandsons.
May angrily glared at Angela. Finally, they were left alone.
Ivan walked step by step towards Owen.
The little guy's face instantly turned pale, and his entire body tensed up. Yesterday, he ran away from home, and his father was going to confine him for three days. He couldn't bear the punishment on top of that fear...
"What exactly happened here?" Ivan coldly asked.
Owen snorted lightly, "Didn't you just see it from the balcony?"
