Chapter 700 Run Into Him.
"Baby, for malicious people, your explanations are useless. The more you get angry and cry, the happier and more satisfied they become. So when you meet someone like that, you don't need to waste your energy explaining. Just turn the problem back to them, like asking them why they smell bad or if they're sick or stepped on something dirty."
"You just need to shift the attention of the people around you onto that person."
Originally, these words from her Mommy were still a bit unclear to young Chicago.
Based on the education Chicago received since childhood, she wouldn't say anything, even if the other person smelled really bad, out of politeness.
But when that boy insulted her mommy, Chicago immediately felt that politeness needed to be reciprocated.
And so, Chicago used the method her mommy taught her.
Unexpectedly, it worked very well.
"That's good." Charlotte sighed in relief.
Just then, Xavier arrived as well.
"Miss, why did you come down by yourself?" Xavier nervously took Chicago's backpack. "Did someone bully you?"
"No," Chicago winked at the friends beside her.
The friends didn't say anything.
Xavier immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, let's go outside quickly."
Chicago nodded and instinctively glanced around.
This was the first time since starting school that Chicago didn't have her dad come to pick her up.
Her heart felt a bit sour, and her eyes started to well up.
Outside the school gate, Chicago immediately saw Janna with silver hair.
Her gloomy mood lifted a little.
"Janna!" she shouted, running toward Janna.
Then, she embraced Janna tightly.
Janna laughed. "Are you surprised or not?"
"Yeah!"
When Chicago started school, Janna had been abroad all this time. It was her first time to pick her up.
Christopher stood behind Janna, prepared and waiting for Charlotte to rush into his arms. However, Charlotte calmly approached them, and Janna patted her head. "Little Charlotte, are you getting used to your first day of school?"
"It's all right," Charlotte replied.
In reality, Charlotte wasn't very used to it.
It was fine during class, but everything around her was too noisy during recess.
Christopher didn't get the hug he expected from his daughter. Frustrated, he took her backpack from her.
Little did he know, Charlotte asked, "Why didn't you be with Fiona? Did you skip work?"
"Today is your first day of school, and Fiona asked him to come pick you up," Janna explained to Christopher.
Charlotte didn't understand why someone needed to come pick her up on her first day of school, but since Fiona ordered it, there must have been a reason behind it.
Charlotte didn't question further and obediently got into the car. A group of people went to pick up Charles.
Usually, Darwin and Fiona would pick up Charles first and then come over to pick up Chicago.
However, this morning, before they left, Charles specifically told them to go pick up her sister first, as he would practice some additional math problems with his classmates.
On the way there, Chicago chatted non-stop and told Janna a lot of interesting things about school.
However, no word was mentioned about the trouble caused by the bad kids. When they arrived at Charles' location, he was already waiting at the school gate. Frank Cruz and a few classmates stood beside Charles, talking animatedly. Charles' expression remained indifferent.
Upon seeing the car, Charles said something to his friends and then walked in their direction.
After getting in the car, Charles saw his sister still happy. His expression relaxed a bit, and, as usual, he asked her about her daily studies. All three children were picked up. Janna called Laura to ask about Fiona's progress at work. Learning that Fiona was still in an international conference and probably wouldn't be back for dinner, Janna decided not to go home. Instead, she took the three children to a restaurant for dinner.
It was ironic. Just as they arrived at the restaurant, Janna was recognized. "Grandma Rhoads," a young and handsome mixed-race man approached Janna with a smile.
Janna recognized him. Harold, the new president of Teodora Group. "Mr. Klein, I've heard so much about you," Janna kindly greeted.
Janna had heard Thalassa mention Harold before. At that time, Harold had just won a fierce battle for inheritance and became the actual controlling shareholder of the Teodora Group. Janna and Thalassa watched the financial news broadcast together.
Harold was truly handsome, with eyes like gemstones. Janna became interested in making Harold her grandson-in-law.
Thalassa regretfully said, "Harold is not suitable. He previously pursued Fiona, but she wasn't interested in him."
Janna immediately went to find Fiona and asked about this matter. Fiona roughly explained their situation, including how Harold risked his life to save her and her child.
As a result, Janna had a very favorable impression of Harold. Over the years, Janna has spent a lot of time on customizations at the Teodora Group.
Harold looked at the twins beside Janna, his eyes shining. Janna noticed his gaze and proactively said, "Mr. Klein, have you eaten yet? Why don't you join us?"
"Can I?" Harold was extremely surprised.
A while later, inside a private room, Janna and Harold had a delightful conversation. As they talked, they mentioned the incident when Fiona almost met with danger in New Port.
"Without Mr. Klein's help, I couldn’t have reunited with my granddaughter." Janna felt frightened just thinking about it.
"You're too kind, Madam. It's something I should do," Harold said. The two children immediately had a great impression of him upon hearing that he had saved their mother's life.
"I remember now!" Chicago slapped her forehead. "Mommy said before that my brother and I have a godfather who saved Mommy and us from a car about to explode. Is it Mr. Klein?"
Harold hadn't realized that Fiona had mentioned him to the children. His eyes immediately teared up, and he nodded gently at Chicago, saying, "Yes."
Chicago's beautiful eyes immediately brightened. "Thank you, Mr. Klein!"
"You're welcome, Chicago," Harold replied tenderly. Janna couldn't help but laugh at the adorable conversation between the two. Fiona finished her work and hastily made her way over.
When she arrived, she saw Chicago playing games with Harold in the lobby.
"Mommy!" Chicago immediately ran over joyfully upon seeing Fiona. Fiona's fatigue vanished from her face. She smiled and lowered her gaze, hugging her daughter tightly. "Have you had dinner?" Chicago asked softly.
"Yes." Fiona touched her cheek and saw Harold approaching. "Destiny can’t wait to arrange our meeting."
Harold smiled. "Fate, perhaps?"
"Mommy, Mr. Klein can also paint; the gems he paints are especially beautiful!" Chicago exclaimed.
"Really?" Fiona shifted her gaze. "Mr. Klein is a talented jewelry designer. Uncle Harold designed the set of diamond butterflies that Grandma bought for you." "
