Chapter 189 Honey, you finally made it!
Harper was busy eating, her eyelashes batting delicately.
The atmosphere between her parents seemed to have improved lately, so she knew she had to help them.
With this thought in mind, Harper wiped her satisfied little mouth and hopped off the small stool.
"Daddy, tomorrow we have a parent-teacher meeting at the kindergarten. They said there will be activities, and all the parents will be there. Daddy, can you come too?"
Harper tugged at Antonio's sleeve, her eyes filled with a sense of injustice. Antonio immediately felt a pang of guilt and promptly rearranged his work schedule to accommodate Harper's request.
Sarah, witnessing his decisive action, felt a softness in her heart.
The parent-teacher meeting was scheduled for the afternoon, and Antonio promised Sarah that he would rush over right after work.
...
The next afternoon, Sarah quickly put on a light and elegant makeup before heading to the kindergarten.
As soon as she entered the classroom, Sarah noticed a group of parents surrounding a flamboyantly dressed wealthy lady, showering her with compliments.
"Where did you buy this bag? It looks fantastic with your outfit today, the flowing dress suits you so well."
One of the parents, observing the wealthy lady's attire, instantly concluded that she must be rich and influential, and sought an opportunity to strike up a conversation before the meeting started.
However, even an untrained eye could tell that although the bag might be expensive and the dress beautiful, they seemed like they were draped over the wealthy lady like wads of cash. It didn't quite enhance her appearance.
Nevertheless, who doesn't enjoy hearing nice things? The wealthy lady suddenly swelled with pride, her posture straightening.
"Well, my husband bought this limited edition bag for me in Country M. He's just someone who loves to spend money..."
She pretended to be modest while subtly lifting her chin.
"I envy you so much. You're young, beautiful, and your husband is so generous. This necklace must have been expensive too, right?"
Another parent quickly joined the conversation, not wanting to miss the chance to schmooze and followed with praise.
"Oh, this? It was a custom-made gift for my birthday a while ago, just a few tens of thousands."
The wealthy lady touched her necklace, and she seemed like an inflated balloon, almost flying up in front of everyone.
Sarah frowned slightly and didn't pay much attention, instead, she headed straight into the classroom to find Harper and the others.
However, while she might not have cared about others, their gazes couldn't help but focus on her.
She was wearing a light golden fringed long dress, and the thin belt around her waist perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. Her delicate and beautiful features made her look like a fairy who had descended to earth.
"Look, whose mom is that? She's so beautiful..."
"Just by her presence, you can tell she's not an ordinary person!"
A few people in the crowd gasped in awe!
After hearing the parents' comments, a few children turned their heads and rushed towards her.
"Mommy!"
Sarah caught the precious little ones in her arms and smiled, gently ruffling Ryan's hair.
Ryan's face lit up with joy, as all his worries from the previous day instantly vanished.
"Oh, are all three of these children yours? You're really lucky!" The person who was just complimenting the rich lady noticed this and immediately abandoned The rich lady and came over with a smile on their face.
The rich lady's smile faded when she saw that only Sarah was there, without a man accompanying her. She couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Oh, so lucky. Even though it's a parent-teacher meeting, your husband doesn't want to come, no matter how nicely you dress."
The rich lady glanced at Ryan and said, "This child doesn't even look like her, who knows if she's someone else's mistress!"
Ryan's face turned pale upon hearing the outsider's words.
"You bad woman, you're not allowed to bully Ryan, big brother!" Harper saw Ryan's unhappy expression and immediately jumped down from Sarah's arms to stand in front of him.
The rich lady, being scolded by the children, became more stern. "What are you yelling for, undisciplined wild child?"
Ryan also heard the rich lady insulting Harper and his gaze became determined. He pulled Harper behind him and comfortingly squeezed her little hand, "You're not allowed to bully my sister!"
Sarah straightened up and locked eyes with the rich lady, her gaze sharp. "You have such good manners, were you taught by your parents to criticize other people's families? You may have good manners, but you come into this classroom showing off your wealth. If this is what you call good manners, then we are truly ashamed!"
The children, clearly a loving family, along with the provocative appearance of The rich lady for the parent-teacher meeting, had already left a negative impression on most people. Hearing Sarah's words, those around them also felt it was unfair.
"Harper's mom is right. Some people are obviously here to show off and deliberately say unpleasant things when others steal the limelight."
With that, the rich lady suddenly found herself in an unfavorable situation.
Coincidentally, at that moment, a man in his thirties appeared at the door wearing a pair of metal-framed glasses, looking refined.
The rich lady immediately walked over and hooked her arm around the man's, saying, "Honey, you finally came. If you didn't, that mistress would have bullied me!"
The rich lady wiped away her tears, looking pitifully at the man, and pointed at Sarah. Her gaze hid behind the man, full of disdain, as if she was saying, "If you're not a mistress, then call your man to come and support you."
The man immediately felt a sense of protectiveness and believed that Sarah was bullying his wife.
"What's a gold digger like you pretending to be virtuous here for? Let me tell you, if you dare to bully my wife, you'll regret it in the future!"
The man threatened with a fierce momentum. Meanwhile, Sarah's gaze caught sight of a familiar figure...
"Oh? How do you plan on making her regret it?"
"Isn't it obvious? As the boss, Luan Yuan, teaching a woman a lesson is like crushing an ant..."
The man instinctively replied, but soon realized the chilling presence of death creeping up.
As he turned his head with his words, he saw Antonio's face, as if it had been immersed in an icy pool for thousands of years. He suddenly wished he could bite off his own tongue!
Recently, his company's finances have been tight. He was focused on securing the order from the Valencia family, as it was a possible lifeline. Little did he know that by standing up for his wife at the kindergarten, he would unknowingly walk right into the line of fire.
Without hesitation, he quickly approached like a gust of wind, eager to get closer.
"Mr. Valencia, what brings you here? If only I had known earlier, I would have come to pick you up..."
Antonio didn't respond and made a beeline towards Sarah.
Throughout, Antonio's eyes never lingered on the man.
His imposing figure swept past the crowd and reached the children.
"Daddy, I knew you would come!"
Harper smiled sweetly, and Antonio kissed her on the cheek, then ruffled Ryan's hair, and then...
He looked at Ethan, who stood still by the side.
In an instant, Antonio bent down and lifted his son up.
Suddenly, a flush of red appeared behind Ethan's ears...
The bad guy was holding him again!
