Chapter 288
The boys were stunned by Cordy’s sudden appearance, but Jerry soon gathered himself and yelled, "He upset me! I'm just straightening him out! What's wrong with that?"
He was a little tyrant, and Cordy already had enough of him.
If she had never met this boy, she would've never known that a six-year old could be so vile.
Still, she stayed calm since violence should never be used on children. She needed to find out everything that happened first.
Crouching, she studied Dicky’s filthy face, and her heart ached. She pushed down the pain and said gently, "Talk to Mommy. What happened?"
Dicky told her everything calmly, which only infuriated Cordy even further.
Her eyes were ablaze, and she snapped at Jerry, "The competition was fair! Don't your parents teach you that?"
"They told me that money talks!" Jerry retorted fearlessly. He even threatened her, saying haughtily, "Don't you dare talk to me like that! Don't you know what my family does for a living? My daddy will bankrupt you!"
Cordy snapped right then; she reached out to grab Jerry by the collar, intent on finding his parents.
Jerry seemed to think Cordy was going to hit him, and promptly cried out in fear, "Help! Help! Someone’s beating up a kid! Help!"
His parents, Adam and Eva, promptly ran inside upon hearing his crazed yelling, and quickly shielded him in his arms.
Then, Eva turned to Cordy and bellowed, "What do you think you're doing?! You made my son cry!"
She was accusing Cordy without caring about what happened, but Cordy restrained her anger to explain, "Your son bullied my son."
"My son never bullies anyone!' Eva retorted, refusing to listen.
