A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 150

Linda had no other choice, but to agree with Charles. She knew what sort of a man Charles was. He was so stubborn that he stuck to his rules no matter what.

Around eight o'clock, John Lee's parents finally appeared.

Director Li led them to Linda's office.

After walking into the office, the first thing John Lee's father did was to storm towards John Lee and slap him hard on the face. John's father shouted, "How many times have I told you to focus on your study? What did you do? Tried to jump to your death? How dare you!"

The hard slap made one of John's cheeks swollen, but he remained silent with his face lowered.

But his mother intervened: "What are you doing! Why did you strike him? You are always so rude to him! Can't you understand violence never solves our problems? You are the one to blame for what our son did today. You let your job take up all of your time and pay no attention to your son. Can't you see? John tried to jump off the building today. I can't imagine how lonely and desperate he must have felt. What if something should happen to him one day? He's the only son we have. You've never cared for him! Chris Lee, what do you want? A divorce?"

Obviously, Chris Lee was the name of John's father.

John Lee's mother was wearing a business suit from which one could tell she was a career woman. She looked pale and a little bit tired.

"We've been so nice to him, giving him everything he wants. What's his problem? He used to be a well-behaved kid, doing well at school. What turned him into a problem kid?"

Chris Lee shouted, as he seemed to become increasingly angrier. His beard was fluttering. He raised his hand again, to give his son another slap.

John didn't even try to swing around to avoid it. Even though the second blow left a red welt on his face, John remained silent and stood there, staring at his father with red-rimmed eyes.

He didn't say a single word.

"Why the silence? Do you want to defy me with your silence?

I am going to teach you a lesson today!"

Chris Lee thundered as he raised his hands again. Then, Linda called Bun's name.

The quick-witted Bun immediately got up and darted to Chris Lee, catching his hand before it reached John's face.

"Why are you stopping me? I am trying to teach my son a lesson! Leave him to me. I'll teach him how to stay out of trouble. I can't believe the little bastard even pretended to commit suicide." Chris Lee was looking at Bun with his questioning eyes.

"You can't use violence. It's illegal." Bun said calmly.
