467 Offending the Wrong Person
"Feel free to bring my parents here. But | think you should let his parents come here as well,’ Matthew said indifferently, glaring at Jonas.
Since Mr. Frye was there, Jonas became bolder as someone was backing him up. "You'll be expelled!" He said, raising his chin to Matthew.
Matthew sneered and dialed Wayne's number. After explaining what was happening to him, he urged Wayne to hurry and added, "Don't forget to bring Tammy's clothes.”
"Got it," Wayne said, and he sounded even more enraged than Matthew. As he hung up the phone, Matthew couldn't help but laugh.
“Are you all savages? Take a look at the bruising on my son's face!" Jonas' mother shouted.
Ithad been an hour and a half since the end of the school day. Jonas’ mother, a middle-aged woman in heavy makeup, slapped the desk inside Mr. Frye's office. As she spoke, her mouth opened wide, and her shrill voice echoed throughout the room. Standing beside her, Jonas lowered his head and acted as if he were the victim.
After hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but look him over. Because Matthew hadn't hit Jonas hard enough earlier, he only had a few bruises on his face. Matthew would have kicked Jonas a few more times if he had known what would happen later.
After realizing Matthew had a dismissive attitude, Jonas’ mom roared 466 Offending the Wrong Person more angrily, "You're going to be kicked out! You've ruined the reputation of the school!”
"Jonas started it!" Tammy said. She had come to her senses by then. A puddle of water was forming at her feet, and her hair was dripping wet. She looked a mess, but she stood firm in defense of her brother.
Jonas’ mom didn't take Tammy seriously. She raised her head with contempt and crossed her arms over her chest slowly. She asked, "You must be Tammy, right? Now, almost everyone in town is blaming you and your shameless mother. I'm surprised that you still have the nerve to come to school!”
Tammy took a step back before the woman could say anything more venomous. Her hands clenched into fists, and her entire body trembled. She couldn't take any more of the scathing remarks.
Seeing that, Matthew approached Tammy and hugged her tightly to comfort her. The woman smiled triumphantly at the sight of her pitiful appearance. She was about to say something else when she heard a loud bang at the door.
Someone slammed the office door open. Immediately after that, a dozen men in suits and ties entered the office, the man in the front, carrying a bucket of water. He poured water on Jonas before anyone could react.
Seconds later, the woman's high heels were also soaked in the water. Her eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Who the hell are you?! What do you want?"
The crowd spread out on either side, leaving a path in the middle. Wayne strolled from the back of the crowd, and he looked condescending "You were looking for me?" Wayne ignored the screaming woman and approached Mr. Frye, who was sitting at his desk drinking tea 466 Offending the Wrong Person
Mr. Frye's eyes widened in surprise, and he spat back into his teacup the mouthful of tea he had just taken. He was taken aback by the scene and needed a few moments to recover his composure. "Are you Tammy's father?" He asked, setting his teacup down and wiping his mouth with his cuff.
"Yes, I'm her father. What's wrong?" Wayne answered indifferently.
Mr. Frye wiped the sweat from his brow and explained, "Tammy's brother punched a student, and he refused to apologize to him. It's a very serious matter, so | thought I should let you know about it.”
Wayne nodded. He handed Tammy the clothes he had just bought at the mall and sat on the couch. "I want to hear what you think about this incident," He said sternly after Tammy left the office.
Mr. Frye pushed the frame of his glasses and said as calmly as he could, "Tammy and Jonas got into an argument today at the end of school. To be honest, Jonas had a slight advantage. Then Tammy's brother came over and beat up Jonas for no apparent reason. See, Jonas's still got visible bruises on him.”
Wayne glanced at Jonas, who couldn't raise his head after being doused with another bucket of water. "What do you think we should do about this?” Wayne asked, nodding.
