After the call with the teacher, Juliet obtained the phone number of the little boy's mother. She calmed herself before making the call.
The mother answered and asked, "Who is this?"
"I'm Irene's guardian. I've been informed about your son bullying Irene. I would like to ask you to get your son to apologize to her tomorrow at school," said Juliet. "Of course, I won't force him to if he doesn't want to do it."
"Hahaha! You are hilarious! Irene scratched my son's face—"
"Your son had it coming. He was the one who started it. If he doesn't apologize to Irene, he will never learn from his mistake. If you spoil him, he will continue to pick fights with others as he grows up, and eventually, he might wind up getting beaten to death or thrown in jail as punishment," Juliet said swiftly. "That's all I want to say. How you want to educate your child is up to you, but if your son dares to bully Irene again, I will tell Irene to beat him up until he quiets down."
The boy's mother trembled in anger. "Why you- you—"
"I forgot to tell you, but my family is rich. Even if your son gets injured, we can afford the medical fees!" Juliet gave her one final warning before hanging up.
Before Irene left the mountains, Juliet rarely saw her. She had been busy with her studies and because Irene was safe on the hill, she did not have to worry about her.
She did not think she would this upset to learn that Irene had been bullied, but she felt as though her own child had been bullied.
It might be because of the way the old woman kept telling her what a great child Irene was.
