Zeke glanced at Humpty. “At ease.”
Pfft!
Haha!
The crowd couldn’t help but chortle.
“You f*****g...” Humpty’s face was sullen.
At ease? Do you think I’m f*****g greeting you?
The headmistress was enraged. “Hmph, you’ve only got a sharp tongue.”
“Let me enlighten you. My brother here has contracted the restaurants of countless large groups and even government agencies. He has a wide network of contacts and is prominent in the underworld. Humpty can crush you simply by borrowing a little power from his friends.”
Humpty continued, “Why bother borrowing power from my friends to deal with this piece of trash? I alone am enough to break him to pieces. Zeke Williams, you came here to pick up your child, right? Haha, I didn’t realize you’re already married and have kids.”
The headmistress quickly answered, “Yes, he came here to pick up his child. His child is poor and brainless. I’ve already expelled her.”
Humpty grew even more pleased upon hearing that. “Tell me, if Summer finds out about you having a family and still pursuing her, would she hate you for the rest of your life?”
Zeke feigned nervousness and replied, “Get lost. If you dare tell her, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
Humpty brayed with laughter. “This makes me want to show you if I dare to tell her! Hmph, not only will I tell her you have a family, but I’ll also tell her you were the one who framed her mother Ruby Baxter for accepting her students’ bribes.”
Zeke spoke up, “Bullshit, this is slandering.”
Humpty retorted, “We’ll find out whether this is slandering or not soon enough.”
As he said this, Humpty whipped out his phone and called Summer.
“Summer, bring your mother to Wisdom Isle Kindergarten. I’ve caught the person who framed your mother. We’ll return your mother’s innocence today.”
“Okay, alright. Hurry up.”
When he hung up, Humpty raised a middle finger at Zeke. “To the person about to die, any last words?”
Zeke ignored Humpty and produced his own phone to call Teeth.
“Time for your entrance. Come to Wisdom Isle Kindergarten.”
“Calling for rescue? Hmph, it’s too late for that now,” Humpty stated.
“However, I can give you a chance. Grovel on the floor and ask for forgiveness, then I’ll stop Summer and her mother from coming. How about that?”
Zeke retorted, “I’ll also give you a chance. Kneel and apologize. Only then will I let you die a swift death.”
“Pfft, how arrogant!” Humpty spat out.
“It seems you want to do it the hard way.”
Summer and her mother Ruby arrived before long.
Ruby asked curiously, “Charlie, why did you call us here?”
Humpty smiled and pointed at Zeke. “Isn’t Zeke trying to pursue Summer? I’m giving them an opportunity.”
That was when both Summer and Ruby noticed Zeke.
Summer’s first reaction was that these two guys were in a conflict.
Humpty is helping Zeke pursue me? Like hell he would.
Summer questioned Zeke hastily, “Mr. Williams, why are you here too?”
Before Zeke was able to answer, Humpty took the initiative and interrupted, “He came to a kindergarten to pick his child, of course.”
This startled both Summer and Ruby as they fixed their gaze on Zeke.
Summer asked mindfully, “Mr. Williams, you... you have a child?”
The headmistress added insult to injury. “What, you guys didn’t know?”
“His child is almost four years old. She’s enrolled in my kindergarten. She’s poor and stupid. She’s can’t do anything but eat.”
After confirming that Zeke had a family, both Summer and Ruby displayed looks of weariness as the complications in their hearts grew.
