The Stolen Heiress: The Billionaires’ Little Star novel Chapter 16

Principal Higgins finally arrived at the scene, hurrying over to help calm Mrs. Watson down.

The principal pulled her aside and lowered his voice, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know who that is?"

Most of the people around here were related in some way, and the principal didn't want the situation to get too ugly.

Mrs. Watson opened her mouth. "H-how would I know? W-who is he? Talking so big."

The principal was so angry he nearly fainted. "You don't even know his background, yet you're acting tough? Enough, give me the knife and go apologize."

"Me, apologize?"

"Go now! If you don't, I'll have your husband's name struck from the family register!"

That threat carried immense weight, far more effective than telling her she'd go to jail.

Mrs. Watson's face paled, and she awkwardly shuffled over. "I'm sorry, I was out of line." After speaking, she glared at her wailing son. "What are you crying for? Let's go home."

"Don't be in such a rush to leave, the apology isn't finished yet." With Xavier's temper, he would never let a score go unsettled. He would do this even if his own parents were standing there.

Mrs. Watson looked stunned. "I just apologized to you."

Xavier pointed at her son. "I meant him."

His expression darkened. "I came to drop Daisy off at school, and the first thing I hear when I walk through the door is him calling her a little bitch, claiming you taught him that. Now, apologize to Daisy."

The autumn wind swept across the playground, blowing right into Daisy's face.

Daisy looked up in a daze, finally realizing that the older boy beside her was actually angry on her behalf...

"Well, you see... that's just a catchphrase, it's not a real insult. Ugh, us country folk just talk like that, we're not as refined as you!" Mrs. Watson babbled her excuses.

Xavier curled his lips. "A catchphrase, is it? Then call your son a 'little bastard' three times, and we'll call it even."

Mrs. Watson's expression froze.

Billy cried and shouted, "I'm not a little bastard! I'm not!"

The principal let out a pointed cough.
