Meanwhile, at the entrance of Golden Apple Kindergarten, a plump woman over forty years of age and decked out in jewelry stood there with two angry-looking men flanking her. She was pointing and yelling at Leah and Queenie Smith.
Teachers and security guards were around; they were anxiously trying to break up the argument.
This plump woman was none other than Chelsea Peyton.
She had her finger in Leah's face while she yelled, "You miserly shrew! Just look at how hardworking these teachers are! And yet you won't even chip in that little amount of money to show appreciation for them?"
"Penniless losers like you should just keep your mouths shut. How dare you even talk back to me? You're practically asking for a good beating!" "Jim! Tim! Go teach that woman some manners!"
Jim and Tim were the two intimidating men standing next to her; they also happened to be her younger brothers.
The two brothers were good-for-nothing bums who were fully dependent on their sister. So the moment they heard that someone was bullying their sister, they immediately accompanied her to the kindergarten.
And now, after hearing Chelsea's orders, they pushed the teachers and security guards out of the way without any hesitation so they could give Leah a beating.
However, right at that very moment, a sedan sped onto the scene and skidded to a stop right next to them.
Nathan got out of the car first, bellowing in rage, "Who dares to hit my mother?”
Queenie was so frightened by Chelsea and her brothers that she had frozen to the spot. Only after seeing Nathan, Penny, and Colin's arrival did she finally snap out of her daze. "Papa!" she yelped before hurtling straight over to Nathan.
Nathan bent down to pick up his daughter; he then stood protectively in front of Leah. Glaring at Chelsea, he seethed, "Don't you think you're going overboard? It's one thing to argue in the parents' group chat; it's another to bring people here and assault my mother!"
Chelsea glanced at Nathan's car. She knew that it only cost around two hundred thousand. I was right. They are a pathetically poor family.
She sneered at Nathan. "Your mother was rude to me in the group chat, so she deserves what's coming to her. And you know what? You look as much a loser as your mother. Jim! Tim! Teach him a lesson, too!"
Jim and Tim immediately stepped toward Nathan with hideous grins plastered on their faces. "Son, you look a little tense. Why don't we help you loosen up a little?" "Colin!" said Nathan calmly.
"Yes, Sir!" Colin responded and walked towards the two brothers.
