Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 411

Bethany's bite had traumatized Aster. When Bethany touched Aster's hand, he flinched, instinctively taking a step back.

It hurt Larissa to see that.

Aster was an outgoing child who got along well with everyone around him. It was extremely rare for him to reject a person. He shook his head ever so slightly and raised his head, casting a pleading look at Larissa.

Reading the fear in his eyes, Larissa stepped forward, using her own body to shield him.

"Ma'am," she began to say, turning to Violet. "Since Bethany has already apologized, let's wrap things up."

Ashamed, Violet answered, "I'm sorry, Larissa. I didn't know Bethany would do such a thing ..."

Larissa couldn't assure her that it was fine as Aster was far from fine given the injury he had suffered. Hence, she remained silent.

However, a parent standing nearby couldn't hold back and brought their child over to complain to Violet, "You seem quite reasonable, so let me tell you this ... Your child must be disciplined! She bullies her classmates here every day, and my child has been beaten up by her several times!

"We've talked to her mother, but she scolds us instead, refusing to correct her daughter's behavior! Several children in the class have transferred to another class or school because of her. If you don't believe me, just ask the teacher!"

Violet turned to look at the homeroom teacher, who nodded begrudgingly.

Perhaps sensing the crisis, Bethany hugged Violet's thigh and pleaded urgently, "Grandma! I want to go home! Let's go home!"

Violet told the homeroom teacher, "I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Then, she cast Larissa a long look before leading Bethany away. Once they left, several parents gathered around Larissa.
