Chapter 31 Speak in Of Isabella
Veronica wanted to volunteer and said suddenly, “Principal, why don’t I show them around?”
Veronica was a woman, so Owen felt that it was more appropriate to let her show Isabella and Ricky around. Draxton did not tag along. Instead, he sat in the office waiting for Isabella and Ricky to return.
Veronica quickly walked ahead of them although she was dressed in her 5-centimeter stilettos. After some distance, she found that Isabella and Ricky were not following behind her.
When she turned her head to look behind, she saw Isabella and Ricky walking slowly from quite some distance away.
A look of annoyance swept across Veronica’s face. Couldn’t she walk a little faster?
Just because she became Draxton’s mistress, she could not even walk properly!
She stood where she was for some time, waiting for Isabella and Ricky to catch up with her. She looked at Isabella in disdain. Isabella said, “I’m so sorry. He’s just a kid, so he can’t walk so fast.”
Veronica replied, “Don’t worry about it. Let’s continue. I always thought kids were more active and ran around a lot.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Ricky. She seemed annoyed that he did not run even slightly to catch up with the adults.
Isabella narrowed her eyes but said nothing.
This time, Veronica slowed down her pace. However, she did not do it for Ricky. Instead, she was trying to dig some dirt from Isabella.
“Miss Thompson, right? How long have you been with the chieftain?”
She spoke in a disrespectful manner as she questioned Isabella. Her tone clearly described her attitude.
Isabella noticed the vice-principal’s hostility toward her, so she had no intention of giving her any dirt. She simply said, “Vice-Principal, this is my personal matter. Does it have anything to do with the kindergarten?”
Veronica did not see this coming.
Miss Thompson was intriguing. She was quite the character and not one to be trifled with.
Then again, she was able to become the chieftain’s woman, so there must be something different about her.
“My bad. It was rude of me to ask. I hope you don’t mind me asking. Where did you use to work anyway, Miss Thompson?
The environment that children grow up in is affected by their parents’ occupations to a degree. People’s caliber also affects their children’s futures greatly.”
The woman was trying to imply something.
Isabella did not bother trying to be polite. She had a feeling that Veronica not only looked down on her but was also clearly trying to make trouble for her.
Isabella’s expression looked even colder as she said, “Vice-Principal, do you think Draxton will be a bad influence on the child? After all, he’s the father of the child.”
Veronica smiled mockingly. She had to agree Isabella was good at changing the subject. “Miss Thompson, I was asking about you!”
Isabella smiled in annoyance.
Veronica glanced at her and laughed coldly. “Miss Thompson, I know you are dating the chieftain and bore him a son. You might feel very proud of yourself, but as the mother of a child, you have to watch your image and actions. Other than the father, the mother has to be a good role model as well.”
“Vice-Principal, if you don’t want to show us around, then please just go. We can show ourselves around just fine.”
Isabella decided to drive her away altogether.
“Hmph!” Veronica scoffed indignantly. “Miss Thompson, you certainly have airs. From the looks of it, Mr. Lockwood must like you a lot!”
Isabella’s expression turned dark. She seriously wondered if there was something wrong with the woman’s
brain.
“Mom, I don’t like it here,” said Ricky unexpectedly. This was the first time he spoke ever since they got to the kindergarten.
He glanced at Veronica and said, “Mom, I want to go home.”
Isabella squatted down and looked at Ricky’s calm eyes. She smiled and replied, “Sure thing.”
Isabella and Ricky held hands as they went back without looking back at Veronica.
Veronica was stunned by their actions.
