Chapter 422
Pattie had just switched to a new kindergarten, which was a prestigious institution where each student came from a family of high standing.
Upon hearing that Pattie had gotten herself into trouble, Anastasia rushed to the kindergarten.
Monica, her loyal friend, drove Anastasia there.
With her baby bump showing, Anastasia headed towards the kindergarten’s office. The sound of a child’s cries and a woman’s relentless scolding could be heard even before she reached the door.
“Can you see what my child looks like now? What if his face is ruined? What is your kindergarten doing? How could you admit this kinds of students…”
Anastasia walked into the room and glanced at the relentless woman, who exuded an air of wealth and had clearly undergone several cosmetic surgeries.
The woman was holding a chubby boy, who was a classmate of Pattie’s. He was known as “Little Chubby” and the grandson of a bank director.
Little Chubby’s face and neck were covered in wounds. There was even a bite mark on his hand. He was crying inconsolably.
Pattie stood in the corner. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes was torn. She was looking defiant. She too had scratches on her neck.
Anastasia walked up to Pattie, with concern in her voice, “Pattie, are you hurt anywhere?”
Seeing Anastasia, Pattie managed to muster a smile. “Mom, I’m fine. Unlike some people, all they know is to cry. It’s embarrassing.”
Ever since Pattie was kidnapped, Herman sent her to learn Taekwondo. She had grown more confident and physically stronger.
The woman was instantly displeased and snidely said to Anastasia, “This is your child, isn’t it? How do you educate her? She beat up my son so badly. She’s so ill-mannered. Do you know who my son’s grandfather is?”
Anastasia replied coolly, “Ma’am, regardless of who your son’s grandfather is, it takes two to tango. If my daughter is at fault, I will discipline her. But if anyone tries to bully her, I won’t stand for it.”
Anastasia asked Pattie, “Tell me, what happened? Why did you fight with your classmate?”
“Mom, I was the one who hit first. Chubby called me a wild child, an illegitimate child, I’m not an illegitimate child. I have parents. I told him to stop, but he didn’t. So, I hit him. I’m

sorry, Mom. I started the fight. But we agreed to a fair fight.”
Upon hearing this, Anastasia was shocked and felt a surge of anger. Her daughter had been called an illegitimate child at kindergarten.
The woman immediately started to complain, “Did you hear that? Your child started the fight. She’s so rude. She beat up my son so badly. You must give me an explanation today.”
Anastasia turned to the teacher and asked, “When did this kind of rumor start circulating here?”
The teacher replied awkwardly, “I also heard about this. I don’t know how these rumors started. Last week, Pattie told me about it. I scolded the students who insulted her. I thought it was over, but today, Pattie got into another fight.”
Anastasia asked Pattie, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Pattie pouted, “It’s our business as kids. I wanted to solve it myself. Didn’t you say that adults should not interfere in kids’ conflicts?”
Anastasia had indeed taught her that.
Pattie pointed at Little Chubby and said, “Chubby, you’re so embarrassing. We agreed on a fair fight. You lost and told the teacher. I despise you. I didn’t even cry.”
.Pattie was much smaller than Little Chubby. It was unbelievable that she could make him
cry. The Taekwondo lessons had indeed been useful.
Little Chubby was about to cry again, but Pattie shouted, “If you cry again, I’ll beat you up every time I see you.”
Stunned, Little Chubby actually shut up.
Anastasia was speechless. Monica couldn’t help but laugh. Pattie was indeed a feisty little girl.
Little Chubby’s mom was shocked. Her son, who was a little devil at home, had been beaten and silenced by a little girl. She poked Little Chubby’s forehead in frustration. “What a disgrace.”
Little Chubby tugged at his mom’s sleeve. “Mom, let’s go home.”
His mom was not ready to let it go. She told the teacher, “My son is injured like this. You should handle it. Expel that child, make her kneel and apologize to my son. Otherwise, I will ask my father-in-law to withdraw his funding. Let’s see how your kindergarten can continue.”
The teacher was caught in the middle. “Let’s calm down. It’s quite normal for kids to fight. Let’s sit down and clear up the misunderstanding.”

Anastasia walked a few steps forward, holding Pattie’s hand, and said coldly to the woman, “An apology is indeed necessary. But it should be your son apologizing to my daughter.”
The woman laughed sarcastically, “You must be kidding. You want my son to apologize? Do you know who my father-in-law is?”
Anastasia flashed a tight smile. “No matter who your father-in-law is, your son insulted my daughter. He must apologize.”
