Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Handling
Michael Richard moves quickly. Upon hearing the information, he got in his car.
Within half an hour, the two of them arrived at the kindergarten and went straight to see the principal.
The principal was a woman about fifty years old with slightly graying hair; wearing plain clothes, she looked neat and plain.
Justin Battleson had once donated a large sum to this kindergarten during its most difficult times, so the principal naturally knew him.
"Mr. Matthew," Justin Battleson sat down on the sofa and nodded slightly. "You must be already aware of the news. I had someone investigate, and found that the news was leaked by a teacher from your school."
Mr. Matthew was an honest person, which Justin Battleson naturally admired.
However, for such a despicable incident taking place at the kindergarten, he needed to be firm with his words.
Mr. Matthew placed a cup of tea in front of him. Upon hearing Justin Battleson, his expression became a bit serious as he nodded and said, "Mr. Battleson, I understand what you mean. I will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. If it turns out to be true, I will certainly deal with it seriously."
When his words were finished. Michael Richard, standing on one side, placed the call records and other evidence in front of Mr. Matthew, saying: "Mr. Matthew, all the evidence is here. Please have a look."
After saying that, he played the call recording between Teacher Hughes and the reporter.
After hearing this, Mr. Matthew’s face also turned grim. After a while, he shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Battleson, on behalf of the kindergarten, I apologize to you. We won’t keep such an immoral teacher."
Hearing Mr. Matthew intended to fire Teacher Hughes, Justin Battleson eased his stern face a bit and, with a docile tone, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Matthew."
...
On the other side, inside the apartment.
Charlotte Thompson stopped the animated show playing with the remote and sat down on the sofa. When Grace saw this, she was the first one to turn her head and looked at her, obviously slightly displeased.
Putting down the remote, Charlotte considered her words before speaking, "Babies, an unexpected situation has occurred. After thinking it over, I want to ask you if you’re willing to go back to Ashton to continue living."
She paused, taking a lighter tone, "Of course, I’m not going to force you. I just want to hear your opinions."
Upon hearing this, Grace’s face changed, blinking her big eyes dissatisfied says, "Mommy, I don’t want to go back. I promised Annie to play together tomorrow. If I go back, won’t I not be able to see her?"
As for Annie, Charlotte had considered that angle. If they indeed returned to Ashton, she didn’t know when they would be able to see her next.
"Besides," Hank interrupted, "Mommy, I think life is richer here compared to there. We all want to stay."
Charlotte Thompson was silent when she glanced at the look on the children’s faces. It was evident they all agreed with Hank’s opinion.
She bit her lower lip uncomfortably, then sighed and accepted, "Alright."
She turned and went to the balcony, pulling out her phone to send a message to Jordan Thompson about the ins and outs of the situation and her idea of bringing the children back to Ashton, asking him to help her make a decision.
On the other end, after carefully reading through the message, Jordan Thompson was also in a difficult position.
The current situation was indeed tricky.
He hesitated, and then decided to call his elder brother.
Whenever he wasn’t sure what to do, he subconsciously notified Henry Thompson.
To put it another way, Henry was the backbone of their family.
