Chapter 1261 - 1260: Don’t Say We Know Each Other—We Don’t Need to Associate Anymore
Old Mr. Zane was hitting his grandson, Mr. Zane Sr. was trembling, his face ashen, and Miss Winton stood at the door, wishing she could disappear immediately. Mrs. Zane finally realized the seriousness of the issue, what kind of people are they?
The plot suddenly became dramatic, the most bewildered were the teacher and Principal Liu. What was going on with the Zane family? After witnessing the power of the Zane family, and seeing the old man hit the little fatty, not to mention the principal, even the teacher didn’t want to intervene. Let them cause a fuss if they want; after all, they have authority and power, and they were just ordinary citizens who couldn’t afford to offend them.
Leah saw the little fatty crying earth-shatteringly, and frowned slightly. One pretended to be beating, the other cried with full effort, considering it quite skillful, making her head ache.
She reached out and tugged on Richard Shaw’s sleeve, the man lowered his eyes, his tea-colored pupils fixated on her for three seconds, then coldly said, "Enough."
The man’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an inexplicable authority, with an intimidating aura. Immediately, Leo Zane didn’t dare to cry, the old man, seeing the situation, quickly laughed, "Mr. Shaw, it’s all because my grandson is ignorant. Fortunately, it didn’t hurt Casimir. I promise to discipline him seriously at home, and if there’s any more bullying in the future, you don’t have to say anything. I’ll send him to the countryside to farm and raise pigs to learn how to behave."
The old man laughed sincerely and honestly, nervously watching Richard Shaw, afraid that the man would be displeased and want to punish his son and grandson.
Originally, this matter was just the little fatty’s failed attempt to hit someone and getting beaten instead, and the parents came to stir things up. The Shaw Family was passively dragged into it, so Richard Shaw originally didn’t intend to make things difficult for the Zane family.
The man glanced at Mrs. Zane, his gaze sharp, with a hint of displeasure, then lowly asked Leah: "My wife, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
For big decisions, his wife was in charge. He listened to his wife.
Leah saw the hot potato thrown to her again and noticed the old man seemingly aware of Richard Shaw’s identity.
She furrowed her brow, beckoned Casimir Shaw over, patted the young boy’s head, and said lightly, "Luckily, my child is big now; otherwise, being yelled at, beaten, and cried around like this would surely scare him sick."
"Classmate Zane wanted to bully our Cass, but got beaten instead, so he got what he deserved. We won’t pursue this matter further, but your family spoiling the child has likely done a lot of bullying with impunity. Starting today, you should visit each family to apologize personally."
Visit each family to apologize? So many families? The faces of the Zane family instantly turned sour.
"Alright, we’ll do as Mrs. Shaw said. Once we get home, I’ll have Debo and his wife go visit each family to apologize," the old man gritted his teeth and agreed.
Mrs. Zane’s face changed dramatically. Having to apologize was more painful than death, especially as no one even remembered which families they were, all inconsequential people.
Mrs. Zane was just about to speak, but the old man fiercely glared at her, tightly gripping his cane, indicating that if she dared to utter a word, he’d kick her out of the Zane family.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zane inexplicably felt scared, angrily tugging her husband’s clothes, but Mr. Zane Sr. was still engulfed in the fear of offending the Army Major General of the Imperial City to care about her.
"Since that’s settled, it seems this matter is resolved satisfactorily," the man said in a low voice, then looked at the other three families’ parents, "Do the three of you have any other questions?"
Reaching this point, only a fool would press further. The other three families were there to extort money, seeing the Zane family with their huge backing admitting defeat, how could they dare to step forward? Quickly they shook their heads and said, "No problem, no problem."
Richard Shaw nodded, his stern face softening a little, looking towards the school staff, he smiled, "I apologize for causing trouble to the teachers and principal, don’t let us impede your classes, I’ll request two days leave for Cass."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, Mr. Shaw, you’re too polite. Leave is not a problem, Casimir, go home and enjoy, eat well, and have fun," the principal said with a full smile, vaguely guessing Richard Shaw’s identity, but didn’t dare believe it.
In the Imperial City, the Winton family wouldn’t dare offend such a prestigious family, and named Shaw, at the very top is the Shaw Family, it was simply incredible.
Richard Shaw slightly smiled, reached out and took Casimir Shaw’s hand.
"Goodbye Principal Grandpa, Goodbye Director Uncle, Goodbye teachers," Casimir waved, holding hands with Mr. Shaw and his mommy, thinking of the two days leave plus the weekend, for a total of four days off, excitedly said goodbye to the teachers and happily headed home.
"Crystal, is that you?" Serena Winton stared at the face identical to her memory, asked somewhat unwillingly.
Leah squinted her beautiful peach blossom eyes, lazily said, "Miss Winton, you’ve mistaken me for someone else."
After speaking, she left the office without turning back.
Upon hearing Leah, Serena Winton breathed a sigh of relief. She thought, how could Crystal have resurrected? It must be someone surgically altered to have the same face as Crystal, but seeing Richard Shaw, such a cold and indifferent man, treating her with utmost care, made Serena gnash her teeth in anger.
So Richard Shaw wasn’t uninterested in women, he was just interested in a specific type of woman. As long as it wasn’t Crystal, she had plenty of ways to expose this cuckoo in the nest.
"Father-in-law, why did you let them go?" Mrs. Zane felt utterly humiliated today, she said accusingly, "They don’t even seem like people with a background, maybe we are just scaring ourselves."
The old man snorted coldly, not wanting to pay her any mind, just said to his son, "You’ll make a list today, then take generous gifts and visit each family to apologize with your wife. If you don’t go, don’t ever step into our Zane Family again."
Mrs. Zane’s face turned pale.
Serena Winton walked over, returning to her usual arrogant demeanor, with schadenfreude sighed and said, "Sister Zane, I’ve never offended you, how could you harm me like this?"
Mrs. Zane’s face changed, just about to speak, Serena impatiently gestured her to stop talking, continued, "Do you know who he is? Not many prestigious families in the Imperial City can match the status of the Shaws, he was an Army Major General at 23, your Zane family is really courting death. Don’t ever mention knowing me again, we do not need to associate anymore."
After speaking, Serena with schadenfreude glanced at Mrs. Zane, then with her nose in the air, walked out of the office in high heels.
Mrs. Zane plopped down on the ground, eyes glazed over, face pale with fear.
And instantly, the office erupted.
Homeroom teacher Mr. Wu was baffled, so classmate Casimir Shaw, from an ordinary family in his class, turned out to be from the prestigious Shaw Family, and his dad was the Army Major General? His grandfather was an Admiral, and his great-grandfather was a Founding Marshal? What?
