Chapter 4 Antonio , who was surrounded by admirers , looked down at me in disbelief . I pushed myself up from the ground , gritting my teeth against the pain , and slowly stood up , a smirk playing on my lips . The kindergarten principal hurried over , frowning and speaking to me with a serious tone , Please dont be stubborn . Apologize to Mr. Kaufman now . Or youll be toast ! I shook my head at the principal , and she heaved a sigh . I know youre not the ty Purchase completed face it . Those big corporations have way too much power for you to mess with ! When she finished , the suited guys from the business cars were only a few steps away from the event area . The onlookers , Antonios yes men, and the parents with their phone cameras on all seemed excited , like they were about to watch a great show . They were making faces and gloating , looking at me with schadenfreude . Antonio , however , stepped forward , lowering his voice and staring at me as he asked , Did you bring these people ? Are you that vindictive , wanting to make a big deal out of this ?! 0.00 % 111 10:56 Dont forget , Im the general manager now . Im their boss ! I smiled at him and said , Oh yeah ? Lets wait and see . Sophia , seeing me talking to Antonio , hurried over , still with that fake sweet smile on her face . Antonio , I know you think Ive been treated unfairly , and youve brought the whole legal team to support me , she said . But I was partly to blame , too . Just let it go . As she talked , she looked all innocent , making sure Antonio saw the red mark on her face from where I had slapped her . Jacob reached out to push me , yelling , Youre bullying my mom ! Soon , my dads subordinates will beat you up ! I took a step back on purpose . Losing his balance , Jacob stumbled forward and fell to the ground with a thud . His forehead swelled up badly . What are you doing , bullying a kid ?! What if he gets hurt ? Antonio exclaimed , his eyes wide with anger . I couldnt help but retort , Antonio , are you blind ? Sophia quickly picked Jacob up , sobbing . Hes just a kid , and he barely pushed you . Why did you have to be so rough ?! Grace , take out your anger on me . Jacob didnt do anything wrong ! 21.45 % . 10:56 After hearing what Sophia said , Antonio got so enraged that he wanted to beat me up . Just then , the guys in suits had already walked up to us . The onlookers were all waiting for me to be taken down by the security guards . They were expecting Antonio to teach me a good lesson so that Sophia would feel better . But then the buff bodyguard stepped right in front of me . He grabbed Antonios outstretched arm and then sent him flying . Everyone was slack jawed . This wasnt how they thought it would go ! Antonio , getting his balance back , yelled at the bodyguard , Are you crazy ?! Im the general manager , the one who signs your paychecks ! The sycophants who had just flattered Antonio were now . looking back and forth between me and Antonio , asking , Mr. Kaufman , did these guys get it wrong ? Everyone else seemed to wake up from a dream , glancing at each other , confused by the unfolding scene . Sophia , looking really upset , clung to Antonio . Arent you the general manager of the Sunwing Group ? You have to stand up for Jacob . I thought , Shes still sure that these men are here because of Antonio ? What a fool ! Her eyes were full of both anger and triumph , totally different from her aggrieved look just now . Just then , another group of fancy suited men came our way , with the one in front wearing gold rimmed glasses . It was Luke , the head of the Legal Department of the Sunwing Group . Someone with legal expertise quickly recognized him . Thats a big deal in law . Didnt expect we would get to see him in person today ! Ive heard hes won every case hes taken for five years . straight ! Luke walked right past Antonio like he didnt even exist and greeted me with respect , Ms. Parrish , everything has been done as per your request . His voice wasnt loud , but everyone around could hear him , and they all looked at me , surprised . What ? Did I hear that right ? Arent these people from the Sunwing Group ?
