Chapter 360

In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave.

Just like last time, Frederick personally dropped Teresa back at school.

As they were leaving, Yuna came up to them with a wide smile as soon as Frederick and Teresa stepped out of the

door, “Teresa, come and play again next time.”

Teresa froze, her face contorting as she looked back at Yuna.

She found Yuna’s smile eerily unsettling, her gaze carrying a hint of intimidation.

Teresa was no fool, she knew Yuna was warning her! If she were to tell Hayes‘ dad about what happened, he

wouldn’t let her visit the mansion again.

With resignation, Teresa managed to squeeze out a smile, waving goodbye to Yuna. “See you.”

She hopped into the car with Frederick and they were soon at the kindergarten.

At that time, Marguerite hadn’t arrived yet, so Teresa smartly pointed to the reception

room.

“Hayes‘ dad, you can go. I’ll wait in the reception room. If mom sees us, we’ll be caught.”

Frederick nodded, leading Teresa into the reception room. As he was about to leave, he turned back to look at her

with concern. And there she was, staring at him with a look of hesitation on her face.

“Something you want to say?”

Teresa’s little face was clouded with grievance, full of unspoken complaints.

She wanted to tell him, but the warning from Yuna held her back.

“There’s nothing! You should go, Hayes‘ dad. Mom will be here soon!”

Frederick finally left, but he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he parked his car in a corner from where he could

watch covertly.

He waited until Marguerite’s car pulled up at the entrance and saw her taking Teresa’s hand before he finally drove

away.

Inside the car, Teresa was visibly upset, pouting and crossing her arms as though she was sulking.

“Who upset my little princess?” Marguerite asked, glancing at Teresa in the rear–view mirror as she drove.

Teresa looked at her mother and asked indirectly, “Mom, what would you do if someone bullied you?”

“It depends.”

Teresa’s interest was piqued, “What does that mean?”

Marguerite thought for a while before answering, “If they hurt you, you must stand up for yourself; if they are just

trying to get attention, then it doesn’t matter. Ignoring them is the best response.”

Marguerite would never teach Teresa to tolerate harm like her grandmother did. She wanted Teresa to learn how to

protect herself.

Hearing her mother’s words, Teresa found herself in a dilemma. Clearly, Manley and Yuna had hurt Hayes, they

abused him. But how could she fight back? She couldn’t take on both of them! Even if she could fight them, they

would still bully Hayes once she leaves.

“Mom, if they hurt me, what’s the best way to fight back?”

“Find their weakness. But Teresa, never fight back with the intention to hurt them. No hitting, okay?”

Teresa pondered. Weakness? Yuna’s weakness must be not wanting Hayes‘ dad to find out she hit Hayes, right? But

if she directly told Hayes‘ dad, would he believe her?

No, she had to come up with a good plan.

Marguerite noticed Teresa deep in thought. She had a hunch that something was off with her today. She instantly

became alert and asked anxiously, “Why are you asking this? Did someone at Taekwondo class bully you?”

Teresa was taken aback, she hadn’t expected to be questioned like this.

She didn’t go to a Taekwondo class, and if she told her mom she was being bullied, would she run off to talk to the

class teacher?

Afraid of being found out, Teresa fibbed, “We elected a group leader today, but one kid wasn’t happy. He wanted to

be the leader too.”

“What did the coach say?”
