Chapter 123 The Teachings of Shirley Thomas

She could also go find her daddy immediately in case Ruben Koch’s entire family bullied her mommy.

However, she was still a little scared of Ruben’s family, since his mother was so mean to her yesterday.

When Jacob Thomas saw that she was frightened and scared, he lowered his head and muttered,

“Idiot.”

Shirley Thomas glared at Jacob, “Emma is a girl, so it’s normal for her to be afraid like this. Don’t talk to

her like that.”

Afterwards, Jacob turned towards Emma Thomas and said, “Don’t be afraid, sister. There are a lot of

security guards outside. Also, this is our territory. If they dared to come here to apologize to us, then it

also means that they wouldn’t dare do anything to us.”

Shirley was very satisfied with what her son said. She nodded, “Your brother is right. They are the ones

who hit us, so they should be the one to apologize to you and your brother.”

“Then, can I call daddy to come over?” Ruben’s mom was afraid of her daddy, so she would feel safer

with her daddy here.

Shirley raised her hand to rub her nose bridge. Then, she walked towards Emma, got down, and

hugged her. She said, “Last night, he let mommy take a day off. I think he didn’t sleep for a whole night

yesterday. Do you think we should still bother him?”

“Oh, is that it? So, mommy was sleeping with us last night?” Emma blinked her huge eyes.

Jacob cursed again in a low voice, “Idiot, you wet the bed last night. It was mommy who got up and

changed your pants.”

“Ah! I didn’t wet the bed!” Emma blushed and immediately covered her crotch area.

In Shirley’s eyes, she looked just like a little duckling that made a mistake. She was incredibly cute.

She fixed Emma’s clothes and said, “Anyway, mommy’s here, so you don’t have to be afraid.”

She held Emma and Jacob’s hands, and they walked out of the bedroom to the lobby on the first floor

together.

As they walked into the lobby, they really saw a family of three.

Dahlia Koch wore a floral dress paired with a black coat and combed her hair into a bun. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

On the other hand, Mr. Koch wore a suit and leather shoes. He had a big body and a cleanly shaved

head.

Between them sat a kid who was about the same age as Jacob.

The entire Koch family immediately stood up from the sofa and politely smiled as soon as they saw

Shirley come inside with the kids.

Dahlia would glance behind Shirley from time to time. Though she soon realized that the man who went

to school yesterday didn’t show up, she was already very terrified.

Shirley took her two kids and sat opposite them. Then, she turned to Daisy and said, “Daisy, please

bring another pot of tea and some snacks as well.”

Dahlia was startled, so she immediately declined, “No, there is no need for that, Madam Moore. We

came here today for the matter about Ruben.”

Mr. Koch quickly added, “Yes, yes. My child wasn’t properly taught. I can’t believe he actually hit

people. That’s why I came here to check up on you. How are the two kids? Are they alright? Did you

check up with a doctor already?”

When Shirley heard Dahlia call her Madam Moore, she was secretly shocked. She immediately denied,

“Please don’t call me Madam Moore, I...”

“Madam Moore, I sincerely apologize to you, your two kids and Mr. Moore as well for what happened

yesterday. I did not teach Ruben well. I promise you that this will not happen again.” Not long after

Dahlia sat down, she pulled her son up and bowed down deeply as she put her palm behind his head.

As he was being pressed to bend down, Ruben’s tears flowed down his face. However, he didn’t dare

let out a sound.

When he went home yesterday, his father learned that he fought with someone he shouldn’t. So he

was straight up beaten and scolded harshly by his father.

That’s why Ruben didn’t have the guts to put up an act anymore.

With a weak look, he said, “Jacob, Emma, I’m sorry. I apologize for the hurtful words and actions I did

in the past. Please forgive my family and give us another chance.”

Ruben stared at Jacob and Emma as his eyes swelled up with tears.

Emma and Jacob were both stunned.

He was surprised to see both Ruben and his mom to be so much different from yesterday.

They were so easy to talk to.

Especially Emma, she surprisingly felt sympathetic to Ruben when she saw how miserable he was.

However, she didn’t say a word.

Mr. Koch immediately took out a document from his briefcase, put it on the table, and said, “Madam

Moore, this is the compensation I prepared for the medical, mental, and nutritional expenses of your

two children. Please accept it.”

Shirley was stunned for a moment. She only wanted their attitude. Now that she saw how the entire

Koch family was apologizing, she was extremely satisfied.

However, she didn’t think that they brought money to compensate instead.

Honestly speaking, she could afford spending that much money.

However, some things couldn’t just be measured through money.

“Mr and Mrs. Koch, let’s sit down and talk,” Shirley said.

Dahlia pulled Ruben back and sat on the sofa. Mr. Koch also slowly sat down.

Shirley looked at Ruben and said, “He is your child. As an outsider, there are some things that are not

for me to say. But I have to say it now that my child is involved.”

Afterwards, she lifted Jacob down from the sofa. Then, she lifted his clothes and showed Jacob’s

wounds to Mr. and Mrs. Koch.

When Mr. and Mrs. Koch saw this, she was shocked once again.

They suddenly felt that Bryan Moore went too easy on them.

Mr. Koch immediately pulled Ruben’s arm, slapped Ruben’s butt harshly, and scolded him, “Look at

what you’ve done. Didn’t I teach you not to take other people’s things and not to hit the other little kids?

And you, you are the one who spoiled our son. Look at how badly he beat other people up. I’ll just beat

you to death today.”

Ruben immediately cried.

Shirley frowned and shouted, “Mr. Koch, stop beating him.”

Dahlia forcibly pulled her son into her arms, and they cried together. Mr. Koch put his hands on his hips

with worry all written over his face.

If they didn’t properly resolve this matter, then they wouldn’t be able to do business here in the future.

The people they offended were from the Moore Family of the City L.

“Mr. Koch, the reason why I let you see the wounds on my child was not for you to beat up your child.

According to my two kids, Ruben always takes things from the other children in school. If he didn’t get

it, he would abuse and beat them. He thinks that everything in the school belongs to him and only him.

Forgive me for saying this, but Ruben’s attitude isn’t normal. As his parents, you shouldn’t scold and

beat him. Instead, you should properly teach him.”

“Sometimes, scolding and beating may be effective in that moment, but it can easily leave a

psychological trauma on the child which can make them violent. Most behaviors of a child are not

formed by themselves. They are often influenced by the environment they live in. As his parents, you

should set an example for your child.”
