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.
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 Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
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.”
