When Carla turned around, she saw Harry. He held her tightly in his embrace, just like her protector.
She could see the longing and pain in his eyes.
At that moment, Carla felt emotions swell within her, as if she had returned to the past."M-Mr. Stayton…" Miss Joria widened her eyes in shock and thought that she was seeing things.
"Your hand…"
When he saw the cut on Carla's hand, Harry furrowed his eyebrows and barked at Miss Joria, "What gives you the right to touch her?"
"Erm…" Miss Joria was so frightened that she felt a chill down her spine.
"Mr. Stayton, Mrs. Stayton and Simon just left."
Miss Zane meekly reminded him as she assumed Harry had mistaken Carla for Lola.
Hearing those words, Carla regained her senses. That's right, Harry is married to Lola now and they even have a son. I shouldn't have any more fantasies.
With that thought in mind, Carla pushed Harry away immediately and stepped to the side.
"I know, I asked them to head home first."
Harry recovered his usual elegant demeanor. Looking at the two children in front of Carla, a sudden mix of emotions engulfed his heart.
Randy and Josh had rushed to protect their mother when Miss Joria confronted her. It was just that Harry beat them to it.
At that moment, they stood guard in front of Carla with their fists clenched, just like little lions looking at Harry warily.
"Mommy!"
In a corner, Venus who was being held by Mrs. Borah widened her watery eyes and stared in fear.
"Are they… your children?" Harry looked at Carla knowingly.
"Yes!" Carla averted her gaze. Will he hate me for my impulsive actions then?
Despite his calm exterior, Harry subconsciously clenched his fists.
After a brief silence, he told the principal, "Miss Joria, I have seen the security footage and it was indeed Simon's fault."
"Yes, yes."
Miss Joria had lost track of what was going on. She could only nod and agree to whatever Harry said.
Harry knelt down and gently asked Venus, "Little girl, did Simon color your hair with paint?"
"Yes." Venus grumbled with a pout, "He was the one who bullied me and my two brothers only warned him about it. They didn't hit him. It was he who threw the crystal ball out the window in a fit of anger…"
"Yes, I know." Harry apologized to her sincerely. "On behalf of my son, Simon, I would like to say sorry to the three of you and also to your mother."
Seeing the scene that had just unfolded before her, Miss Joria and Miss Zane were equally shocked.
As for Mrs. Borah, she heaved a sigh of relief. Mr. Stayton hasn't changed.
As Carla looked at him intently, she realized he was just as gentlemanly and chivalrous as always.
"Mommy, " Randy tugged at Carla's sleeve and asked softly, "Do we forgive Simon's dad?"
Before Carla could reply, Harry added, "When I return home later, I will punish Simon accordingly. I will also tell Mrs. Stayton to personally apologize to all of you."
"Erm…" Miss Joria was stupefied to the extent she felt her head buzzing. She wondered if Carla had a powerful background or perhaps the three children were Harry's illegitimate kids.
"Furthermore…" Harry turned toward Miss Joria. "I have called the school board and told them that you are not suited to manage this school. It's better they look for someone else."
"Mr. Stayton…"
"Miss Joria!" Harry interrupted her. "I heard everything that you have just said to Miss Wigston. You are right that I can destroy one's future with a single word. However, that person isn't Miss Wigston but you instead."
"You'd better apologize to them sincerely and leave quietly. Maybe, I will consider showing you some mercy, " Harry threatened.
