NovelTrueElysia frowned. She didn't buy Punikon's story for a second.
No one knew her own kids better than she did.
Sure, Elijah wasn't exactly the social butterfly type, but he always had good manners. If Punikon genuinely
wanted to be friends, there's no way Elijah would just ignore him.
And Emmett? That sweet, soft-hearted kid wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone start a fight.
Evan might be a bit of a scrapper, but he knew when to stop. "Beat him to a pulp"? Please, that was a stretch.
"So, what did Evan, Emmett, and Elijah say?” Elysia asked, crossing her arms.
The teacher looked exasperated. "Elijah won't say a word. I've asked him over and over-nothing."
Elysia's heart ached at the thought of Elijah just clamming up, holding everything in.
"What about Evan and Emmett?" she pressed.
The teacher sighed, glancing at her notes. "Emmett said he saw Punikon trying to stab Elijah with a pencil, so he
jumped in to protect him. Evan said Punikon's been picking on Elijah for ages-he's had enough, so he stepped in
and, well, things got physical."
Elysia's brows knit even tighter. She took a breath and said firmly, "Kids get into scuffles. It happens. If it turns
out my kids were in the wrong, I'll make sure they apologize to Punikon, and I'll personally apologize to his
parents. If there's compensation needed, we'll take care of it."
"But if my kids aren't at fault, | don't care who Punikon's family is-they'll have to face the consequences."
The teacher, well aware both families were well-off and influential, just nodded quickly. "Of course, of course."
Meanwhile, in the lounge, the kids were huddled together, crying their eyes out in the arms of Clayton and
Pamela.

The moment Elysia walked in, the dam burst. The kids ran to her, sobbing even harder, all piling around her,
desperate for comfort.
"Mommy! Waaaaaah..."
Elysia's heart broke. She blinked back tears, kneeling down to check them over.
"Who's hurt?" she asked, voice trembling.
Elliot piped up, "Elijah and Emmett."
Elysia immediately went to check their wounds. Elijah had a Band-Aid on the back of his hand. She peeled it back
gently and winced there. was a small, deep puncture where the pencil had gone in. It had bled, too.

BUMS
The school nurse had cleaned it up, but it still looked painful.
Fighting back tears, Elysia grabbed a fresh Band-Aid and covered the wound, kissing Elijah's hand.
She then checked Emmett. His injury was almost identical: another pencil stab. On top of that, there was a nasty
red scratch on his neck, like he'd been scraped with the pencil.
Elysia was furious and heartbroken. She'd worked so hard raising her boys-how could she stand seeing them hurt
like this?
"I'm sorry, Mommy... | lost my temper," Evan whispered, tugging nervously at her sleeve.
He was the one who'd thrown the punches, and he was scared Elysia would be mad.
Elysia wiped her eyes and looked

Emmett burst out, still crying, "Mommy, don't punish Evan! It wasn't his fault—it was Punikon's!"
Baby, sniffling and clutching Tarquin, joined in, "Don't hit Evan, Mommy, please! Don't hit him!"
Tarquin soothed, "Of course not. Mommy would never hurt Evan, right?"
Pamela hugged Evan tight. "Irene, you can't punish Evan. If you're mad, take it out on Tarquin or your dad, not
Evan."
Elysia held up her hands, exasperated. "I'm not actually going to punish Evan. | just want to understand what
happened."
