“Dream on!” Nelly Woods heard Cindy Clarke’s accusation that her son Arthur was ill-mannered. Wasn’t this a direct insult to her and Andy Woods?
Nelly’s face twisted in rage: ‘Why should Arthur apologize to you? You wish! Arthur did nothing wrong. Why should he apologize?”
“So what if Morgan Clarke was born when you were young, what’s wrong with that? So what if you don’t know who Morgan’s biological father is, what’s wrong with that? If you do know, then say it! So what if you have a casual private life? If not, would you have given birth to Morgan before you were married? Five years on, and you don’t even know where the child’s father is?”
Nelly then turned to the Headmaster: “Arthur didn’t say anything wrong. This mother and son duo had it coming! They do such shameless things but don’t want people to comment?”
“If you can make such disgraceful choices, you have to be prepared for the consequences. You had the child, so if your child also gets disrespected that’s your fault, not anyone else’s!” Nelly declared.
“What wrong did we say about Morgan Clarke? It’s your fault, you’ve dragged your child into this!” Nelly raised her voice, “If you hadn’t slept around and gotten pregnant, nobody would be talking about your child.”
“If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. You have the audacity to act shamelessly, yet we can’t point it out?” Nelly scoffed disdainfully. “Indeed, you’re a bad influence. No surprise that your only solution is resorting to a fight.”
Nelly’s disdain was evident on her face.
Thankfully, Cindy had been covering Morgan’s ears, so he hadn’t heard any of this.
Nelly then addressed the Headmaster. “Expel Morgan Clarke,” she suggested.
“With such a violent child around, I don’t feel safe letting Arthur stay here. What if he gets hit again?”
“Arthur is not like those commoners’ children, he’s delicate! Regardless of anyone else, any slight harm to Arthur is unacceptable! Arthur has never been wronged like this since he was a child! I didn’t put him in this nursery to be hit!”
To the Headmaster, Nelly said, ‘You decide. Either keep Morgan Clarke or keep
Arthur. If you believe Morgan Clarke is not a problem, then Arthur will leave! And our family isn’t stuck with only this nursery option!”
Good nurseries these days are all difficult to get into. Even though the fees for prestigious kindergartens are high, they are plenty of wealthy people willing to
pay.
Even for a prestigious kindergarten, you need to queue up one or two years in aavance co get m.
It didn’t matter for the Woods family. They had connections and could choose any kindergarten they wanted.
They initially chose this nursery because they thought highly of it. While the children at this nursery came from well-off families, none of them were much wealthier than the Woods family.
This situation made Arthur stand out and receive more attention.
Better nurseries could accept Arthur, too.
In those places, however, other children might come from even wealthier families, and Arthur would not stand out as much.
Hence, they’d rather keep him in this nursery.
The Clarke family, on the other hand, doesn’t have many connections. If they left this nursery, it would be hard for them to get into another one.
The Woods family? They could switch to another one at any time.
In contrast, without Arthur, the nursery would lose a considerable amount of sponsorship.
Even with just a passing thought, the Headmaster should know who to keep and who to let go..
