Richelle Dunn, with her three children, attended their first semester parent-teacher meeting cum school-end ceremony.
Compared to normal full-time schools, this gifted class does not place academic performance above all else, but also pays equal attention to the all-around development of the students.
Therefore, their holidays are much more than conventional students.
And these holidays are not just for fun, but some practical experience assignments are also given.
As top performers among a group of exceptional children, Timmy, Timothy, and Tifanny did their mom, Richelle, proud at the parent-teacher meeting.
However, there will always be some people, for reasons unknown, jealousy or otherwise, who tend to label false allegations on Richelie’s excellent children.
“This is too exaggerated, isn’t it? Three kids, all with perfect scores in all subjects? Are you sure they didn’t cheat?”
Richelle was enjoying taking photos and videos of her three little ones delivering speeches on stage, planning to take them back for the parent at home, who still had a cast on his leg.
However, upon hearing such unpleasant remarks, her mood instantly soured.
But she’s someone who can keep her cool, she didn’t say a word; while still taking photos and videos of her children, her ears perked up to the conversation the other woman was having at the back.
“Well, it’s hard to say, after all, they are children of the Lewis. Have you heard? Last time at summer camp, when the young master of the Lewis family – that one on stage with curly hair – had a minor ailment, they sent a helicopter to pick him up straight away. As for common folk like us, where would we acquire such a privilege? Forget minor ailments, even if we were dying on a mountain, we would have to climb up by foot, with no shortcuts.”
Richelle frowned
Initially, they were just questioning the children’s grades, something for which she didn’t feel the need to clarify because their achievements would eventually shut them up.
But bringing up Timmy’s allergic reaction incident, even now, made Richelle anxious.
So, hearing the woman’s sarcastic remarks, Richelle had the urge to confront her.
However, she was a respectable person and had to save face for her three children.
She managed to contain her anger and continued to listen to the gossip.
“However, it’s not so easy to enter the Lewis household. Look, they already have three children, yet, I heard that the Lewis family hasn’t let the mother in yet.”
Richelle was speechless as she listened; did these people think she was hiding under someone else’s bed?
How on earth were they so confident and assertive in discussing the private matters of her family?
Even her, the person in question, felt compelled to question herself after listening.
Is it really that hard to enter the Lewis house?
The siblings, who were the representatives of the outstanding students, gave their speeches one by one on the stage. The principal wrapped up the children’s academic performance and other activities of the first term with a brief summarization.
After the session, he gave students and parents the liberty to mingle and interact, so that everyone could learn and improve through exchanging ideas.
While the three kids were playing with a few of their friends, Richelle took a cup of juice and approached the two women who had spoken ill of her and her children.
“Hello, I am the mother of the Timmy siblings.”
The two women didn’t recognize Richelle before. They were taken aback when they saw such a beautiful and elegant person standing in front of them. When they heard she was the mother of those three siblings who had just given speeches, they grew flustered.
However, soon enough, they calmed down.
“Hello, Mrs. Lewis.”
Richelle smiled, “You may be mistaken; I am not Mrs. Lewis yet.”
She was never coy about not being Mrs. Lewis yet.
Everyone in Kindur, even in the Federation, who knew about them, knew that she and he were not married yet.
Moreover, she even once seriously told Roy Lewis,
“Roy, I think we’re doing okay now. Apart from not having a marriage certificate, there’s no difference!”
This statement from Richelle almost led to him having angina.
And now, mentioning that, her expression was as composed as ever.
However, to those two parents, her composure made her seem guilty.
You have to admit, when one is envious, their face can turn extremely ugly.
“If we don’t call you Mrs. Lewis, what should we call you, Timmy’s mother? It needs to be said, only when the family is complete – with both parents – can children lead a happy life.”
A hint of mockery flashed in Richelle’s eyes, “Madam, I don’t think my children are unhappy in any way. Yet, with a loose mouth and a despicable nature like yours, I wonder how your child would successfully grow up under your guidance. It must take quite an effort to rebel against such a toxic environment and become successful.”
“You…”, one of the women, who was denounced by Richelle, was at a loss for words. She wanted to come up with something to fire back but found herself speechless.
Seeing her counterpart being “bullied”, the other parent felt compelled to intervene,
“Timmy’s mother, your remark is rather one-sided. Besides, people have the right to criticize us, but it’s better for someone like you, who exploits their privilege, not to..”
