The woman was arrogant and furious.
The kindergarten teacher tried to calm her down, "Ma'am, children pushing each other often happens. They just need the right guidance to settle the quarrel between themselves. Overinvolved with their activities won't help them in long term. The gentleman has asked Lisa to apologize to your son."
"Apologize?" The woman yelled in anger, "We don't need the apology from an orphan!"
Hearing the words, Lisa rushed toward the woman and shouted, "I have mom and dad!"
The woman frowned. She kicked her foot at Lisa, "Dirty orphan, get lost!"
Just when the woman's foot was about to reach Lisa, a hand grabbed her leg.
Henry held Lisa up and glanced at the woman. He said to Lisa, "Be a good girl. Don't waste your energy on rude people."
The woman raised her eyebrows, "What did you say?"
"He said you were rude!" Sylvia walked over. She took a look at Lisa in Henry's arms and then walked toward the woman. She whispered to the woman, "My husband doesn't touch you because you are a woman, but I don't care. If your son weren't here, I could kill you for what you were about to do to my daughter!"
The woman was stunned. Sylvia's threat made her trembling with anger. Her eyes kept glancing at Sylvia, Jenny, and Henry. She pointed toward them and said, "You are bullying a woman! Just you wait!"
The woman took out her cell phone and made a phone call.
Sylvia looked at the woman unchivalrously. She then said to the principal of the kindergarten, who was standing next to her, "The boy will quit the kindergarten. You go and work on the paperwork. We cannot provide proper education for him anymore."
As the owner of the kindergarten, no one could disobey Sylvia's order. The principal immediately went to deal with the paperwork.
"By the way," Sylvia continued, "Children at such a young age need the right influence. Education from their family is important, but it doesn't mean the kindergarten can cut some slack. I want all the children in our kindergarten to grow up as reasonable and respectful citizens. So I don't want to see any segregation of the children from the orphanage among the other children."
The principal nodded, "Yes, you can rest assured."
After the arrangement, Sylvia walked over to Henry and checked Lisa carefully. She was worried about Lisa's health. The unpleasant incident could affect Lisa's problematic heart condition.
Living in an orphanage made Lisa much more mature for her age. After some caring words from Henry, Lisa had let go of the grudge.
"Dad, I know what I did was wrong. The next time someone says bad things about me, I won't push them anymore. I will tell you and mon."
Looking at such a young child who behaved so maturely, Sylvia was heartbroken. Lisa should be spoiled by her parents and enjoy her childhood like all the other children. But in reality, she was forced to face the cruel grown-up world way too soon.
The interlude did not affect the Children's Day celebration.
Milan had a great time with the children from the orphanage. She borrowed a snack booth and made snack cakes for the children. All of a sudden, Milan became second to none favorite person in the kindergarten.
This was the first time Sylvia visited the kindergarten after the construction was finished.
So she and Henry took a tour of the building and inspected the infrastructure. They then visited the principal's office, learning about the children enrolled here.
