The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 573

The chubby kid's parents were shocked to see their son get defeated in a tussle for the first time. The chubby kid was the neighborhood bully, often leaving other kids with bruises and tears. So when their son got a taste of his own medicine, it was a big blow.

The defeated father, red with embarrassment and rage, swung at William furiously. But before his hand could meet its mark, Skyler shoved him away with the strength of a linebacker.

The man stumbled and fell with a thud onto the grass.

At that moment, Leopold, with the urgency of a quarterback rushing to the end zone, sprinted over with his security team. He scooped William up in his arms, shielding him from further harm.

The chubby kid's father clambered to his feet and was blue in the face. Assessing the sudden crowd of towering figures around him, he realized he was no match for them, and his bravado deflated like a balloon.

He glanced at his wife, who quickly took the cue, hoping to get some sympathy or perhaps a bit of cash.

She plopped onto the ground, hugging her son, and cried out theatrically, "Help! They beat my boy up! They're going to kill my boy!"

Skyler, clearly annoyed, covered his ears. "Cut the drama, lady. Your kid started it, and we were defending ourselves."

"Yeah," William chimed in, nodding furiously. "Your son hit me first. I'm only three and a half. Even if the cops come, they won't take your side."

The chubby kid's mom paused, taken aback. She hadn't realized William was only a preschooler.

So, was her twelve-year-old son bested by a toddler?

Aurelia cast a knowing look at the woman. "Ma’am, you better keep an eye on your boy. Don't let him go around picking fights. There's always a bigger fish, and it’s clear that your son met his match today."

The couple, their bravado deflated and their son no longer in pain skulked away defeated.

After the commotion had settled, Skyler and William headed to the miniature train ride.

Leaning close to the boy, Skyler whispered, "You wanna give that bully a Reaper's Stamp?"

William shook his head. "I already kicked him. He's got the punishment. He's a brat, sure, but we can't brand him over a little dispute. Who knows? He might turn out alright when he gets older."

"And what if he gets worse?" Skyler queried.

William scoffed. "The way he acts? A coward to the core. He won't amount to much trouble."
