The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1387

"Baby, listen up. Your explanations won't do any good to those who are out to get you. The more you freak out, the happier they are. So, when you encounter such people, don't waste your breath explaining. Just hit 'em back. Like, 'Why do you stink so much? You sick or something? Or did you step on something nasty?'"

"All you need to do is shift everyone's attention to that person."

At first, Ivy was a bit confused by these words.

She was always taught to stay silent and be polite, even if someone was in the wrong.

But just now, a boy said something insulting about her mother, and Ivy felt she had to respond.

So, she did as her mom suggested, and surprisingly, it worked.

"That's good," Molly sighed in relief.

At that point, Ableson arrived.

"Ivy, why did you come down by yourself?" Ableson took Ivy's backpack with a worried look, "Has anyone been picking on you?"

"Nope," Ivy winked at her friends, who kept quiet.

Ableson let out a sigh of relief: "That's good. Let's go."

Ivy nodded, glancing around subconsciously.

This was the first time she was picked up from school without her dad.

She felt sad inside, her eyes slightly swollen.

As she walked out of the school gate, she spotted Hilaria with her silver hair. Seeing her eased Ivy's mood.

"Granny!" She shouted and ran over to hug Hilaria.

Hilaria laughed, "Surprise, huh?"

"Yeah!"

When Ivy first started school, Hilaria was abroad. This was her first time picking Ivy up.
