A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 317

"I'm usually busy, and my wife is the one who educates the children. I always teach them to get along well with their classmates. But kids, you know, they can't avoid being mischievous," Paul continued with a wry smile.

"Yes, to you, your children are just mischievous. They're just kids having harmless fights—because the ones getting hurt aren't your kids.

"But if it were the other way around—if my brother and I were the ones blocking Erika and Larry every day, slapping them, forcing them to kneel—you wouldn't think it was just harmless fights, would you?

"You'd probably come knocking on our door demanding an explanation! Or maybe even have the school expel us directly!" Demi's voice sounded so cold that even the surrounding people felt the chill.

Paul's smile stiffened up once more.

"Do you feel sorry that Erika and Larry got expelled? I don't think so at all! Scum like them should stay in the gutter and have no place in a prestigious school like Moran Academy! Besides expulsion, I hope they also get a taste of what they did to others.

"That's what true fairness is!" Demi said coldly before she turned and left.

Charles cast a casual glance at Paul and Larry before saying to the lackey pushing his wheelchair, "Let's go."

Paul stood there watching Demi and the other leave. After a long pause, he turned back and started beating Larry furiously while scolding him, "Do you know what I sacrificed to get you into this school? I even had an affair for you to get in!

"I scrimped and saved every penny, sending all my money to your mom so you wouldn't be looked down upon for being poor at this prestigious school!

"How many times have I told you not to get into fights and to leave your old ways from Lindton behind? The students here aren't someone we can afford to provoke! And yet, you still dared to pick a fight?"

"Who told Demi to cause Mom to lose her job?" Larry yelled while shielding his head and dodging.

"In the end, it was your mom who wasn't content with what she had!" Paul stopped his beating and gritted his teeth, cursing.

"No matter what she did, you didn't have to make such a big scene just now! How am I supposed to face people after this?" Larry shouted at his father.

"You think I wanted to? I lost my mind because of her!" Paul snapped, his expression turning furious again. "And do you think that if I hadn't caused a scene, people wouldn't have found out what your mom did?"

As they walked out of the school gates, Larry stammered, "A-Are you really going to divorce Mom?"

"What else do you want to do? Stay in line! If you dare to mess around again, I'll beat you to death!" Paul smacked him again.

Larry stomped his foot and shouted, "Dad, Mom was right—you're just a coward! You let people walk all over you and don't even fight back!"

"What did you say?" Paul flushed red with rage and started beating him again.

…

The next day, Demi arrived with the pills she had promised Charles.

Charles stared at the crystal bottle Demi handed over, and he widened his eyes in surprise.

Did she really need to package a pill in such a valuable crystal bottle?
