Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 137

It was so promising to see my son performing his sibling's duty, his friendship with Jane had helped him to move on with blood bonds. Zoe was a quiet and shy child to begin with, he found it hard to adjust in my Villa after Leo's abduction. His silence brimmed my heart with doubts and fears, I was frightened of the notion of losing my child again.

However, this small clip was reassuring, I felt at ease when Zoe spoke gently.

"Take my chocolate, Jane. You will feel better!"

It was like I could now breathe freely after a long marathon, relishing the luxury of being a mother. I slumped into my chair calmly. It was a great sense of relief that Miss Alicia praised Zoe's thoughtful approach.

"Zoe is a young boy, but his emotional intellect is superior to his peers.

He can feel and process the shock we adults find difficult to get over with.

But …"

She paused abruptly, hanging an unnecessary sword of dramatic pause above my head. The slight change in her pleasant face caught my eye as she uttered gravely.

"But there's something else you must know, Miss Laura. This matter isn't as simple as it seems!"

Bright read the file and took the pictures to alert his assistant, he wasn't in the mood for more details. He halted Miss Alicia in her speech.

"We have seen enough, Miss Alicia. The names of bullies with proof are more than enough for me to confront those kids' parents.

Your work here is done, leave the rest to me."

As he was blinded by rage, and forgot to thank her, I hit his foot with my heels, trying to send some sense to the upper story of that pole-like man.

Hopefully, a miraculous lift system could transport my obvious hint!

It was fortunate that Bright was back to normal after one caution, he thanked them on our half behalf.

"We are grateful to you for paying special attention to our princess's case. This institution is undoubtedly the best choice for young minds."

Mr. Rupert was overjoyed by sappy words of admiration; he blushed like a newlywed bride.

"You are so kind, Mr. Bright. We just strive to create a healthy atmosphere for the future of Lakon city."

During this formal interaction, I noted growing anxiousness on Miss Alicia's countenance, she was restless like a fish without water. Darting her eyes from one corner to another, she sought help from every person in the hall, but no one paid any heed to her vexation.

Eventually, she rushed to me and spoke hurriedly.

"You must hear me once, Miss Laura. I wish to share important information about Jane's bullying."

She held my hand at once, begging for a chance. My ears perked up when she said, eyeing her laptop.

"Jane wasn't bullied out of spite, Miss Laura. A kid is behind this planned act …"

"Jane's bullying wasn't a sudden incident, but a preplanned disturbance!"

Surprise me!

That long introduction had already tested my tolerance, so this request of self-restraint felt burdensome. I focused on the laptop screen to uncover this mystery. The indulgence of a student was a severe allegation for a pre-school.

"Do you know that Jane's father is Mr. Leo, the famous ice hockey star?"

The time and date of the video was the very first thing that startled me, it was the same day when this news was posted on social media.

A group of six kids sitting around the lunch table were discussing that latest trend. I questioned the discipline of school for this.

"Zoe, isn't Uncle Leo your dad? Then how come Jane is her daughter?"

The kid named Alex bombarded my apparently ignorant kid with his queries.

"Your mom and dad are separated; they don't live together. So, when was Jane born?

It must be a fake trend!"

I re-checked the list and read Alex's name on the bully's list; he was the grandson of a famous criminal lawyer in the city. His grandpa was an upright, modest man. I took out my cell phone to call him instantly, he should be aware of his grandson's exemplary conduct.

However, my hand froze midair when I heard Zoe's cold voice, he wiped his face and spoke.

"Jane is my biological sister. My dad told me before Christmas."
