Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1627

"Well..." Maisie hesitated on how to proceed.

The children were very young but already had a clear sense of right and wrong. As their teacher, if she couldn't measure up to the children, how could she be a role model for them?

Maisie bit her lip and first checked on James' injuries before taking him to the school infirmary. Then, she returned to take Persephone by the hand and headed to the office for a private conversation.

She placed Persephone in a chair in the office and squatted down in front of her.

"Sephy, I wasn't blaming you for what happened." Maisie smiled and whispered in her ear, "A girl doesn't have the physical advantage to fight with a boy."

In an instant, the little princess' eyes lit up, filled with a mixture of surprise and emotions. Then her tears fell.

"It's alright, it's alright!" She raised her chubby little hand, trying to reassure her teacher. "I'm not hurt, and I'm really good at fighting! Ms. Maisie, don't worry about me!"

"Alright." Maisie patted her head and tidied up her disheveled hair. "Now, can you tell me the whole story of what happened?"

Persephone perked up and began explaining in detail how James had been bullying their classmates, even lifting a girl's skirt. She ended by proudly saying, "Ms. Maisie, don't you worry. This little matter wouldn't even be a blip in the underworld!"

Maisie couldn't help but chuckle. She knew Persephone was close to her grandfather, and her grandfather was none other than the famous Nicholas Thompson. Under such guidance, it was easy to imagine what kind of person she would grow into.

"So, besides fighting with him, have you used other ways to support your classmates?" Maisie asked.

"Of course!" Persephone said honestly. "I made all of them ignore him!"

"You… isolated him?"

Persephone pouted, furrowing her brow in confusion. She didn't quite understand what 'isolating' meant. However, since the teacher said so, it must be right!

"Yes, I isolated him. Is that a problem? My grandpa said that we shouldn't play with little rascals like him!"
