Of the Miss Lyra stories I have ever read, perhaps the most impressive one is The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance. The story is too good, leaving me with many doubts. Currently, the manga has been translated to Chapter 362. Let's read the author's The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance Miss Lyra story right here.
But these boys towering over Sheldon were different.
Not only did they team up with other kids to mock and ostracize him, they also shoved him around whenever they pleased.
He never stood a chance against the three of them.
Seeing Marvin wisely walk away, Sheldon felt a wave of smug satisfaction.
He turned to Keen with a nasty grin.
“So, not fitting in so well at your new preschool either, huh? None of these kids look eager to help you out. Who cares how smart you are, or how perfect your grades are, when nobody actually likes you?”
He leaned in, lowering his voice just enough to make sure Keen heard every word.
“The other day, my mom said your mom barely finished high school and can hardly even read. Not like us—kids from real private schools.”
Sheldon glanced at the other children, his eyes gleaming with mean delight.
“I bet they don’t know about your pathetic mom and all the embarrassing things she’s done, do they?
Well, even if they don’t, it won’t be long before everyone finds out.”
Marvin had already started to walk away.
But when he caught those last words, he froze mid-step.
He spun around, glaring at the three boys crowding around Keen. “What did you just say?”
Sheldon saw Marvin stop and assumed he’d taken the bait.
He smirked. “What, you want to hear about all the humiliating things Keen’s mom has done?
Ha! Last time at Keen’s birthday party, she fell flat on her face in front of everyone! It was hilarious.”
Keen blurted out, trying to defend his mom, “Someone tripped her! That’s why she fell…”
The truth was, it had been Jasper Wilkinson’s troublemaking friends who’d stuck out a leg and deliberately sent Stella Cameron sprawling.
Not only did they show no remorse, they even snickered and made snide remarks about it.
Afterward, Deanna O'Brien didn’t care about the details—she just scolded Stella for disgracing the O’Brien family and told her never to show up at their events again.
Haynes O'Brien only gave Jasper a half-hearted scolding, never bothering to punish the ones who’d actually caused the mess.
