The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 366

A flicker of panic flashed in her eyes.

She didn’t know much about this man, but judging from the powerful aura he exuded, it was clear he wasn’t someone ordinary.

While Stella and Neville were reviewing the security footage, Haynes and Rachel arrived as well.

Though Keen hadn’t thrown the first punch, everything had started because of him.

So the school had called in Keen’s parents, too.

When Rachel heard that Keen had been involved in an incident, she assumed Marvin must have lost his temper and gotten into a fight with him, so she came right away.

As soon as the pair stepped into the office, they saw Stella and Neville huddled together, watching the footage intently.

Rachel spoke in a gentle undertone. “Keen, did someone hurt you?”

Keen hesitated, then shook his head.

Rachel’s voice grew even softer, full of reassurance. “You don’t have to be afraid, Keen. If someone’s picking on you, your dad and I will make sure you’re treated fairly.”

Stella didn’t even lift her head at Rachel’s pointed words. She barely spared her a glance, feeling it would be a waste of energy.

The camera angle wasn’t exactly close to the scene, and while there was no audio, the video was perfectly clear.

On the screen, it was obvious—Marvin had indeed struck first.

Stella frowned. “What were those kids saying to make Marvin lash out like that?”

The moment Mrs. Ayers caught sight of Neville and Haynes, her bravado faded. She no longer dared to act as high and mighty as before, and snapped irritably, “Whatever was said, it’s no excuse for that child to hit my son.”

Just then, Keen’s small, hesitant voice piped up.

“Sheldon and the others were trying to bully me. That’s why Marvin stepped in and started the fight.”

Everyone turned to look at Keen.
