Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1828

As soon as Asher stood up, the boy grabbed him.

"I heard you're really amazing, but why don't your parents ever come? My dad is the general manager of a publicly traded company. Is your dad as important as mine?"

Asher remained silent, not even bothering to respond. However, his indifference further angered the boy.

The boy, Bryce Charlton, suddenly punched Asher in the stomach.

Asher, being frail, could not withstand the force and fell to the ground. He scrambled up and tried to run to find Adora, but Bryce and his friends were faster.

They quickly caught up to him and dragged him into the bathroom.

Another boy was just washing his hands when he saw Bryce pour water all over Asher. He was so scared that he ran away.

Asher was drenched but stubbornly kept his mouth shut and held his head high, staring straight at Bryce.

"Your mom and dad don't come to school because you're a sickly kid that no one cares about. Unlike my dad, who sponsors the school library. Can your dad do that?"

"Yeah, he and Adora are just unwanted kids!"

Asher was usually not affected by such words but hearing the words "unwanted kids" dimmed the light in his eyes.

…

Sheena had just finished her work and was about to take a breather when she received a call from Mavis.

"Sheena, Asher was bullied at school…"

Sheena sprang up from her chair.

"Is he hurt? Who did it? Who's the other kid?"

Mavis shared everything she knew with Sheena.

While listening, Sheena and Elliot booked the next flight back.

She hurriedly wrapped up her work and rushed home, deeply worried about Asher the entire way.

Asher always kept things to himself, and he was mature beyond his age.

This was also what fueled Sheena's worry the most.

Adora stood by his side, her little face stern, pointing at Bryce.

"Auntie Mae, it was him! He bullied Asher and splashed water on him."

Bryce's grandmother, Clara Trevino, stood up and retorted angrily, "Did you see Bryce splash water on him? You're just a kid, yet you're already lying! It's no wonder, considering the kind of upbringing you must have!"

She looked Mavis up and down with disdain.

Mavis had rushed over without thinking twice about her outfit, wearing simple clothes and no jewelry, which only fueled Clara's contempt.

Samuel had warned Clara about the children's guardians, but seeing Mavis, Clara thought little of their importance.

She thought if Bryce were to choose a godmother, he would definitely have someone who was powerful and influential.

Mavis had never dealt with such situations before. Besides, her naturally gentle nature and good upbringing prevented her from lashing out, even though she was furious.

For a moment, she struggled to find the right words to respond.

Clara sensed her hesitation and pressed on. "This is just a minor dispute among kids. There's no need to make a fuss over a little thing. Adults should know better. So, what do you propose we do to settle this?"
