Even if Mrs. Bayer had some influence, she couldn't compete against these famous wealthy families on her own. Plus, her son had gotten into trouble with the young Hamerton heiress!

Even if Ruth was slow, she knew what mattered most in this situation. This matter couldn't be smoothed over!

Maisie was there, too. Faced with Mrs. Bayer's irrational behavior, she calmly said, "Mrs. Bayer, it was James who provoked the other children first."

"But my son got beaten up. That's a fact!"

Maisie smiled. "By your reasoning, this should only be children playing around."

Mrs. Bayer was furious. "What kind of teacher are you? How can you say that?"

"When James was causing trouble, that's how you described it. So, I assume that's your logic. Why, Mrs. Bayer? When your son bullies others, it's just children playing, but when someone hits him back, it's their fault? Mrs. Bayer, it seems you have quite the double standard!"

Mrs. Bayer's eyes widened, her chest heaving. She glared at Maisie for a long time before a strange, sly smile crossed her lips. "Ms. Squire, you probably don't know who James' future stepfather is, do you?" Maisie furrowed her brow. "It's none of my business who his future stepfather is. Mrs. Bayer, you're here to resolve this issue, not to show off your family members."

"Are you sure it's none of your business?" Mrs. Bayer stepped forward with her arms crossed in provocation.

Maisie was skeptical but didn't get a chance to respond before Ruth said impatiently, "We don't care about who James' future stepfather is! But if you want to know who the fathers of the children your son bullied are, I can introduce them to you one by one!"

Mrs. Bayer was appalled and yelled at Ruth, "I know the kids in your kindergarten are from influential families! Hah! You're snobs picking on us, single mother and son!"

"Ma'am, you just asked if we know who James' future stepfather is. How are you a single mother now?"

Mrs. Bayer leered at Ruth before walking away with a parting shot of, "We'll see!"

Ruth slumped back in her chair, gasping for breath. "She's infuriating, truly infuriating... How can there be such an absurd parent? I'll find a way to kick her son out of here!

"Oh, Ms. Squire, did she submit the enrollment application form the last time she came?"

Maisie finally came to her senses and noticed the application form on the table, which was likely left there by Mrs. Bayer.

"Hah! She actually filled it out!" Ruth gnashed her teeth. "But even if she did, it won't count! Under my jurisdiction, I will absolutely not allow a child with such poor manners to be a troublemaker here!" Maisie took a look at the form, which was left empty in the father's section, and the mother's section was filled out with Sophia!

Her heart skipped a beat, and the confusion in her mind darkened like a gathering storm.

'Could all of this be a coincidence? This Sophia, who claims to be "Mrs. Bayer"... Is she the woman from Graham's phone?' she wondered.

Maisie's mind was in turmoil, her temples were throbbing, and her head was aching in waves.

"No wonder she said she's a single mother." Ruth sneered. "So, it turns out the child has no father. It seems like this woman might be a mistress kept by some wealthy man, making her own bed of thorns. She's even dragging her child into it! Don't you think so, Ms. Squire?"

Ruth noticed Maisie's pale complexion. "Ms. Squire? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
