chapter 14 Violet Qin's sadness

The parents and students around Baldwin were horrified by the violent scene before them. They had never seen anyone like Baldwin, who was so savage in their attacks.
"Now it's your turn." Baldwin faced the other parents and students, speaking in a frosty voice.
"Dad, I'm scared. I'm scared... Woooo..."
"Woooo... I want to go home..."
Suddenly, the students who had humiliated Alyssa burst into tears, with two being so frightened that their bodies convulsed and twitched.
At this moment, these young minds discovered that Alyssa, who was constantly bullied by them but never dared to refute them, had a devil-like father.
"We will apologize. We will apologize."
A parent hurriedly dragged his child, running toward Violet.
The others didn't dare to hesitate when they saw this. They immediately pulled their kids toward where Violet was.
"Hey, Alyssa's mom... I... I'm sorry. I... I didn't teach my kid proper manners. Please forgive us and tell your husband not to hit us."
A fearful parent repeatedly bowed at Violet and Alyssa, with tears glistening in her eyes.
Following that, 5 to 6 parents apologized to Violet, begging her for mercy. They worried Violet would ask Baldwin to beat them up out of frustration.
Violet had mixed emotions. She never thought these people would one day apologize to her, and this was all thanks to Baldwin, who had forcefully entered her life and stayed.
A soft-hearted person, Violet said with a stony face, "You guys can leave. I hope you guys will educate your kids properly in the future."
"Yes, yes. We will definitely discipline them well."
…
The parents left in embarrassment after that.
"Alyssa's mom, I'm so sorry. My kiddo..."
Just then, the wretched-looking man who just complained in front of Stan approached Violet.
However, he was interrupted by someone grabbing him on the back of his collar.
"Didn't I say that I might as well beat three people up instead of two because I'm going to jail anyway?" Baldwin's frosty, amused voice sounded from behind the wretched-looking man.
The wretched man's body quivered violently, and he almost peed his pants in shock. Didn't Baldwin say he was going to beat up two people instead of one since he was going to jail? The man mused, "Why did he change his words?"
Woooo....
The wretched man's son slumped onto the ground, scared when he saw what was happening.
Although the wretched man was despicable, he had a young child, so Violet couldn't bear to watch the kid suffer. She advised, "Forget it. Don't traumatize the kid."
The wretched man didn't expect Violet to plead for mercy on his behalf, so he grimaced and stated, "Mis... Mister, she's right. My son is still young and immature. You will traumatize him if you hit me."
Hearing this, Baldwin snorted coldly. "Traumatize? Have you ever thought about how you and your son would traumatize my daughter when your son humiliated her?"
The wretched man and Violet were rendered speechless by his words.
Alyssa was only seven years old but endured everyone's ridicule and humiliation daily. Baldwin couldn't even imagine how traumatized Violet must have been by her experience.
And the culprit behind Alyssa's suffering was not these people who mocked her and her mother, but Baldwin.
Following that, Baldwin looked down at the little boy sitting on the ground and said calmly, "Little bastard, do you know why your father was beaten? That's because you did something wrong, and your father did not fulfill his duties as a father and teach you how to be kind."
Baldwin slapped the man's face as soon as he finished his words.
Just like Stan, the man's jaw was dislocated, and half of his teeth fell out.
Violet turned her head sideways while covering Alyssa's eyes with her hands.
"Let's go. Let's escape before the police arrive." Baldwin patted Violet's back, telling her calmly.
Meanwhile, the little boy was too stunned to cry after hearing Baldwin's words. He seemed to realize that his mistake was the reason that caused his father to receive a slap from Baldwin.
After Baldwin left in a car with Violet and Alyssa, Stan finally climbed from the ground and called the police.
"Hey, I'm... the principal of Chengnan Primary School. Someone is causing disruption and hitting people at our school."
"What? Please make it clear. You're what?"
"Principal..."
"Prin?"
"Principal!"
"What?"
"Fuck you. My teeth have all fallen out, so I can't speak clearly. Come here quick to arrest him!"
"How dare you curse..."
…
An upset-looking Baldwin drove the Chevrolet while Violet and Alyssa hugged each other in the back seat.
Baldwin could see the bitter tears in Violet's eyes through the rearview mirror, but what surprised him was that the young Alyssa actually lifted her hand to wipe away her mother's tears.
"Mother, please don't cry. I'm not sad," Alyssa said in a childish voice.
Sob!
A single sentence from Alyssa made Violet break down and cry. She covered her mouth with her hands, not wanting to make a sound, but the hot tears still flowed down her face uncontrollably.
Violet had endured humiliation by others in the past eight years, but what saddened her the most was that her daughter had to suffer a similar fate as her.
Baldwin gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and the guilt in his within grew more intense. He secretly swore that from today on, he would end the person who dared to humiliate his wife and daughter.
"Why did you send Alyssa to a school like that? I felt like bombing the school to pieces when I thought about the injustice and grievance she must have been through daily," Baldwin fumed. There was a hint of resentment in his words aimed at Violet for her decision to enroll Alyssa in Chengnan Primary School.
Violet furrowed her brows when she heard Baldwin mentioning his idea of blowing up the school, and even Alyssa stared at him timidly.
She retorted unhappily, "Can you not talk about these things in front of Alyssa?"
This was the first time Violet had displayed her tough side before Baldwin.
Baldwin realized that he had broken his promise, so he quickly shut up.
Violet lowered her head and said to Alyssa, "We won't return to that school anymore, Alyssa. I will transfer you to another school. Let's enroll you in Haihua Primary School, where nobody knows who we are."
Alyssa pursed her lips when she heard this. "But the tuition is expensive over at Haihua Primary School. We can't afford it. It's okay, Mother. I'm not afraid of them anymore."
Baldwin felt a heart-wrenching sadness, noticing how Alyssa was so mature for her young age.
"I've successfully secured a good business deal today. We won't be short of money anymore," Violet told her softly.
Alyssa's eyes lit up as she exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"
Violet smiled stiffly and nodded, but there was a trace of glum in her eyes.
It suddenly dawned on Baldwin that Violet hadn't sent Alyssa to a better school because she was financially incapable of doing so.
…
After the family of three returned to their 60-square-meter home, Baldwin discovered that Matthew and Zara were out.
So he asked, "Where are your parents? It's almost dinner time. Did they go out to get groceries?"
Violet shook her head. "I think they went out for mahjong sessions. They won't be having dinner with us."
Hearing this, Baldwin furrowed his brows and stated with displeasure, "You're the only one providing for everyone financially. How can they continue gambling?"
Baldwin was so distressed for Violet that he didn't realize his words would make Violet uncomfortable. After all, they were her parents.
However, the mild-tempered Violet said, "They do this with the neighbors, so it's not like they are going to lose a lot of money."
She didn't tell Baldwin that her parents lost every mahjong session and would take 3,000 yuan or more from her monthly, putting more pressure on Violet, who had to repay the housing loan and provide daily necessities for everyone in the family every month.
That was also why she never got to enroll Alyssa in Haihua Primary School, even if that was what she wanted. After all, Haihua Primary School was a high-end private school with an annual tuition fee of more than 100,000 yuan.
The worry in Violet's eyes never dissipated after they returned home. She suddenly gazed at Baldwin and voiced with mixed emotions, "They will definitely lodge a police report after you beat them up today. The police may be arriving soon."
He sat on the couch, lit a cigarette, and smiled. "It's a bit troublesome, but don't worry about it. I have more important things to take care of currently."
A solemn look appeared on Baldwin's face as he spoke.
Violet's heart tightened, noticing Baldwin's expression. However, Baldwin looked grim and continued, "What are you cooking tonight? I'm starving to death since I did not have lunch."
