bChapter /b11

“How old bare /byou that you are still arguing with a child?”

Charlotte was stunned, knowing full well that he wouldn’t believe her, but his tant favoritism still stung her.

She looked at him with a sour expression in her eyes, holding back btears/bb, /bI didn’t push bhim /bbat /bball/bb!/bb” /b

Jaxsonughed, bAre /byou saying a child of ba /bfew byears /bold tripped and bframed /bbyou/b?b” /b

Charlotte’s heart trembled.

Why bother exining when I knew he wouldn’t believe me….

She blowered /bbher /bbeyes/bb, /btrying to regain herposure, “Meeting you guys bis /bjust my bad luck, okay?”

She turned around to bleave/bb. /b

“Stop.”

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then didn’t look back.

Collin is just a kid bafter /ball, why bother arguing with him,” bJaxson /bsoftened his tone, “Apologize to Collin.”

b“/bbJaxson/bb, /bmaybe we should just bforget /babout it…” Caroline spoke up for her.

His eyes bwere /bcold, “If you make a mistake, you admit it and apologizeb./bb” /b

Charlotte clenched her fingers, her nails almost sinking into her palm, but she seemed to have forgotten the pain.

She turned slowly, looking directly at Jaxson, pointing to the surveince bcameras /bunder the bstreetlight /bnot bfar /baway, “Heavenwood Apartments bare /bfull of surveince cameras. Can’t byou /bbgo /bcheck the bsurveince /bbefore trying to be a hero?”

“If I did something wrong in the surveince, I bcan /bapologizeb, /bbut if it’s not my fault, bdon’t /bexpect me to apologizeb!/b”

Charlotte didn’t look at him again, she turned around and left.

bJaxson’s /bchest suddenly tightened, his face darkened slightly.

Caroline was just thrown into a panic by the word “monitoring“. She was breally /bafraid that Jaxson would check the bsurveince /bfootage. She grabbed bJaxson /band said, “Jaxson, let it go. Collin wasn’t hurt, and I believe Dr. Sutton didn’t do it on purposeb./b”

She absolutely couldn’t let Jaxson go to see the surveince footage, then quickly changed the bsubject/bb, /b“Jaxson, Collin bis /babout to bete, let’s go first.”

Jaxson pulled his arm out, “I have informed the principal, byou /btake Collin over there, she will barrange /beverything, I have a meeting.”

He went straight back to the car.

Caroline tightened her grip as she watched Jaxson drive away, but she bforgot /bshe bwas /bstill holding Collin’s hand.

“Mom, I’m in pain.”

Collin was pinched by her.

Caroline came to her senses, slowly crouched bdown /band bgrabbed /bhis bshoulders/bb, /bher beyes /bgloomy, with a hint bof /bsatisfaction, “Collin, you did bvery /bwell this time, excellent.”
