My Precious Family [Jenlisa]

Chapter 122: Principal's office

When Jennie woke up in this body, she heard that the school summoned Lisa because Jevin hurt his classmate. From what she heard, Jevin caused his classmate a nosebleed after punching him. She didn't bring up the topic, knowing Lisa already resolved the matter. Moreover, Jevin wasn't hurt.     

However, who would have thought that her advice would only lead to what she feared the most? That was Jevin getting hurt at the hands of another.     

Just because she told him to be good, Jevin allowed another kid to hurt him. Despite that, he was more worried about what his mother would think. He was even more concerned if she was disappointed in him instead of his nosebleed.     

How could a mother not have her world crumble with such questions?    

"I'm sorry." A tear suddenly rolled down Jennie's cheek, trying her best to keep herself together. "I'm sorry."    

Jennie lowered her head, wiping the blood on Jevin's upper lip. Meanwhile, Jevin sported a frown as he watched his mother shed tears. He glanced at his father, who was sitting beside Jennie.     

Lisa was quiet, staring at him and then at Jennie's trembling back. His expression was dark and his eyes could even freeze hell.     

'He's angry,' Jevin thought, knowing his father too well. It was rare for Lisa to get angry, but when he does, Jevin would always be quiet. Not just Jevin, but anyone who knew Lisa would stay quiet for their own sake.     

"Ahem!" the principal cleared his throat, keeping his eyes on Jevin. "We have already given the children first aid kit —"    

"I don't see it." Lisa coldly cut off the principal before taking his phone out. He raised a finger at the principal as he sped dialed Jisoo's contact number. "Get a doctor in here asap. My son is having a nosebleed."    

"Yes, sir —"    

Lisa didn't even wait for Jisoo to finish his answer as he hung up, setting his attention back on the principal. "Direct to the point, principal. I don't think I can spare enough patience today. Tell me what happened and how my son got beaten while within the premises?"    

The principal momentarily held his breath and swallowed a mouthful of air. He could feel Lisa's dissatisfaction deep into his bones, revealing how this man was not pleased with this situation.     

"According to the students —"    

"From the students?" Lisa didn't even wait for the principal to continue as he immediately pointed out what was wrong in that unfinished sentence. "Is there no teacher around to supervise the children?"    

"Ah, well." The principal sighed, glancing to his side where the two teachers in charge of the class stood. "The teachers left for a moment to grab some materials for the class, but when they came back, Jevin and Yun were already wrestling."    

The principal bowed his head, hands on his thigh. "I admit we have our shortcomings, Mr Manoban. This wouldn't happen if they didn't step out, even for a second. We are sorry that this happened."    

Sorry?    

In most cases, hearing someone apologize sincerely was enough. However, why did this word sound so painful to listen to? Was apologizing the only thing they could do?    

Jennie scoffed as she slowly raised her eyes at the principal. He was bowing deeply to show his sincerity, even the other two teachers standing on the side were bowing. They were acknowledging their shortcoming, but alas, Jennie just couldn't find that acceptable.     

"My son!" Before Jennie and Lisa could express their displeasure, a woman's voice rang inside the principal's office. "Oh, my god! My baby!"    

A woman showed up by the door, rushing to the seat across from Jennie, Lisa, and Jevin. She scoffed in disbelief as she cupped her son's face with both her hands, assessing the slight bruise on little Yun's face.     

Unlike Jevin, little Yun didn't seem he was hurt. At least, not where others could see.     

"Who!" The woman's breath hitched, glaring daggers at the family of three across from her. Her eyes instantly fell on Jevin and the sight of him filled her eyes with rage. "You again!! What did you do this time, hah!? This brat — how dare you hurt my little Yun —"    

The woman almost bit her tongue when she lifted her gaze, only to see Lisa's icy countenance. But what surprised her the most was that familiar woman she kept bumping into.     

"You!" the woman pointed at Jennie, wide-eyed. "What is this woman doing here?! No, principal! How can you let this psychopath inside these premises?!"    

The woman gasped as she cast the principal a look. The latter also didn't know, as Jennie only arrived with Lisa Manoban. Now that the woman mentioned it, the principal couldn't help but wonder as well.     

Who was this woman?    

"Are you here to hurt my little Yun?! Are you the one who..." the woman trailed off as she darted her eyes between Jennie, Lisa, and Jevin. Her mouth fell open.    

No.    

Her guess wasn't correct, right?    

That psychopath wasn't with the Manoban's, right?    

"Mommy." Little Yun tugged his mother's hand, glaring daggers at Jevin. "Jevy is so violent! I was just exposing his lies about his mother making him a lunchbox. But he kept lying to everyone that he had a mommy!"    

The child's mother almost choked as she looked back at her son.    

"I'm sorry. I should've listened to you and stayed away from him, but I just can't allow him to lie to everyone," the child continued with a pout. "I told him it was fine to have no mother, but he just attacked me. Mommy is right. A child without a mother is violent..."    

The woman covered her son's mouth, but it was too late. What her son said was enough for Jennie and Lisa to know what truly happened.    

"I warned you, didn't I?" Jennie balled her hand into a tight fist, slowly rising from her seat with her fiery eyes fixed on the mother and child. "I told you to discipline your son."    

"What — what are you doing?" The woman stuttered as Jennie walked over to the coffee table between them, and without further ado, grabbed her by the collar. "Kya!! What are you — help!!"     

Jennie's grip around the woman's collar tightened. "Maybe... your life is enough to quench my anger," she announced under her breath.     

"I'll know once I did." As soon as those words rolled out of her tongue, she swiftly let go of the woman and kicked the back of her feet, causing the woman to fall. Jennie immediately pounced on her, holding the woman's neck as she strangled her to death.

"I told him it was fine to have no mother, but he just attacked me. Mommy is right. A child without a mother is violent..."    

Jennie blinked ever so tenderly, calming herself. The moment she looked at the mother and son, she already thought of various methods of hurting them, varying from strangling to setting them on fire. However, she didn't do that even though she had long sold her morals and soul to the devil as Jane.     

Hurting them would only prove their point. For the sake of Jevin, Jennie could only clench her teeth and grip her hands so she wouldn't throw them senselessly. Lisa also placed his hand on top of her hand, remembering her request to not let go of her.
