Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2787

You Are A Murderer

Lucius had heard about this a long time ago but he could not believe that his mother was a wicked woman.

Soon, the class meeting began. The class teacher was on stage, introducing the arrival of important guests. He seemed a little excited but after waiting for a long time, Lucius did not see the class teacher ask Joan to speak. On the contrary, Joan was expecting this.

"Next, I will ask a parent of our classmate, Faith Lee, to speak to us. A round of applause, please."

Instantly, the sound of clapping filled the air but Lucius hung his head and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. It turned out that even the school was so realistic.

"Teacher!" Suddenly, Lucius stood up and everyone in the class looked at him incredulously.

"Didn't you say that my mom would be allowed to speak?" Lucius asked bluntly and immediately the class began to murmur.

"Who does he think he is? He's just a little kid..."

"Keep it down! His mother just killed someone."

Everyone began to mock them in very rude tones while Joan immediately tugged at the corner of his shirt, trying to make him sit down. "Oh, Lucius. Today, I'd like Faith Lee's parents to speak." The homeroom teacher replied very tactfully and Lucius sat down dejectedly. Joan gathered the child in her arms and sniffed, feeling heartbroken.

After the parent-teacher conference was over, Joan and Lucius were still in their seats feeling dazed and their faces looked solemn.

"Mom, I'm sorry." The child who was feeling guilty suddenly raised his head and apologized.

What's going on? Puzzled, Joan gazed at her child, waiting for him to explain.

"I didn't protect you properly when so many people were gossiping about you just now because I didn't have the ability to defend you..." Suddenly, the child broke out in tears.

At this instant, Joan was heartbroken. While brushing away Lucius' tears, she comforted him, "My child, it's all my fault so don't cry and let's go home, alright?"

How could this be his fault? It was me who brought this upon him, wasn't it? Joan sighed and tried to control her inner feelings of turmoil. She had thought that Lucius would blame her but unexpectedly, the child loved her so much.

"Mrs. Norton!" Suddenly the homeroom teacher entered the room, trying helplessly to explain. "I'm sorry for what happened today. At the last minute, I was given the notice so I had to change the plan." "Villainess, villainess!" At the entrance of the school, a few children kept circling around Lucius and Joan, shouting. The scene was very embarrassing.

In a panic, Lucius ran towards them, shouting, "You all are liars!"

Joan was at a loss, not knowing what to do. She had no intention of fighting against children but they were hurting Lucius.

Finally, Lucius could hold back no longer.

Thump! One of the children fell down as Lucius hit him.

Ahh! There was a sharp scream and Joan came back to her senses. Hurriedly she helped the boy up and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?" "Mommy!" The child yelled out loud.

"Darling son, what happened?" Suddenly, a woman in glamorous clothes ran over.

"Mommy, he hit me!" The child pointed at Lucius and screamed pitifully.

In an instant, the woman got up and walked towards Lucius, her eyes filled with cruelty.

Slap! Her palm hit Lucius right across his face and the boy's face turned red with the impact. Lucius looked up at the woman with a cold stare.

"What are you doing? Your mom is a murderess and you beat up people here?" The woman spoke without a shred of politeness.

Joan quickly ran in front of Lucius, shielding him from any further assault. "Madam, please behave!"

Joan's voice was full of anger and sadness.

"Behave? Tell me what I should do then, to behave properly! You are a murderess and you have no right to preach to me." There was a slight disdain in the woman's tone.
