Under the Heiress' Facade -
Chapter 124
"I didn't use a stone on him. He hit his head on his own!" Gino defended himself.
However, Hera's focus was elsewhere.
"So it was you who started the fight? And you lost?"
Gino remained silent.
"How embarrassing," Hera remarked.
"Go back and ask Mommy to enroll you in a martial arts class."
Gino's head snapped up in surprise as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Not only Gino but Violet and Quincey were also astonished by Hera's approach to educating him.
They couldn't believe that Hera was encouraging him to make mistakes without learning from them,even supporting him to learn martial arts. It was as if she were preparing him for another fight nexttime.
"Oh my! Kids from the poor countryside are so barbaric! Are they planning to get into another fight?"
Yana exaggeratedly remarked, "Ms. Woodwick, I think students who stir up trouble like this shouldbe expelled!"
"Well..." Violet was somewhat conflicted.
Gino was in first-grade Class A, while Eugene was in third-grade Class K. Their futures were clearlydifferent.
Moreover, Violet had heard that Eugene often caused trouble at school. The fact that they engagedin violence together implied it wasn't a one-sided conflict, and it wasn't certain who had sufferedworse injuries.
However, Gino and Hera's influence was weaker than the Ergols with the Everett family'sbankruptcy. However, the stubborn Gino turned a situation that could have been resolved amicablyinto this mess.
"Why should I be expelled? If anyone should be expelled, it's this fatso!"
Gino was anxious at the thought of being expelled.
"I got in here on my own merit, not through connections like you—"
"Shut up!" Hera interrupted him coldly.
Gino glared at her with reddened eyes, wondering if she was on his side or theirs.
But when he saw Hera's cold gaze, he clenched his fists and remained silent.
"How do you want to handle this? Do you want it to be settled formally or privately?"
Hera turned her gaze toward Yana.
Yana, thinking they were backing down, sneered and boasted, "We can settle this privately if youwant. First, ask your useless brother to kneel and apologize to my son! Then we'll consider a privatesettlement."
Then, she deliberately stepped aside as if making room for them.
Gino exploded at her suggestion.
"Dream on! I did nothing wrong! It was this fatso who started spewing nonsense first! I won'tapologize to him! If anyone should apologize, it's him!"
Hera raised her hand and pulled Gino behind her.
"When you make a mistake, you should apologize," she said firmly.
Gino widened his eyes at her. Just as he was about to explode again, Hera pressed down on hishead with one hand to signal him to calm down.
"What are you waiting for? Kneel and apologize!" Yana crossed her arms and sneered arrogantly.
"Before that, your son insulted my brother first, prompting him into action! Shouldn't your son kneeland apologize first?" Hera countered coldly.
On her way to the clinic, Hera had already learned the gist of the situation from the young boy wholed her.
During lunchtime, on the way to the cafeteria, Gino happened to overhear Eugene and hisclassmates discussing the top ten candidates for the school Belle and Hunk election.
It was a hot topic during school breaks, which was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, the precocious and lecherous Eugene had made inappropriate remarks about Hera,making Gino extremely uncomfortable.
