Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Expelling "Timmy Monroe
As it turns out, her decision at the time was right, little Ian recovered from autism so quickly.
"Little Ian, you have to listen to Daddy in Ravenswood. If you need anything, just tell Auntie Chamberlain to let Grandma know, and Grandma will have it sent to you from abroad right away. There are still some things at the company here that I have to deal with. I won’t be able to go to Ravenswood to be with you until next month."
"Okay, Grandma, don’t worry! Little Ian will behave and listen." The little boy’s obedient expression melted Mrs. Keane’s heart.
Mrs. Keane wished she could fly to Ravenswood right now to accompany Ian Keane. What company matters need handling? Nothing is more important than her precious grandson, but she can’t yet. Ian’s condition just improved, so she has to control herself and wait a bit before going to see her beloved grandson in Ravenswood.

The next day, Ivana Monroe had just dropped the little boy off at Wellbright Kindergarten when she received a call from the school, asking her to come to the principal’s office.
Ivana felt a sense of unease. Could it be that something happened to Timmy at kindergarten?
She immediately set aside her work, left GK, and took a cab to Wellbright Kindergarten.
Principal’s Office.
The principal, vice-principal, Robin Alden, Bella Young, Ian Keane, they were all there.
Upon seeing the little boy, Ivana finally felt relieved. As long as her son was okay, everything else was trivial in her mind.
Ivana walked over to the little boy, reached out, and shielded him protectively in her embrace, asking coldly, "I wonder what’s so urgent from the school that it can’t wait for me to address? Is it right to have Timmy, a six-year-old child, stand here and be subjected to pressure from so many adults?"
The principal opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Bella Young jumped in.
"He feels pressured? He’s the one with a big temper and a hard fist, it’s good enough if he’s not pressuring others, let alone being pressured by someone else."
Bella Young took out a CT scan from a plastic bag and placed it on the principal’s desk, complaining, "Principal, Vice-Principal, take a look at this. This is the CT of my Franklin’s facial bone fracture caused by Timmy Monroe. My Franklin is still lying in the hospital. He’s only six and yet has to undergo brutal facial surgery. The culprit behind all this is Timmy Monroe, this violent child."
Ivana frowned, not believing Bella Young’s words.
On Saturday at the amusement park, could Timmy have really punched Franklin so hard to break his facial bones? That’s just nonsense.
Timmy is also a six-year-old child; how strong could his punch be?
Moreover, to break Franklin’s facial bones with one punch would require an adult’s strength, wouldn’t it?
Ivana wasn’t the only one who was skeptical about Bella Young’s claims, the school staff were too, but seeing Franklin’s facial CT compelled them to believe otherwise.
"Timmy’s mommy, as the teacher of these two children, I must criticize you as a mother for raising such a violent child. You have truly failed as a parent."
"Timmy Monroe is only six, and already he’s breaking a peer’s facial bones. What if he makes a bigger mistake as an adult? Killing someone might not be out of the question. By then, it would be too late for regrets."
Robin Alden is Franklin’s aunt. She had received a stern phone call from her mother the night before, instructing her to ensure her sister-in-law receives justice and to reprimand Ivana and Timmy Monroe.
Robin dared not defy her mother’s instructions, but she also had leverage that Ivana held over her, so she couldn’t directly call for Timmy Monroe’s expulsion; it had to be proposed by Bella Young.
"Mrs. Alden, as a teacher, you should mind your words." Ivana said sternly, "My child does not have violent tendencies; when he grows up, he will be a benefit to society, not a harm."
Ivana straightened her back, speaking with confidence and righteousness.
Robin Alden and the two principals were taken aback by Ivana’s upright demeanor.
No matter if they’re a man or a woman, if a person is filled with false and evil intentions, they could never speak with such confidence and righteousness.
Bella Young loathed Ivana’s defiant stance after causing injury, as if she was justified and in the right.
Bella Young longed to slap Ivana and ruin her smug demeanor.
"Did I just mishear? Your child attacked someone, broke my son’s facial bones, and you claim he doesn’t have violent tendencies? That he will become a useful member of society? No wonder you raised such a son; your indulgence lacks all boundaries. Even if your son killed someone, you’d probably justify it as cleansing society of evil."
Bella Young couldn’t stand Ivana, her anger making her heart shake violently.
"Principals, Wellbright Kindergarten has always emphasized the character of both students and their parents. I find that Timmy Monroe and his mother have some of the lowest, most immoral characters in society. From what I know, Ivana’s ex-husband is Zachary Heston. He divorced her because she fooled around outside and brought back an illegitimate child."
"With such a mother of disordered personal life, it’s no surprise Timmy Monroe turned out violent. However, people like the Monroe family certainly don’t deserve to attend school with the most outstanding families in Ravenswood."
Bella Young spent the weekend gathering some information on Ivana Monroe; she even personally called Ivana’s sister, Michelle Monroe, to learn the situation.
All these claims originated from Ivana Monroe’s half-sister, Michelle Monroe, making them 100% credible.
Bella Young’s revelation of Ivana’s private matters genuinely startled the two principals.
Timmy Monroe was introduced by Stacy Floyd, a big star, as her godson. The principals thought that being the godson of a star, he must come from a distinguished family.
Yet, they never imagined Ivana’s personal life to be so chaotic, and that Timmy Monroe is a product of Ivana’s flings outside?
"Ms. Monroe, is what Ms. Reed said true?" the principal asked. "If it is true, then I’m sorry, your son may indeed not be able to stay at Wellbright Kindergarten."
Molly Mason had just finished a class and heard that Timmy Monroe was taken to the principal’s office by Robin Alden, as if something significant had happened, prompting her to hurry over after class.
"Principal, Timmy is already a student of Wellbright Kindergarten; expelling him this carelessly isn’t right! Moreover, I believe Timmy wouldn’t hit Franklin without reason. Timmy is a well-liked and helpful child in his class, whereas Franklin, I’ve heard from some children, tends to bully others."
"It’s said that on Timmy’s first day of school, he was bullied by Franklin."
Molly Mason ignored the principal’s signals for her not to meddle.
