Chapter 129 Flora had just scrolled through several trending topics and had a rough idea of what was going on.
She put away her phone and glanced at Kaylee, who was visibly sweating from fear.
Flora thought Kaylee was afraid of being scolded by her mother when she arrived. Such a good girl, always worried about troubling her parents.
Flora spoke up to reassure her, "Don't be afraid. You're the victim in this situation; your mom won't blyou." Kaylee bit her lip, not saying a word.

The woman was wearing a simple charcoal dress, her hair meticulously done up, without a hair out of place.
Her piercing gaze swept across the room, finally landing on Kaylee.
The sound of high heels on the floor was somewhat jarring as the woman bypassed Kaylee's shoulder and headed towards Mr. Trevor.
"Good day, I'm Kaylee's mother." "Good day, Ms. Faith." Mr. Trevor extended his hand, greeting her politely.
Ms. Faith asked about Kaylee's school life, and Mr. Trevor naturally chose the nicest things to say. "Kaylee is a very well-behaved student, always listens in class, and is well-liked by the teachers. She has made significant progress recently, having ranked in the top fifty twice." Ms. Faith's expression was cold, as if being in the top fifty was still not enough for her.
"I have dealt with this incident strictly. Those girls have been suspended. Kaylee's situation is somewhat special, as she faces srisks at school, which is why we asked for a parent to pick her up." "I support the school's decision. It was originally Kaylee's fault. If she hadn't shown off, participating in sfashion contest, none of this would have happened." What did she mean by it being Kaylee's fault? Flora frowned upon hearing this.
Had she not witnessed it herself, Flora would not have believed that the formidable woman before her could be Kaylee's mother.
"Ms. Faith, Kaylee is truly the victim in this situation. She's already suffering enough. I don't think what you're saying is right." Hearing Flora's words, Faith turned to look at her.
Having spent years in the business world, she had an inherent authority that made many young people instinctively fear her, like her daughter, who always acted timidly in her presence.

"Are you Flora?" Faith asked calmly.
Flora nodded.
"Kaylee often mentions you. Her improvement in such a short tis largely thanks to you. I appreciate that, thanks you."
Faith paused before continuing, "But if there are similar competitions in the future, where one has to be in the spotlight I hope you won't take Kaylee to participate. She's too soft, too weak, lacks conviction, and it's not for her. It would only waste her time." "Flora, I'm sorry about my mom."
Kaylee awkwardly laughed a couple of times, then stepped forward and whispered to Faith, Mom, can we talk about this back at home? Let's not continue here." Her voice even carried a plea. Everyone present could see her embarrassment and discomfort.
"Do you even know you're embarrassing yourself?" Faith didn't spare Kaylee any dignity, "When you followed others advice, and participated in that worthless contest, didn't you think about the embarrassment then?" "Mom!" Kaylee's voice trembled as she clutched Faith's handbag, shaking "Let's just go home, okay? Let's go...." Faith frowned, looked at her for a while, then stepped forward, leading the way out the door.
