Maisie picked up the phone and was met with a barrage of shouting. "Ms. Squire, is this how you teach children?
Allowing them to fight without intervening? Is this how you set an example?!"
Maisie felt frustrated but patiently explained, "Ma'am, I've talked to you about James' issues before—"
"Stop with the excuses!" the woman interrupted arrogantly. "My son is being bullied in your class, and I won't let this
slide. You'll see!"
With that, she hung up.
Maisie shook her head and sighed. Working at this kindergarten had always been one of her most enjoyable
experiences. She loved children and the environment, feeling fortunate to have a job she was passionate about.

Daniel looked at her with concern and asked, "Is there a problem? Do you need me..."
"It's okay," Maisie replied, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I can't trouble you anymore. I'm a teacher, and it's my
responsibility to handle conflicts with parents. You don't need to worry about it."
"Alright."
"Mr. Quimby, I'm a bit tired. I'd like to rest now. You should head back early, too."
Daniel nodded and watched her go upstairs.
As for the woman who had just called, he had already guessed the situation roughly.
At that moment, his subordinate called, "Mr. Quimby, just as you expected... Graham Bayer is indeed raising
someone else's child!"
"Oh?" Daniel squinted.
"He has had a girlfriend abroad for a long time. That woman got a divorce and brought along a young boy, around
four or five years old. The expenses he's been incurring for them... is not a small sum!"
Daniel took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
One day, Maisie would have to face all of this, and one day, she would be hurt.
What he hoped for now was that her feelings for Graham weren't too deep. She wouldn't be hurt as long as she
didn't get too deeply involved.
"What has he been doing recently?" he asked in a deep voice.
The subordinate thought for a moment and replied, "The Bayers have been investing in the mining industry
recently."

"But the stock prices in the mining sector have been unstable. Graham could make a lot of money, or he could
incur losses."
"Yes, boss. He is quite impulsive in certain aspects, which doesn't seem like his parents' personalities..."
"I heard that his grandfather, Kelly's father, Joe Tanner, kept a mistress' daughter for over 20 years, nearly driving
his wife to death. Hah! Graham seems to have inherited the Tanner genes in this aspect!"
"Mr. Quimby, what should we do next?"
"Contact Fat Lawler," Daniel said with an icy glint in his eyes. "I believe he would be willing to help."
The next day, Mrs. Bayer stormed into the kindergarten, heading straight for Ruth's office. She caused a scene,
making the already angry Ruth even more furious.
Ruth was unwilling to offend the influential people behind the children at this kindergarten for her sake. Just imagine
the kind of background the children there had...
