Jasmine was able to understand some of it.
“But they…” Harley seemed unwilling to accept it.
“Okay, let’s just ignore it. In this world, some people will speak well of you, while others will speak ill of you. No one can be liked by everyone, but we can make ourselves better and make those who speak ill of us become fewer,” said Valda.
Upon hearing this, Harley reluctantly closed his mouth, but still glared at the girl who had spoken earlier.
That girl was the only girl among that group of people.
In the Crypt families, she is also considered a precious little thing.
But in today’s fight, she ended up looking disheveled and her hand was scratched by Harley.
She was originally very angry, but when Harley gave her a fierce look, she immediately spoke up in anger, “Hmph, I won’t pay attention to it. My mommy said that this is just the behavior of the weak. I…”
“Enough.” At this moment, a voice with a hint of childishness yet icy coldness sounded, spoken by a boy who appeared to be around 6 or 7 years old.
And this girl, who is actually two or three years older than the boy, suddenly fell silent because of his words.
Chandler frowned slightly and looked at the boy who had just spoken.
That’s Lornell Quentin, the future heir of the Quentin family. The Quentin family has been passing down their name for several generations, and if nothing unexpected happens, Lornell is the only one who will truly inherit the
Quentin family bloodline in this generation.
In the Crypt families, the Quentin family is definitely considered a powerful force.
Although the Quentin family has only one heir, the depth of their heritage is unknown even to their own elders.
Chandler only knew that his father had once told him to avoid getting into conflict with Lornell unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even Hunter doesn’t want to easily offend the Quentin family.
So even though Lornell is 6 years younger than Chandler, Chandler has never underestimated him.
And now, Lornell suddenly spoke up, causing Chandler to feel a chill in his heart, afraid that Lornell might say something that would further escalate the conflict between the two sides.
At that time, it will only get worse and harder to control.
But to his surprise, what Lornell said was, “Apologize.”
Suddenly, everyone looked at Lornell in surprise, especially the children from the Crypt families.
“Lornell, are you sure you’re not mistaken? You want us to apologize?”
“Yeah, they had more people and beat us up. It’s already good enough if they don’t apologize to us.”
However, Lornell lazily said, “Whoever said those words before should apologize.”
Although it seemed like a casual remark, it made the faces of those few children change.
In the end, four children stood up and walked to Valda, reluctantly apologizing.
Harley widened his eyes and carefully looked at Lornell, only to realize that he was the leader of these people! But… “Why don’t you apologize?” Harley suddenly rushed to Lornell and asked loudly.
This sudden change shocked everyone, especially the responsible people of the hotel who didn’t want to offend either side.
At this moment, he fully understood what it felt like to eat bitter gourd, it was so bitter! But he couldn’t say anything and had to keep a smiling face towards both sides.
Originally, he thought that choosing his hotel to hold the little princess’s birthday banquet was a good thing. But now it seems that it is simply the unluckiest thing ever.
“Why should I apologize when I never said such a thing?” Lornell asked in response.
Harley blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, as if to say… yeah, that makes sense!
She heard these people talking bad about her mother before, but this boy didn’t actually say anything.
Instead, he seemed to have interrupted those people’s conversation.
“So… are you really powerful that they listen to you and apologize? Why do they all listen to you?”
Harley asked again.
“I don’t know, you can ask them,” said Lornell.
After apologizing, the children returned to Lornell’s side and said, “Lornell, let’s go. Don’t waste time talking to this little guy.”
Lornell was about to take a step when Harley suddenly said, “I’m not a little guy, my name is Harley!
What’s your name?” She directed this question towards Lornell.
However, Lornell seemed uninterested in giving his name. As he took a step forward, two little paws suddenly grabbed onto his arm.
Lornell, with his beautiful yet distant face, looked at Harley with some surprise and asked, “Why are you hugging me?” He generally didn’t like to touch girls too much, as he saw them as troublemakers.
Today, I was feeling really bored and decided to join some other people. However, things took a turn for the worse when I ended up getting into a fight because of a girl.
He was still feeling unhappy, and now this little guy had actually hugged his arm directly.
“I want to know your name,” Harley said in a childish voice.
“But I don’t want to say,” Lornell said coldly.
Although he was still young, this innate cold and distant temperament would still create a sense of distance between him and others.
And once he became cold, it would make people inexplicably frightened.
Those children from the Crypt families, led by him, followed his orders. Apart from the Quentin family’s status, part of the reason was Lornell’s cold personality,
“Why?” Harley asked strangely.
“No reason,” Lornell still looked indifferent.
At this moment, Valda walked up and said to her daughter, “Harley, come down.”
“But I want to know his name,” she said.
“If someone is unwilling to speak to you, you should also respect their wishes,” said Valda.
“Oh.” Harley responded with a bit of a sulky tone, letting go of Lornell’s hand. However, she then grinned at Lornell and said, “Anyway, you’ll definitely be willing to tell me your name in the future!”
This smile exudes immense confidence, as if certain that one day in the future, it will come to fruition.
Lomell frowned and let out a cold hum before leaving with the children. Nearby, the bodyguards who had come with the children also left with them.
Next, each mother checked their own child’s wound and provided necessary education.
Grace and Jason are probably the busiest, as all four of their children were involved in the fight.
Fortunately, the youngest Jasmine only acted as a messenger and did not actually join the “battlefield”.
Of course, according to Jasmine, she had originally called for backup and wanted to join the fight, but her sister held her back.
Her sister said that if she participated in the fight, she would be a hindrance and they would have to divide their attention to protect her, which was not worth it.
She thought about it and found it reasonable, so she didn’t participate and instead cheered on the sidelines, waving her flag and shouting words of encouragement.
Grace, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.
However, the youngest daughter didn’t rush in to fight, which was a relief for her. After all, Jasmine has always been physically weak, and who knows what the outcome would have been if she had actually joined the fight!
Among the children, Mick was the most seriously injured, while William wasn’t doing much better. On the other hand, Mason and Jasper were less severely injured.
Jasper was only slightly injured, thanks to William’s protection.
Mason was lightly injured because he is very agile.
Grace was surprised to see Mason joining in the fight, and when she asked her second son why, he simply replied, “Jasmine asked me to help.”
Grace suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. Although Mason is now very aloof towards Grace, he is gradually accepting his family little by little.
Perhaps as Jason said, Mason’s situation will gradually improve with age.
However, although Mason joined the fight, he was not able to completely suppress the other side. This only shows that among those children, there are also some who are skilled in fighting.
“Jasper, you should thank William properly. If he hadn’t protected you today, you could have been hurt!”
Grace said to her daughter.
“I got it. Not only do I have to thank William, but I also have to thank my two brothers!” Jasper sald, sticking out his tongue and adding, “But today, it was my first time getting into such a big fight!”
To speak of it, it’s quite fresh.
After all, usually just mentioning the name of the Reed family is enough to deter people from laying a hand on her.
Today is also considered as a life experience!
Grace let out a tired sigh and said, “Today, I finally understand how it feels to be a mother when your child gets into a fight with others.”
So, having more children means the amount of worry and concern for them also increases exponentially!
On the other hand, Harley was still lamenting her amusement park.
After returning to the villa, when Valda was giving her a bath and washing her hair, she pitifully said,
“Mommy, I got into a fight today. Does that mean I can’t go to the amusement park? I really want to go. How about…you give me another task to do? I promise I’ll complete it!”
The little one started bargaining.
Valda looked at her daughter’s pleading expression and said softly, “Mommy and Daddy will take you to the new amusement park, just like we said before.”
“Really?” Harley’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Yes, really,” Valda said. “Although it was wrong for you to fight today, you did it to protect Mommy.
Mommy is very happy. Our
Harley is braver than Mommy thought.”
Harley’s little face turned red and she seemed a bit embarrassed. “Mommy really thinks…I’m brave?”
