Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 572

Half a month later, at Wilson’s residence, Jasper had been in preschool for almost 20 days. They had

always performed better. Although they didn’t talk much, they

didn’t bully others or argue with others. in short, they were praised every time they picked them up.

The child who had been praised today was informed to fight. When Natalie received the call, she did

not react for a moment. After a while, she asked Ella the

reason.

According to Ella, they fought because Jasper was protecting Ruby. According to the surveillance

video, it was indeed Jasper who attacked first.

After hanging up, Natalie pinched her aching eyebrows. Since he was young, this child’s personality

had been a little cold, but he had never hit anyone.

His emotions were relatively stable, and he was rarely furious. When angry, he thought for a while and

quickly walked out. She had driven a motorcycle to work

today. If she went to school to pick up her child, driving would not be suitable.

She walked to the entrance and hailed a taxi to the preschool. She planned to find out more about the

situation first.

In the teacher’s office, there were three children, four teachers, and two old people. Natalie was the last

to arrive.



When she entered, everyone turned to look at her. A few teachers walked to Natalie’s side as if they

had seen their savior. “Jasper’s mommy, you’re finally here.

Thank you for coming.”

Natalie smiled politely at Ella. She glanced at his son, who looked like nothing had happened, and

stood calmly beside Ruby.

As she was about to speak to inquire about the specific details, the elderly couple across from her

began to scold angrily. Pointing at Jasper, they exclaimed, “I

wonder how you educate your child at your age. It must be your son. Look at what you’ve turned my

grandson into. His forehead is bruised. You started so

ruthlessly at such a young age. He won’t grow up to be a decent person.”

Since he was young, no one had ever belittled her son like this. Of course, Natalie felt uncomfortable

hearing this. She frowned and looked at the well-dressed old

man in front of her. However, she was speechless. She pulled her son and Ruby to her side to prevent

the old lady and man from doing anything extreme.

Based on the current situation, the other party could not be reasoned with. She directly chose to skip it.

“Teacher, | want to know the exact situation. Can | see the

surveillance footage?”

The elderly couple across didn’t want to comply. They felt annoyed, as their grandson had been crying

continuously. They were unwilling to give Natalie time to



check the surveillance footage and would rather see Jasper get a beating from her grandson to feel

satisfied.

Ella began to mediate, “Gabriel’s grandma, this is the situation. Jasper’s mom also needs to

understand what happened. The surveillance footage is not very long.

It was just 10 minutes. Could you please take a look?”

“We are swamped. We have so much time to waste with you. Nowadays, anyone can squeeze into an

elite school.” The elderly person glanced at Natalie, dressed

casually, and firmly decided she didn’t seem like a lady from an affluent family.

Observing Natalie’s appearance, the elderly began to pass judgment. Natalie lacked any jewelry or

accessories, and even the diamond ring on her finger was small.

The old lady presumed she likely gained admission to the school through connections. A slight sneer

formed in their minds, and their disdain grew stronger. They

wondered how someone without apparent wealth could secure a place in the school.

She wondered how her grandson could be bullied by such a person. It was, indeed, a joke.

Even though the old lady was elderly, she lacked any manners. Every word that came out of her mouth

was harsh and unpleasant. If it weren’t for the presence of

the two children, Natalie Foster would have been ready to retort. In her heart, she silently reminded

herself to show respect for the elderly and love for the young.

She took a deep breath and shielded the two children. “Madam, you seem well-dressed and possibly

come from a respectable background. Given your family



background, | would appreciate it if you could maintain some politeness. At least conduct yourself in a

manner befitting your background. If my child is wrong, |

will ensure he apologizes, but please allow me to see the video.”

Natalie would not believe that her son would hit someone without reason. There must be a cause, and

she wanted to know the details of the incident.

The old lady remained unyielding, refusing to let her watch the video. Firstly, she was aware of her

grandson’s not-so-good temperament. Secondly, she was

convinced that Natalie had no powerful connections. Even if it was her grandson’s fault today, it must

be made to seem like the other party’s fault.

She raised her head and said, “There’s no need to look. I’ve already seen it. It’s your son’s fault. No

matter what, you can’t hit him. It’s just that you didn’t teach him

well as a mother. Then let my grandson teach your son.”

Seeing the old lady persistently blaming Jasper, Ruby became anxious and started crying. She wiped

her tears and choked. “No, it’s not true. It’s Gabriel’s fault. He

kept calling Jasper dumb and saying, He’s a poor country bumpkin without a dad or mom to raise him.”

Natalie was shocked to hear her son being labeled as a poor country bumpkin. She felt deeply insulted

by this derogatory remark directed at Jasper, which

emphasized contempt for his background and family. These insulting comments indicated a lack of

respect for his rural upbringing and economic circumstances.



If Trevon heard these words, he would probably move a few boxes of cash over and let the old lady

see what a real country bumpkin was.

Natalie couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this. It became apparent that the old lady’s grandson was

behaving more absurdly. Such uncultured words froma

young child undoubtedly indicated they were learned from their elders.

She had reason to suspect that this child’s family was newly wealthy. His biological father must be

coarse and vulgar, explaining why the child could utter such

words.

Even the teacher standing at the side frowned when she heard this. Subconsciously, she glanced at

the arrogant child and shook her head helplessly. That was

because Jasper did not say much. No matter how Gabriel shouted, he chose to ignore him.

As for Gabriel, who was used to being pampered at home and treated as a treasure, Jasper’s

indifference made him very uncomfortable. He felt like he was being

despised, so he looked for trouble with Jasper.

In the end, Jasper still couldn’t be bothered to look at him. This made him even more uncomfortable.

He cursed, but the calm Jasper still ignored him. Ultimately,

Gabriel vented his anger on Ruby, who had been following him. He was so angry that he pushed Ruby

to the ground.

In response to this barrage of accusations, Jasper, calm and quiet, stood up and straddled Gabriel. He

wildly swung his fists without any pattern, solely intent on
