Miranda turned on her laptop immediately as she had surveillance cameras in her room. Soon, she found the

footage from the day and zoomed in on the scene,

Sure enough, Miranda recognized that it was Penelope’s precious grandson, Walter Sutton, who had done it.

Without hesitation, she headed downstairs.

Penelope was watching television. Walter's parents, Reggie Sutton and Camle Hudson, were seated on the

couch. They were playing on their phones while snacking on sfruit. At that moment, Walter was about to

ruin another one of Lionel’s framed puzzles.

Miranda narrowed her eyes and swiftly snatched the puzzle out of his hands just as he was about to pull it down.

“You went into my room, didn’t you? Where did you take the documents I left on my desk? Return them now

while I'm still being patient.”

Her expression was stern, and her voice icy cold.

Walter, who was around five or six years old, was already capable of reading people’s expressions. He saw the

stern look on her face and realized that he might be in serious trouble. His eyes darted around, and then... he

burst into loud, wailing sobs.

Camie rushed over and comforted him, ‘Oh no! Why did you cry all of a sudden? Don’t cry, tell Mommy what's

wrong”

“Daddy’s here too! No one will dare to bully you!” Reggie chimed in. His parents, who were engrossed in their

phones earlier, quickly rushed over when they heard Walter's cries.

Camie lovingly cradled Walter in her arms while Reggie stood beside them, clenching his fists. He seemed ready

to start a fight at any moment.

They had noticed the tense situation the moment Miranda started speaking. However, they didn’t bother to care

and continued fiddling on their phones instead of intervening to find out what happened or disciplining their

child. They only got involved when Walter started crying.

“Miranda, Walter is just a child, and you're older than him. How can you bully him and make him cry?” Feeling

sorry for her son, Camie gave Miranda a look of resentment and reproach. To an outsider, it might seem like

Miranda had hurt Walter in sway.

Miranda explained calmly, “I only asked him to return what he took. If you consider that bullying, | guess you all

must do quite a bit of bullying yourselves.”

Camie frowned and retorted, “How could you talk like this to us? You lost your things, and yet you blmy son

for this? Where's the logic in that?”

At that moment, Lionel and Mindy heard the commotion from upstairs. They quickly cdown to the living

room.

“Lionel Sutton, you cat just the right time. Your daughter's really something. She's accusing Walter of

stealing her things. How could she falsely accuse a child like this? If you won't teach her a lesson, | shall do it on

your behalf as her uncle!”

The one who spoke was Reggie Sutton, Walter's father He wasn’t much older than Lionel, but he addressed him

rudely and even threatened to discipline Miranda as an elder relative. For once, the

“Uncle Reggie, we don’t even know what's happened yet. How can you be so sure that Miranda falsely accused

Walter? You're a father, and I'm a father too.

Lionel’s tone turned sharp, “However, | trust that Miranda wouldn't make baseless accusations. She would have

her reasons if she spoke with such certainty.”
