Chapter 219: Chapter 218: Falling to the Ground

Ivy River immediately picked her up and walked towards the sofa.

Ann’s gaze was still fixed on the two kids who were arguing.

Ivy River said softly, "It’s normal for siblings to squabble. Don’t worry."

Ann nodded slightly, but her gaze didn’t shift back.

Ivy River thought for a moment, "Ann, you can’t keep things bottled up inside. You don’t have to tell your godmother, but you can tell Fatty and Emmy, right? They are your best friends, aren’t they?"

Upon hearing this, Ann buried her head in the sofa, not wanting to respond.

Her small hands clung to the sofa cover, and her mouth was pursed in a line, unwilling to speak.

Fatty and Ann were still arguing.

"Vincent River, you better give me an explanation, or else I won’t let this go. If you make me mad, I’ll tell Mom you..."

Fatty quickly covered his mouth and whispered in Ann’s ear, "Didn’t you notice Mom took Ann to the sofa?"

Emmy finally noticed, pouting and still chattering, "So what! What does this have to do with you being mean to me? Vincent River, are you crazy or what?"

Fatty fumed, whispering, "When I scold you and we argue, it attracts Ann’s attention. That’s good for us! So Mom gave me a look to tell me to continue, so..."

He didn’t finish his sentence.

Emmy immediately got it and sniffed, "But why!"

"No reason! When you were crying your eyes out, you couldn’t hear a thing, and your IQ dropped to zero. So Mom had to give me the look..." Fatty quickly explained.

Emmy was very unhappy and gave a cold humph, "Why didn’t you tell me then."

"This... alright, okay, my fault. I’ll tell you next time! Happy now, little master? Let’s go check on Ann, alright?"

Fatty, feeling helpless, realized that explaining things to girls was pointless.

It’s best to just admit your mistake.

This works universally, no matter the age or gender!

There was a moment of silence.

Emmy, still worried about Ann, didn’t bother much with Fatty.

She coldly pushed Fatty aside, pouting as she walked towards Ann.

Seeing this, Ivy River softened, "Emmy, come here, let Mommy hug you."

"You’re going to hold me and just watch Ann throw a tantrum?" Emmy said grumpily.

Ivy River was startled.

Oh dear.

Now there’s another one hard to coax.

She coaxed, "Ann needs you now; you’re her big sister. Don’t you want to comfort her?"

Fatty also chimed in, "Emmy, don’t you want to know who bullied Ann at school so we can get back at them?"

"Yes!" Emmy yelled immediately, "Ann, tell me now!"

Ann, feeling pestered, buried her face even deeper in the couch, frowning.

Ivy River patiently said, "You need to talk to Ann properly. Did I talk to you like that when you were upset?"

Emmy hearing this gave a cold laugh.

She jumped down and started performing.

She suddenly yelled, "Elsa River! Get up, is this how you talk to your mom? I am your mom, not your punching bag. If you’re upset, that’s none of my business; go find whoever made you upset!"

Ivy River was so startled she jumped.

After hearing the lines, she couldn’t help but facepalm, "Emmy, Emmy, mind your limits."

Emmy ignored her, "Elsa River, I’m counting to three. If you don’t come out and tell me what happened, you can expect a spanking! Three..."

Ivy River snapped, "Elsa River! Can you act more decent outside? If you don’t care about your dignity, I still need mine. Stop copying!"

Emmy yelled with her chin up, "Mom, you were just like this! When I was upset, you used violence to solve violence!"

Ann, hearing this commotion, sneakily glanced at Emmy.

She couldn’t hold it and broke into a laugh.

Fatty noticed and immediately chimed in, "Emmy, you got it right! Mom scolded me even worse!"

He cleared his throat.

"Vincent River! Get up, why did you make your sister cry again, explain!"

Fatty kicked the sofa, his voice loud, "Vincent River, I’m warning you, if you make your sister cry again, this will be your fate!"

"And, if you cause trouble again and make me have to apologize like a fool, expect to come back and be spanked so hard your grandpa won’t recognize you!"

Ann couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Emmy was very happy, "She’s laughing, she’s laughing, okay Ann, no need to be mad anymore. You can’t hold it in; Mom said bottling things up can cause breast issues, so you can’t keep them inside."

Madeline Woods was standing at the door, feeling very relieved.

Finally, her daughter had a smile on her face.

Fatty quickly rushed to Ann, "Ann, you’re smiling! Can you tell us why?"

Hearing this, Ann’s thoughts went back to the beginning.

She went silent.

Ivy River, seeing this, glared fiercely at the two kids, then turned back and gently said, "Godmother hugs, okay?"

Ann nodded cautiously, nervously clutching the hem of her dress.

Ivy River picked her up, "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. You just need to nod or shake your head, okay?"

Ann nodded.

Ivy River softly asked, "Did some kids bully you at school today?"

Ann cautiously nodded.

"Did the teacher not arrive in time? And when the art teacher found out later, they didn’t say anything?"

Ann’s eyes moved a bit but still obediently nodded.

Ivy River furrowed her brows and softly said, "And then when Mom came to pick you up, was it because of her attitude that made you feel worse?"

Ann shook her head vigorously.

Ivy River thought for a moment, then gently prompted, "Was it the teacher’s attitude or a fellow student’s attitude that made you uncomfortable?"

Ann thought for a moment, unsure whether to shake or nod her head.

Ivy River smiled and coaxed, "You don’t know what to do, so do you want to share with godmother?"

Ann cautiously glanced at Ivy River, then nodded, "Yes, I do."

"Alright, then let’s whisper to godmother, how about that?"

Ivy River placed her ear close to Ann’s mouth.

Ann shyly smiled and whispered, "The teacher scolded me, and a student also, also said something to me."

Ivy River’s eyes changed, but she still gently said, "Has this student bullied you before, baby?"

"When, when Emmy wasn’t here, they’d, they’d play with Ava..." Ann said, trembling uncontrollably.

Ivy River paused for a few seconds, confirming her hunch, then said seriously, "Madeline, come with me to school tomorrow."

Madeline was still lost in thoughts of Ivy River’s amazingness.

No matter how much she coaxed, Ann never willingly talked to her before.

A few words from Ivy River and Ann opened up immediately.

Not hearing an answer, Ivy River’s voice turned colder, "Madeline!"

Madeline snapped back, "Oh, oh, I’m here, fine, fine, whatever you say."

Ann, already scared, became even more panicked at the stern voice, her tears uncontrollably falling.

She didn’t know what to do.

Now even godmother was mad. Was she really a bad child?

Thinking of this, Ann became even more anxious, a worried look in her eyes.

Her left hand nervously pinched her right hand.

Just as she was about to say something, Ivy River placed her on the sofa and walked towards Madeline.

Ann was very anxious, quickly getting up to follow Ivy River.

The result was losing her balance and falling to the ground.
