Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1626

Maisie could only offer a few words of comfort. She had tried calling James' mother, but the calls would go unanswered, or the mother would dismiss it as kids' play and not a big deal.

But when she tried to speak more this time, the mother said curtly, "Ms. Squire, do you need more money? It's fine. If money can solve the problem, my future husband will help!"

"Ma'am—"

Before Maisie could finish her sentence, the call abruptly ended. She sighed weakly, glanced at her half-eaten sandwich, took a few quick bites, and rushed off to work.

However, one problem led to another.

On this day, a teacher ran up to Maisie before she even entered the classroom. "Ms. Squire, two kids from your class are fighting!"

Maisie's heart leaped into her throat, and she was sure it was James causing trouble again.

When she rushed over to see, it wasn't James bullying someone—it was Persephone!

The little princess was on top of James, throwing punches rapidly, each one quick and strong.

A group of other children surrounded her, cheering her on, and the classroom was in chaos with the noise!

James had taken quite a beating, his face swollen and battered.

After Persephone had her fill of beating him, she dismounted, kicked him hard, and grabbed his throat, slapping him twice.

She scolded him fiercely, "Do you dare to do that again, you little brat?!

"When my grandpa was a gangster on the streets, you were probably still nursing from your mother!"

Maisie was startled. It was Luna—usually the most well-behaved girl—who stood up timidly to defend Persephone. "Ms. Squire, Persephone fought with James for us..."

"That's right!" Another boy stood up at this point. "James took my toys and stole my snacks!"

"When Zack was using the bathroom, James hit him on the head, and it left a big bump!"

"He scribbled on my desk! Look, Ms. Squire!"

"He even... He..." Another girl looked at Maisie with teary eyes. "He lifted my skirt! My mom told me that girls should never have their skirts lifted by boys!"

"Ms. Squire, don't punish Persephone!"

"She's our heroine!"
