Chapter 17: Bullying the Little Mute Sister

```

At this moment, even those who don't get it would know that Isla Sutton fainting was meant as a greeting gift.

Edwin Blake dialed Ayla's phone number with a cold smile.

Just when he thought she wouldn't pick up, a pleasant female voice came from the other side, "President Blake, what can I do for you?"

"What do you want?"

Edwin Blake got straight to the point.

"It seems you quite liked the greeting gift I gave you. I don't take deposits, pay in full and I'll offer you a plan. How much time do you need?"

Ivy River was equally direct.

She also didn't want to waste time with Edwin Blake.

"I can give you the money first, but as for the shares, I can't give those to you right now."

Ivy River's voice suddenly turned sultry and husky, "Then, may I ask when can President Blake give them to me~"

Edwin Blake was momentarily stunned.

This voice, isn't this the tone Ivy River uses when she's passionate in bed?

"Who are you?"

Ivy River laughed, "Does President Blake not know who I am yet is still talking to me?"

Edwin Blake's face was clouded as he spoke coldly, "Who the hell are you?"

Ivy River knew Edwin Blake was angry, so she stopped teasing.

In a serious tone, she said, "President Blake, you'd better think this through, or else I think the consequences will be too much for you to bear."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Edwin Blake looked up, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "How's the investigation going on Ayla's background, and who exactly was on the top floor last night?"

"President Hodges hasn't sent news yet, Ayla's background is impossible to check, it's like she's a ghost, no information at all from the Dark Web."

Harry Ross lowered his head and said nothing more.

It's just like the lady they've been searching for five years, with no news whatsoever.

A strange look flashed in Edwin Blake's eyes, "Draft an agreement, contact Ayla, after the board meeting, I'll transfer her the shares, send her the cash first."

"Understood."

"And check if the medicine box Leon Peterson had today is the same as the one the doctor had at the old house that day."

After speaking, Edwin Blake waved his hand in frustration.

Harry Ross was about to say something when the phone rang at an inconvenient time.

After answering the call.

Harry Ross glanced at Edwin Blake, "President, Miss Ava got into a fight at the kindergarten..."

Edwin Blake pinched his brow, "Go handle it."

At the same time, Ivy River was also speeding in her car.

The teacher had called to inform her that Fatty and Emmy had a fight with their classmates in the kindergarten.

Ivy River's head buzzed, feeling like her head was about to explode.

It's only been a few days, and this happens!

After rushing to the school, she apologized profusely, "Teacher, I'm sorry for the trouble Fatty and Emmy caused you! Don't worry, I'll discipline them when we get home."

Fatty looked aggrieved, "Mom, we didn't do anything wrong."

Emmy also piped up seriously at this time, "Mom, we really didn't do anything wrong this time."

Ivy River began to examine their surroundings.

There were four children in the room.

Fatty stood in front of Emmy and another little girl, looking like a big brother.

The other little girl she recognized, supposedly very arrogant.

Finally, Ivy River felt relieved, "Teacher, what exactly happened?"

Teacher Warner had a helpless expression, not knowing how to start.

"Vincent, why don't you tell your mom a little about it?"

Fatty nodded and said solemnly to the other little girl, "Ava Sutton, I warn you, you better apologize to Ann properly!"

Ava Sutton rolled her eyes, "Fat Pig, I've already told you not to meddle, just wait until my dad comes and you'll be sorry!"

Ivy River listened from the side, frowning.

Fatty ignored her, spitting words in frustrations.

"Mommy, didn't I tell you before, there's a girl who always bullies her classmates, it's her!"

"Today during break, they came to our seats, surrounding it, not letting Ann leave, which also blocked the way for me and Emmy too."

"So I started arguing with them, who knew it ended in a fight."

Saying this, Fatty stomped his foot, very annoyed, "They're really wimps! I didn't even use much force, yet they went and told the teacher!"

"Truly the wicked complain first, you bully a girl and have the nerve to complain! Ava Sutton, speak up!"

Ava Sutton arrogantly responded, "Just because you say I bullied her, it means I did? If you have the guts, tell Cora Grayson to speak up herself."

Emmy's little face turned red with anger, "Didn't your mom teach you to be brave enough to take responsibility when you do something wrong, that correcting mistakes makes you still a good child?"

At this point, Fatty pulled Ann over, looking very serious, "Ann, tell them yourself, did Ava Sutton bully you?"

Although Fatty was usually playful, he was very serious in major matters.

Ann timidly looked at Ava Sutton, then at the teacher.

Seeing this, Ivy River immediately squatted down and held her little hand, gently saying, "Are you Ann? I'm Emmy's mom."

Ann was a bit resistant, pulling her little hand away.

"Ann, you don't have to be afraid, Auntie won't force you to do anything you don't want. Can you think of Auntie as your friend?"

Fatty watched anxiously from the side.

Ava Sutton mocked, "Fat Pig, so this is your mom?"

Fatty stood right in front of Ava Sutton, "Ava Sutton, if you speak another slanderous word, I will definitely hit you!"

"Vincent River, stop arguing."

Ivy River was patiently coaxing Ann, not wanting a noisy environment.

"You don't have to speak, Auntie will just ask yes or no questions, and you can nod or shake your head."

Ann gently nodded.
