Chapter 203 I Want An Apology


    Patrick was no stranger to the term "little bastard". Back in Norview, several ssmates from his kindergarten had often called him that.


    He understood it wasn''t meant as apliment. His big eyes widened in anger as he looked at Rosie.


    Rosie scolded Patrick sharply, "Look at what you''ve done to my dress! This dress is worth tens of thousands of dors. Do you think you can afford topensate me?"


    Her expression darkened as she looked at her dress, her anger evident.


    Patrick pouted, already feeling annoyed by the prettydy he hadn''t liked to begin with. Now that she was scolding him, his irritation swelled. He tightened his little fists in frustration and shouted, "You''re so mean! You''re a bad woman!"


    He took a deep breath, plotting his next move as he eyed the cakes on the table.


    Recalling his mother''s advice that children shouldn''t always resort to fighting and shouldmunicate peacefully, he firmly said to Rosie, "You insulted me. I want an apology."


    Rosie, enraged, retorted, "By what right do you demand an apology from me? Compensate me for my dress


    first!"


    Patrick had intentionally stained her dress. He had already sensed her malicious intentions, especially when he had realized she had been secretly recording him. He didn''t know what she intended to do with the footage.


    He stood his ground. "You insulted me. Apologize."


    Rosie scoffed, finding the boy as irritating as his mother. Having been


    embarrassed by Ellie earlier and now facing this child''s defiance, she was furious.


    She sneered, "It was you who ruined my dress first.”


    Without hesitation, Patrick grabbed a cream cake from the table and smashed it into Rosie''s face.


    After doing that, he hurried away, only to collide with Julia. Without a word, he quickly shouted, "Run!"


    Julia, unclear about the specifics but hearing Rosie''s furious shouts from the courtyard, figured that Patrick had gotten into trouble.


    "What have you done?" she asked Patrick while following him


    She wasn''t concerned about Rosie retaliating With Brenna present, she doubted Rosie would be able to bully


    Patrick


    The two hurried into the elevator and ascended to the third floor. Once safe, Patrick detailed the entire

    situation to Julia


    Julia didn''t see it as a significant issue, though it was indeed a bit troublesome the corded town wh suggested to Patrick, "We should inform your mom and grother shot this before that bad womenins about this"


    Patrick nodded and said, "Yes, let''s inform them first."


    The two of them pushed the door open, finding Brenna calmly exining trait of the Harper family to le


    "You might not be aware, but all the Harper family members share a hereditary allergy to mangpes. It''s something only our family knows. Even our household staff is in the dark about it. My dad insists it most remain a secret to prevent anyone from using it against us."


    While inspecting the two dresses delivered by Rosie, Ellie detected the scent of mango on the cors, suggesting the dresses had been smeared with mango juice.


    Her expression hardened. "Rosie is really malicious. We can''t allow her to get away with this."


    "Mommy, Brenna!" Patrick burst into the room, his eyes sparkling with mischief Seeing his expression, Ellie immediately sensed that something was wrong. He had the same look whenever he got into trouble at school or was up to no good. She gave his head a light tap. "What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"


    Patrick quickly told everything to Ellie. Then, he added, "That bad woman also called me names."


    From the hallway, Rosie''s furious voice could be heard. "Little bastard,e out!"


    "Ellie''s temper erupted immediately. She snatched up the dresses Rosie had brough another dress. Before Rosie entered, Ellie separated the dresses. .rubbed them against


    She marched over to confront Rosie, but when she saw Rosie''s face smeared with cream, she stopped herself from pping her, unwilling to get her hands dirty.


    "How dare you insult my son like that?" she asked sharply.


    Rosie''s anger red even more. In an attempt toin about Patrick, she had refused to let the servants wipe the cream off her face, but that only caused her to beughed at.


    "How did you raise your son? He threw cream at my face. If you won''t teach him manners, then I will," she said, reaching for Patrick.


    As she tried to grab Patrick, he dodged and sprinted away, nearly causing her to tip over in her wheelchair.


    Ellie stepped in her way. "You already insulted him for that. You two are even now."


    Unsatisfied, Rosie retorted, "My dress is expensive, and now, it''s ruined. You need topensate me!"


    She nced at the beige M&G dress on the bed, feeling a strong desire for it.


    Ellie threw the dresses Rosie had brought back at her. "Then you can take these dresses back now!"


    Rosie pointed at the beige dress and said, "I want that one."
