"Noah..." Amelia Taylor's mother looked at Michelle Campbell with a face full of panic.
"This lady here is Mrs. Noah Jackson..." the principal, afraid of complicating matters further, reminded her in a hushed tone.
No sooner had the principal spoken than the expressions on the faces of the Taylors, Amelia's parents, surpassed fright.
And then, following...
Just now, Amelia's father, who had been extremely tender towards his daughter, angrily raised his hand and slapped her across the face!
A loud smack of a slap resonated!
"You wretched girl!"
He was absolutely furious!
Of all people to provoke, she had to go after the very one she shouldn't have!
......
The situation took a sharp turn, and with the addition of another slap, Amelia was left completely dumbfounded, just numbly holding her cheek.
