The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot

Chapter 286: Her Notorious Past

Her daughter getting into fights wasn’t something she opposed, as long as it wasn’t going around randomly hitting others.

Behaviors like hitting people for no reason are unacceptable.

Daniel Lopez: "???"

Does that mean it’s okay to slap his face? Does that mean not listening to him?

And what’s this about the premise of not fighting being that no one stirs up trouble? So it means they can fight if someone causes trouble?

Is Holly Sawyer really educating her daughter this way, letting her follow her own temperament?

"Mom, I understand."

Jenna Grant nodded obediently, looking like a well-behaved girl.

"I’m educating students here, Holly Sawyer, is this how you educate your daughter?"

Daniel Lopez lightly knocked on the desktop, his irritation rising.

"No problem, this is how I got through, didn’t I? Oh, and I was the top of the grade back then."

"I never fell behind in grades, and I scored the best."

"If I remember correctly, I topped the province back then."

Holly Sawyer said casually, her tone showing indifference.

She has a set of her own methods for educating her daughter—fighting is okay, but not without reason.

If she’s bullied by others, she can bully back without holding back. Holly Sawyer always held this view.

If no one causes trouble, then she won’t initiate trouble.

"Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you."

Daniel Lopez suddenly felt a headache coming on, rubbing his temples.

Had he known Jenna Grant’s mother was Holly Sawyer, he wouldn’t have called the parents, not paying attention to such details at the time.

Ugh, pretty challenging.

Back then, Holly Sawyer was quite a big sister, almost a school tyrant, and together with Cecilia Bennett they formed a duo of school bullies that no one dared to mess with.

Yet strangely, these two problematic students had exceptionally good grades.

Back then Daniel Lopez had a headache over Holly Sawyer and Cecilia Bennett, but found himself at a loss for words.

Honestly, he didn’t know how to manage them.

"Mr. Lopez, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading off now; I’m pretty busy."

Holly Sawyer yawned and slowly opened her mouth to speak.

Feeling a bit sleepy, she wanted to go home for a nap.

"Wait, the student’s parents are asking for compensation; you handle it yourself, I don’t want to deal with it."

Daniel Lopez found it frustrating, he spoke slowly.

He couldn’t control Holly back then, and he knew he couldn’t manage Holly’s daughter now either.

Forget it, doesn’t matter.

"Fine, bring him over."

Holly Sawyer crossed her legs, adopting a careless posture as she spoke.

Daniel Lopez made a phone call, then turned to stare at Holly.

If he didn’t know Holly Sawyer, he couldn’t fathom that she would have such a grown-up daughter now; she looked merely in her twenties, who’d have thought she was over thirty by now.

Holly Sawyer back then was really a challenging student, seemingly soft, but very tough in reality.

"Well, your attitude sure carried on for many years."

"So what now, letting your daughter return to school for you?"

Daniel Lopez looked at Holly Sawyer, speaking slowly, with a kind of heartfelt sentiment.

"Not really, I never let my daughter initiate problems, but she shouldn’t be weak when others provoke."

Holly Sawyer lowered her head, fiddling with her nails, and spoke quietly.

Jenna Grant stood beside, listening intently.

She had long known her mother was impressive, but she wanted to hear more about her mother’s achievements from back then.

"You’re Jenna Grant’s parent, right? Look at how your daughter messed up my son’s face!"

"How could a little girl hit so hard?"

"Tell me, how are you going to handle this?"

The office door was pushed open, and the newcomer didn’t even look at people before starting to ramble.

Beside him was a boy with bruised and swollen features.

"How much money? Just tell me."

Holly Sawyer lazily lifted her head.

In situations like this, usually throwing money at it would work.

Anything solvable by money isn’t a problem.

The man was stunned the moment Holly Sawyer raised her gaze, looking at her incredulously.

"You’re Holly Sawyer, right?"

Vincent Hughes stared at Holly Sawyer in disbelief.

Holly Sawyer didn’t seem to have changed; even after so many years, she remained so beautiful, time hadn’t left its mark on her face.

"Mm, and you are?"

Holly nodded, looking puzzled at the person in front of her.

Seemed familiar, but she couldn’t recall.

"Vincent Hughes."

Since their previous unpleasant encounter, they hadn’t seen each other; this meeting was quite unexpected.

Holly Sawyer: "Oh."

"Is she your daughter?"

Vincent Hughes’ gaze landed on Jenna Grant’s face, pausing for a moment.

The two standing together really looked alike.

Holly Sawyer: "Yes."

"I am his uncle."

Vincent Hughes pulled the boy over, explaining.

"Long time no see, I didn’t expect your daughter to be so grown."

"You really can’t tell..."

"Let’s get back to the main topic here, how much compensation?"

Vincent Hughes seemed to be catching up like old friends, rambling on, but Holly Sawyer frowned and interrupted him.

Didn’t want to discuss these trivialities.

"No need, no need, boys are tough, getting hit is no big deal."

"We’ll head back first."

Vincent Hughes shook his head, then pulled the boy beside him along to leave.

Warren King: "???"

Boy: "???"

Weren’t they promised a fair resolution?

Didn’t they say money wouldn’t solve it?

Didn’t they promise he wouldn’t be treated wrongly?

They said...

So much.

Now they just don’t want anything and pull him away.

"Uncle, we..."

"In every aspect, we can’t outdo them."

Vincent Hughes calmly assured, gently patting the boy’s head.

Can’t win a fight against Holly Sawyer, and don’t even have as much money as her.

"Why is he afraid of you?"

Once Vincent Hughes left, Daniel Lopez curiously asked.

Initially, Vincent was quite arrogant, but upon meeting Holly, he became subdued.

"Probably because he can’t beat me in a fight."

Holly Sawyer blinked, speaking casually.

Daniel Lopez: "...Speak properly."

Can’t win in fights?

They’re all grown-ups, and still fighting?

"Probably his family background isn’t as good as mine, doesn’t have as much money, nor as much influence."

Holly Sawyer said lightly, this was the only reason she could think of, couldn’t really think of anything else.

Daniel Lopez: "???"

"Jean, let’s head home, your dad’s cooked dinner."

Holly Sawyer glanced at her phone, then called out to Jenna Grant.

"So just what kind of background do you have that makes others afraid of you?"

Daniel Lopez was genuinely curious.

"It’s beyond what you’d understand, just knowing my husband is Leo Grant should suffice."

Holly Sawyer replied as she walked out.

Daniel Lopez stood there in shock, full of disbelief.

Leo Grant?

He might not know other things, but almost everyone knew Leo Grant.

Is Holly Sawyer’s husband really Leo Grant?

If so, Holly Sawyer truly stands at the pinnacle of the social hierarchy.
