However, as she paused and a dash of cold resentment flashed past her eyes, the worry on her face only deepened. The moment she laid her eyes on Flossie Wright her expression changed to shock, as if she couldn’t believe Flossie had "knocked down" her son. Yet, this very expression of hers made the false accusation seem true as if the events had indeed transpired that way.
At this moment, Grady Wright, who had been crying his heart out, silenced his cries immediately upon hearing "Flossie". His moist eyes darted around and the moment he caught sight of Flossie, he backed away as if shocked by something serious, silencing him utterly. All he could do now was sob quietly.
Helen Wright, betaken somehow, glanced at Grady Wright and then Flossie Wright, before hurriedly pulling a tissue from her bag and painstakingly wiping Grady’s eyes.
On the other hand, before Flossie Wright had time to react to the sudden slander, the little boy at her side had already stepped forward, standing directly in front of her as a shield.
"He fell on his own."
The boy’s voice was firm, without a single trace of hesitation. When his eyes met Merry Otiz’s, the only expressions he held were caution and unwavering defense.
Even a child could clearly distinguish right from wrong.
Watching the little boy who moved to her defense, Flossie Wright’s eyes flickered and a trace of a smile crept into her gaze.

Here, Merry Otiz, who had been fully confident about pinning the blame on Flossie, hadn’t yet had the chance to darken the tale when she saw the boy defending Flossie. She couldn’t help but falter, feeling the thick embarrassment filling the air.
With a kind smile that seemed rather stiff, Merry Otiz awkwardly looked at Flossie, pretending to advise, "Flossie, you can’t be a bad influence on the children."
Bad influence on the children.
The amusement in Flossie’s eyes just deepened. However, she didn’t respond directly to Merry’s charge. Instead, her gaze shifted over to Grady, her narrowed eyes conveying a warning. The next moment, she asked quietly, "What do you think?"
The moment she fixed her gaze on him, Grady instinctively wanted to run away. But, as usual, he didn’t have the courage. His feet remained rooted to the spot, and even the presence of his sister Helen couldn’t alleviate his fear.
Flossie was simply too intimidating. Grady, already traumatized, didn’t stand a chance against her.
Of course, the moment Flossie asked him, he immediately understood what she meant. Consequently, he turned to Merry and stammered, "Mom, I ... I fell down by myself!"
As the words spilled out, Merry’s forced smile completely froze, cracked, shattered...
Her own son was betraying her!
Merry felt as if she would explode from anger.
Moreover, when Grady fell, many passersby had gathered. Originally led astray by Merry’s allegations, they held a very poor impression of Flossie and even started whispering about her. However, when the little boy came to her defense, their stance wavered, and now with even Merry’s own son siding with Flossie, their hearts began to lean towards Flossie. Concurrently, looks of contempt and disdain crossed their faces and their murmured remarks stripped Merry off her dignity. Her heavily made-up face flushed with embarrassment in an instant.
