Chapter 542

"That's..."

Charlotte's words left the principal in a dilemma.

When Monte Perry Kindergarten was established, the family committee had jointly proposed a rule to raise the

school's admission threshold and ensure the student population's quality.

Over the years, the kindergarten had strictly enforced this rule and did not accept children from single-parent

families.

Even though the principal of the school appreciated Renee's decent and kind-hearted stance and liked Aiden's

intelligence and cuteness, she couldn't make a special exception before so many parents.

"What's with your hesitation? As the kindergarten principal, you can't always break the rules, can you? Children

from single-parent families are problematic and have flawed character! Having them attend school with children

from normal families will definitely affect the regular children! We can't let that happen!"

Charlotte spoke with such righteous indignation, and the parents around her also fanned the flames by agreeing

with her statement.

The principal seemed to be in a tough spot, and there didn't look like she could do anything, so she said helplessly,

"Parents, please calm down. I'll... figure something out."

"Figure something out?"

Some parents present had similar bad attitudes and regarded Renee and Aiden as scourges, saying, "The best thing

to do is to get rid of this mother- son pair. Letting their kind stay here will only disrupt the harmony and warmth of

Monte Perry Kindergarten!"

Renee's beautiful face instantly darkened. Her gaze sharpened and became like knives as she stepped toward the

parent who spoke and said fiercely, "You better keep your mouth shut before I make your child have only a single

parent!"

The air around Renee was cutting and powerful, and the mother fell silent instantly. She hung her head low and was

so fearful that she didn't dare look into Renee's eyes.

She wasn't the only one. The other parents who previously complained and muttered were now too scared to say

anything, leaving Charlotte to look like a clown after humiliating Renee and her son.

In the end, of course, Zachary’s slap subdued her!

Renee was distraught.

She had thought about the possibility that Aiden and Abigail would be discriminated against because they came

from a single-parent family, but she didn't think that the environment would be so harsh and that society would be

so malicious toward single-parent families that there would be restrictions from attending school.

Renee didn't want to make things difficult for the principal, so she said to the crowd, "Since it's a rule, I’m not

unreasonable, and I won't force something that’s not meant to be. If Monte Perry doesn't welcome us, I trust there

are other more inclusive kindergartens that will.

"But I want to tell you that children from single-parent families aren't evil monsters, much less the plague. There is

no need for you to avoid them to this extent. Whether a child is good, kind, and has the right outlook in life...

depends on how their parents teach them by example. Parents full of prejudice and short-sightedness will only bring

up children with the same mindset!"

After Renee finished speaking, she took Aiden's hand.

"Come on, let's go!"

Some of the parents cursed Renee, thinking she was acting high and mighty, but some were thoughtful and even

guilty as they hung their heads.

The principal watched Renee and Aiden leave and felt ashamed.

She had interacted with many students and parents, and Aiden and Renee were definitely the best of the lot. They

were a hundred times better than many of the so-called normal families, but Monte Perry Kindergarten had to

reject them because of that one stupid rule!

The principal secretly vowed in her heart that she would find a way to gain admission for Aiden!

As it was almost evening when they left Monte Perry, Renee searched for a family restaurant so that Aiden could

have dinner.

The little boy was unusually quiet the entire way.

Although the kid tried to act cool since he was a child, he still took after his scumbag father, where few words

exited his mouth
