Chapter 5 Fightingl
The hustle and bustle of the playground was overwhelming.
The children were all scared and crying, while the parents were in a state of panic and confusion.
Onlookers gathered around, one circle after another.
Ariella hurried over, worried that Raul would suffer a loss.
“Rauly, Mom is here. Don’t be afraid. I…”
Before the words were finished, she saw another child, Leonel, who was fighting with Raul.

At that moment, Leonel was still being pinned down and beaten by Raul. She silently swallowed the words she hadn’t finished saying.
Leonel heard a familiar voice and also looked over in this direction. At the moment when he made eye contact with her, his eyes instantly turned red.
But soon, he looked up and stared at Raul.
“You thief, you stole my things. I will kill you!”
Raul saw that he was about to resist again, so he raised his fist.
But the fist didn’t come down; it was obviously meant to scare him.
Leonel was scared and shrank his neck, but he still remained stubborn.
“You are a thief, and you deserve to be punished!”
Ariella approached to separate the two kids, only to discover that their hands were fighting over a telephone watch.
She rarely went back to the house in the urban village, but when she did, she would bring along some miscellaneous items to be stored.
This watch was actually bought as a birthday gift for Leonel.
They were all custom–made.
One was for Leonel, and one was for her.
The biggest advantage of this watch was that when two people wear it at the same time, it would sound an alarm if they were more than 10 feet apart.
Actually, there were frequent reports of children going missing, and she was worried that Leonel might be in trouble.
But unfortunately…
She raised her hand and pulled out the watch, gripping it.
Leonel took the opportunity to forcefully push Raul away, feeling triumphant.
“See? No one helped you! You are just a thief. When my dad comes, he will catch you and
He seemed certain that Ariella would stand by his side and fight for him.
The next moment.
put you in jail!”
Ariella personally pulled Raul up, reattached the wristwatch for him, and then looked at Leonel, who had a shocked expression on his face.
“This was not your watch; you just stole it and even hit him. Apologize to Rauly!”
Raul probably didn’t expect this. Her eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly turned his wrist wearing a watch backward,

Leonel still hadn’t come back to his senses.
Ariella coldly reminded, “Have you forgotten?”

“Back then, you despised this watch, thinking it didn’t match your status, unlike the diamond watch Auntie Layla gave you, so you smashed the one I gave you.”
Leonel seemed to have completely forgotten; but because of Ariella’s stern words and fierce expression, his eyes turned red, and he started crying and shouting.
“You actually favored this bastard?”
He had a face full of complaints, completely unable to understand how Ariella suddenly became so indifferent. He couldn’t accept it.
Raul immediately jumped out angrily, with hands on hips, and shouted, “I am not a bastard; she is my mother. You are the bastard!”
Leonel shouted, “I am not.”
“Aren’t you? Then where is your mother? Didn’t your superstar mother accompany you here? Blah blah blah!” Leonel’s tender face instantly turned red.
Ariella couldn’t help but frown. Although she had already given up on this son, she didn’t want to make things too ugly.
“If you really want a phone watch, you can tell your dad…”
Before she finished speaking, she saw Leonel actually grab a wooden stool from the side and throw it towards Raul. Ariella’s face turned pale with fright, and she immediately pulled Raul aside to avoid it, but the wooden stool still hit her left arm.
A bruise appeared instantly.
Her arm instantly lost sensation.
She felt a sharp pain for quite a while, and the pain made her forehead break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing her injured, Raul was taken aback for a moment, and the next moment he fiercely pounced on Leonel.
“Rauly, no!”
Ariella instinctively reached out to grab it, but the child ran too fast, and she was still a beat behind.
Leonel was taken aback as he had never done this before. He stood still, looking somewhat dazed, as Raul, who seemed like an enraged little beast, punched him a few times.
Ariella immediately endured the pain and stepped forward to separate them.
However, before her hand could touch Raul, Raul was instead pushed towards her.
Lailah arrived here and immediately protected Leonel.
She was wearing casual clothes, with a duckbill hat and a mask. If it weren’t for Ariella’s deep impression of her, it would have been difficult to recognize her.
“Ariella, Leo is your biological son! How could you help someone else?”
Lailah gently touched the scars on Leonel’s body, seemingly very distressed.
“We had many misunderstandings between you and me before. You could have just come at me. Why did you treat him

“How old are you? And how old is Leo? I don’t believe you couldn’t avoid that chair!

“There are so many people here. If someone deliberately spread online rumors about the Hensley Group’s future successor harming his own mother, do you know how serious the consequences would be?”
In the end, her tone had become slightly higher.
“You were going to ruin your son!”
Upon hearing this, Leonel, who was still in a state of shock and guilt, instantly looked up.
Children simply did not know how to hide their emotions; the anger in his eyes was almost about to burst out.
Looking at Leonel, Ariella couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.
Leonel used to be very attached to her when he was young. No matter what happened, the first person he thought of was her.

One time when she was cooking, she got scalded. Leonel held her hand and kept blowing on it, even shedding tears out of concern.

He even said, “Mom, don’t cook anymore in the future. I am a man. I will protect you!”
Since when did things start to change between them?
Maybe it happened when Leonel asked her why she didn’t wear makeup and wasn’t working.
Or perhaps, it was when he couldn’t help but feel excited and elated while talking about Lailah.
Ariella didn’t want to investigate the reason anymore, and she just sighed and calmly looked at Leonel, explaining.
“When I was detained, I had thought about suicide. I had lost a lot of blood, and my health was very poor. Just now, the incident happened suddenly, and I reacted a bit slowly.”
On the other side, Raul was still carefully blowing on the bruises on her arm, tears shimmering in his eyes.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that it was meaningless to continue explaining. She just gently raised her other hand and touched Raul’s head to indicate that she was fine.
Raul, however, seemed very afraid.“Mom, I didn’t need his apology. Let’s go.”
Ariella was also worried that he would have some psychological shadow, so she nodded and reached out to pull him, wanting to leave.
Leonel’s resentment on his face grew heavier, as he pointed at her and shouted hoarsely.
“You lied! Auntie Layla said that you just moved to a different place, with someone taking care of you. How could you possibly commit suicide?
“I am your son, and yet you
deceived me for this bastard. You didn’t even stand by my side. How could you
do this?”
