It was from Damian's kindergarten.
He had gotten into a fight with another child.
When I got there, I found out the little girl he fought was named Jamiya Frey.
Jamiya saw that Damian wasn't talking and no one wanted to play with him, so she offered him her toy bear to play with.
But after Damian took it, he wouldn't give it back.
When Jamiya tried to take it back, Damian bit her on the arm.
I saw Damian's eyes burning red, like a fierce little beast.
Tiara didn't react much until Jamiya's parents demanded compensation for medical expenses.
That was when she exploded. "Your kid provoked mine first! Why should we pay for the medical expenses?
"It's just a little money for medical expenses! Do you think we can't afford it?"
Seeing that she was about to get into a fight, I quickly stepped in to stop her.
Finally, under the kindergarten director's mediation, Tiara reluctantly paid the medical expenses.
On the way home, she didn't stop cursing.
She even praised Damian for what he did, saying he did the right thing.
By then, Damian had returned to his usual silent self.
According to Tiara, her son only stepped in when it really mattered.
She didn't seem to notice anything strange about Damian and was even telling me enthusiastically how she'd sign him up for extracurricular classes once she got a bonus from the company.
When we got home, we found a crowd of people blocking the doorway.
As soon as they saw Tiara, they surrounded her.
"Tiara, I trusted you as a friend, and that's why I gave you my money. How could you cheat me?"
"Exactly! We've been friends for years, and you still swindled my money!"
"I even invested all of our savings behind my wife's back! You told me it was a guaranteed profit! What are we supposed to do now?"
...
Everyone was shouting at once, and Tiara hadn't even figured out what was going on.
Then someone else stepped forward. "We went to that company today, but the janitor told us they moved out a few days ago. There's no company there now."
"What? You're just making stuff up! That company belongs to a close friend of mine. There's no way I wouldn't know if something happened."
Tiara pulled out her phone and called Ansley, but no one answered after a long time.
She kept calling, but still, no one picked up.
Finally, she heard the message saying the phone was turned off.
Tiara's face turned pale instantly, but she still wasn't willing to give up.
