Phoebe away?”

Austin said, “Mon, don’t worry. I’ll go to find Courtney right now.”

In the amusement park, Phoebe played on the slide. A bossy little boy pushed her off. She fell to the ground and cried.
Courtney looked at her phone nearby. She had sent Hayden a lot of messages on WhatsApp, even though she knew he wouldn’t reply.
Hearing the crying, Courtney got up and walked over
Phoebe pointed at the boy who had pushed her and cried to Courtney, “He pushed me.”
Courtney looked at the little boy and said seriously, “Why did you push her?” Courtney looked intimidating.
The little boy feared Courtney, stepped back, hid behind his parents, and said defiantly, “I pushed her. So what?”
Courtney looked at Phoebe’s scraped knee, frowned at the boy’s parents, and said, “Ask your son to say sorry to her, or I’ll call the police.”
Courtney took out her phone and intended to call the police. She said, “There are surveillance cameras everywhere”
The boy’s parents were stubborn. After they saw the surveillance recordings, they pulled their son over and said, “Apologize”
The little boy unwillingly mumbled, “Sorry…”
Courtney looked down at Phoebe and said, “Do you forgive him?”
Phoebe huffed aloofly, “OK.”
The parents pulled the boy away.
Courtney indifferently sat back down on the bench.
Phoebe said, “Bad woman, when will my dad come to pick me up? Why did he ask you to pick me up?” Phoebe ran over to Courtney. Although Phoebe still called her “bad woman“, Phoebe wasn’t that resistant.
Courtney took out an iodine cotton swab from her bag to clean Phoebe’s knee and said, “You’ve been tricked, “Your dad won’t come to pick you up. From now on, you will live with me until he pays me back.”
Phoebe fell into a trance, looked at
ked at Courtney, and was about to burst into tears.
Courtney pointed at her threateningly and said, “Don’t cry, Your parents put you under my name, understand?”
Phoebe sniffled, held back her tears, and said, “You’re such a bad woman!”
Courtney raised her hand as if she was about to hit Phoebe.
Phoebe felt wronged and said, “What should I call you?”
