"Don't worry, my sweethearts. Mommy has faced situations like this before, hasn't she? And every time, hasn't Mommy handled it perfectly?"

He then crossed his arms and let out a heavy snort. "I knew it! Mommy must have been wronged. Mommy is amazing—how could she ever do something like plagiarizing someone else's work?"
"Mommy, you should clear this up quickly, or it'll affect your reputation," Jack Thompson urged Charlotte.
The other children chimed in as well, but Charlotte shook her head in response.
"Now's not the right time," she said calmly.
Though the children were puzzled, they trusted Charlotte completely.
Still, as they looked at the hateful comments online, they couldn't help feeling annoyed.
"But the things those people are saying online are really mean!" Olivia Thompson said softly, her face showing clear frustration.
