"I think he's just trying to scare us."
One parent simply did not believe what the dean had said, "At worst, we smashed up one of their wards, all we have to do is pay some money, that's it. As for the injured one, just covering the medical expenses should be enough."
"But what if they don't want the medical expenses?" Another parent was not as relaxed, feeling that the situation could really blow up.
"Even if we really get sued, there's nothing we can do," the parent who had spoken before spread his hands, not seeming to think it was a big deal, "After all, I just went to join the crowd, I didn't smash anything, and I didn't hit that child."
Smart people really are smart, not everyone knows how to "read the room". And who has the presence of mind to stay calm in these situations?
