Chapter 340 Her Husband Is the School’s Shareholder
“You’re this kid’s mother, aren’t you? Get over here and settle this problem; sign the withdrawal application.” The woman raised her voice as she approached Anastasia aggressively, without giving her a chance to refute.
“Why should my son withdraw from school? It’s your son who bullied others!” Anastasia stood up and retorted coldly.
The mother had learned about Anastasia’s background from the teacher before Anastasia’s arrival. As Anastasia had no political background and no social standing, the mother looked down on her as she was only an office worker.
“What? How dare you talk to me like that! I can get your son out of the way right now, believe it or not,” said the mother with a smug face. “Your son is nosy and he injured my son. You can only leave once you have compensated us,” she commanded.
“I trust Jared; he will not hit others for no reason.” After saying that, Anastasia walked straight to Principal Miller. “I want to find out the whole truth, Principal Miller. I believe the school is under surveillance and I would like to see the CCTV footage of the incident.”
“We’re already dealing with this, Miss Tillman. Please be patient. When there is a result, I will notify you. Please send Jared home first.” The headmistress who was in her early forties comforted Anastasia as it was evident that she was unwilling to aggravate the situation.
The mother sneered behind Anastasia after she heard the principal. “Did you hear that? Go back and wait for the result. At the same time, the medical bills will also be sent to you,” she scoffed.
“You must expel Jared from school, Mom. I hate him and I don’t want to see him anymore.” The young boy who bullied Jared crossed his arms and exuded arrogance. It wasn’t a surprise that his character was as haughty as the mother’s.
Jared, who was standing beside Elliot, immediately had a darkened expression and raised his chin to refute, “I hate you too, and I don’t want to see you either.”
The chubby boy grimaced at Jared and growled, “Just wait! My dad will definitely make you a dropout.”
Seeing that, Anastasia blinked her eyes as she was lost for words. At this moment, a low-pitched male voice sounded beside Jared. “You will not be expelled from school, Jared. Not while I am here.”
Subsequently, Jared felt a sudden boost of confidence from Elliot’s supportive statements. With that, he glared at the chubby kid and declared, “I won’t be expelled from school.”
At that moment, Anastasia glanced righteously at the principal and she reiterated, “Principal Miller, I have the right to know what happened. Even if Jared is expelled, I deserve an explanation and to be treated fairly. If my son hits his classmate first, I will apologize and proceed with the compensation. If it were the other way around, I would expect the same in return.” Clearly, she was not stepping away.
At this point, the principal frowned with a strange expression. “Can we talk privately, Miss Tillman?” Principal Miller asked.
After the woman saw the principal’s reaction, she arched her eyebrow with a smug face and provoked, “So what if my son hit yours? Your son will still be expelled.”
Anastasia glared at her before walking toward Principal Tillman for the private conversation.
Principal Miller raised her head to look at Anastasia and she said solemnly, “Miss Tillman, please accept my apologies on behalf of the school regarding this incident. You may not know, but this lady’s husband is one of the shareholders of our company. It will be unwise to go against them. Here is the deal. I’ll give you a full refund for the school fee. Simply apologize to her and transfer your child to a different school.”
Anastasia knew in her heart that this woman must have the means to support her haughty attitude, but she didn’t expect her husband to be a shareholder in the school.
When Principal Miller noticed Anastasia remained silent, she continued, “It’s not the first time something like this has happened. Last time, the previous parent submitted the withdrawal application and left. Even if Jared stays here, I’m afraid they won’t let him go. I am doing this for Jared’s sake.”
Right then, a chubby man rushed through the door and exclaimed, “Where’s my son?”
“Honey, over here!” As soon as the woman noticed her husband had arrived, her smug grin became even more apparent. With her husband’s presence, the principal won’t dare to go against them.
In the meantime, Principal Miller was still waiting for Anastasia’s response as she doesn’t want to complicate the matters any further.
When Anastasia looked at the family, the woman smirked back at her with a contemptuous look. “Can our school set some threshold in the future, Principal Miller? Don’t just let anyone’s child in; or else these inferior people will impede my child’s development,” said the woman to the principal.
