In the office.
Serena stood straight in the middle, while the headteacher kept apologizing to Anabel's parents.
"You two may have misunderstood. Serena is usually a good girl. She couldn't have done such a thing. Moreover, she and Anabel have always been good friends."
In the head teacher's mind, Serena had always been the top student of the class and would always behave herself, be it with study or daily life.
Not only that, the test result from last time proved her much more excellent than the other students, not to mention the physical abilities she presented at the P.E. class.
In contrast, although Anabel had a lively personality, the headteacher had already caught her several times when she was in class playing mobile phones, copying others' homework, and ganging up with some hooligans around the school.
With these in her mind, Miss. Brooks decided to take Serena's side for the time being and tried to calm the parents down.
"Anabel's head is swollen as if being scorched by boiling water and her mouth keeps bleeding from the tooth knocked out!"
"She didn't tell us what happened but we have a pretty clear idea from the prints of palms on her face! My wife here had to go through her textbook for some clues."
"That was when she found this girl, Serena's name written all over the book! And I'm telling you I know she wrote them all down in extreme anger!"
"And her hair! Her hair was all cut! This is pure school violence and abuse! We are not letting this go!"
Hearing this, Miss. Brooks knew they were not lying so she looked at Serena and asked, "Serena, did you do what they said?"
"I did have her beaten," Serena admitted.
"I knew it was you! How could you have done this to a poor little girl? I'll skin you alive!" Mr. Parry went furious.
"Calm down. Let's sort this out. I don't really think Serena's one to hurt others without a proper reason." The teacher stopped Mr. Perry. She was so anxious that her head was sweating. But she had no one else to help her since it was session time.
There was no other teacher in the office and she was quite sure she would not be able to stop Mr. Perry if push came to shove.
"Anabel hit me first," Serena told the truth.
"I knew there was a reason. There must be some misunderstanding that requires sorting out."
"Misunderstanding? My daughter is lying on the bed in pain now and you are still on her side?"
"I warn you, if you don't ask this little wench here to compensate us, we'll call the reporters and file charges right away!"
"The whole world is gonna know about how corrupt this school is and how disgusting the teachers are here! And by then, well, I think you and I are both pretty clear about what the authority does to corrupt schools!"
With the speed of information spreading nowadays, Miss Brooks knew very well what Mr. Perry said could mean. With that realization, she slowly moved over to the parents' side.
"Serena, call your parents first." Miss Brooks decided that it would be best if the parents could solve this together.
Serena knew very well what could happen if she really did call Adam.
In the quiet meeting room seated with all the superiors of the company, Adam's phone vibrated. If it weren't anyone else, he wouldn't pick it up.
But it was his precious daughter calling him so he picked it up right before the second vibration could go off.
"Baby, what's wrong? Did you miss daddy?"
"Daddy, I slapped someone at school. And that someone's parents are here at the school. Miss Brooks wants you here."
Adam's face was full of excitement. "Baby, you hit someone? It's amazing. That's what they deserve. I remember back in the days when I was in school... Oh, right, you, is your hand okay?"
"Preciously, it was the bodyguard who slapped her."
"Right, that's what we pay those brawn for."
"Daddy, Miss Brooks wants you here,"
"Wow! Finally, I can visit your school. I have to tell your mommy to go. She has always wanted to see it too. But you never let us take a tour around there..."
"Daddy, it's not a tour!!! You are being summoned here!"
"Honey, honey! Serena asked us to visit her school..." Adam's excited voice came from the other side of the phone.
Then Adam came with Tracey happily. First of all, he had to evaluate the school's infrastructure.
"This school gate is a complete disaster. And the emblem of the school, what kind of trash is that? I'll have to talk to the school master about it." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Walking to the playground with a look of disdain, he asked, "You call this a playground? My bathtub is bigger than this. Get in contact with those buildings' owners later and buy off that piece of land. I want this playground bigger."
Walking and talking, Adam made his way to the building. Mr. Perry would come rushing to Adam but would be stopped by the bodyguards yards away.
"Beat the shit out of him. He's the one who messed with my daughter!"
Serena shook her head. Adam's arrival would definitely bring about this scene.
"Miss Brooks, then I'll go outside and give my dad a call."
"Go head."
While the teacher was comforting the parents, Serena called the family's driver and asked him a favor.
But the driver rejected before she could finish her words, "Young Madam, that... I can't do that! If Mr. Xiao finds out that I went to your school as your father, he's gonna sack me right on spot!"
"Mr. Zhang, I can sack you right on spot, this spot."
"Young Madam..." The driver was rendered speechless.
"You know how my dad is. If he were to find out I was slapped at school, do you really think this school can stand here for even one more day? Come on, Mr. Zhang, you gotta help me with this"
"You really are forcing my hands here, Young Madam!"
"I wouldn't be if there was anything else I could do. Don't worry, I'll take all the blame for this. You know how my dad spoils me, don't you?"
"Well, I'll be right there."
"Wait, Mr. Zhang, I remember telling my teacher that my dad's a janitor. So don't come in a suit. Find something so worn out that it has ragged. I can't have my identity exposed."
"Young Madam, the president will surely enrage upon finding you telling the teacher he's a janitor."
"No, he will not. Come quickly. By the way, don't drive. You'd better take a taxi. The less eyecatching the taxi is, the better! If they ask you for money later, just pay them. I'll transfer the money to you later!"
"I really don't under stand the hassle here..."
"I just wanna keep a low-profile, that's all!"
"Okay, okay, my Young Madam. I'll be right there. Wait for me."
"Okay." Serena came back after the call, "Miss Brooks, my dad is at work. He'll be here soon."
"Well, what does your father do?"
"Janitor." Serena told the lie again.
Adam, who was holding an important meeting, suddenly sneezed, which scared the secretary so much that she turn up the air conditioner immediately.
