His Domineering Lover

Chapter 886

The driver soon arrived. In order to fulfill the task given to him, he deliberately dressed up as a janitor. He bought the clothes by the roadside for 200 bucks.

The orange jumpsuit soon attracted the attention from students passing by as he made his way to the headteacher's office.

Looking at the man in his fifties, dressed in a janitor's uniform, the teacher pushed her glasses.

Judging from Serena's face and her temperament, her father should not be like this. But after thinking about it, she decided that Serena might look more like her mother.

"Ahem, so you are Serena's parent?"

"Yes, I'm Serena's legal guardian."

"Since you are her father, she has beaten my daughter and made her head swell. What do you think we should do?" Anabel's dad saw that Serena's father looked all thin and weak, he propped up his chest like a proud cock.

The driver's professional instinct flared up. He immediately took a 90-degree bow and said, "I'm sorry, sorry for the trouble brought upon you.

His sincere attitude made Anabel's father a little embarrassed, unable to snap.

Upon seeing this, Miss Brooks quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Since that's the case and Serena didn't do it on purpose, let's put it all behind us."

"Behind? Easy for you to say. Who will pay for my daughter's medical fees?" Mr. Perry finally put forward his true intentions.

"So, money's what you are after." The driver was not surprised. Before Mr. Perry could say anything else, he continued, "That's totally reasonable. I got ten grand here, do you think that can cover it?"

The Xiao family, unsurprisingly, paid their drivers quite well. Seeing the "janitor" taking out a stack of 100-dollar bill shocked Mr. Perry.

What he actually spent at the hospital for Anabel was actually only a few dozen bucks.

He was hoping for nothing more than one grand, two tops.

Seeing the suspicious expressions on Mr. Perry's face, Serena knew she had to make the act more convincing, so she said, "Dad, that's what you make in four months... I'm really sorry..."

The driver also immediately understood the hints and said, "Serena, it's okay. All I ask of you is that you study hard and don't make any trouble at school from now on."

"I will definitely do."

Hearing this, Miss Brooks also felt a bit pitiful towards them. After all, according to what they said, they might have a quite hard time in the coming few months. "Mr. Perry, wouldn't you say ten grand is a bit too much? You heard what they said... do you..."

"Do I what? What? My daughter was almost disfigured! I could've sued his a*s for much more than ten grand! I'm already showing mercy! If this ever happens again, ten grand's not gonna cut it!" Fearing that the money might be taken back, Mr. Perry took hold of Mrs. Perry and stormed out of the room.

Knowing that the Perrys clearly bullied Serena's father, an honest and simple man, Miss Brooks said, "Serena, take heed in the future and I hope what happened this time is a lesson learned for you. If anything like this ever happens again, do remember to come to me first, alright?"

"I get it, Miss Brooks. Thank you."

"Sure thing."

The driver also took the opportunity to leave, heaving a sigh of relief for finally completing the task.

As for Miss Brooks, she not only didn't plan to punish Serena but also somehow felt quite pitiful towards her for having to suffer such a blow. At the school gate, the driver wiped his sweats and asked, "Was that good, young madam?"

"You've done a good job. I'll ask daddy to raise your salary this month. I'm counting on you to help me next time."

"There's a next time?" The driver was happy to hear that the salary could be raised.

"Of course, it's getting late. I won't keep you then, you got a job to do, the real one I mean."

The driver looked at Serena's back. This child was too mature and calm, not the way a 12-year-old should be.

Serena had successfully solved this problem, but there was another piece of news that spread like wildfire.

Her father was a janitor, which was like a bomb dropped among the gossipers, who used to be so envious of Serena for being almost perfect.

Now that they knew of her miserable family background, everyone instantly balanced in their hearts and finally found Serena's weakness.

"Serena, the janitor who just left is your father?"

"Sophie, you say it like it's some kind of a disgrace to be a janitor! He's also making contributions to society in his own way!"

"I'm not saying that, am I? I also think it's even some sort of an honor to be a janitor. There's nothing wrong with being a janitor, you gotta have a job, don't you?"

They kept on repeating the word janitor on purpose, trying to make Serena feel bad about herself and her low-life of a father.

They underestimated Serena. Not to mention that her father was not a cleaner, even if he was, it didn't matter. She never did look down upon on any profession.

"You are so noisy." Serena turned around and left.

"Look, she is angry. Oh, God is indeed fair. Her father is a janitor."

"Indeed! I thought her parents must be some sort of government higher- ups or some business tycoon. Since her father's a janitor, then her mom must be a dish washers or a waitress. That's the perfect match!" Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ha, ha, ha.”

Serena turned a deaf ear to whatever they had to say. So what even if what they said was true? Each and every occupation, since they existed, should be respected. They made it sound like janitors and waitresses did not have the right to have their own children, which was disgusting and ridiculous to Serena.

Everyone slowly forgot that she had slapped Anabel, but the news that her father was a janitor was pushed to the teeth of the storm.

When school ended, Serena went to the corner as usual, and Avery was waiting for her there.

An Audi stopped in front of her. Arnav Ratliff sat inside and rolled down the window. "Serena, let me drive you home."

Obviously, he had also heard about Serena's family, which gave him the confidence that even Serena didn't like her now, it was just a matter of time before she did.

"Thank you, but no." Serena took a few steps forward and Arnav caught up again.

"Serena, it's not safe for a girl like you to go home alone. I insist."

"I said no." This time, Serena did not even turn her head.

"Follow her." Arnav was not one to give up so easily and it was even more so after what happened at the school this day. He intended to find out where Serena lived so that he could go there every morning to pick her up and then broke her guards down brick by brick.

Serena glanced at the Audi out of the corner of her eye and took out her phone to make a call to Avery.

Soon, the Audi was caught in between by some cars coming out of nowhere, and Serena took the opportunity to get into Avery's car.

"This is so absurd!" She suddenly regretted coming to this school.

Back at the school she used to go to, every student there came from rather wealthy families and she had nothing like this to worry about.
