Chapter 895
Everyone felt unfair for Serena. No one deserved to have nail planted in their shoes just because they studied well.
"Guess that's the upside of being a bad student. At least I wouldn't be the target of something like this."
"Jeez, I literally just got goosebumps!"
The people on the playground began to talk again. They didn't know what choice Serena's parents would make after they knew the truth.
Looking at Katie's face twisted because of jealousy, Serena finally understood how vicious a human being could be just for what she craved.
Katie thought that she was studying at home every day. Actually, apart from attending classes, Serena never read after class, not even for exams.
She had an incredibly strong memory And what Katie would never know was that she had started to learn junior high courses long ago with Avery.
She almost had a photographic memory, which meant she would remember everything she ever laid her eyes on. That was the ability every woman in the R family was born with.
Also, Serena took greatly after Adam, who was also extremely smart. All Serena had to do was to pay a little bit more attention in class and her test results would skyrocket right to the sky.
Every day after school, when Katie went home to study crazily, Serena usually practiced the piano for a while and read some classic novels, War and Peace, for example.
Sometimes it was a TV show or going out for some sports. Though she had few friends and a rather boring life, the last thing she would do was to recall what had been taught in school.
The two of them lived in completely different environments whereas Katie's hard work backfired, reduced her efficiency instead of making her better.
"So you are the one who did this and it has nothing to do with anyone else?" Serena confirmed.
"Yes, it's all my responsibility. I did it on impulse. If you want to punish me, just punish me. Leave my dad out of this."
When Adam saw that Katie was just a child, who set Serena up for such an absurd reason, he was also very speechless.
Although he sympathized with her for her lack of talent and repeated failure, he would not let go of anyone who hurt Serena.
"I will not evaluate your view of right and wrong first. But as the director of teaching, your father should set an example for you. He is an adult and should be able to tell right from wrong.
However, he didn't do such a thing. Not only did he cover you up, but he also let you continue. He is the one who made the biggest mistake. President, do you know what to do?"
The principal, who was finally mentioned by Adam, stood up immediately and said, "President Xiao, our school has always been responsible for teaching and fostering. Such a thing has never happened before.
Tegan is not only the shame of our high school, but also the scum of the education industry. We shall not tolerate the existence of such a person.
"If he can't discipline his daughter well, how can he discipline the other students? Tegan, you have been fired."
The principal realized that Adam didn’t wanna do anything to a mere girl and then decided to make his move on Tegan.
At this time, he should be standing on the same front as Adam and he was determined to show his loyalty.
Adam frowned slightly and said, "We can never be too cautious for beings like him. I will report this in the whole industry, and he will no longer be able to work in the educational industry in the future."
Upon hearing that her father was about to be fired, Katie's expression changed drastically. "It's all my fault. If you want to punish anyone, then punish me. Don't do this to my father."
"Of course did something wrong as well. But we will show you some mercy, given your young age and ignorance.
As long as you apologize to Serena in front of all the students and publish a letter of apologize on the newspaper, this can be put behind us."
It might seem a rather trivial thing to be carried out, but the psychological impact on the young girl was beyond measure.
This also meant that Katie would have to spend the next few years under the strange gazes of others.
Tracey coldly looked at Katie, "Perhaps you're not satisfied with this and think that you've made a minor mistake, which calls for no such heavy consequences."
Katie looked at Tracey in disbelief. She actually managed to guess what was going on in her mind.
Tracey's mouth curved into a cold smile. "Do not think any vice trivial, and so practise it; do not think any virtue trivial, and so neglect it. I believe that your parents haven't taught you this."
"Although your nail is not fatal, it is very likely to make people become disabled for a lifetime."
"To be diligently hardworking is a good thing and competitiveness is a personal choice. But the jealously arisen from it and the evil idea that you had and even practiced is despicable."
"Everyone should pay for his or her mistakes. We are only taking it lightly on you because you are still young. Today, if it were someone else, it wouldn't be so easy."
Whether Tegan was or was not her father didn't matter anymore after what he had done. It was just what Katie did was not that serious as what Tegan did.
Tegan's face was ashen. Not only did he lose his job, his daughter was to live under the shadow of mockery from now all. He felt as if all hope had sapped away from his life.
"Serena, do you have any problem with such a punishment?"
"No." Serena shook her head. This mistake was enough for Katie to remember for the rest of her life.
"That's good. Tegan, come and get the resignation formalities done." The principal's face changed immediately from the smile he had while he was talking to Serena as he turned to Tegan.
"Mr. Principal, I have one more thing to say."
"Go right ahead, Miss Xiao."
If the Principal had a tail, he would have wagged it in front of Serena.
"Since the position of director of teaching is about to be vacant, I have a very good substitute."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Do enlighten me."
"Miss Brooks, although she is a little younger, she is a kind person and knows right and wrong. The students also like her very much. I believe that she is the best person to be in that position." Serena did not forget that every time she was in problem, Miss Brooks would step up for her.
"Exactly what I had in mind, Miss Xiao. Great minds do think alike, I presume. Miss Brooks is indeed the best choice we can have."
"That's it. I'll wait for her apology on the playground tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock sharp." Adam's expression became a little better.
"Serena, now you must go home with me and let the private doctors examine your feet." Tracey looked at Serena coldly.
"Yes, mom." Serena lowered her head.
They came out of the radio room and got on the
helicopter with Serena in Avery's arms under the witness of all the students.
They still found it hard to believe that such a thing was actually happening in real life and that Serena was really from an extremely wealthy family.
Even the principal addressed her respectfully as Miss Xiao, which made her seem like almost a princess.
