After thinking for a moment, she decided to take them on Monday to check things our
Around nine in the morning, several teachers showed up at the door, “Ms. Thompson, we sincerely apologize. We didn’t recognize the situation. and we’re here to say sorry to Betty and Oscar”
the teachers formally apologized to her kids. She didn’t say much in response and had the butler walk them out.
These teachers were likely the ones with less involvement in the incident. After a week of detention, they paid fines and were released. A few of the more seriously involved teachers, however, were facing criminal charges
As for the principal of the school, he had resigned in disgrace, and it was said that he had moved abroad. Although these teachers were released. they had all been permanently stripped of their teaching qualifications, and they would never be able to teach again..
After more than ten years of studying, they had finally secured a stable job with a steady income, but they just didn’t appreciate it. For them, this punishment was severe enough
Early Monday morning. Lihe brought the kids to school. The new principal and several teachers were already waiting at the gate to greet them.
As they walked along. Elhe couldn’t help but frown at the unusually warm reception from the teachers. Honesty, she wasn’t used to this. However, sensing the teachers‘ goodwill, the kids gradually relaxed. Seeing some familiar classmates, they happily went up to greet them.
“Ms. Thompson, we’ve arranged for your kids to stay in their original class. The student who caused the issue has already been expelled, so you don’t need to worry. All of the teachers in this class have been replaced
“If you’re not satisfied, feel free to let us know, the new principal introduced the restructured teacher lineup for the class.
“Mr. Graham, although my kids have faced some unfair treatment here, we don’t want any special treatment. Ellie hesitated as she spoke
“It’s not a special treatment. The dean personally wiped down the chairs and gestured for the kids to sit. From the tone of Adrian’s words, it was clear these kids were from a significant background, and they needed to be treated with care.
Ellie stared at him, speechles
“Thank you.” Oscar said, pulling out a tissue to clean his hands. “Sir, I’ll clean my desk and chair myself”
“You’re so polite. I bet you have a great mom” the dean praised enthusiastically.
After a brief pause, Ellie hesitated before continuing. “Mr. Graham, could I have a word with you?”
- r. Thompson. We can head to the principal’s office. The new principal is waiting for you, Adrian spoke up, stepping out of the classroom.
“Are you going to be okay?” Ellie asked the kids one more time before leaving.
“Don’t worry, Morn, III take care of Henry, Oscar sat up straight in his seat, calm and obedient.
“Tim not scared. If anyone bullies me. I’ll just hear him up. If I can’t bear them, I’ll run away” Betty with our hand in her backpack seemed to be sneaking around with something

Ellie was clearly surprised to ser Alex

Ellie glanced at Alex, then at Barry. Harry quickly came over to explains, “Dr. Thompson, don’t get us wrong. Mr. Warren just bought a portion of JR. Group’s stock, and I’m just here for a tile”
Ellie shot a sharp look at Alex. In just a few days, he managed to buy shares in the internationally renowned JR Group. “You”

“It’s fine. I was just asking With Alex’s shares, Ellie would feel better knowing her kids would be staying here. “Go ahead and take care of your busness. I’ll just check on the kids and then head home, Ellie paused as they reached a corridor.
“Sure. I’ll go with you to see the kids, Alex said, tentatively lifting his hand to place it around her shoulder. Ellie glanced at hins, and he quickly withdrew his hand, striding ahead toward the classroom building.
The kids were in–class, and Ellie stood outside the window, watching them without interrupting

“Betty, you can’t run out of class like that. Why didn’t you follow the rules!” Ellie crouched down to Betty’s level.
Betty had her landi behind her back, speaking carefully, “Sorry, Mom. I just wanted to talk to him.
