Chapter 1471Chapter 1471 Locking Horns
“Probably a lapdog to her family? Haha…” All the students in the class burst out laughing upon seeing
that.
As Vivian had been living abroad all this while, she found it hard to comprehend the language spoken
locally. Hence, she could not understand their conversations, let alone deciphered what they were
laughing at.
She stood there with a blank face until Kurt, whom she was looking for went to her. He stretched out his
arms and covered both her ears with his hands.
“Kurt?”
“Let’s go,” he said indifferently.
novelbinAfter leaving the place, he put down his hands and habitually placed them in his pockets.
Seeing so, Vivian grabbed his arms and pulled them out of his pockets. Then, she gently held his with
her delicate hands.
The boy was rendered speechless.
“Kurt, Uncle Solomon is here. Let’s head out to dine with him. He will help me handle the matter
thereafter,” said Vivian.“Sure.” Kurt did not refuse her. Instead, he allowed her to lead the way, holding his hands.
When they saw Solomon, he was in his car. Upon seeing the two young individuals, Solomon got out
and opened the door to the back seat for them.
“Vivi, is this your little friend?” As the only adult present, Solomon posted a casual question with a smile
as soon as he saw her.
Delighted, Vivian did not hesitate to make the introduction. “Yes, Uncle Solomon. This is Kurt,
especially handpicked by Great-grandpa. He’s really intelligent. In a recent exam, he passed with flying
colors and came out first in his grade.”
He’s that good, huh?
Solomon could not help but give the boy a once-over.
He realized that Kurt had been standing there quietly since moments ago. When their gazes met, the
boy looked away and hung his head low.
He seems like a fine boy, though quite bashful and shy.
Solomon was quite relieved to see Vivian having a seemingly simple-minded and innocent friend. He
never wanted her to hang around people with evil intentions. After all, Vivian grew up as everyone’s
favorite, who was spoiled rotten by the entire family. Compared to Ichika, Vivian was even more naive
and pure-hearted.
Subsequently, Solomon took the two children out for a meal.As they were eating, Solomon noticed that Kurt had very good table manners and etiquettes unlike
Vivian, who would gobble up her food.
Obediently, Kurt held the cutlery in style and chewed his food with his mouth closed. He seemed like a
wonderful child.
Suddenly, Solomon’s phone rang.
“Hey Solomon, the person in charge from the school has contacted me a while ago. He said that we’re
allowed to go see your niece’s work. Head over here soon, will you?”
“All right.” Solomon’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the news.
Vivian asked, “Is it sorted, Uncle Solomon?”
“Yup. Let’s finish up our lunch, and I’ll bring you to your teacher,” he replied.
Vivian was hesitant.
“She has a study session later, so she can’t get a leave,” the boy spoke in a nonchalant tone all of a
sudden.
He did it so naturally that it startled Solomon, who turned and cast a gaze on him.
It’s my first time hearing him speak.
In the end, Solomon let it be. After taking the two kids back to school for their self-study session, he
proceeded to the office building once again.
“Mr. George, this is the work submitted by your niece. Upon investigating, we regret to inform you that
we’ve made a mistake. This isn’t actually her work.”Surprised, he did not expect the person in charge to showcase Vivian’s work, let alone apologized for
their fault.
Instantly, Solomon was enraged.
“So? That’s it? You’re just going to conclude this issue with a mere sentence? Did you know that my
niece was deeply hurt by this incident? I purposely made a trip here to find out what was going on. Had
I not done that, would my niece be expelled for no apparent reason?” he bombarded them with a series
of questions furiously.
Immediately, the person in charge’s face turned scarlet.
“I’m terribly sorry, Mr. George. I didn’t know about this beforehand. We’ve just received an anonymous
report, alleging that someone has tampered with the work. That’s how we discovered the truth. Mr.
George, please let us know how we can compensate you. We promise to do our best to satisfy your
request.”
“An anonymous report? By whom?” Upon hearing a key phrase, Solomon pursued further.
However, the person in charge did not explain clearly. He only mentioned that someone called up the
school to expose the matter.
Additionally, he was informed that the rightful owner of the work was Vivian’s wealthy classmate. It was
highly likely for that classmate to intentionally get someone to swap the work.
“Mr. George, Helena was always ranked first in class before Vivian’s arrival. Now that she’s no longer in
the limelight, she might have responded to the situation negatively. Mr. George, it’s one of those pranks
that the children pull on others. I’ll definitely educate Helena on this. However, I don’t recommend you
take any action against her.”“Why not?”
“This is because her father belongs to the royal family. If this matter gets out of hand, I’m afraid that
your niece may suffer in school. Although I’m aware of Vivian’s powerful background, she’s now in
Yartran. What do you think?” the person in charge reminded Solomon about the reality.
