Nevertheless, who would expect Ms.
Thompson, who often found faults in students, to have good hearing.
When she heard Sammey’s words, she shouted, “Sammey, what did you say?!”
Sammey did not bother to hide it since he was caught.
He raised his head and said, “I said Nicole tutored us better than you! Unlike you who would insult after
teaching us a while, Nicole respects us.
And I can comprehend everything she explains! An ‘excellent teacher’ like you are incompetent!”
As soon as those words came out from Sammey’s mouth, Ms.
Thompson raised her hand angrily.
She was on the verge of slapping him.
Just when she was about to slap him, a fair and slender hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
There was a bracelet of red woven yarn on the wrist of the hand.
It was neither thick nor thin.
The hand had a strong grip.
No matter how hard Ms.
Thompson struggled, she could not even shake the bracelet.
It was as if the hand had infinite strength, making her unable to move.
Sammey, who was ready to take a slap, saw nothing happen after waiting for a long while.
When he looked up, he called out in surprise, “Boss!”
However, Nicole did not look at him.
Instead, she waved her phone indolently at Ms.
Thompson, “He asked for you,” she said indifferently.
Then, ignoring Ms.
Thompson’s resentful face, she shoved the phone into Ms.
Thompson’s hand in the air.
Although Ms.
Thompson had no intention to speak on Nicole’s phone the slightest, Nicole had already pressed it to her
ear.
Ms.
Thompson could not move her hand, but that did not stop her from mocking Nicole, “Do you really think
you can sway the school’s decision with a phone call? Nicole, you are too ignorant, our school is…”
mr. Ellison frowned upon hearing her voice reached mr. Ellison from the other side of the phone.
Never did he expect Ms.
Thompson, who always looked serious, to say such a thing.
He called out coldly, “Ms.
Thompson.”
Ms.
Thompson’s mouth that was still talking suddenly widened, her lips trembling.
She quivered as she answered, “mr. Ellison?” She had never expected Nicole could make a phone call
to the school principal! mr. Ellison was someone not even Ms.
Thompson herself could reach.
Yet, Nicole could contact him directly.
It was a shocking discovery! Reminded of her words, Ms.
Thompson felt so regretful to the point that she had wanted to cut her tongue off. The entire Class B also
became silent when they heard Ms.
Thompson addressed the person on the other side as “mr. Ellison.” They exchanged look repeatedly
then broke out in a cold sweat. Vivian in the first row had her nails embedded in her palms.
She had never expected that Nicole could contact mr. Ellison directly! ‘What is her relationship with the
Ellison family?’ Almost everyone looked at Nicole in horror.
‘We all have badmouthed Nicole to some point.
We will face doom if Nicole, who is backed by mr. Ellison, wants to pay back’ Nicole would probably
sneer if she heard their thoughts.
After all, she did not need mr. Ellison if she really wanted a payback. Ms.
Thompson listened to mr. Ellison on the other end of the phone, her face getting paler. mr. Ellison did not
sound harsh but his voice imposing.
“Ms.
Thompson, is this a proper way to treat students? Giving penalty indiscriminately and asking the school
to expel students based on subjective assumptions? Tell me who gave you the authority?” Ms.
Thompson did not dare to admit such wrongdoings.
“mr. Ellison, it was Nicole who started the fight…” mr. Ellison said flatly, “I’ve already asked Nicole about
that.
It was Jessy who came to Class B to provoke her first.
If you still insist to blame Nicole, we can fetch the surveillance footage to verify the facts.” Ms.
Thompson looked at Jessy, who had been trying to reduce her presence by remaining silent.
At this time, she kept her head lowered her head with a guilty conscience, wishing to bury herself in the
soil. She had been frightened by Nicole yesterday, but she had to come here unwillingly because mr.
Kennedy insisted her to come with Ms.
Thompson.
When Ms.
Thompson saw Jessy’s behavior, she understood what was going on.
She became even more nervous.” mr. Ellison, I’m sorry.
I was too reckless.
I didn’t check the facts thoroughly before making a judgment.
But Jessy didn’t make it clear, and Nicole didn’t explain it well…” mr. Ellison’s voice became grave as he
listened to silver-tongued Ms.
Thompson.
“Ms.
Thompson, it’s not me you should apologize to It’s Nicole.
I’m sure you know what to do.” Ms.
Thompson heard what mr. Ellison implied.
She was so frightened that she said sorry to Nicole four or five times.
“Nicole, I’m the one at fault this time.
Please forgive me!” Nicole looked at her frightened look and said, “Apologize to her.” There was no
change on her facial expression. Ms.
Thompson followed Nicole’s eyes and saw Lulu, whom she had just scolded because Lulu was speaking
for Nicole: Without delay, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’m sorry.
Not only did I refuse to listen to you when you were telling the truth, but I also even reprimanded you.
I’m so sorry!” Lulu was a little flattered by Ms.
Thompson’s apology.
After all, most teachers would just drop the matter after wrongly scolding students.
How many students would expect apology from a teacher? Lulu had no experience dealing with it, so
she looked at Nicole hurriedly. After seeing Lulu looking at her, Nicole whispered, “Is that okay?” Lulu
responded with a nod.
Only then did Nicole look at Ms.
Thompson with icy cold eyes.
“Ms.
Thompson, I don’t mind about what you have said to me.
But if you continue to insult my friends, I don’t think you deserve to be a homeroom teacher.
“It’s true that a student’s academic performande is important, but you can’t judge their personality based
on their academic performance.
When students go astray, what you should do is to guide them instead of insulting them and undermining
their confidence.
I think Austin and his friends are smart.
But the way you described them sounded like their grades were beyond saving.
You’re their teacher.
What should they do when even you think so?” Austin and his gang looked at her when they heard this,
feeling moved. “Boss…” Everyone would see them as the scum of the society.
No one had ever said such a thing about them. A hint of disdain flashed in Ms.
Thompson’s eyes.
‘Nicole doesn’t do well in her study, yet she lectures me about virtue.
I have taught Harvey the top twelve-grader.
Austin and his friends have performed poorly even though they are only in the twelve grade now.
They are beyond saving that even I don’t bother about them.’ TIT Nicole saw Ms.
Thompson’s face and knew what she was thinking.
She said calmly, “If this is the case, we can have a bet.
I reckon that Austin and his friends will make it into the list of top 20 students in this monthly exam even if
they don’t listen to your lessons!” Ms.
Thompson had long been eager to get rid of those students whose grades were at the bottom.
Ms.
Thompson looked at Nicole, thinking that she was ignorant, and sneered, “You the one who decide this.
No one is forcing you.
$o not even mr. Ellison can interfere.” Nicole knew what Ms.
Thompson was afraid of So when she heard those words, she said with a half-smile, “Of course.
If I lose, I will leave the Royal Creek Institute by myself.
But if you lose, you must apologize to Austin and his friends with everyone in the school present over the
three-year mistreatment you gave them!”
