Chapter 1295
Sunlight Kindergarten shot to the top of trending topics due to the food safety incident. Parents startedbombarding the school’s group chat and demanded answers. Teachers remained clueless and werehesitant to respond. Lydia was a coward who proved herself as a money-minded opportunist. She didnot dare show her face now that things were not going well.
Regardless of how the parents asked for an explanation in the group, Lydia remained silent andavoided the heat.
Unable to locate Lydia, the parents somehow managed to get hold of Hylda’s number.
Hylda had just caught wind of the news about the school cafeteria, and she was still processing theshock. She could not believe that Lydia did not bother to give her a heads-up when the kindergartenwas under inspection.
One minute, she was strategizing with Sophia about how to counter Stella’s next move; the followingminute, news about the kindergarten’s kitchen safety was blowing up on social media.
As the parents flooded her with calls, Hylda was also on the hunt for Lydia. Hylda did not know whatwas going on at first. After picking up a call, she was met with harsh words from the parents.
“You heartless, low-life scum! What the hell have you been feeding my son?! You’re making a fortunefrom this shady business. Aren’t you afraid that it’ll come back to haunt your own child?! Why don’t youjust kill yourself?”
Hylda’s face turned dark, as she hung up. Before she could catch her breath, her phone rang again,displaying yet another unfamiliar local number.
Hylda hesitated to answer. But the parents were not willing to let her off the hook. Soon, a flurry ofenraged messages showed up on her phone.novelbin
The parents were fuming, and their messages were highly unpleasant. Hylda’s face turned pale fromanger. She switched off her phone and swapped it with another one. She then dashed out of the housewithout considering her recent miscarriage and incomplete physical recovery.
She hopped into the Audi A6 she had taken from the Jewell family and zoomed off toward GreenwoodGrove.
At that point, there was no need to fight any more public opinion battles. Whether they won or lostagainst Stella was no longer important. The real urgency lay in the fact that Lydia’s recklessness mightlead to Hylda facing jail time.
Hylda’s anger grew, as she drove to her destination. Back when they were co-managing thekindergarten, Hylda had proposed hiring a principal to oversee things.
Naturally, a principal would demand a higher salary than the average teacher. But, Lydia, the penny-pincher, did not want to cough up the extra cash. Instead, she volunteered to run the school.
She bragged about managing a relative’s kindergarten before and being well-acquainted with theoperations.” Handling the kids will be a breeze,” she claimed. “We only have to take care of their mealsand entertainment.”
Lydia also boasted about running a restaurant and being an excellent chef. She guaranteed that thechildren would be well-fed.
Hylda was skeptical but decided to give her a shot. She agreed to let Lydia manage the kindergartenfor two months, with the understanding that if things did not pan out, they would immediately find a newprincipal.
Lydia eagerly agreed to the terms.
During those two months, Lydia’s performance was commendable. However, Hylda noticed that shewas being overly frugal with the ingredients. Moreover, she frequently asked the teachers to turn off thedormitory air conditioner during the summer. She claimed that she did not feel hot.
These two issues irked Hylda. She was practical and believed that they should not skimp on minorexpenses when running a business. She was convinced that parents were willing to spend good moneyon their children’s wellbeing. Even if tuition and meals had to be slightly more expensive, it wouldprevent complaints about their services.
Lydia promised to upgrade the ingredients and did so in no time. At that time, Hylda would inspect thecafeteria every now and then to ensure that Lydia was not lying behind her back. Satisfied, she beganfocusing more on her life after her marriage to Albert in the latter half of the previous year. Thus, hervisits to the school cafeteria became less frequent.
Who would have guessed that the issue she had initially been concerned about would end up in suchtrouble?
‘Lydia is such a nearsighted simpleton! I wouldn’t have teamed up with that dim-witted liability if I wasn’tlacking funds,’ thought Hylda.
