Chapter 364
The door opened, and a woman strode into the administration office while her high heels tapped on the floor. Stella turnedaround and saw a woman in black leggings with heavy makeup on her face. She wore a tiny leather skirt and a coat. She wasnot short nor tall and had an outstanding figure. The woman looked curvy and was probably not over forty years old. Stellathought that she was pretty and looked familiar.
While Stella was inspecting the woman, the woman, too, was examining Stella. Seeing Stella’s young appearance, her eyesshowed disdain. But when she saw Keegan, she froze in her tracks. Her eyes wandered all over Keegan before coming into theroom. Behind her was a lean, middle -aged man with greasy hair, glasses, and a neat suit.
Stella wondered who the man was when Ms. Ada said, “Mr. Harrison.” Mr. Harrison did not even spare a glance at Ms. Ada.Instead, he walked forward courteously and pulled up a chair. He then turned to Ms. Ada and said, “Ms. Ada, why are youstanding there? Make a cup of my finest tea for Mrs. Chapman...”
Stella raised her eyebrows. ‘Mrs. Chapman? Is everyone with the surname Chapman so difficult to get along with?”
Olivia waved her hand impatiently and said, “I’m not here to drink tea, Mr. Harrison. I’m here to listen to your explanation. Youpromised to give me a day ago, and I’ve been waiting. So? Where is it? | thought you'd settled this matter since you called meover, but what's this? Are they asking us to make up for that orphan kid’s fault? What kind of disciplinary system are you runninghere?!”novelbin
Mr. Harrison bowed and said, “My apologies, Mrs. Chapman. Rest assured. | will get to the bottom of this and explainreasonably.” He turned around and put on a straight face as he said, “Ms. Ada, what's going on here? | thought you said youwould handle this. It’s been a few days now. So what’s the result? Why are these people here making a scene?”
Ms. Ada looked embarrassed. “Mr. Harrison, these are Julian’s guardians. They came to school today to discuss this matter.’“What's there to discuss?” Mr. Harrison said in a serious tone. “Il have never witnessed such a
vicious incident since the establishment of our school. The classroom is a sacred and inviolable place where students acquireknowledge. Julian, however, violated the school motto of unity and kindness when he hit his classmate in front of his teacher.This shall not go unpunished. We do not condone violence here. What do you think will happen when other students follow in hisfootsteps? What will happen to our school’s reputation?”
Mr. Harrison put everything on Julian, but Ms. Ada spoke up for him, “Mr. Harrison, both parties are responsible for this matter.Julian was not the one who initiated the fight. | could not get ahold of Julian’s guardian’s before this, but they’re here now. Canwe all sit down and talk about how to solve this matter calmly?”
Mrs. Chapman frowned, “What are you instigating? What do you mean both parties are responsible?”
As she said that, Olivia pulled Raymond over, pointed to the wound on his head, and said, “My son’s head is injured because ofthat little bastard. He hit him with a fucking chair, for god sake. My baby had to get three stitches in the hospital! Who will beresponsible when my son’s
grades are affected by this injury in the future, huh?”
Ms. Ada was only good at speaking when she was in the classroom. She was still young and careless in her speech. So,naturally, she was at a loss for words after that.
Mr. Harrison looked at Stella and Keegan and said, “Both of you have witnessed Raymond's injury’s seriousness. The impact ofthis incident is bad. The school board had made deliberation on expelling Julian, but Ms. Ada begged us for mercy. So, since heis a first-time offender, please pack his things and leave this school.”
‘What's the difference between getting expelled and being persuaded to leave?’ Julian’s face was livid as he clenched his fists onhis knees while Keegan casually pushed the cup of tea to him. Julian froze for a moment. Then, he looked up to meet Keegan’scalm eyes and suddenly cooled down.
He seems to have understood what Keegan was trying to tell him through his eyes, “We're not there yet. So why are you gettingmad?”
Stella waited for Mr. Harrison to finish speaking before she looked at him and said, “Mr. Harrison, right? Which shitty universitydid you graduate from?”
