Chapter 817 Even I Cannot Put You In Your Place
James dared to speak in such a way because he felt that Nathan's call was a bluff.Also, he was well connected to the leadership of Alberesque, and hence, the mayor would still have to be respectful to him.
However, what he didn't expect was that the moment he finished, an angry voice boomed from behind. "James Miller, whatmakes you think that even | can't put you in your place?"
Shocked, James snapped his head in the direction of the voice.
He then saw the mayor, the director of education, the head of the disciplinary board, and the chief of the police investigation unit.Behind the group of leaders were an even larger group of subordinates.
Startled, James responded with a trembling voice, "Mis-mis-Mr. Crow, you're all here!"
Russell had an angry expression on. "No, no, no, I'm not the mayor, you are. | think Channing has become your own backyardgiven how much impunity you are acting with."
Meanwhile, James was trembling vigorously and sweating buckets. His words started to sound like a mumble. "Mr. Crow, | admitmy words were out of line. | was just infuriated by this young man, and hence spoke without thinking.”
"Mr. Crow, please don't take what | said seriously."Russell sternly retorted, "Out of line?"
"| have long heard reports of you overstepping the authority of the director of education and abusing your position for your ownpersonal gain."
"Initially, | thought that the reports exaggerated your behavior but you have shown me the truth."
Turning pale, James replied in defiance, "This is slander. | have never abused my position for personal gain. I'm sure you canjudge for yourself!"
When Russell saw that James was still trying to worm his way out, he admonished him, "Haven't you? Why don't you explain tome what happened to the poetry contest?"
"Didn't you use your influence to ensure your son got first place? And didn't you abuse your power to mark down Mr. Cross"daughter's result for revenge?"novelbin
James defended himself vehemently, "I didn't interfere with the results. My son got first place on his own merit while Mr. Cross"daughter didn't place at all due to her incompetence."
