Chapter 2677
Right after that, the parent sitting in front of Tommy piped in, “Mr. Collins, my child did well in Math too.Can he join the competition?"
Mr. Collins nodded and replied, "Of course. The training is free, but there's a limited number ofparticipants for each school. So, the school will organize a competition before the MathematicalOlympiad takes place to pick the students who'll participate."
The parent added, "My child is good at math. I'm sure he can do it. Mr. Collins, I'd like to register for mychild first."
"Sure, Mrs. Jenkins. Let me register for you," offered Mr. Collins.
Once Mrs. Jenkins said that to Mr. Collins, other parents also came to register for their children toparticipate in the mathematics training program, hoping that their kids could join the competition.
Mr. Collins was surrounded by the parents at once.
"Ms. Luca, I don't want to attend the training program after school," said Tommy. All he wanted was togo home and do his homework with Lanie and Rainie after school. He wanted to watch cartoons withthem as well. It was much more interesting than attending the training program after school.
"Be good. Let's listen to what your daddy says about it first." Luca stroked his head.
Ashley piped in, "Ms. Luca, Charlie's parents are walking toward us."
There was a hint of fear in the little girl's voice. Mrs. Hudson's behavior had frightened her yesterday.novelbin
Luca looked in the direction Ashley pointed at. They were really coming.
They were walking toward her with a smile on their faces.
Luca sensed that they did not come looking for trouble. She stared at the awkward smile on Mrs.Hudson's face. Something came into her mind. Were they here to curry favor with her?
Probably not...
How could who was someone so arrogant yesterday try to butter her up today?
However, Charlie's parents were truly walking toward her.
Luca met their gazes and waited for them to speak.
Mrs. Tuffey walked toward them nervously. She thought they were going to argue again. Sheimmediately said, "Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, I'd like to talk to you about Charlie's performance in class.Why don't we head over there?"
Mrs. Hudson knew Mrs. Tuffey misunderstood and thought that they came looking for trouble. In fact,they came to apologize to Luca.
“Mrs. Tuffey, I'd like to have a chat with Tommy's guardian," Mrs. Hudson immediately said.
The expression on Mrs. Tuffey's face turned awful, and she replied, "Mrs. Hudson, we're having aparentteacher conference now. This is the time for teachers to communicate with the parents about thestudents. If you have anything to tell her, can you please wait until the conference is over?"
“Don't worry, Mrs. Tuffey. We're not looking for trouble. We came to apologize to her today," said Mr.Hudson. The way he looked at Luca seemed like he was trying to please her.
Luca raised her brows. She was surprised to hear that.
Mrs. Tuffey did not expect them to want to apologize to Luca. Hence, she turned to look at Mrs.Hudson.
Mrs. Hudson nodded and said, "I'm sorry. I wasn't really myself yesterday. What I did was a badinfluence on the children. I made things difficult for her too. That's why I came to apologize."
"There's no need to do so." Luca rose to her feet and stared coldly at the couple in front of her. "You'reboth figures in the business world. You should know that you've already missed the best chance.There's nothing you can do about it. So, it'd be better if the two of you focus on the parent-teacherconference.
There's no need to apologize to me."
"I'm really sorry. Please don't sue us. I promise I won't do that anymore. I'll educate my child and teachhim not to cause any trouble at school." Mrs. Hudson became anxious when Luca refused to accepttheir apology. She could not help but utter her words quickly.
Luca knew what happened when she heard the word 'sue'.
She also understood that the Hudsons were not afraid of getting sued, but they knew Tommy wasLuke's son. They were afraid of offending Luke.
After all, part of their company's orders had something to do with T Corporation.
Luca did not expect Luke to be that fast. It only took him a day to find out who Mrs. Hudson was, andhe even asked his attorney to write a letter to them.
"It's a parent's responsibility to educate their child. Mrs. Hudson, it's not right for you to only realize thatit's your responsibility to educate your child after receiving a lawyer's letter, right?" Luca's facedarkened.
Mr. and Mrs. Hudson had already attracted the attention of the parents around them.
Everyone knew that Charlie's parents were running a successful business, but they were now humblyasking for forgiveness from the woman in front of them. The strange scene in front of them made themwonder who Luca was.
However, the way Luca dressed was like an ordinary white-collared worker.
Could a white-collared worker frighten the Hudsons?
Could it be that the child's father was an influential person?
"Yes, yes. You're right." Mrs. Hudson realized she said something wrong. She immediately patted herlips, making a gesture that looked like she was punishing herself. "I'm sorry. Miss, we've never receiveda proper education. Speaking wisely isn't our strong suit. Please forgive us."
Mrs. Tuffey understood what was going on when she saw how humble the Hudsons were.
Everyone was watching them. As a teacher, she had a feeling that the conference should be stopped.
Mrs. Tuffey had no choice but to mediate between Luca and the Hudsons. “It was just amisunderstanding. Why don't we talk in private about this? The principal will be here soon to have achat with everyone."
The principal was about to come here to ask for sponsorship to build the new academic building, butLuca and the Hudsons had caused a scene, making the situation worse.
Mrs. Tuffey was afraid that the principal would blame her for not doing her best.
Luca refused to let the others watch them talk with each other. The expression on her face was cold.She slightly nodded and said, "That's all. Let's settle this in court."
Mr. and Mrs. Hudson's faces turned pale when they heard that.
Even if they lost the lawsuit, it would not be a big deal after all. They did not have to compensate alarge amount of money. It did not matter to them.
However, offending Luke was what mattered the most.
Otherwise, they would not have been so eager to apologize to her.
"Miss, I think this can be settled outside the court. Why don't we treat you and Tommy's parents to ameal? Let's talk over dinner." Mr. Hudson was planning to apologize to Luke in person.
However, before he apologized, he had to meet him first.
"It's okay. I wasn't the one who looked for an attorney to write the letter. It was Tommy's father whodecided to sue you. So, there's nothing much I can do about it. Tommy has accepted your apology, butit's not up to me to make the final decision on how this ends. It'd be better for the two of you to return toyour seats. The principal is here." Luca glanced at the door. The principal was already at the classroomdoor.
It sent a shiver down Mrs. Tuffey's spine. She immediately informed everyone, "Please return to yourseats. Let us welcome the principal to give his speech."
The Hudsons had no choice but to return to their seats next to Charlie.
The reason Mr. and Mrs. Hudson came together this time was not because they took the parent-teacher conference seriously but because there was no way they could get in touch with Luke throughother ways and apologize to him.
Hence, they could only attend the parent-teacher conference to try their luck.
