If it is truly as she says, then would appointing a new principal who is not acquainted with the situation really ensure that nothing happens to the children?
The children who come to study at Genesis Academy have either wealthy or noble backgrounds; no one would want their child’s principal to abruptly change without any indication.
This, compared to punishing Principal Shaw, would probably be even less convincing.
"Chairman, your logic seems flawless, but in reality, it’s just a front," Evelyn Clayton couldn’t be bothered to waste words and directly stripped it to its core, "If other parents know the principal is being replaced temporarily, they might be even less agreeable."
Upon hearing this, the chairman’s smile stiffened for a moment and became somewhat forced.
She tugged at her lips and said, "Well, we have considered this. So, the newly appointed principal this time is someone with a very strong reputation in the educational field, which is absolutely not a problem. But—" For original chapters go to novel⁂fire.net
While speaking, the chairman gave Evelyn Clayton a probing look, "Actually, we haven’t sent the dismissal letter to Principal Shaw yet. If you can get Sharon to return to Genesis Academy, then this matter is still negotiable."
Evelyn Clayton’s gaze grew colder.
After a long silence, the chairman across from her also noticed she might have misspoken, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
Only then did Evelyn Clayton slowly speak, "Chairman, are you threatening me?"
"No, you’ve misunderstood." The chairman’s face showed a hint of panic, "I only..."
"Want Sharon to return to Genesis Academy. That is not possible." Evelyn Clayton stood up as she spoke, her tone icy, "Not to mention this incident already made me very dissatisfied with your school’s level of care for the students. Since the incident, during Sharon’s hospitalization, not once did your school send anyone to visit her."
Initially, Evelyn Clayton didn’t want to dwell on this issue. To put it bluntly, this incident really had little to do with the school, as seen from the surveillance footage.
However, Mr. He’s and Principal Shaw’s matters today, as well as the chairman’s attitude, increasingly dissatisfied Evelyn Clayton.
The chairman, seeing her about to leave, became somewhat flustered, apologetically stood up to stop her, "Sharon’s mom, I didn’t mean it that way... As for when Sharon was hospitalized—we were only afraid of disturbing her rest, so we didn’t visit. In fact, I planned to visit her personally this weekend, you see..."
Evelyn Clayton couldn’t be bothered to speak further with her and bluntly interrupted her—
"Chairman, regarding Mr. He’s and Principal Shaw’s retention or removal, I cannot make the decision. It seems my advice on this matter will not be taken into account by you, so please do as you see fit. I will only say this: If your school ever attributes the main reason for any teacher’s dismissal to Sharon, exposing her to the public, I will not let it go easily."
With that, Evelyn Clayton left without a backward glance.
The chairman took two steps forward but, seeing Evelyn Clayton resolute in her departure, grudgingly stopped in her tracks.
A young teacher from the admissions office, observing the situation, cautiously stepped forward and said, "Chairman, is that parent so important? Isn’t our school filled with many children from wealthy families—"
The chairman glared at the young teacher, and the latter immediately fell silent.
"What do you know?" The chairman said irritably, "Do you know the position of the Sinclair Family in Aethelburg? Do you know who that Sharon Sinclair’s grandmother is? She carries the Wang surname!"
