The surname Wang in Aethelburg means something that almost everyone with a touch of upper society is well aware of.
However, the young teacher had just arrived in Aethelburg and knew very little about these things, so she looked puzzled.
The chairman didn’t bother to explain to her and simply took out her phone while walking back.
She dialed a number, and once it connected, the chairman’s expression instantly changed from irritable and stern to enthusiastic and obsequious.
"Secretary Lynch? Ah yes, it’s me. I’d like to ask if Madam has any free time lately? I’d like to arrange a meeting with her."
Evelyn Clayton returned home, and Silas Sinclair and Pauline Warren came back with Sharon.
In the morning, the two had taken Sharon to The Ordination Temple to burn incense, mainly to ward off bad luck.
Evelyn didn’t really believe in this, but she respected it, so she didn’t go along.
As soon as she entered the door, Sharon snuggled into Evelyn’s arms, affectionate as ever.
Evelyn smelled the strong scent of incense on her and chuckled, "Sharon, it feels like you’ve been rolling around in a pile of incense ash. The smell is so strong."
"Grandma took me to worship a lot of Buddha statues," Sharon said earnestly, "There was incense burning everywhere inside, so the smell is strong."
Pauline Warren had the same serious expression, "The Ordination Temple is very effective in dispelling disasters and avoiding misfortune. When the time comes, take Yara and Iris to worship too."
Evelyn smiled, "If they want to go, I’ll take them."
Having said that, Evelyn called Pauline aside into the kitchen.
Pauline was a bit puzzled, "What’s up, Evelyn?"
"Sharon’s former homeroom teacher came by today, said the school wants to expel her." Evelyn lowered her voice, "Once I understood the situation, I realized we can’t just ignore it. Otherwise, if it really escalates, it won’t be good for Sharon."
"I contacted the school, and the chairman told me that Principal Shaw has also been suspended and will be dismissed later."
Pauline’s face grew more serious as she listened.
She was also very sensitive to such matters, especially since with the Sinclair Family’s status, any misstep could be catastrophic.
Moreover, since it involves public opinion and a child, this matter is particularly sensitive.
"Did you meet with the chairman?" Pauline frowned and asked, "What’s her attitude?"
Evelyn told Pauline exactly what the chairman had said, and Pauline laughed in anger.
"They really think they have some nerve, causing Sharon to be hospitalized for so long, and now they threaten us?" Pauline sneered, "Evelyn, don’t worry about this. I’ll go and negotiate with them!"
Evelyn quickly stopped her, explaining that she didn’t bring it up for Pauline to take over, but rather hoped Pauline could hold off on finding a new school for Sharon.
"Until this matter is completely settled, it’s best for Sharon to study at home," Evelyn suggested.
Pauline nodded and said solemnly, "You’re right. This way, we won’t be caught off guard by any unexpected issues. However, you should leave this matter to me. I have connections with Genesis Academy’s chairman, and she knows me well enough not to misbehave. They see you as new and think they can easily bully you."
Evelyn was amused and exasperated, "They didn’t really do anything—"
"Didn’t really do anything? They’ve practically thrown the words in your face!" Pauline said with an attitude of exasperation, "They never dare talk to me like that! Rest assured, I’ll handle this quietly and without any fuss, there won’t be any waves at all!" Find the newest release on novᴇlfire.net
