Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Ms. Watson got indignant but remained steadfast that the problem wasn’t as big as it made itself out to be.

She was, after all, the best foreign language teacher in the school!

Animaux Private Academy relied on her to beat their rival, the North City Public School.

Mr. Lane, the headmaster, was going to keep her around even if he agreed with Anthony. It was all just a show after all.

Mr. Lane, who had tried to blend into the background, finally had no choice but to step up. “Ms. Watson was also in the wrong for having punished a student without a proper reason. She’ll be disciplined for it.”

Ms. Watson could barely believe her ears. “I’m just doing my duty as a teacher! I dole out punishments because I have a responsibility to see them better.!”

“Your students are punished without reason and treated differently based on your segregation of their grades,” Anthony started coldly.

“Posting students’ grades on the blackboard to blatantly discriminate and discourage students.”

“Is that what you mean by taking responsibility?”

“What students grow to be outstanding without a bit of a teacher’s scolding? This is all for their sake! Frankly speaking, aren’t you doing this to me because of Lilly? You’re all terrible people!” Ms. Watson had grown greatly agitated.

“Oh, really?” Anthony smirked.

He already had Charlie look into the foreign language teacher.

Charlie began to read the details of the investigation out loud, “Ms. Watson tried to bribe the head of department with gifts two years ago and received disciplinary action.”

“Since September of last year, Ms. Watson has taken advantage of her position to refer students to off-campus tutoring classes, from which she receives referral fees from.”

Anthony kept his steely gaze on the teacher.

“It’s fine even if Mr. Lane doesn’t take action against a teacher like you. I’ll just have to take it up elsewhere.”

“I’ll also be reconsidering my investment in the school.”

Why would he be so generous as to donate to the school? It was charity, yes, but realistically, he wanted the Crawford children to receive the best at school.

The headmaster fell silent. “…”

What was he supposed to do? He was at a loss for words as he watched Anthony walk away.

Ms. Watson was indignant. “These people are going too far, Mr. Lane!”

The headmaster immediately silenced her. “Shut up! Pack up your things and leave!”

That stunned her. Was this for real?
