The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 17

The room fell into silence!

It took a long time for Joseph to regain his composure, and hurriedly asked, “Did you guys make a mistake? My son Andrew took the exam, not Thaddeus.”

The two teachers looked at each other, then opened the acceptance letter to check the name, and said seriously. “No mistake, Thaddeus is indeed the one who got admitted.”

After a pause, one of the teachers seemed to recall something and said, “Oh, Andrew, I remember him, he didn’t make it.”

Even though no one physically touched him, Joseph felt as if he had just been slapped across the face in public!

How painful! How embarrassing! Thaddeus was never favored in the Hawthom family, but was admitted to Imperial Blossom Nursery. What the hell?

Beatrice couldn’t hold back anymore, stood up, and asked, “Could you please double check? Thaddeus didn’t even take the exam, so how could he possibly be admitted to your school? Did you get the names mixed up?”

The two teachers, who worked at Imperial Blossom Nursery, must have had top–notch work and judgment skills. They quickly figured out what was going on and said very seriously. “Thaddeus took a special exam that the principal personally arranged for him last night. There’s no mistake with his name or the acceptance letter. Please don’t doubt our work.”

In fact, they didn’t know whether Thaddeus took the exam or not. But that was what the principal said, and the acceptance letter was personally sent by the principal. So they naturally didn’t ask any further questions

“I didn’t mean that.”

Before Beatrice could finish her sentence, the teacher asked, “Is Dorian around? Could you call him, please?”

“Why do you want that guy here? He doesn’t even live here! Joseph’s tone was quite rude

The teacher frowned but didn’t say much. Then he took out his phone and dialed the number on the list.
