Allegra immediately panicked when she heard the teacher’s words. She got in Isaac’s face and said angrily, “Can you not run your mouth here? Why must you always complicate matters?”Then, she turned to the head teacher to ask for forgiveness. “Mr. Carson, I’m so sorry. This is our fault. I’ll punish her and reflect deeply, so please don’t expel Isabella.”What Isaac didn’t know was that Allegra’s apologetic behavior right now was commonly seen in many parents.When the head teacher saw the pleading Allegra, he snorted and said to Isaac, “Hmph. Let’s wait for Tyler’s father to come. We’ll settle this issue then.”“Who was it who had the guts to hit my son?” An angry voice sounded from outside, and a burly man sporting a buzzcut strode in.“Dad, that’s the bastard child who hit me. She even asked someone to come over and scold me.” Tyler immediately hopped off the chair and ran into his father’s arms.Colin Green wore a light blue shirt and a gold wristwatch. He pointed at Allegra
“You’re just a reformed prisoner. Do you really think you’re all high and mighty? Get out, get the hell out!” Allegra was getting increasingly agitated because she was terrified that her daughter would lose access to education.“Ally, please trust me. Just go outside with Bella for a moment and leave things here to me. If Bella gets expelled, I’ll do anything you ask of me!” Isaac said emphatically, looking at Allegra.Allegra paused. Then, she quieted down and stared at Isaac coldly. She also knew that Isaac wouldn’t leave right now.“Okay, you promised. If Bella can no longer get an education, you must disappear from our lives!”“Okay, I promise.”Allegra immediately took Isabella out of the room. She also wanted to ask Isabella who had actually started the fight first.There were only four people left in the room. Isaac lit a cigarette, looking at the swollen faces of Jeremy and Colin. He said icily, “My request is very simple. I want your son out of this school and for you tw
Isaac walked up to a puzzled and shocked Allegra. He smiled and said, “Everything is okay now. Let’s go.”Just as they headed outside, Colin’s phone rang. He brought his phone to his ear and immediately heard the head teacher, Jeremy’s voice. “Mr. Green, we may be able to get another sum of money from that fool. Are you interested?”In Jeremy’s eyes, Isaac was nothing but a rich dolt. He had just gotten 500 thousand dollars, and now he had found another “business opportunity.”As soon as their car left, Allegra’s phone rang. When she saw that it was Jeremy’s number, her chest tightened. “O—Okay, Mr. Carson. We’ll be right back.”She put down the phone and said to Isaac, who was driving, “Turn around now. Mr. Carson said we can’t leave yet.”“Can’t leave yet?” Isaac thought, furrowing his brows.When they arrived at the office again, Jeremy was sitting down with his leg propped up. When he saw them enter, he immediately slammed his hand onto the desk and shouted angrily, “The pr
At that moment, Beefy Bob turned and charged toward Jeremy. Jeremy was startled. His legs crumpled, and he fell onto his knees on the floor. “I—It wasn’t me. It was the principal who wanted to expel Isabella. Sir, I was wrong. I just wanted to get some money from you, sir.” He bowed to Isaac as he sobbed. He saw the way Colin was rolling around on the floor in agony. His broken leg had scared the living daylights out of Jeremy. “Call your principal here now!” Isaac roared in a rage. Beefy Bob immediately stopped. Jeremy scampered out of the room. “Isaac, didn’t you promise to disappear from our lives if Isabella couldn’t study here anymore? Well, get lost!” When Allegra saw how scared Jeremy was, she was almost certain there was no hope for Isabella’s education anymore. Seeing how fervently Allegra was tugging his arm, Isaac frowned and said, “You really don’t want to see me anymore?” “Yes. Fuck off. You’re just a violent thug. I never want to see you again!” Allegra sh
Allegra returned to Riverview dejectedly. When she opened the door and entered, she paused as Isaac was nowhere to be seen. Then, she remembered that he had been the one who had helped her reclaim this house from her family and immediately felt upset.“Mom, let’s go look for Mister, okay?”“No. Go to your room and do your homework.”“Hmph.” Isabella shook her fists before going to her room silently.Sitting on the sofa, Allegra wiped away her tears. Then, she took out her phone and dialed her cousin, Serena Booth’s number.She wanted to tell her about Isabella’s expulsion. Serena was a teacher; she had helped Isabella get into Floralis Elementary School back then. Allegra wanted to ask her if there was any way…As soon as she hung up the phone, the sound of brakes screeching was heard outside. Andrew and Edward burst into the room.Andrew immediately mocked Allegra as he entered, “Oh, you’re home? Isn’t this villa comfortable? I hope you haven’t gotten any boils on your body!”
“Andrew, are you bullying Allegra again?” Serena immediately frowned and asked.She was young, but she had a fiery personality.“I’m bullying her? She’s the one who dug her own grave,” Andrew rebutted fiercely. Two figures entered from outside. The burly Beefy Bob shouted coldly, “I think you’re the ones digging your own grave!”They turned their heads. Seeing Isaac walk inside with his hands behind his back and seeing Beefy Bob’s face, Andrew and Edward unconsciously took a step backward.The truth had come out. It was the head of the Murray family who had contacted the director in charge of private schools from the Cloud City Department of Education. That was why Isabella had been inexplicably expelled.Getting into a fight with her classmate was just a coincidence, and they had used the incident as one of their reasons.But to Isaac’s surprise, it was the Gould family who had instigated this from behind the scenes.Isabella was Alec’s granddaughter—he sure was merciless!“
The two uniformed men didn’t answer Serena’s inquisition. They simply stated that Isabella would formally start school next Monday before leaving in a hurry.Allegra had never seen an elementary school give out acceptance letters, much less deliver them to her doorstep by soldiers wearing camo.Seeing how Serena was looking at that letter so intensely that her body was shaking, Allegra asked, “Rena, is this Carmine Elementary School better than Floralis?”“It’s not just better than Floralis—they are a world apart. Carmine Elementary and Middle School are both under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense and are top schools. Not only do you need perfect grades to get in, but there is also a qualification check. Fuck, if we were still in the 19th century, it would have been a school for royals.”She got more and more excited as she spoke. At the side, both Andrew and Edward were shocked.“If Isabella can get into Carmine Elementary School, she should be able to make it to Car
“Sir, do not worry. By the way, Edward of the Gould family is here. He said he wants to speak to you. Will you see him?” said the middle-aged assistant.Randall got to his feet and said, “Tell him to wait for me in the hall.”Ten minutes later, Randall stepped into the hall. When he saw the two gift baskets in Edward’s hands, he said with a laugh, “Edward, you didn’t have to bring gifts. Oh, I hope Professor Gould is recovering well.” Edward laughed along before frowning bitterly and saying, “Randy, that’s why I’m here today. Although Isabella has been expelled, those assholes, Allegra and Isaac, are still stubborn and refuse to apologize to my father. I even pulled you into this, Randy, but who would have thought…”“Thought what?” Randall stared at Edward with furrowed eyebrows.Edward gritted his teeth and said, “Who would have thought that goddamn Isaac would say you’re nothing but dogshit to him and tell us to fuck off. He even warned my father not to pull something similar again,
