The phone had originally been in the dean’s hand; Evelyn’s action showed no regard for the dean at all.
The dean’s face turned grim as he said, “Madam Evelyn, what are you doing? How is this not evidence? Naomi deliberately damaged Eliza’s. personal property; it is perfectly reasonable to ask for compensation. How can you call that extortion? Are you even capable of reasoning?”
“What do you mean, unreasonable? Eliza left something as valuable as an electronic wallet in her drawer; wasn’t she practically asking someone to steal it? She wanted to perform a piano piece at the New Year’s Eve party, but she’s never even learned to play the piano. If she embarrassed herself, it would reflect poorly on the Rivers family. Naomi was trying to spare the family from that shame.”
The dean was stunned by Evelyn’s logic. How could someone be this shameless?
“Teacher, Naomi’s parent just hit Henry without any cause. I want to report this to the police. Henry isn’t her child; she had no right to lay a hand on him. And even if it were her own child, a parent hitting them is
still a crime.”
“You child! How can you…”
Before Evelyn could finish, the dean cut her off. “Madam Evelyn, did you lay a hand on another student?”
“I was just trying to discipline them. Isn’t it perfectly normal for adults to discipline children?”
Evelyn sneered. “He lured my daughter away; of course I had to teach him a lesson.”
“What nonsense!”
Henry was furious the moment he heard that.
Evelyn, however, spoke with conviction. “If you had nothing going on with Eliza, why did you buy her an electronic keyboard? And why are you defending her like this? Don’t tell me there is nothing between you two; I will never believe that.”
“You old hag! Shut your filthy mouth!”
Henry’s face darkened as he moved toward Evelyn, but Eliza stopped him just in time.
Outside the door, no one knew how long Nolan had been standing there listening. By the time everyone noticed him, his face had already grown cold and hard.
Evelyn felt extremely uncomfortable under that gaze; this was just a teenager, yet he looked at her with the composure of someone far older.
“Whether I can discipline him or not isn’t up to me; once Henry’s parents arrive, you can take it up with them.”
Eliza pulled Henry to a seat nearby.
It was supposed to be morning class already, but thanks to Evelyn’s arrival, they had already wasted twenty full minutes.
Since Evelyn had assaulted someone, she had no choice but to stay and wait.

Once Nolan entered, he asked, “Did she start this?”

“Of course she did. Came in swinging before anyone could say a word. Must be menopause.”
Henry wiped the bruise at the corner of his mouth; it felt like it might have bled.
Evelyn glanced at her watch. “Are his parents coming or not? I have other things to do; I don’t have time to sit here with you all. And you better hand over that 400 dollars soon, or don’t blame me when I get a lawyer involved.”
She assumed that as an adult, she had every right to teach these kids a lesson.
The dean and the teacher on duty could only stand by the door, helpless, watching this deranged Evelyn. These days, what kind of parents are out there?
Naomi stood with her mother, utterly humiliated.
Whatever reputation she had with the teachers was now completely gone.
Moments later, footsteps echoed through the hallway. At first there were only two people, then many more followed.
A crowd of students gathered at the door of Class 6, peeking in curiously.
No one knew what was going on; why were there so many bodyguards here?
At the door, a man dressed like a secretary knocked politely.
Evelyn frowned, unsure who this was.
