Hearing Sumr Monroe’s na, Principal Payne’s face instantly stiffened.
"How is it her again?"
Mio Osborne nodded expressionlessly: "It’s her. I told you a long ti ago, you shouldn’t have allowed people to pull strings to get into this school, into my class."
Principal Payne frowned, clearly not believing Mio Osborne’s words.
He shook his head and said: "Professor Osborne, last ti it was you who made a mistake about Rachel Ross, causing our school to lose an entire lab building. I haven’t even calculated the losses with you yet, so why are you finding trouble with her again? Also, you were supposed to apologize on stage at the freshman welco party, but since Mr. Locke Berg ca, I canceled that segnt. Just because you didn’t apologize on stage that day doesn’t an you don’t need to apologize to her again. This matter isn’t over, Professor Osborne, why are you targeting her again? Isn’t your opinion of her a bit too much?"
With each sentence Principal Payne spoke, Mio Osborne’s face grew darker.
The Rachel Ross incident, he was originally certain it was Sumr Monroe’s doing, but it ended up being a plot staged by Rachel Ross herself, directly diminishing his reputation in the eyes of the students.
He clenched his jaw and said: "I was kept in the dark about the Rachel Ross incident; I was also a victim, you can’t bla that on . Moreover, this ti I’m very sure that Sumr Monroe is making up an excuse. Just because she wasn’t wrong last ti doesn’t an she’s right this ti."
"But..." Principal Payne hesitated.
He didn’t want to suspect Sumr Monroe again and have another embarrassing situation like last ti.
But with Mio Osborne’s insistence, Principal Payne could only say: "Alright, I’ll go with you. But before we go, we have to take a bouquet of flowers. In case there really is a funeral in her family, we would be making fools of ourselves."
"It’s impossible!" Mio Osborne said firmly, "Sumr Monroe said a family mber passed away, but I couldn’t see any sadness on her face. She must be lying! We don’t need to bring flowers at all. Bringing flowers would be making a fool of ourselves."
Principal Payne trusted Sumr Monroe, a trust that ca from intuition, not from whether she had any influential support behind her.
He helplessly looked at Mio Osborne and said: "Fine, if you don’t bring flowers, I will. If it’s a joke, it’s on , the old man, is that alright?"
The vein on Mio Osborne’s forehead throbbed, not understanding why the principal was defending a liar.
He exhaled a breath of frustration and said: "If you want to bring them, then bring them."
"Alright. Let’s go!" The principal put on sunglasses and wrapped himself up tightly before going out.
Though worried others might bla him for the Locke Berg incident, he didn’t bla Sumr Monroe in his heart.
It’s a good thing students want to perform on stage, and they should be encouraged.
But if Sumr Monroe truly lied, he would handle it according to school rules.
"My car is parked at the school gate. I’ll drive, you go to the flower shop across the school and buy a bouquet of white chrysanthemums."
The two of them parted at the school gate.
Soon, Mio Osborne returned with a bouquet, and they drove to Stanton Manor.
On the road, Principal Payne reminded: "Professor Osborne, let tell you in advance. If Sumr Monroe is not wrong this ti, and didn’t lie, then at tomorrow’s flag-raising ceremony, you will have to apologize to Sumr Monroe for both incidents. Also, I’ll deduct three months of your salary, and you’ll have to move out of the teacher dormitory and rent a place outside to live as a lesson."
Mio Osborne agreed without a second thought.
"Fine!"
He was confident that no one was setting him up this ti, he wouldn’t make a mistake.
This ti, Sumr Monroe will definitely be out of his class!
