Chapter 366
Seeing Mr. Shovan’s respectful attitude, Mr. Milman froze, realizing he’s talking to the Quantum Enterprises’ Mr. Reed, the guy
donating the library?
He broke into a cold sweat, “Mr. Kelley, is this...?”
Bryce Kelley couldn’t care less about this dimwit.
“No.” Liam said calmly, “My kid was attacked at school, and the school leaders want to expel him without getting to the bottom of
it. So I came with my wife to see what’s going on.”
Mr. Shovan’s face changed, and he asked Mr. Milman, “What’s the story here? What happened that led to expulsion?”
Sean pursed his lips. They’d somehow twisted the story to make themselves the victims.
Mr. Milman stuttered, “This is... just a small conflict between students.”
Celeste raised her eyebrows, “Small conflict? Mr. Milman, that’s not what you said earlier. You said Sean violated school rules,
tarnished the school’s reputation, and was to be expelled. How do you explain that?”
Mr. Shovan frowned. “When did the school board discuss this? I didn’t hear anything about it.”
Expelling students is a serious decision that requires multiple levels of approval. Not just Mr. Milman, but even Mr. Shovan can’t
make this call by himself.
He knew how much some school leaders admired Mr. Milman and tolerated his working style. But he never expected him to
mess up this much, not only kicking out a student on his own but also targeting the Reed family’s kid.
If it weren’t for the teacher bringing him to the office today, how could they even think about cooperating with Quantum
Enterprises after all this drama?
Mr. Shovan said, “Mr. Milman, is this your first day at work? You’ve got some nerve for making up decisions from the school
board!”
Mr. Milman trembled at the scolding, with his previous haughty attitude vanishing in an instant. His face turned pale, his lips
quivered, and he couldn’t utter a word.
Mr. Shovan glared at him, then turned to look at the equally stunned Ms. Lewis, “Are you the homeroom teacher for these two
students?”
Ms. Lewis snapped back to reality and nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Shovan then began to inquire about the cause of the incident. Bryce Kelley felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and
as if a sword was hanging over his head.
Fights between students aren’t really a big deal in schools. Young people are always full of energy and passion, so how could
there be no conflicts?
Having previously served as a department head, Mr. Shovan was very skilled at handling such problems. Thus, after
understanding the situation, he proposed a solution.
Both students would receive warnings and write a 3,000-word essay. As for medical expenses, they could be negotiated
between the parents. Mr. Shovan suggested that both parties pay for the other child’s medical expenses.
Celeste was relatively satisfied with this outcome. They weren’t seeking special privileges, just a fair resolution was enough. It’s
just that the other party’s attitude was so bad initially, which led to the earlier farce.
She turned to Bryce Kelley, “Mr. Kelley, how much are the medical expenses for your son?”
Bryce Kelley was eager to leave and didn’t care much about the medical expenses. He said quietly, “It’s just a minor injury, and it
didn’t cost much. Besides, it was indeed Hunter’s fault. You don’t need to worry about the medical expenses.”
Celeste said calmly. “Then settle the medical expenses for Sean. Medical expenses, meal costs, tuition fees, mental damages....
just pay us 5,000 dollars directly.”
Everyone was left speechless.
What do you call pushing your luck? This is the perfect example.
