Chapter 8
She smiled apologetically, “Sir Fuller, you must be here for the Fuller family’s matter, I know it! I know! I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! I will have her parents come and take her home soon! We cannot afford to have thieves in our school!”
The school principal, Austin Marshall, furrowed his brow and said, “What stole something?”
Rebecca gave me a strong push. “It was her, blind and foolish, she stole Mr. Fuller’s belongings!”
“What was Mr. Fuller’s identity, she dared to…”
She hadn’t finished speaking when she realized something was wrong.
Because in the moment she pushed me, my dad came over and caught me, and now he was holding me in his arms, glaring at her. “Um… Sir Fuller…
she…”
“What did you just say? My daughter was a thief?”
“Boom!” Rebecca’s mind exploded, and she looked at my dad in confusion. “Just now, Rebecca said she wanted her parents to take her home, and I was
here. So, tell me! Who did my daughter steal from?”
“This…this…” Her pleading eyes turned to the principal, who angrily scolded her, “This is Bella, the only daughter of Sir Fuller! Didn’t I tell you before? I specifically assigned Sir Fuller’s child to your class, so you could take good care of her!”
“Was it her? I thought it was…”
“What did you think? You were taking care of her like this! You even accused her of being a thief and wanted to fire her!”
“No, no, no, I didn’t, I didn’t!” Rebecca shook her head like a tambourine. “It’s all a misunderstanding!”
My dad angrily looked at Austin. “Several high schools were competing for my daughter back then. I allowed her to come to your school because you promised to treat her well. Is this how you take care of my daughter?”
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. My dad slammed the teacup down heavily and said, “You can find someone else to build the library at Skylight High School, I won’t spend a penny on it. We’re transferring schools! I won’t put up with this anymore!”
When I was in high school, several schools in the city extended an olive branch to me. Now I realize that it wasn’t because of my excellent grades, but because they saw the gold mine in my dad.
Rebecca pushed softly and slumped to the ground, saying, “It’s over… It’s over!”
Austin quickly came up and grabbed my dad. “Don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, let’s talk things out!”
“Bella has been at this school for a year. Can the child accept it if you make her transfer elsewhere again? Don’t be impulsive, also ask the child’s
opinion!”
He quickly asked me, “Is Bella still adapting well at school?”
I nodded.
I couldn’t leave, Reed and Keira were still having a great time at school. Even if I wanted to leave, I would have to ruin their fun before I could go!
My dad breathed a sigh of relief and asked me anxiously, “What grievances do you have? Just tell me, Dad will stand up for you! Have they been bullying you all this time?”
I shook my head. “Occasionally, a few teachers and classmates would mock me, but there were still a few classmates who were very kind to me.”
I didn’t lie. In my previous life, when I pursued Reed, my desk mate and several female classmates advised me. But I was stubborn and argued with them multiple times. Later, when we entered the third year of high school and the pressure increased, they gradually stopped caring about me.
“Bella, do you want to change homeroom teacher?”
