As he was mulling over these priorities, he turned to leave, but Bryson's voice stopped him cold.
"Don't even think about deleting those forum posts.
" The chill in his tone made the principal's hands tremble.

The woman's face flushed crimson, and she pointed at Bryson, too m flustered to speak. "My husband is the CEO of Kinkarvis Company.
If you offend us, you will regret it!"
"Really?" Bryson raised an eyebrow and replied, "I've never heard of M e Kinkarvis Company.
