Chapter 364
The door opened, and a woman strode into the administration office while her high heels tapped on the
floor. Stella turned around and saw a woman in black leggings with heavy makeup on her face. She wore
a tiny leather skirt and a coat. She was not short nor tall and had an outstanding figure. The woman
looked curvy and was probably not over forty years old. Stella thought that she was pretty and looked
familiar.
While Stella was inspecting the woman, the woman, too, was examining Stella. Seeing Stella’s young
appearance, her eyes showed disdain. But when she saw Keegan, she froze in her tracks. Her eyes
wandered all over Keegan before coming into the room. Behind her was a lean, middle -aged man with
greasy hair, glasses, and a neat suit.
Stella wondered who the man was when Ms. Ada said, “Mr. Harrison.” Mr. Harrison did not even spare a
glance at Ms. Ada. Instead, he walked forward courteously and pulled up a chair. He then turned to Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAda and said, “Ms. Ada, why are you standing there? Make a cup of my finest tea for Mrs. Chapman…”
Stella raised her eyebrows. ‘Mrs. Chapman? Is everyone with the surname Chapman so difficult to get
along with?’
Olivia waved her hand impatiently and said, “I’m not here to drink tea, Mr. Harrison. I’m here to listen to
your explanation. You promised to give me a day ago, and I’ve been waiting. So? Where is it? I thought
you’d settled this matter since you called me over, but what’s this? Are they asking us to make up for that
orphan kid’s fault? What kind of disciplinary system are you running here?!”
Mr. Harrison bowed and said, “My apologies, Mrs. Chapman. Rest assured. I will get to the bottom of this
and explain reasonably.” He turned around and put on a straight face as he said, “Ms. Ada, what’s going
on here? I thought you said you would handle this. It’s been a few days now. So what’s the result? Why
are these people here making a scene?”
Ms. Ada looked embarrassed. “Mr. Harrison, these are Julian’s guardians. They came to school today to
discuss this matter.’
“What’s there to discuss?” Mr. Harrison said in a serious tone. “I have never witnessed such a
vicious incident since the establishment of our school. The classroom is a sacred and inviolable place
where students acquire knowledge. Julian, however, violated the school motto of unity and kindness
when he hit his classmate in front of his teacher. This shall not go unpunished. We do not condone
violence here. What do you think will happen when other students follow in his footsteps? What will
happen to our school’s reputation?”
Mr. Harrison put everything on Julian, but Ms. Ada spoke up for him, “Mr. Harrison, both parties are
responsible for this matter. Julian was not the one who initiated the fight. I could not get ahold of Julian’s
guardian’s before this, but they’re here now. Can we all sit down and talk about how to solve this matter
calmly?”
Mrs. Chapman frowned, “What are you instigating? What do you mean both parties are responsible?”
As she said that, Olivia pulled Raymond over, pointed to the wound on his head, and said, “My son’s
head is injured because of that little bastard. He hit him with a fucking chair, for god sake. My baby had

grades are affected by this injury in the future, huh?”
Ms. Ada was only good at speaking when she was in the classroom. She was still young and careless in
her speech. So, naturally, she was at a loss for words after that.
Mr. Harrison looked at Stella and Keegan and said, “Both of you have witnessed Raymond’s injury’s
seriousness. The impact of this incident is bad. The school board had made deliberation on expelling
Julian, but Ms. Ada begged us for mercy. So, since he is a first-time offender, please pack his things and
leave this school.”
‘What’s the difference between getting expelled and being persuaded to leave?’ Julian’s face was livid as
he clenched his fists on his knees while Keegan casually pushed the cup of tea to him. Julian froze for a
moment. Then, he looked up to meet Keegan’s calm eyes and suddenly cooled down.
He seems to have understood what Keegan was trying to tell him through his eyes, “We’re not there yet.
So why are you getting mad?”
Stella waited for Mr. Harrison to finish speaking before she looked at him and said, “Mr. Harrison, right?
Which shitty university did you graduate from?”
