She scrolled through her phone for a few moments, then handed it to me. The content made my breath catch in my throat. It was about another student I was sponsoring, dressed as a waitress, surrounded by several men, her face filled with terror. This child, though clumsy, was very hardworking and like Michele, she was one of my key students.
"Finding a few desperados took a lot of effort, you know. If you don't appease me today, she'll be in big trouble."
"Michele!"
I clenched my fists and couldn't help but shout, "Don't drag innocent people into our business!"
She looked indifferent, picking her ear, "This is a scheme. Besides, wasn't it you who taught me to climb the ladder by any means necessary?"
"Do you dare say you have no connection with the principal? Now, kneel down and apologize to me. You just scared me."
My lip bled from being bitten, the taste of metal filling my mouth. But thinking of the child's terrified expression, I felt a thousand pounds weighing on my shoulders, bending my legs like steel bars.
The moment my knees touched the ground, the humiliation made my teeth chatter, "I'm sorry..."
Michele laughed heartily, "I never said I'd let her go just because you did that. Besides, I was helping you train her. I was doing it for her own good."
I looked up sharply, but I couldn't see her face clearly. I stood up, staggered and rushed out the door, bumping into Caleb who was returning. He instinctively reached out to help me, but I dodged him.
He immediately gritted his teeth, "You're something else!"
I strode forward, ignoring his pleas.
As soon as I left the hospital, I had a lawyer notarize the documents, ensuring no one could shake my assets. I also contacted the principal to apply for that student to accompany me abroad.
Didn't they want to wait for me to divorce so they could smoothly take over? I wasn’t not going to divorce him. The longer I was gone, the longer they would suffer public criticism.
The next day, before my flight to Germany took off, I sent the recording from the hospital room to several zombie public accounts and the principal. The web of revenge was about to unfold; they better not disappoint me.
