“How could you do such a foolish thing?!” Even through the closed door, Freya could hear the anger and regret in the principal’s voice.
“It wasn’t her, and it wouldn’t have happened if my teacher…”
“It was your teacher’s fault in the first place! Because of your teacher, Freya almost lost her life. If it weren’t for her husband, Elijah, rescuing her, your teacher would have faced even harsher punishment!” Wesley Donaldson was furious. “I know you’re grateful, but you need to consider the context. Your teacher made a mistake, and yet you still want to seek revenge for him. Are you out of your mind?”
Wesley Donaldson was seething with anger, while Neo Miller remained stubbornly silent. The latter refused to admit his mistake.
Wesley Donaldson stared at him, thinking that if he were his own child, he would have slapped him long ago.
Suppressing his anger, he said, “It’s already working hours. When Freya comes, sincerely apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness…”
“I won’t.” Neo Miller refused. “No matter what, it was her who caused harm to my teacher…”
Wesley Donaldson’s temple twitched.
He almost slapped him!
But he managed to control himself!
“Haven’t I made myself clear?” Wesley Donaldson raised his voice a little. “I heard you loud and clear. I know my teacher was at fault, but because of her, my teacher’s career was ruined, and…”
“Shut up.” Wesley Donaldson couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore. “Fine, be stubborn. I guess you won’t change your mind until you’re in the grave!”
“What can she do to me? Even if she wants to do something, she needs evidence.”
Wesley Donaldson looked at him as if he was a fool. “She can accurately tell me that you were the one who did it. Tell me, does she have any evidence?”
Neo Miller was suddenly speechless. He remained silent for a while.
“I have no regrets. Whatever punishment she wants to give me, I’ll accept it. After all, she has a strong backing. She’s only in her twenties, about to take over your position as the principal. I can imagine that she must be using her husband’s influence. A woman who relies on a man to climb the ladder, who would respect her? There are plenty of people in the school who are more qualified and capable than her. How did it come to this, that a young woman like her, who relies on a man, can rise to such a position?”
Wesley Donaldson suddenly became calm. He understood Neo Miller, who wasn’t a bad person. In the school, he didn’t really have any friends. He wasn’t good at socializing. Everyone kept their distance from him. Suddenly, he became extreme.
“Tell me honestly, where did you hear all these things? Who made you do this?” Wesley Donaldson asked.
Neo Miller couldn’t lie. “My teacher’s wife told me while crying, and she said that it was all because of her…”
Now the Wesley Donaldson understood everything.
This fool had been manipulated!
He needed to inform Freya about the situation. Neo Miller had been used as a pawn.
“You wait here for now…” Wesley Donaldson thought for a moment. “Never mind, it’s getting late, Freya should be here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
He walked over and opened it.
Seeing Freya, he asked, “Why are you here so late?”
Freya had been listening outside for a while.
She just didn’t Come In
She glanced at Neo Miller standing by the side.
Neo Miller looked up.
He showed no remorse.
“He didn’t do it on purpose,” Wesley Donaldson spoke up for Neo Miller. “He’s not a bad person.”
Freya pursed her lips, remaining silent for a while before saying, “Mr Donaldson, I’d like to have a word with you in private.”
Wesley Donaldson nodded. “Alright.”
He asked Neo Miller to leave first.
“Actually, about this matter…”
Freya didn’t want to listen to him to explain on Neo Miller’s behalf. She asked the question that was on her mind, “I want to know, who is Neo Miller’s teacher?”
