Nick took a deep breath to make himself look gentler.
“Mr. James, it was all a misunderstanding. I was misled. Ms. Shery said that Kara didn’t have self-respect and didn’t love herself. I couldn’t persuade her, so I decided to have a word with Kara.”
Shery was standing at the side. She was also frightened by the strong aura of James, who walked into the office. When she heard Nick mention herself, she stared at him in disbelief.
“Nick, you told me that there was a bad girl student who had a messy life and bully people in the classroom. And you asked me to come over for Rita.”
Shery thought Nick liked her, so she went to Ross with him, and then went to Larry’s office.
That was why she took the risk.
She did not expect Nick to be a terrible man. He just blamed everything on her.
‘What a Scum!’ she thought.
“Ms. Shery, I didn’t say so. Do you have any evidence? It was you who acted rashly without investigating the truth. You were fooled by Rita’s words and went to accuse Kara.”
“You,”
Shery trembled in anger. She pointed at him and for a long time, she couldn’t say a word.
She was speechless. She turned to Kara and shook her head.
“I, I didn’t. He slandered me!”
“Ms. Shery, stop blaming others. Mr. James respects teachers. Since you are Kara’s teacher, as long as you confess, Mr. James won’t make things difficult for you.”
Nick patiently persuaded, staring at her with a worried expression.
“…”
Kara and Jamya, who had witnessed everything that had happened, deeply despised Nick.
He was too shameless. He didn’t act like a teacher.
Instead, he was a scum!
James got impatient. No matter who took the initiative, they both participated. Therefore, they both should be punished.
“Mr. Ross, how do you think?”
Ross looked at Nick and Shery awkwardly. They were both experienced teachers. He could not dismiss them so easily.
“Both teachers have made mistakes, so we will deduct their year-end bonus and a month’s salary to compensate Kara. Mr. James, what do you think?”
James’s handsome face was bright. He let out a smile. His expression was charming yet there was a trace of coldness hidden in his eyes.
“Mr. Ross, do you think I lack money?”
“…”
‘James naturally did not lack money. It seemed like he wasn’t content with this proposal.’
Ross looked at James awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
“If my wife doesn’t accept him as a teacher, let him resign.”
Nick shook his head when he heard this.
“Mr. James, you must have misunderstood. Kara is a good student. Why would she say such things? We were just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”
Kara puffed her cheeks and looked at Nick.
“Mr. Nick, when I said that I was joking, you insisted on digging deeper. I am a timid and unimportant person, but I have to say that I don’t want you to be my teacher.”
“…”
Nick glared at Kara with red eyes.
However, Kara didn’t care about the warning in his eyes. She said whatever she wanted.
James reminded her not to be merciful with the enemies. Otherwise, the enemies would fight back.
From Nick’s behavior, one could tell that he was a mean person. She had provoked him, she must not give him the chance to fight back.
“Mr. Ross, what do you think?” James was waiting for Ross to speak.
Ross frowned in embarrassment. He usually liked to handle things moderately. It was very extreme to fire both teachers.
“Mr. James, I think they already know their mistakes. If word got out that they dismissed teachers because of Kara, Kara would have a hard time studying here.
Kara smiled. To this point, people must be judging and cursing her.
Yet she couldn’t shut people’s mouths. She could only deal with the thing happening now.
Mr. Ross, thank you for considering me.
But you have to be clear that they wouldn’t be quitting the job for me. They aren’t qualified to be teachers.
Kara took a deep breath and stood up.
“Did Ms. Shery say that an eighteen-year-old girl having sex with her boyfriend is considered lacking self-respecting and self-love?
That’s stubborn.
Adults should decide what they want to do.
They could keep their virginity in their youth. It’s just personal choices. Adults have the right to decide what to do with their bodies.
As a teacher, you can persuade me, but you don’t have the right to judge me.
To obtain self-respect and self-love, one must, firstly, love and respect themselves.
Judging others from a moral high ground wouldn’t work.
Instead, it contaminated the so-called virtues.”
Kara felt insulted when Shery accused her of lacking self-respect and love because she had sex with a male at the age of eighteen.
And she said that Kara would face the music one day. As a teacher, how could she be so mean?
The way Shery ridiculed Kara was simply too mean.
“Alright!”
Jamya could not help but applaud.
At this time, a young man was about to enter the room. Yet when he heard Kara’s remark, he paused.
Liz sent him a voice note, saying that Kara was in trouble, therefore, he had rushed over.
He was thinking perhaps James was right, only a man with tough solutions could keep Kara intact. And James was the one.
Besides, Kara’s speech made it clear that she chose to stay with James. It was not forced.
The man’s handsome face darkened. He let out a bitter smile and then left.
In the office, James raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had been worrying that Kara would hate him for having taken her virginity at the age of eighteen. But now it seemed like she had her thoughts.
He agreed to her.
Adults had the right to decide what they do with their bodies.
No matter who the other person was, people must be responsible for their choice if they were voluntary.
Shery’s face turned green as if Kara wasn’t making a speech but casting a spell.
“Kara, you are shameless! You went play around with a man and now you found yourself a noble excuse. You are the shame of university students. You are worse than a beast.”
James clenched his fists and stared at Shery maliciously.
“Mr. Ross, I’ll leave them to you.”
James wanted Shery to be miserable, so it didn’t matter what Ross would do with her!
Shery thought James had compromised. So, she raised her chin at Kara provocatively, displaying the aura of a winner.
Kara gritted her teeth and looked at James with a frown.
James patted her head and whispered into her ear.
“Her show is not for minors.”
“…”
