Chapter 550


    One student could not help but ask, "Are you really Professor Hancock?"


    Seeing the expectant look in the students’ eyes, Den smiled and nodded to them, looking friendly.


    They were all surprised by how approachable Den was.He looked like a very ordinary old man.


    No wonder that Mr.Kennedy and Ms.Thompson spewed vitriol at him.


    Ms.Thompson''s and Mr.Kennedy''s faces changed, as they did not expect that this old man who


    seemingly came out of nowhere turned out to be the famous Professor Hancock.


    Ms.Thompson asked cautiously, "B-But what are you doing here in our school, Professor Hancock?"


    Mr.Ellison turned to nce at Nicole and then said coldly to the two of them, "To meet Nicole, who has


    gotten a full score on the Math Olympiad questions that Professor Hancock hase up with."


    ''That exins it now!’ Mr.Ellison looked at the two, who had suddenly be silent, with an icy look


    on his face.


    "What did you just say? I''ve obstructed you from dealing with Nicole, haven''t I?"


    Ms.Thompson and Mr.Kennedy choked.They looked at the seemingly angry Mr.Ellison and put on a


    smile.


    "We just think that, judging by Nicole''s past performance, she couldn''t have gotten a full score in


    Professor Hancock''s papers, not to mention Austin and a few others who have entered the top


    five.Don''t forget that their results used to be outrageously poor.Isn''t it strange that they can do so well


    in the exam after just half a month?"


    Seeing that they were so stubbornly ndering Nicole, a frosty light shed across Mr.Ellison''s eyes.


    "You have failed to perform as a good teacher, yet couldn''t ept it when Austin and others have


    improved, thinking that they have cheated, unaware how much effort they had put in.People like you


    don''t deserve to be a teacher."


    Den nodded in agreement.He did not want to get involved in the internal affair of the Royal Creek


    Institute.


    The way Ms.Thompson and Mr.Kennedy spoke to Den when he came in was enough for Mr.Ellison


    to see their true faces.

    Ms.Thompson and Mr.Kennedy were so frightened that they were almost tearful.


    They knew what Mr.Ellison meant—he was going to fire them.


    In desperation, Ms.Thompson turned to Ms.Emerson for help.


    "Please put in a good word for me.You know how much I take care of students; I have just made a


    minor mistake and don''t deserve to be fired."


    Ms.Emerson looked at the two of them and thought of how many times they had exploited and bullied


    her.


    "You have no authority to make the school rules or to have people at your mercy.Have you forgotten


    the time when you stole the excellent teacher award from me? What exactly did my students and I do


    wrong that you wanted to target us this way? Nicole, she has just gotten good grades and made the


    school proud, and you two keep smearing her.What about the other people who are in your way? Now


    it''s toote to say you''ve just made a minor mistake."


    Mr.Kennedy looked at Ms.Emerson''s face, so angry that he could not talk coherently.


    "Nonsense! When did I steal your excellent teacher award? This year''s excellent teacher award hasn''t


    yet been announced."


    Ms.Emerson retorted, saying, "Really? Ms.Thompson has gotten the documents ready on the desk and


    is ready for submission.You must be thrilled with the result that you bribed her to get."


    Ms.Thompson''s and Mr.Kennedy''s faces turned pale instantly.


    They almost did not dare to turn their heads to look at Mr.Ellison''s expression behind them.Mr.Kennedy


    yelled at Ms.Emerson.


    "Don''t frame me for this! What you''ve said is all nonsense! Do you have proof to show that I''ve bribed


    Ms.Thompson?"


    Ms.Emerson sneered.


    "Shortly after the start of school, you entered her room with a handful of women''s luxury goods.She is


    now wearing the high heels that you have given her."


    Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.


    Mr.Kennedy and Ms.Thompson hardly dared to say anything to refute the usation.


    Ms.Thompson''s monthly sry as a head of teaching staff was not particrly high, at least not to the


    point of affording luxury goods.


    But what she wore every day now had indeed exceeded her ie level.It was only possible if she


    received bribes from her subordinates.
