The crowd was in an uproar.
The children were extremely shocked and discussed with each other, “Laura’s uncle is the principal.”
“So cool!”
“Wow, I also want the principal as my uncle.”
“I’m so jealous of her.”
Sheryl and little fatty widened their eyes, “Laura, Mr. Yale is your rtive?”
Laura was too shocked to speak, looking at Favian on the tform.

She had blurted out that he was her uncle in a moment of panic, and now she regretted it a bit because Favian didn’t want
her to say so.
‘But… my uncle was actually speaking up for me?‘ Laura thought.
ine felt even more aggrieved, “Mr. Yale, can we not call my parents? I really know I was wrong, and I won’t do it again.”
Favian remained indifferent, “No.”
ine’s breath hitched, her body trembling, as she cried out, “Then are you siding with Laura? Is that why you want to talk to my parents, because you think I bullied her, so you want to unconditionally protect her, right?”
Laura nervously pressed her lips together, looking at Favian.
Favian, who was standing behind the tform, showed little expression, just a deep, misty darkness in his eyes, seeming to be displeased. “So, <i>you </i>think <i>you </i>did nothing wrong?”
ine nodded. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Favian responded, “You deliberately went to ces you hadn’t sat in before, intentionally sweeping away other people’s work with your hand, then stepping on them. Every action you took was intentional, but you kept saying you didn’t mean it. Do you think anyone would believe your clumsy lie?”
ine was stunned and wanted to say something.
Favian gave a nce to the head teacher behind him, “For refusing to repent and showing no remorse, give ine a
demerit.”
ine’s pupils contracted. “Mr. Yale.”
Favian ignored her directly. “ine loses her eligibility for the selection, zero points for the handicraft ss. All students, draw a lesson from this child. Our Skyline Academy doesn’t want children who refuse to admit their mistakes and tell lies. If you don’t want to be expelled, then don’t follow in her footsteps. Got it?”
The children responded in unison, “Got it.”

ine felt even more aggrieved, tears streaming down her face as she unwillingly looked at Laura,
Laura, unwilling to show weakness, looked back at her and made a face, pulling down her eyelid with one hand. “Bleh.”
ine finally couldn’t hold it together anymore, throwing her head back and wailing loudly, “Waaah. You’re all bullying
me.”
Laura snorted, looking at Favian.
Favian’s eyes shed coldly, looking indifferently at her.
She stuck out her tongue and smiled.
Favian was momentarily stunned, the coldness in his eyes melting slightly, shaking his head helplessly. ‘What a
troublesome girl.’
After ss, Laura and ine were taken to the principal’s office.

Not long after, a woman dressed in a Chanel suit walked gracefully into the principal’s office<i>, </i>looking hurried and eager to please. “Hello, Mr. Yale. I’ve heard about what happened. I’m really sorry. I haven’t taught my daughter well.”
Laura stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at this elegant woman.
She didn’t look much like ine. She was young and graceful, with big waves in her hair. Her appearance wasn’t stunning,
but she exuded an air of elegance.
As soon as ine saw her, she couldn’t help but cry. “Mom, I really didn’t mean to mess up her things. It’s Mr. Yale who
ndered me.”
The woman maintained a polite smile on her face, gritting her teeth, “Shut up, ine.”
ine’s crying abruptly stopped.
The woman then turned to look at Laura, and her smile froze for a moment before quickly brightening again, “Oh my, is this the child that my daughter hurt today? She looks like a little angel.”
Laura looked at her frankly, “ine broke the gift I was going to give to my uncle. She hasn’t apologized to me yet.”
ine was speechless.
She thought, ‘Do I have to apologize?‘
The woman was also stunned and her smile became increasingly exaggerated. “Oh my, there aren’t many clever and bright kids like you. I will apologize on her behalf, okay? Forgive her this time, and she won’t dare to do it again.”
Laura frowned.
Why did she feel that the apology wasn’t sincere?
Favian suddenly said, “Laura, wait outside for me.”

Sheryl and little fatty had been waiting for a long time. When they saw her, they immediately approached, “How did it go? Is ine going to be expelled?”
She shook her head, “Not yet. Her mother doesn’t want her to leave. She probably won’t leave.”
Sheryl was disappointed, “But she intentionally damaged someone else’s work. How can someone like that be our
ssmate?”
Fatty also nodded and said, “Yeah, she might bully us again someday.”
Laura looked solemn, but she was not afraid. “Anyway, I can do a backflip, and I have my fairy wand. ine won’t be able to bully me, and Mommy Winnie will protect me.”
She raised her little fist, looking determined. “In any case, justice will prevail.”
Sheryl and little fatty’s eyes lit up, nodding with smiles. “Yes. Justice will prevail.”
Laura chuckled, suddenly remembering something, “By the way, it’s time for ss. Are you considering skipping ss?”
Sheryl and little fatty’s smiles froze, and they looked at each other, screaming as they ran downstairs, “Ah. We’rete.
Ahhhhh.”
Lauraughed heartily, then looked at the door of the principal’s office.
Inside, ine was still crying.
Favian was getting annoyed by her tears and simply pushed some documents toward the woman, “Your daughter just transferred here, and it’s better for her to leave now. Take her home and educate her properly.”
The woman didn’t rush to take the documents, instead sitting down opposite him with a ttering smile. “Senior, I’m Meriel. We were ssmates with Winnie before. You haven’t forgotten me, have you?”
Favian shrugged, unimpressed, “So what?”
Meriel tucked her stray hair behind her ear, smiling sweetly. “Since we are old ssmates, and both graduated from Skyline Academy, why not keep my daughter here as a favor? I can offer money too.”
She said tentatively, “Summer trips abroad, bonfire parties, luxury cruises, I can sponsor all of these.”
There was a moment of silence in the office.
Favian interlocked his bands on the table, unmoved, “Skyline Academy’s projects have nevercked parental sponsorship.”
Meriel remainedposed, “I’ll cover all the trips for the first semester of this year’s first grade. How about that?”
Favian’s eyes narrowed disdainfully behind the silver–framed sses, “No.”
Meriel’s expression stiffened slightly, and she couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. “Just because my daughter hurt

Laura?”
Favian didn’t deny it.

Meriel leaned back against the chair, her expression mocking. “Senior, I’ve heard that the Yale family has gained a new kid. Many people arepeting to pamper and spoil her. My daughter’s actions today have harmed the kid of your family. You want to retaliate on her behalf, don’t you?”
Favian’s expression became even more yful, he raised his leg, and looked at her calmly. “So what?”
The woman’s smile gradually faded.
Favian said expressionlessly, “Meriel, if ine is really here to study, I can give her a chance. But <i>you </i>came to Skyline Academy with a purpose, and your daughter must also be targeting Laura at your instigation. So, before I get angry, leave here. I can pretend that nothing happened and won’t hold you ountable.”
Meriel’s expression gradually turned cold. “As a principal, aren’t you afraid of other consequences when you speak like this?”
Favian smiled slightly and retorted, “As the perpetrator, how dare you say such things shamelessly?”
Meriel became agitated, suddenly standing up from her chair. “But we were rmended for enrollment by Mrs. Carol Yale. This child has be so capable under Mrs. Yale’s guidance. If you dare to make her leave, you’re offending Mrs. Yale.”
Favian’s anger slowly umted in his eyes, his tone was still indifferent. “If you don’t want the other students who
enrolled today to suffer with you, then leave now.”
Meriel was startled. “Aren’t you afraid of offending Mrs. Yale?”
Favian sneered at her. “<i>You </i>can ask Mrs. Yale toe and plead with me herself.”
Meriel angrily retorted, “But she’s your mother…”
“I have no mother.” Favian’s eyes shed with a hint of killing intent. “You should leave now, or I will ask Joshua to help
me.”
Meriel’s face turned pale at the mention of Joshua’s name, she unwillingly picked up the documents and dragged her daughter away.
Laura stood at the door, meeting Meriel’s ashen face,
Meriel stared at her tightly, “Fulfilling your mother’s wish, bing the biggest treasure of the Yale family, with everyone fighting to spoil you, you must be very proud, right?”
Laura frowned and said, “I’m not proud, because I don’t need so many people to like me.”
Meriel sneered and was about to say something when Favian’s voice came from inside, “Laura,e in.”
Meriel frowned and left reluctantly.
09:22 Fri, 29 Aug
Laura pushed open the office door and met Joshua’s imposing gaze.
She closed the door behind her, still holding the pumpkinntern, and looked at him nervously, “Mr. Yale.”
Favian raised an eyebrow at being addressed like this, and the hostility surrounding him dissipated slightly as he asked, “Do you know that paper men are made for the dead?”
Laura asked, “What?”
