Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1571 - Bab 1580

Miguel had worked so hard to climb out of being just another underpaid teacher. Most people would have been thrilled to land a principal job, but Miguel got greedy. He never cared about shaping young minds. As he often said, "It's just a paycheck. Only losers pass up money to preach about education." That mentality might fly in small towns, but in the big city, these kids wouldn't stand a chance based on merit alone. Miguel wasn't exactly looking down on his students—he just knew the situation in each class best. Students with or without local residency permits would face different college admissions standards. Rich families already had their children's overseas education lined up, so there was no sweat required. Even if they had bad grades, it wouldn't be a problem. They could still go abroad and buy themselves a fancy degree. Money talked, and that was the harsh reality. Miguel needed that Department of Education position to set his son up right. It was pretty ironic for a

Everyone turned to stare at Aria, their faces filled with disapproval. Eden caught some of the heat too; she wasn't looking so great in their eyes either. "She's so dumb to throw away such a golden opportunity." "She just doesn't get it. Her family's dirt poor, and everyone knows that." Aria heard the whispers around her. She stood her ground, eyes cool at the edges, but her expression never changed. She even let out a soft laugh. "Nice move, Mr. Sonder. A few words and everyone forgets your wrongdoings. Don't worry, though. I've brought you a special gift." As she spoke, she glanced at her watch. "It should be here any minute. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. You may call me Ms. Carver." Miguel snorted. "I couldn't care less what your name is." In his anger, he'd completely forgotten about the scandal that had been the talk of Ludwiten lately. Aria made a small sound as she hung her helmet on the bike. "I figured since you and Mr. Draycott were so tight, you'd be keep

Winnie's arrival was the final nail in Miguel's coffin. His image as a learned, child-nurturing principal was gone forever. Nothing could be more convincing than testimony from the legitimate wife, so Winnie's appearance really escalated the situation to a whole new level. Parents were snapping photos and recording videos. At first, these would only circulate in social circles, but they quickly spread across the internet. The mistress tried to cover her face while Miguel strained his neck shouting, "Stop filming! Parents, please stop filming! This is a private family matter with misunderstandings!" But it was useless. Spreading gossip was just human nature. At this point, no one would believe this was all a misunderstanding. Winnie hadn't appeared here by accident. The message had not been sent only to the mistress; Winnie received one too. Aria understood the situation, and she knew Winnie was a good teacher who didn't deserve such mistreatment. Winnie also realized someon

Lisa stood frozen in disbelief as the situation turned against her. For years, she had always held the advantage. In her mind, the old, unattractive wife didn't stand a chance—Winnie would be out of Miguel's life soon enough.She had carefully calculated her moves, knowing Winnie's temper was infamous. All she had to do was provoke her. Once Winnie lost control, people would brand her as bitter and unfit to teach, blaming her for her failed marriage.Winnie had long been suffering from psychological distress caused by Miguel's affair. Aria knew this—and it was precisely why she chose to intervene.It was never easy for women. A wife breaking down over her husband's betrayal was often seen as unstable. If she fought back against the mistress, she'd be mocked—labeled hysterical, her efforts seen as pathetic.Sure, the mistress was in the wrong. But public opinion? That rarely sided with the wife. Most people just wanted her to move on. If she didn't, they saw her as the pitiful one w

Amos was visibly agitated—far more than usual—especially after hearing that the young woman he'd carefully selected had been taken away by Aria. He didn't hesitate this time. Without even waiting for more details, he ordered his subordinates to take Aria down.Still, Amos had more pressing matters on his plate. He was on a call, and from the other end, he could tell the person speaking wasn't pleased.A low sigh echoed through the receiver. "If you're not making progress, perhaps it's time to rethink your method. Understand the reality first. Teenagers' education isn't something people at the grassroots level should just poke their noses into.""You're right. I'll take what you said seriously," Amos replied, the deference in his tone hinting that the caller was someone with real power."I've got more meetings lined up, so I won't be back this week. The incident at Oakvale Academy has turned into a real mess. I want to see some results by Monday."Amos understood the implications
