The Day Privilege Backfired のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Then, she raised her voice again and put on a show of scolding me. "Ms. Tyne, you're a teacher, so you need to be mindful of your appearance! How do you expect students to respect you when you dress so poorly? Now, apologize to this student right this instant!"I looked at the fake smile plastered across her face, my irritation rising to the surface. This was the same grade coordinator who always preached about "professional ethics." Yet, she was now bowing lower than a restaurant server.I slowly pulled my arm back, ignoring her stunned gaze as I spoke word by word. "What's the first rule in the teacher's code of conduct? Equality between teachers and students. Mutual respect."I understood Leona's intention to smooth things over between Arlo and me. After all, she was the grade coordinator. Her salary would take a hit if things escalated because of me. However, she also couldn't afford to offend Arlo's father.So, I made my stance clear. "I did nothing wrong today. I will not apo

Arlo clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he nearly doubled over, his face full of mockery. "Can you come up with a more believable lie? That crappy bracelet of yours looks moldy, and you're calling it priceless?!"The two lackeys behind him burst into harsh laughter as well. "That color looks just like a beer bottle. Did you grind it down yourself or something?""With how broke she looks, she probably couldn't even afford the processing fee. I bet she got it by sleeping with some old fucker!"My clenched fist trembled slightly, my nails digging deep into my palm. It was one thing for them to act arrogantly, but now they were actually spreading disgusting rumors about a female teacher in public?My gaze swept across their ugly, sneering faces, and I made a silent vow. I would make sure all three of them failed this semester and learned what regret really meant. As for Arlo's father, who had spoiled him rotten. Well, he'd certainly be paying his dues soon enough."You're universi

Arlo clutched his swollen, reddened cheek, practically seething with rage. "Dad! So what if they're an investor? You still hold the largest share on the school board! Why would you hit me over some outsider? Besides, Elara didn't exactly go easy on me before you got here!"Nigel might have struck him, but it was clearly just for show since so many eyes were on them. Still, Nigel's expression darkened considerably upon hearing his precious son's complaint. When he apologized again, it clearly lacked the sincerity from before."Ms. Tyne, Arlo's usually very well-behaved in private. What happened between the two of you today was just a joke. Young people have all kinds of ways of making friends. There's even a saying, 'no discord, no concord.' Please don't take it to heart."Now that I was watching him scramble to cover for Arlo, the decision that was still up in the air immediately solidified into certainty. I had assumed Arlo used Nigel's status to bully others on campus because Nige

'He's here?'Everyone's eyes snapped toward the doorway, eager to finally see the elusive chairman who had never once shown his face. However, a look of confusion appeared on their faces when they recognized the man walking in as my father."Nigel, whatever it is, you can say it to me directly today. But as for this so-called close relationship between us… Why am I unaware of it?"Nigel scoffed, clearly unimpressed. "Philip, are you getting senile? I'm here to speak to the chairman. What does that have to do with you? You're just an investor."I shook my head in pity when I saw that Nigel had failed to connect the dots, letting out a quiet sigh. My father had always kept a low profile as he was never one to flaunt his wealth. Alas, his cover was blown because of me. I could already imagine the lecture waiting for me at home.Philip walked calmly to the head seat at the front and sat down, his tone measured and unhurried. "Do I have to spell it out for you? I am the chairman. I'm

Nigel forced out a smile that looked worse than crying, his voice trembling as he spoke. "Ms. Tyne, I've already done as you asked… Can't you just let me off?"I pointed at the expulsion agreement in front of him, completely unmoved. "Director Latham, you'd better sign this now. You know full well that dragging this out will only make things worse. Also, don't bother trying to use your shares to threaten me. "You should know exactly what the Tyne Family is capable of."Nigel, now certain that there was truly no way to salvage the situation, eventually signed the agreement with a defeated expression on his face.My father couldn't help giving me a thumbs-up after watching me handle everything so decisively. "That's my girl. You settled everything before I even had to step in."I smiled and looped my arm through his, leaning against him as I said, "That's only because you were here backing me up. I have no idea how I was going to handle this if you weren't here."Just as Nigel was
