Chapter 5 Engagement Canceled

As Hedy looked at Ms. Lee standing in her way, her eyes narrowed, and she said, "Go away."

Ms. Lee was taken aback and immediately exclaimed in anger, "How dare you speak to a teacher like that!"

She couldn't afford to provoke trustee Jones, and now Hedy was acting this way?

Did she think that having the Johnson Family backing her meant she wasn't just a country bumpkin anymore?

"I don't think someone who immediately demands an apology from a student deserves to be called a teacher," Hedy said coldly.

"You..." Ms. Lee was at a loss for words.

Oliver, standing beside her, had a stern expression and said angrily, "That's enough, Hedy."

Hedy turned to look at Oliver, and her eyes were filled with coldness. "With what identity are you commanding me?"

She had thought that Oliver, who was renowned throughout the school, would stand up for her against Lisa. But when Lisa brought up business matters, he became as submissive as a dog, as if he wanted to offer her head to Lisa as an apology.

In the end, he was just a well-groomed appearance with a weak and inept interior.

"As your fiancé!" Oliver couldn't help but rise his voice, and his eyes

showed disgust.

If it weren't for his grandfather's words, stating that the decision regarding his marriage with Hedy could only be made by Hedy, he would have ended this ridiculous arranged marriage long ago. "Not anymore!" Hedy's voice grew louder, and her presence became more dominant and powerful.

"From now on, the engagement between the Ellis Family and the Johnson Family is canceled, and you, go away!"

As her words fell, a terrifying silence enveloped the surroundings.

What happened to Hedy?

Beating up Lisa and her son and having a disrespectful attitude toward her teacher was one thing, but why did she cancel the engagement? 'Didn't she like Oliver

very much?

Moreover, even a ten-year-old would understand that the Johnson Family was Hedy's capital to establish herself at Lowell High School. Without the Johnson Family, how would she be able to compete against Lisa and her son?

Oliver's expression turned unpleasant.

In his mind, even if this marriage was canceled, Hedy should have exited with a lower-class attitude of "blessing and resignation." Instead, she looked at him with a face full of disgust and contempt, as if he wasn't worthy of her!

"I was thinking about helping you out considering the past friendship between our families, but now that you choose to cancel the

engagement, well then, go handle it on your own. I'm not begging you to ask me for help!"

Oliver declared, stepping back and looking aloof.

He wanted to see how capable Hedy could be without the assistance of the Johnson Family.

"Hedy, you're not going to tell me that you think you can handle everything by yourself, are you?" Lisa didn't understand what Hedy was planning.

She had thought Hedy would tightly grasp onto the Johnson Family and use them to protect herself. But now, not only did Hedy not hold onto the Johnson Family, she even kicked them away!

"Dealing with a small potato like you, I don't need a team to do it. One person is enough," Hedy said casually, glancing at her out of the corner of her eye.

The implications in her words sent shivers down everyone's spine.

Lisa was one of the top socialites in San Francisco!

She was one of those people who would be least considered the small potatoes in Lowell High School and San Francisco.

Hedy must have lost her mind!

"I'm a small potato? Heh!" Lisa turned her head and casually said to the vice principal, "I believe the funds for the next semester haven't been secured yet, right?"

The vice principal understood her intentions and grabbed the microphone, speaking with a righteous tone, "Hedy has disregarded school regulations, committed acts of violence, and verbally abused a trustee and fellow students. She will be expelled as a disciplinary

action. I hope all students take this as a lesson!"

Whoa.

These words caused quite a stir in the audience.

She's being expelled just like that?

Lisa and Jack weren't seriously injured. According to the school rules, Hedy should have received a severe punishment, but not immediate expulsion.

While everyone was puzzled, Hedy calmly spoke up, "Vice Principal, maybe you should change the words on the sculpture at the entrance of Lowell High School."

"What do you mean?" The vice-principal looked slightly annoyed.

The words on the sculpture were: Strive for education for life.

It was the oath made when Lowell High School was established, representing the school's dignity.

Changing those words would be like slapping themselves in the face.

"Since the moment I started fighting, some of you asked who sent me, some told me to stop, and some simply expelled me. But no one asked me why I wanted to hit Lisa and Jack.

Isn't it ridiculous for something like this to happen in a place that is supposed to educate students?"

Hedy's eyes burned like fire as she stared directly at the vice principal.

The principal's expression stiffened.

Indeed, after this incident, no one asked Hedy why she had hit Lisa

and Jack.

To save face, the vice principal retorted, "You think it's justified to hit someone? Then tell me, why did you hit Lisa and Jack?"

Lisa and Jack exchanged a glance beside them, realizing that things were not looking good.

"Today was seat-changing day, and I hit Jack because he called me over to be his desk mate, but when I went there, he insulted me, calling me a stupid pig who doesn't deserve to sit like a human being.

I hit Lisa because she first reached out and slapped me, accusing me of hitting her son without any reason.

From the very beginning, it was them provoking and picking fights, and I got expelled just because I resisted them.

Regular students can't insult others,

But it's fine for trustee Jones' son to do so.

Regular students can't hit others.

But it's fine for trustee Jones to do so.

If that's the case, what's the point of 'striving for education for life'?

It should be changed to 'serve the rich for life,' wouldn't that be more fitting?"

Hedy's icy voice, like a sniper bullet, struck straight into everyone's hearts!

For a while, no one dared to refute her.

They knew who Hedy was. She came from a humble background with

no money, but she followed the rules and never made mistakes.

They also knew who Jack and Lisa were. They came from a wealthy family with significant influence, especially Jack, who often used his mother's position as a trustee to bully others at school. Today, it was clear, just as Hedy said, that Jack and Lisa wanted to bully Hedy but ended up being unexpectedly beaten up by Hedy.

If the school expelled Hedy, wouldn't it be serving the "rich"?

Was there any point in staying at a school like that?

Not everyone was as wealthy as Lisa and her son.

The vice principal's face suddenly changed.

"You... you're lying!" Jack, sensing the tension, immediately stepped forward to defend himself. "You said I insulted you, where's the evidence? Who saw it? Who can testify?"

He walked to the front of the stage, looking at the students of Class 12-2. "Can any of you testify?"

Lisa's eyes lit up, and she also walked to the front, asking. "Hedy said that I hit her and insulted her. Did any of you see it?"

The students of Class 12-2 glanced at each other.

On one side, there was the long-established wealthy family in San Francisco and a trustee. On the other side, there was a country girl who no longer had any connection to the Johnson Family. Who should they support? Did they even need to think about it?

They eagerly spoke up:

"We didn't see Lisa and Jack hitting or insulting Hedy."

"Hedy was lying."

"Poor areas always breed troublemakers. Don't let Hedy fool you!"

"Rural folks lack manners!"

That was the price Hedy had to pay for canceling the engagement with the Johnson Family!
