Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 852

Chapter 852 Am I Dead to You?

The next second, Alexander and the Dean of Admissions, Ms. Dolly, strode in. “It seems like this isn’t the people’s school. It is more like the Zorn Family’s school!”

Alexander’s tone was vicious and full of contempt, and they were like a hard slap on Fenris’ face. Even Ms. Dolly next to him was worried on Fenris’ behalf.

Fenris was so frightened by the look in Alexander’s eyes he didn’t know where to put his hands. Some time had passed before he wiped off his cold sweat and sheepishly tried to explain, “It is just a misunderstanding, Mr. Griffith. I am only punishing the students!”

“Misunderstanding?” Alexander rolled his eyes. “The Dean and I heard everything about the bet when we were outside. You are obviously trying to go back on your word now. Is that not the case?”

“Um…” Fenris was still wiping off his sweat when he tried to ease the tension with a smile. “Oh, children don’t know much. It was just a joke. It’s alright!”

However, Alexander refused to budge. “You sure have a silver tongue, Mr. Zorn. However, I am afraid you have forgotten that this is a school. It is a place of education. What right do you have to educate children if you can’t even promise the fulfillment of the most basic principles of life?”

The air in the office was instantly filled with tension, and it was hard to breathe. Seeing this, Ms. Dolly quickly spoke up to mediate. “Mr. Zorn, why don’t you apologize to the children? It will be fine as long as you do so!”

“Huh? Oh! Yes, yes.” Fenris was confused at first, but he quickly collected himself and looked at the children in an attempt to butter them up. “Irvin, I was just joking earlier. That bet doesn’t count. I will apologize to you now. How about you be forgiving, good children and forgive me, alright?”

Alexander’s eyes suddenly darkened as a murderous glint flash across them when he heard those words.

He could tell that the Dean and vice-principal were trying to evoke the children’s sympathy and let them have the shorter end of the stick. Foxes, he fumed.

He was just about to say something to fight for his children when Irvin replied, “No can do.” The boy had an indifferent face as he explained, “A real man never goes back on his words. As long as I don’t agree, you can’t one-sidedly break the deal. The deal still stands.”

Fenris’ face swiftly fell at the boy’s words. “Child, it is not good to be so stubborn. Let’s do it this way instead. Ymir, you and your sister can all stay. You and I will both compromise. How does that sound?”

“No!” Irvin insisted, making Fenris completely lose his patience.

“You are still saying no?!” Fenris’ face was stoic when he warned, “Don’t push it, Irvin White. There is a limit to my patience.”

Irvin raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes as he spoke in a cold voice. “From beginning to end, it was Ymir who caused the conflict. Mr. Zorn, not only did you not investigate the truth of the matter, you insisted on doing it your way by wanting to expel my sister and I, even though we are the victims. When that failed, you tried to kick us out by making a bet with me. We were the ones who have been putting up with all of this, but why does it sound like you are the one who was wronged?”

Fenris was caught speechless at that. After struggling to answer the child, he finally turned angry from all the embarrassment. “Just look at your attitude—how dare a student nitpick on a teacher?! I don’t think you know what it means to respect your teachers!”

His way of changing the topic was the same as when women were unreasonable. With how they would blame it on the other party’s attitude when they couldn’t win the argument, they could always complain about someone else while they themselves had taken the moral high ground.

Alexander wasn’t at all worried despite seeing Irvin on the verge of being taken advantage of. Instead, he waited for the boy’s reaction.

Sure enough, Irvin reacted by turning around to take his laptop. He clicked a few buttons before a voice recording was played back.

The recording happened to be about Irvin and Fenris’ deal about how Fenris would expel Ymir from the school if Irvin could fix the computer system.

Now that both the witness and evidence were here, Fenris no longer had a way to worm out of this pickle.
