"Is that really okay with you?" Morwenna suddenly asked.
"Absolutely, as long as you can forgive me, I'll do anything," Sandra replied without hesitation.
She needed Morwenna's forgiveness desperately, or both she and the entire Roberts family would be doomed.
After a moment of thought, Morwenna said, "Alright then. Since you seem to have a knack for getting people expelled, how about you try teaching in a rural school? See for yourself what it's like for kids from underprivileged backgrounds to study in challenging conditions, and just how hard they have to work to get into a good school."
"What did you say?" Sandra gasped in disbelief.
Morwenna simply gave her a level look.
Sandra quickly lowered her head, "I'll do it! I'll drop out and leave tomorrow!"
"No need for that. You don't have to drop out. Keep your enrollment. As for the Roberts family, how about building ten new Hope Schools? That shouldn't be too difficult for the Roberts family, should it?"
"Not at all, not at all."
At this point, any demand from Morwenna was a blessing, considering the alternative for the Roberts family was utter ruin.
Forget ten, the Roberts family would agree to a hundred schools if it meant solving their problem.
Seeing Sandra agree, Morwenna continued, "If you manage that, I'll tell Stuart to stop giving the Roberts family any trouble. Just make sure you follow through."
She didn't offer forgiveness. Sandra claimed the Roberts family was innocent, but Morwenna wasn't convinced.
If the Roberts family was truly innocent, would they expel a student without a second thought?
After Morwenna left, she felt a twinge of guilt.
Was she being a bully?
She immediately called Stuart.
He answered, clearly still groggy, "Princess."
Hearing Stuart's voice, Morwenna's mind raced back to the previous night's escapades, where he'd called her 'Princess' countless times.
