Chapter 27
“I’m an adult, but more importantly, I’m your teacher, I shouldn’t be swayed by money, it’s my fault”
“Wow, impressivel
Jonathan suddenly spoke up, looking at the two of them through the rearview mirror, “You guys are so loyal to each other? Why don’t you become sworn brothers right now?”
Estelle and Henson both went silent.
Jonathan paused for a moment, then said to Henson, “It’s not wrong to stand up for justice and protect the weak when you are sure of your own safety, but when it comes to your classmates, you don’t have to be so heavy-handed.”
Henson obediently responded with an “oh.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong overall, so I won’t scold you!”
Jonathan immediately beamed with joy. “Thank you, Uncle!”

Henson felt relieved and said goodbye to them before getting out of the car and being escorted by bodyguards
into the school.
Estelle frowned but didn’t say anything, as speaking would only lead to unnecessary suspicions.
Jonathan asked again, “You said you were bought by money, how much did Henson pay you?”
“Huh?” Estelle’s face changed slightly. Did she say such a thing?
Her intelligence must have really dropped, otherwise, why would she expose herself like this?
Feeling like she had already lost enough face today, Estelle decided to just let it out, “He said that once. everything was done, he would persuade you to double my salary.”
Jonathan nodded, then said unhurriedly, “Henson’s study has indeed improved, and I did have plans to raise your salary before.”
Estelle’s face lit up.
“But now,” Jonathan continued, “I’ve changed my mind.”
Estelle, “……
