Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43: It was nice working with you

Principal Patrick bowed respectfully as Xander Emerson walked out of his office.

But the moment they stepped outside, Taylor could not hold back his question.

"Boss, why did you spare Nate’s homeroom teacher?" he asked, walking alongside Xander until they reached the car.

Just as Xander was about to step in, he paused.

"Because Patrick is going to handle him."

With that, he got into the car.

Taylor tilted his head, clearly confused. But instead of questioning further, he simply shrugged it off and slid into the passenger seat beside the driver.

Meanwhile, back inside the principal’s office, Patrick had just survived what felt like a full-scale war.

For a moment, he leaned back in his chair, trying to steady his breathing.

Then, just as quickly, his expression changed.

The nervousness vanished.

In its place came something cold. Controlled.

Decisive.

Without wasting another second, he picked up the telephone and dialed a number.

"Mister Thorne, I want you in my office. Now."

He hung up before the other person could respond, his fingers tapping slowly against the desk as he waited.

Gavin was in the middle of work when his phone rang. The moment he saw the caller ID, he answered immediately.

"Mister Thorne, is everything alright at the school?" Gavin’s voice was calm, but the meaning beneath his words was clear to the man on the other end.

"Mr. Emerson, you need to save me. I am being fired from my job without any warning," Mister Thorne cried.

Gavin raised a brow, taken aback by the sound of a grown man nearly breaking down. "What are you saying, Mister Thorne? Why would they fire you?" he asked, keeping his tone steady.

Mister Thorne was not just Nate’s teacher but also Gavin’s informant, someone who kept him updated on everything happening within the school.

Fully aware of his son’s indecent behavior and his habit of bullying not only Leo but other students as well, Gavin had relied on Mister Thorne to keep things under control.

Whenever complaints surfaced, Mister Thorne would quietly inform Gavin, and the matter would be handled outside the academy without anyone suspecting a thing.

But this time, things were different.

Nate had targeted Leo.

Not just any student, but his cousin... and more importantly, Xander Emerson’s son.

That alone changed everything.

Mister Thorne had always believed that by helping Nate, he was earning Gavin’s favor. He had even hoped that one day, when the opportunity came, he might secure a promotion, perhaps even the principal’s position.

But now, with his job on the line, everything was crumbling.

He had lost his chance, his future, and worst of all, he had come under Xander Emerson’s notice.

What was the point of anything if no one would hire him again? he thought miserably, his panic growing.

"Please do something, Mr. Emerson," he pleaded. "I have a family to look after and loans to pay on the house I recently bought."

He had earned well and believed it would continue. But now, he found himself cornered, and Gavin Emerson was the only person who could help him.

Gavin went silent for a moment, thinking.
