Nicole paused, turned around to look at the teacher, and spoke gently.
"Miss, I just want the principal to personally investigate this matter. Whether Max did it intentionally and whether he threatened Michael, there should be a result on whether these things are true or not. If you didn't do anything wrong, then don't worry about losing your job. If you did something wrong, then this job isn’t suitable for you. After all, not everyone can take on the job of teaching and educating others.”
The teacher's face turned a few shades whiter.
Nicole smiled. "Why should I let Michael suffer just for you to keep your job?"
The teacher's eyes were written with panic and helplessness.
"Ms. Stanton..."
She thought she could turn a blind eye to it, but Lil Michael’s words exposed this matter.
Lil Michael pulled Nicole’s hand and looked at the teacher.
"As long as you let him come over and apologize to me and promise not to do anything harmful in the future, I can forgive him."
Nicole raised her brows. "Why should you forgive him? I can solve this matter.”
Lil Michael pursed his lips. "She's a good teacher. I don’t want her to lose her job, but I don’t want her to cover for bad students either!"
Nicole looked at the teacher. "Did you hear that? I'll go to the principal or tell him to find me. Call Max's parents."
The teacher looked overwhelmed. However, she could only nod stiffly and went to the side to make a call.
Nicole found a seat and sat down, looking at Lil Michael’s right arm carefully.
"Does it still hurt?"
Lil Michael nodded. “A little, but Daddy said that it's shameful for boys to cry just because it hurts. I'll endure it!"
Then, he raised his tiny fist to cheer himself up.
Lil Michael was smart and witty, so he knew to tell her all the grievances he encountered.
Otherwise, the damage would only become more serious.
As the two laughed and joked around, the teacher came around from the corner with a careful and apologetic face.
"Ms. Stanton, Max’s mother, my sister, will be here soon. Please wait a moment."
Nicole nodded. The teacher's caution and distress made Nicole a little uncomfortable.
If Lil Michael had not said these things, this teacher would probably have never said this and thought that sending him to the hospital was accomplishing her mission.
Lil Michael's annual tuition fee was close to $700,000 but the service and quality they wanted were far from expectations.
A teacher with such a weak character was not suitable for staying in such an international school.
