Chapter 67

It wasn’t long before Anthony pieced out the whole thing. On the first day of school, he had said a few

things to Morgan, mentioning that Mirabella was a special recruit by the principal. Later, when he

learned that Mirabella had left in a hurry, he was so anxious that he left the conversation unfinished.

What he had meant to say was, “Mirabella was recruited by the principal after a lot of effort.” Could

Morgan have misunderstood him because of that?

Anthony rubbed his temples, a frown creasing his forehead.

Seeing Anthony’s gesture, Morgan knew Anthony must’ve recalled the incident and couldn’t help but

snort dismissively. “With so many people present, how could I possibly lie?”

The vice principal, interpreting Anthony’s silence as guilt, curled his lips into a mocking smile. “Let’s not

start accusing me of slinging mud at the principal I can’t bear this blame.”

Anthony opened his mouth to clarify, but before he could get a word out, Delilah and Shawn burst into

the office, their faces etched with urgency, and cut him off.

“What’s happened to my daughter?” Delilah’s voice was tinged with panic. Upon seeing Mirabella

standing there unharmed. Delilah rushed over to squeeze Mirabella’s arm and pat her shoulder, a wave

of relief washing over Delilah when she confirmed her daughter was alright. She had been terrified by

the stern tone of the school’s call, fearing the worst.

The vice principal cleared his throat and addressed Delilah and Shawn with a modicum of politeness.

“The situation is such that we at Parkside High School can no longer continue to enroll your child.

These admissions through pulling strings cast a long shadow, and we thought it best to discuss this in

person before you take your child home.”

Delilah and Shawn exchanged bewildered glances as he finished. “What do you mean? Could you

please be clearer? What’s this pulling strings?” Delilah was genuinely confused.

“My daughter was formally accepted by Parkside High, wasn’t she? She even received an acceptance

letter,” Shawn’s frown deepened, his usually friendly demeanor now replaced by an imposing

sternness.

Even someone consistently proud like the vice principal was slightly taken aback by Shawn’s

demeanor, but what did this husband and wife meant?

Were they refusing to admit pulling strings, and putting on an act?

Wasn’t that a bit too revolting? All because they were related to the principal?

The vice principal laughed bitterly. “Are you seriously suggesting you don’t know how she got in? Do

we need the principal to come back and confront you about it?”

Delilah grew more confused by the second. “Hold on, that’s too harsh. We haven’t done anything

underhanded. Why should we confront anyone?”

After a pause, Delilah shot back, her voice rising with indignation, “Isn’t Parkside High known for its

rigorous standards? Surely you don’t engage in these dirty practices behind closed doors?”

The vice principal at a loss for words after Delilah’s blunt retort, nearly keeled over in frustration.

Supported by the principal these two were bold to the point of disrespect.

“This is utterly preposterous!”

A sudden thought struck Delilah as she watched the vice principal’s expression darken. She

remembered her daughter’s past grades in their hometown and the mysterious acceptance letter that

had arrived out of the blue.

A sinking feeling hit Delilah. The confidence with which she had been ready to challenge the school

was rapidly deflating, like a balloon pricked by a needle.

Was her daughter about to face a scandal?
