Chapter 116 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Nevertheless, who would expect Ms. Thompson, who often found faults in students, to have good hearing? When she heard Sammey’s words, she shouted, “Sammey, what did you say?!” Sammey did not bother to hide it since he had been caught. He raised his head and said, “I said Nicole tutored us better than you! Unlike you, who would insult us after teaching us a while, Nicole respects us. And I can comprehend everything she explains! An ‘excellent teacher’ like you is incompetent!” As soon as those words came out of Sammey’s mouth, Ms. Thompson raised her hand angrily. She was on the verge of slapping him. Just when she was about to slap him, a fair and slender hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. There was a bracelet of red woven yarn on the wrist of the hand. It was neither thick nor thin. The hand had a strong grip. No matter how hard Ms. Thompson struggled, she could not even shake the bracelet. It was as if the hand had infinite strength, making her unable to move. Sammey, who was ready to take a slap, saw nothing happen after waiting for a long while. When he looked up, he called out in surprise, “Boss!” However, Nicole did not look at him.
• Instead, she waved her phone indolently at Ms. Thompson. “He asked for you,” she said indifferently. Then, ignoring Ms. Thompson’s resentful face, she shoved the phone into Ms. Thompson’s hand in the air. Although Ms. Thompson had no intention to speak on Nicole’s phone in the slightest, Nicole had already pressed it to her ear. Ms. Thompson could not move her hand, but that did not stop her from mocking Nicole: “Do you really think you can sway the school’s decision with a phone call? Nicole, you are too ignorant; our school is...” Mr. . Ellison frowned upon hearing her voice reach Mr. . Ellison from the other side of the phone. Never did he expect Ms. Thompson, who always looked serious, to say such a thing. He called out coldly, “Ms. Thompson.” Ms. Thompson’s mouth, which was still talking, suddenly widened, her lips trembling. She quivered as she answered, “Mr. . Ellison?” She had never expected Nicole to make a phone call to the school principal! Mr. . Ellison was someone not even Ms. Thompson herself could reach. Yet, Nicole could contact him directly.
• It was a shocking discovery! Reminded of her words, Ms. Thompson felt so regretful to the point that she wanted to cut her tongue off. The entire class also became silent when they heard Ms. Thompson address the person on the other side as “Mr. . Ellison.” They exchanged looks repeatedly, then broke out in a cold sweat. Vivian, in the first row, had her nails embedded in her palms. She had never expected that Nicole could contact Mr. . Ellison directly! ‘What is her relationship with the Ellison family?’ Almost everyone looked at Nicole in horror. ‘We all have badmouthed Nicole to some point. We will face doom if Nicole, who is backed by Mr. . Ellison, wants to pay back. Nicole would probably sneer if she heard their thoughts. After all, she did not need Mr. . Ellison if she really wanted payback. Ms. Thompson listened to Mr. . Ellison on the other end of the phone, her face getting paler. Mr. . Ellison did not sound harsh, but his voice was imposing. “Ms. Thompson, is this a proper way to treat students? Giving penalties indiscriminately and asking the school to expel students based on subjective assumptions? Tell me who gave you the authority.”
