Chapter 122 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Ms. Thompson wanted to stop mr. Kennedy, but it was too late, so she could only try to smoothen things out as she said, “It’s okay. Nicole, you continue your chat with ms. Emerson, We’ll leave first!” As she said that, she dragged mr. Kennedy away. mr. Kennedy did not understand what was going on and wanted to speak. He was immediately told to shut up by ms. Thompson. He was stunned. When he noticed ms. Thompson’s expression, he recalled the matter with Jessy that he had sought ms. Thompson’s aid. He quickly said, “ms. Thompson, Jessy was injured by Nicole, and now Nicole is acting like this. Is it because she is nursing a grudge over the penalty you gave her?” mr. Kennedy played a scene out in his head, and the more he thought about it, the more possible it sounded. Although ms. Thompson did not tell him what had happened this morning, her non-response was the best response. ‘ms. Thompson must’ve settled the matter already. Since it was just a small matter, maybe she thinks there’s no need to update me,’ he thought. ‘Otherwise, why would she suddenly call me this afternoon to stop ms. Emerson?’ ms. Thompson looked at his greasy, stupid face as she took a deep breath.
• ‘If it weren’t for you being mr. Anderson’s relative, why would I even bother with you!’ When she recalled what she went through because of Nicole, a glint of cold light appeared in her eyes. “Mike, can you contact your uncle and ask what relationship Nicole has with mr. Ellison?” If mr. Ellison were to keep helping Nicole, and if Nicole were to stand by ms. Emerson like today, then it would be difficult for them to do anything. After all, the teaching funds approved by the school every year were controlled by her. She was always stingy toward her subordinates. It was only because mr. Kennedy was her right-hand man and had helped her a lot, plus he was also a relative of the school director, that she recommended him every year for the outstanding teacher award. When he got the award, she would get a substantial amount in kickbacks too. But now, seeing that Nicole was only cheering ms. Emerson on, ms. Thompson felt a tinge of uneasiness in her heart, mr. Kennedy did not understand why ms. Thompson was so fearful of mr. Ellison’s relationship with Nicole.
• However, when he recalled mr. Ellison deliberately allowed Nicole to pick between him and ms. Emerson when she started school here, it did shock him! “I’ll ask my uncle in a bit. But he’s a busy man, and I have no idea if I can get him on the line,” said mr. Kennedy with an astonished tone as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. ms. Thompson nodded. She knew that it was not easy for mr. Kennedy to get in touch with mr. Anderson, but this was something she needed to make sure for her to be able to rest assured. She secretly prayed that Nicole had nothing to do with mr. Ellison, or else her life in this school would not be as rosy as it was now. As she thought of that, ms. Thompson gave mr. Kennedy a glance. “You better pray that Nicole is not related to mr. Ellison, or our lives in this school will be hell!” After saying her piece, ms. Thompson left, leaving only mr. Kennedy alone. He immediately took his phone out and quickly called a number, It rang a dozen times before an impatient voice came from the other side. “Didn’t I tell you not to call for no reason? mr. Anderson is busy!” mr. Kennedy smiled as he said, “Yes, yes, mr. Wyatt, I understand. I just want to ask my uncle something. It won’t take too long.” A rather dissatisfied response came from the other side.
