5.74 % Chapter 8 Steven stated , " Principal Richardson , embezzling donations , falsifying accounts , bullying students , slandering parents . Is that enough to give you a peaceful retirement in prison ? " The principal collapsed to his knees with a thud , his obese body shaking violently as he crumpled to the ground . " Mr. Walsh ! I was wrong ! It was all Linda ! It was her ! She misled me ! She said your daughter had a withdrawn personality and needed ' special methods ' of education ! She incited me , saying your wife was just a single mother who was easy to bully and would never dare make a big fuss ! " " You're lying ! " Linda , who had been collapsed on the ground , suddenly jumped up , pointing at the principal with a twisted face . " You fat bastard Richardson ! Who was it that told me that as long as we stepped on this child and made room in the Advanced Mathematics Competition for the new sponsor's child , you'd promote me to head teacher ?! " " And you ! " She turned to Director Anderson , who was already scared senseless . " Didn't you also say that her mother drives a bear car , obviously poor , and if we offended her , so what ? Could she really turn the tables ?! " Director Anderson completely lost control , screaming as she lunged forward to claw at Linda's face . " You're making false accusations ! I never said that ! It was clearly you who took black money from the sponsor , wanting to sell the spot ! Mr. Walsh , you have to believe me ! I can testify ! I can tell you everything ! " A disgusting display of mutual accusations played out before millions of viewers , utterly revolting . I watched all of this coldly , feeling only desolation in my heart . This was their so - called " rules .

I have submitted all evidence to the police and am personally filing a lawsuit demanding maximum criminal prosecution . You'll never work in education again ! Director Anderson , as an accomplice who threatened and intimidated , you can expect both court summons and termination notices from the school . " " As for you , Principal .

Steven wrapped Lily tightly in his suit jacket . He walked to me , gazing into my eyes , all his sharp edges softened , leaving only overwhelming tenderness . He reached out , his fingertips brushing away my tears . " Susan , I'm sorry . I came too late . " Steven's car didn't stop at any hotel . The black luxury sedan left the downtown area and finally stopped in front of an imposing traditional estate . The vermillion gates opened . I gripped Lily's hand tightly , my palms slick with cold sweat . Seeing those gates , my heart lurched as memories of being thrown out six years ago flooded back . My body froze . I grabbed her hand and instinctively reached for the car door , wanting to escape . " Susan . " Steven turned off the engine and looked back at me , his voice deep and powerful . " Don't be afraid . Six years ago I failed to protect you , but today , I won't let you suffer even the slightest grievance . " He paused , speaking each word deliberately , " What I need to resolve was never just those pieces of trash at the school . It's ensuring that you and I never have to worry about anything again .
