Chapter 143: This isn’t over yet
"I don’t care who tried to kill Penny, but this school should be ashamed! All of you! Hah! School for the rich?! No. This school, at this point, is a school for bullies!"
When Jessa finished talking, she was already panting.
"This is ridiculous!" she continued after a few seconds to catch a breath. "One brat is saying everything she wants, and no one calls her out for it. These girls are acting as if they don’t deserve to be punished, but they do! They might not be innocent in an attempted murder, but they were just as liable as the culprit!"
"And then you!" she swung her arm and pointed a finger in Ray’s direction, making Ray flinch in surprise. "How can you pursue an innocent thirteen-year-old, huh!? Do you know that’s bordering on a crime!? If you’re a year older, I can sue you for this harassment!"
With everything that Jessa spewed, not a single soul in the office couldn’t retort or say anything. Everyone involved could only lower their heads in shame. Even Patricia zipped her mouth, scared Jessa would suddenly grab her hair and maltreat her.
"Ah, goodness! So much for the titles and exclusivity of this school. Am I the only one who has a brain in here!? Oh, my goodness! You’re going to give me wrinkles." Jessa pulled the side of her face to stop any wrinkles from showing. While doing so, she once again glared daggers at Allison. She didn’t bother with Charles because Charles actually reached out to her last night.
Haines, on the other hand, remained quiet and glanced at Jessa. It was a good thing he picked her up. After all, Charles and Allison couldn’t come as both Nina and Penny’s guardians; they couldn’t be on the same side as the victim and the perpetrator.
"I understand, Mrs. Cortez," the headmaster expressed sincerely, his heart full of remorse. "It is why we’re going to deal with this thoroughly. Although we are trying to figure out who was the real culprit behind the flowerpot incident, everyone involved in the bullying will face consequences."
Jessa crossed her arms, her eyes now falling on Nina.
"Auntie..." Nina shook her head before she turned to Allison. "Mom."
"She’s not your mother. Why are you calling for her when your guardian is already here?" Jessa clicked her tongue and saw Allison give her a look of dismay. Of course, Jessa wouldn’t back down. "Allison Bennet, my patience with you is as tiny as an ant now. How can you stand on the side of the victim and the side of the suspect? Don’t make me say more — I’ll make you cry."
Allison bit her inner bottom lips while Charles held her shoulders. Charles then lifted his eyes to Jessa, nodding very slightly, but Jessa didn’t say another word.
