Chapter 360
What was the difference between this outcome and expulsion?
Sean’s face was ashen, and his hands clenched into fists on his knees.
Liam casually pushed the cup of tea he had just poured in Sean’s direction, and Sean looked up to meet Liam’s calm eyes, suddenly feeling composed.
He seemed to understand the message in Liam’s gaze: Why lose your cool when the main point hasn’t even been discussed yet?
Celeste waited for Mr. Milman to finish speaking before lifting her eyelids, “Mr. Milman, which garbage university did you graduate from?”
Caught off guard, Mr. Milman’s face was filled with disgust, “What… what did you say?”
Celeste continued, “Correct me if I’m wrong. In the matter of fighting, is the injured party automatically right? The first sentence of your school’s motto is fairness and justice. Have you remained impartial in this matter?”
“From the moment you stepped in, all you cared about was what Mrs. Kelley wanted to do. Are we just actors you invited to perform a show with you? Are you serving your students or acting as Mrs. Kelley’s personal servant? If you’re her pet, you might as well quit your job and be her dog.”
Celeste left no room for Mr. Milman’s dignity.
No one had ever dared to criticize Mr. Milman as directly as Celeste just did.
Sean watched, dumbfounded.
Mr. Milman was notoriously snobbish in school. He would pamper well-off students but ignore average ones. Not only was he a bully, but he was also a bootlicker.
Although his reputation among students was poor, he was favored by the school board and his colleagues had to step aside for him. Celeste’s words were equivalent to a complete loss of face for Mr. Milman, doing what everyone else wanted to but was too afraid to do. Mr. Milman’s face turned pale and green, pointing at Celeste before finally saying, “You’re just… so ill-mannered!”
Celeste snorted, “My manners depend on your own integrity. If you practice favoritism and have such thick skin, why should I respect you?” Mrs. Kelley looked at her with contempt as she talked aggressively, figuring that she must be a newly hired staff member from the welfare
agency
who didn’t have many skills and could only show off with her mouth.
She sneered, “No wonder this unwanted kid has no manners, it’s because his guardian has no manners as well. Mr. Milman, are you not expelling this morally corrupt student because you want to bring him home for Christmas?”
Celeste frowned, “Who are you calling ‘unwanted?”
Mrs. Kelley chuckled, “Actually, that’s not quite accurate. Maybe I should call him a ‘stray dog’ instead!”
As soon as her words fell, Celeste suddenly grabbed the cup in front of Sean and splashed the tea on the woman’s face.
“Did you forget to brush your teeth before you left the house? Let me help you clean up!”
Celeste’s move was so fast that Sean didn’t even have time to react.
It was hot water he had just gotten from the water dispenser a few minutes ago.
As expected, the woman screamed in pain, her face covered by her hands. Her arrogant attitude vanished instantly, leaving her looking quite miserable
Everyone in the office was shocked, except for Liam, who calmly pushed another cup toward Celeste.
Sean was speechless.
He thought Liam was worried about Celeste acting impulsively, but it turned out that he was actually her armory.
