Chapter 8 I Am Here For You
"Did you hear that, Mr. Hayes? How could there be such a student at Jipsdale Premier High? She's
too arrogant! She's simply overbearing!â Selena was so livid that she leaped up from the couch.âDo
you not know the kind of creature your daughter is?â Sophie was exceedingly annoyed at her
aggressive attitude."How dare you? Mr. Hayes, if you can't handle this, have the discipline teacher
come over.â Selena knew that Andy was very busy and had no time to handle such a matter. By
then, she was already so infuriated that she couldn't wait anymore.âMrs. Zales, this matterâ"âWhat
about this matter? It's already clear as day that she picked on my daughter! Are you still determined
to defend her now? What exactly is your relationship with her, Mr. Hayes?"Left with no other choice,
Derrick could only have the discipline teacher come over.As soon as Selena saw the discipline
teacher, Rhett Quillen, she instantly demanded, âYou must give me an explanation today, Mr.
Quillen! Look at my daughter's foot. If you canât handle this problem well today, I'll have no choice
but to hand the matter over to the police. This is intentional assault!"Rhett alternated his gaze
between the fuming woman and Sophie, who said nothing at all.âWhat exactly happened here, Mr.
Hayes? Isn't she a new transfer student? It's only her first day here, and she has created such a huge
mess?ââMr. Quillen, it's normal to have conflicts between girls. I think there's no need for us to make
a mountain out of a molehill.ââI'm making a mountain out of a molehill? How could you say that,
Mr. Hayes?"âSince Sophie is at fault, have her parents come and take her away.â Rhett made that
decision after glimpsing Yvonne's foot. Meanwhile, Ysabelle called Tristan at once when she saw
someone summoning Sophie away.âCome over quickly, Uncle Tristan! Someone at school picked on
me!" Tristan was in a meeting when he received her call.âGo to your father instead.â"Uncle Tristan, my
father will kill me if he learns about this. Hurry up and come over!â Ysabelle was on the verge of
tears. After all, Sophie only trod on Yvonne's leg because of her.Knowing how much William loved
that granddaughter of his, Tristan left his work uncompleted in the end and went to Jipsdale Premier
High with Felix.At the school, Rhett had Sophie call her parents and have them come over.Ysabelle
knocked on the door. After obtaining permission to enter, she immediately went in."Mr. Quillen, this
matter has nothing to do with Sophie. It was Yvonne who picked on me."At the sight of her, Rhett's
brows inexorably creased.âWhat do you know, girl? Yvonne has always been a good student with
impeccable character and grades, while Sophie has always been notorious. Do you think Mr. Quillen
will believe that?""All I said was true! Mr. Hayes, it was really Yvonne's fault!"Ysabelle was frantic to
the point of tears when she saw that they didn't believe her.âYou're not needed here, Ysabelle. Go
back.â Sophie hadn't expected her to come over.However, Ysabelle walked right up to her.âDonât be
afraid, Sophie. I'm here for you!"Truly, Sophie never thought that she would hear such words from
another girl.âLook, Mr. Quillen! They're in cahoots. Expel them both! Allowing such students to stay
will only affect the reputation of Jipsdale Premier High!â Selena continued kicking up a fuss
unreasonably.Rhett couldn't quite figure out Ysabelle's background, so he didn't dare make a
decision then."Mrs. Zales, this matterâ""If you canât handle this matter today, Mr. Quillen, then I'll
have no choice but to call Mr. Langston.â Selena put pressure on him.Rhett knew the status of the
Zales family in Jipsdale. As an inconsequential character, he didn't dare offend them.âIn that case,
we shall expel them both,â Rhett murmured helplessly.âMr. Quillen, neither of them committed any
major mistakes. How could you expel them just like this?â Derrick felt that it was too hasty a
decision. He held himself responsible for every single student in the class, so he didn't harbor any
prejudice against Sophie despite knowing that her grades were atrocious.âThis matter is decided,
Mr. Hayes. Mrs. Zales, I heard that your company are recentlyâ""Mr. Quillen is really unreasonable!â
Even Ysabelle, who was as timid as a mouse, couldn't help getting mad by then. She then continued,
âDonât worry, Sophie. I've already given my uncle a call. He's very powerful!âAt that, Sophie arched a
brow. Did I say that I'm afraid? It's merely Jipsdale Premier High. A single phone call from me
determines who's expelled or dismissed."Who do you want to expel? Mr. Quillen, I think there's no
need for you to be at this school anymore.â When Felix heard at the door that Rhett wanted to expel
Ysabelle, his temper spiked.Right after saying that, he pushed open the door and allowed Tristan to
enter before him.Tristan didn't expect to see Sophie there though he knew that she was also a
student at Jipsdale Premier High and was planning to go and visit her later.âWho are you both?â
Rhett had never met Tristan and Felix. But from their auras, he knew that they weren't easy
prey.âWhat a coincidence!â Felix was likewise surprised to see Sophie there.Seeing the two of them,
Sophie couldn't help frowning. Why am I bumping into them everywhere?"That isn't important. The
important thing is, you have no right to expel them both.ââ"How arrogant! Do you think this is your
house? It's the school here! What can you do when Mr. Quillen is determined to expel them?â
Selena hadn't had any opportunity to have contact with people from Tristanâs circle, so she didn't
recognize the man before her. âJust expel them both, Mr. Quillen! Zales Corporation will handle it if
there's any problem!ââZales Corporation?â Tristan spoke at long last. âIs Zales Corporation very
powerful, Felix?"âNo idea. What kind of business is Zales Corporation involved in?â Felix really
couldn't recall any company known as Zales Corporation right then.âDid you see that, Mr. Quillen?
They don't even know of Zales Corporation, yet they're putting on airs here!â Selena threw a
contemptuous look at them.âWhy, is Zales Corporation all that mighty?â Felix countered.âDo you
believe I can make it so that you two are dead meat with a single phone call?â Selena grew all the
smugger. They're afraid now, huh?âHonestly speaking, I'm really a touch scared now. I've still got my
entire family to support, so what am I to do if I donât have a job?â Felix fretted sarcastically.Selena
was too confident in Zales Corporation, and her sense of triumph soared after she heard that.âSo,
what's your choice? If the two of you are willing to drop to your knees and apologize to me now, I
can still spare you both.""What?â Hah! She's walking all over us! Just because I gave her an inch,
sheâs taking a mile!Tristan was already at the end of his patience. Why bother yakking with such a
person here?âI'm giving you three hours to have the Zales Corporation she mentioned vanish from
Jipsdale, Felix. Also, ensure that the Zales family do not appear anywhere I might go
henceforth!"When it came to being arrogant and domineering, no one could compare to him."What
are you saying? Are you dreaming? Make Zales Corporation vanish? Do you think you're Tristan
Lombard?â In Jipsdale, only that man dares to say such a thing!âMr. Quillen, I don't want anyone to
know about the incident today.â After saying that, Tristan turned around and headed out.Ysabelle
promptly followed, tugging Sophie along. I just knew that Uncle Tristan could resolve the matter as
soon as he intervenes!
