Chapter 2676 No Longer Had The Arrogance She Had Yesterday

When their eyes met each other, Luca wondered if she was sitting too far away and that was why

she could not see clearly.

Luca could feel the fear in Mrs. Hudson's eyes when they exchanged glances with each other.

Why did the arrogant woman who threatened to get Tommy expelled from school yesterday have a

fearful look in her eyes when she saw Luca today?

Luca saw Mr. Hudson open his mouth. It was as though he said something really short. Then, the

two of them walked toward her.

Ashley seemed to be afraid of Mrs. Hudson. She immediately leaned on Luca.

Luca held the two kids in her arms, one on the left and another one on the right.

She had to protect them.

Mrs. Tuffey came in when the two of them had just taken two steps forward. Mrs. Tuffey smiled as

she stood on the podium. “Dear parents, please be quiet and return to your seats. The parent-

teacher conference is starting soon.”

Mrs. Hudson turned around and glanced at Mrs. Tuffey. She eventually pulled the man to Charlie's

seat and sat down on the chair.

Charlie's seat was a few rows away from Tommy's.

Luca no longer looked at them.

Mrs. Tuffey waited for the parents to sit down. Then, she said, “Class, please welcome the principal

of the school to give his speech.”

After that, Mrs. Tuffey connected the computer to the projector. The principal appeared on the

screen.

The principal's speech was mostly about how much they were concerned about the students’

development and how to improve the students’ learning abilities. They also taught the parents how

to cooperate with the school to educate their children well.

It was always the same thing. Luca listened to it absentmindedly.

At last, the principal announced that the school would be building a new academic building, and he

told everyone to look forward to it.

Then, the principal ended his speech.

Luca frowned. Was the principal making the implication that he was asking for sponsorship when he

told everyone to look forward to it?

Tommy's school was a private elite school. The teachers were professional, and the students and

parents were wealthy too.

It was an easy task for them to build a new academic building for the school.

Still, she did not know what Luke would do.

When Luca was lost in thoughts, Mrs. Tuffey said, “Thank you for your patience. Next, I'd like to talk

about how the students have been doing in school lately. I hope everyone can cooperate with me.

Thank you.”

Mrs. Tuffey started to play the slideshow after that.

The slideshow basically complimented the students who excelled in their studies and were well-

behaved.

Luca watched the slideshow, and this was the part she paid the most attention to during the parent-

teacher conference. She could know how her child had been doing in school.

Luca noticed that Tommy's name was on every commendation list.

Even though Tommy was naughty, he behaved himself and performed well at school.

Luca was so happy that she stroked Tommy's head.

Ashley tugged Luca's sleeves and called her, “Ms. Luca.”

“What's the matter?” Luca turned to look at her and asked in a soft voice. She tried not to disturb

the other parents listening to Mrs. Tuffey’s speech.

“Mommy isn't here yet. Can you please take photos of the slideshow? I'd like her to see them,” said

Ashley. Ashley's name was on the commendation lists too.

“Sure.” Luca quickly took her phone out and took photos of the screen when Ashley's name

appeared.

After Mrs. Tuffey gave her speech, it was the other teachers’ turn to give their speeches.

The teachers’ speeches were no different from Mrs. Tuffey's. They emphasized their professionalism

in the subjects they taught and which students had performed well.

Tommy's name was on every teacher's commendation list.

Ashley was good too. All the teachers complimented her except the Math teacher.

“Ms. Luca, am I good?” Tommy could not wait to hear Luca praise him.

“You're good. You're the best, Tommy. Keep up the good work,” encouraged Luca. The last teacher

finished giving her speech. Thus, Luca spoke a little louder.

"Of course. Lanie is my role model. I wish I to be as smart as Lanie,” said Tommy. Lanie was his role

model.

Luca smiled and replied in a soft voice, “Alright. You're both smart.”

When the last subject teacher ended her speech, it would be time for parents and teachers to talk to

each other.

The parents could leave if they had nothing to ask.

Luca had nothing to ask. The teachers said that Tommy was doing well in his studies. He was a role

model to the other students, and the teachers complimented him.

Hence, there was nothing more she could ask.

Mrs. Tuffey and the Math teacher walked toward Luca. Then, she said, “Hello, you came on behalf of

Tommy's parents—"

"Yes. His parents are busy with work. His great-grandfather has difficulty walking. That's why I

came,” explained Luca. She noticed that Charlie's parents were standing not far away from her.

They kept a certain distance from her, but Luca could see the expression on their faces.

Mrs. Hudson no longer had the arrogance she had yesterday.

Luca thought it was strange. Logically speaking, Charlie's parents should have embarrassed her in

front of everyone today.

Mrs. Hudson thought Luca was poor and that they spent all their money to send Tommy to this

school.

"Hello, this is Mr. Collins, Tommy's Math teacher. He'd like to discuss something with you,” said Mrs.

Tuffey.

“Alright, Mrs. Tuffey. Nice to meet you, Mr. Collins.” Luca stopped looking at Charlie's parents

Instead, she rose to her feet and greeted Mr. Collins.

“Nice to meet you. You're Tommy's..." Mr. Collins asked politely. He heard Luca saying that Tommy's

parents were busy working a moment ago.

“Aunt,” replied Luca. She told Mrs. Tuffey that she was Tommy's aunt. There was no way she could

address herself as someone else in front of Mr. Collins.

"Great. Well, Tommy passed Math with flying colors. I think he has a knack for it. So, I was

wondering if Tommy can participate in the Mathematical Olympiad for elementary schools that will

be held in April. But before Tommy can participate in the competition, he has to attend the training

program which starts next week. The training program will take an hour, and it'll be held after

school from Monday to Friday, which means Tommy will have to go home late. I'd like to ask for

your permission. Will you allow Tommy to participate in the competition?" If Tommy was

participating in the competition, he had to stay at school for another hour. That was why Mr. Collins

would like to ask for Luca's opinion.

“Um, I'd have to ask his father first.” Luca did not agree to it right away.

It should not be a problem for Tommy to stay in school for another hour, but it was hard to tell if

the child was willing to do so. Besides, Zander would have to make another trip to pick him up.

Hence, Luca was reluctant to do so.

However, it was Luke who had to make the decision.

"Alright. Please inform us in the school parent group after his parents decide for him,” said Mr.

Collins.

“No problem.” Luca nodded and agreed to it.
