Chapter 36 - 36: Totally Unreasonable

However, it wasn’t a good time to overtly state it. Nelly Woods decided to wait until Adrian Zhekova was gone, then remind the headmaster about it.

So what if Morgan Clarke has Adrian Zhekova backing her?

If either Cindy Clarke or Adrian Zhekova don’t fork out money, there is no advantage to the headmaster keeping Morgan Clarke.

On the contrary, retaining Arthur Woods, the Woods family would still make a hefty sponsorship payment every year.

In all truth, there was no need to give heed to Adrian Zhekova’s threat.

If Adrian Zhekova doesn’t sweeten the deal, his high status wouldn’t fetch the Nursery any benefits.

As Nelly Woods was pleasing herself with these thoughts, she surprisingly heard Adrian Zhekova say, “I can guarantee that the Woods family won’t be able to afford it.”

Adrian Zhekova glanced at Nelly Woods’ face, “So, don’t think that I can’t stop the Woods family even if they willingly pay.”

The headmaster despaired, it seemed that there was no way to protect Arthur Woods today.

Nelly Woods was jolted into action.

Did Adrian Zhekova mean that he would make a move against the Woods family if she insisted on competing with Cindy Clarke today?

Although they were in business, the Woods family wasn’t a big player by any means when compared to large corporations, let alone Adrian Zhekova.

He could easily crush them with one hand.

Nelly Woods’ face alternated between paleness and a greenish tint, she was bitterly resentful. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After stewing for a while, she gritted her teeth and stammered out, “Master Adrian, this is utterly unreasonable of you!”

Was he trying to force out Arthur from their home?

His leaving and being forced to leave are two entirely different matters!

Yet, confronted with Adrian Zhekova’s intimidation, she was utterly helpless!

Adrian Zhekova scoffed, “Didn’t you just intimidate Cindy Clarke and Morgan

Zhekova? So why can’t I do the same to you?”

Adrian Zhekova gazed coldly at the headmaster, “Hurry up and make your decision, we have other matters to attend to.”

The headmaster was helpless, since Adrian Zhekova seemed to have made up his mind, he couldn’t risk offending him and lose out on the sponsorship.

The headmaster had no choice but to say, “Well… Of course, we’ll keep Morgan.”

The headmaster turned to Nelly Woods and added, “Nelly, about this incident… Arthur was certainly the one at fault. How could he insult someone? And moreover, the insults were so cruel, he even got physical.”

“Kids will be kids, they don’t know any better. The nursery won’t expel him, you guys can arrange for a transfer yourselves.” The headmaster, not wanting to incur the wrath of the Woods family, expressed, “Hopefully, Arthur will improve in the future.”

“So, all the sponsorship money that we’ve given you for the past two years was for nothing?” Nelly Woods bit back.

“Nelly, you can’t say such things.” The headmaster swiftly changed his tone from before when he was all over her, “The sponsorship was voluntary, intended to improve our nursery. We didn’t force you to.”

“Besides, these two years, Arthur has not suffered any injustice here. Even this time, though it was evidently Arthur who messed up first, we didn’t involve him in it.” said the headmaster, “Yesterday, our first concern was Arthur.”

“Nelly, we’ve really tried our best.” The headmaster reasoned, aware that he couldn’t refund their sponsorship.

That was impossible.

As for how the headmaster and Nelly Woods are going to resolve this, Adrian Zhekova had washed his hands of it. He held Morgan Clarke in his arms and said to Cindy Clarke, “Let’s go.”

Cindy Clarke promptly followed.

Morgan Clarke had stopped crying. She wiped away her tears, her head leaning against Adrian’s shoulder; yet, she couldn’t help but giggle..
