Chapter 896

However, the group had spiraled out of control.

Bummie’s parents reminisced, “I remember when school started before the Parent Committee was formed, our group was harmonious. Whenever a parent needed help or the school had an announcement, whoever was available would step up and take responsibility. We were all about mutual assistance back then… But everything changed with the Parent Committee.”

Kacy’s parents chimed in, “Exactly! Ever since the Parent Committee was established, people no longer engage in conversations within the group. What’s the purpose of the Parent Committee anyway? To brown-nose?”

Chozie added her suggestion, “I recommend abolishing the Parent Committee.”

Other parents joined in, expressing their agreement.

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

…

Peter’s mom and Isabella’s mom fell silent, feeling exasperated by the stubbornness of the other parents. They were on the verge of being infuriated by the entire group.

Isabella’s mom felt particularly aggrieved. As a member of the Parent Committee, she believed that their contributions behind the scenes to the class went unnoticed by everyone. Today, when Lilly’s grandmother stirred up trouble, everyone followed suit and turned against them. They seemed to think they could dictate the actions of the Parent Committee!

Isabella’s mom had endured a night of mockery, not only from Lilly’s grandmother but also from the teacher and other parents who adopted a snide tone. Their defenses crumbled under the weight of it all.

With a tearful voice, Isabella’s mom sent a voice message, “Fine, let’s disband it! I’ve longed to be free from this Parent Committee. Our efforts go unseen, and we tirelessly work for the class, yet everyone takes it for granted. The moment we make a mistake, they don’t hesitate to blame us. Who wants to endure this frustration if not for the sake of our children?”

As the sound of her sobbing reached everyone’s ears, a parent quickly stepped forward to smooth things over:

“Oh, come on, everyone is doing this for the sake of their children! Let’s not make a big deal out of tonight’s incident. From now on, let’s listen to Teacher Robin and cooperate to do our work properly.

Let’s not create unnecessary chaos.”

Someone chimed in, “The Parent Committee parents have worked hard!”

Immediately, many others followed suit, “The Parent Committee parents have worked hard!”

The Crawford family observed the situation.

Bettany finished her dinner comfortably and checked her phone, only to discover that the situation hadn’t been resolved yet. To her surprise, everyone was still upset, and some even started crying.

Goodness, things had already returned to normal, but because one parent shed tears, everyone quickly turned to console her. It seemed as though shedding tears made her arguments valid, and now everyone refrained from saying anything, afraid of appearing too talkative.

The issue of buying electric cars was completely forgotten, but no one mentioned dissolving the Parent Committee either. Some people began to blame others, suggesting that any discontent should have been discussed privately rather than expressed ambiguously in the group.

Bettany sneered, and texted in the group without restraint, “What hard work? Is it hard work to brown-

nose? Is this what you’re teaching your children? How to take shortcuts? @Samson’s Grandma, instead of saying ‘certain individuals,’ why not mention me directly? Tomorrow, I’ll bring my phone and reason with the principal. Let’s see if this Parent Committee is even necessary.”

Everyone: Uh!!

That was quite a bold statement!

After finishing her work, Teacher Robin went for a run and treated herself to a dinner of black pepper spaghetti, hoping to relax. But when she checked her phone, her headache returned!

Damn it, this was getting ridiculous. Despite her repeated requests to stop the gift-giving, they still managed to create a collective class property!

Teacher Robin suggested, “Let’s disband the Parent Committee! I’ll inform parents of any important matters in the group. We don’t need a Parent Committee for our class. You’ve all worked hard enough!”

Teacher Robin then addressed Lilly’s father, “Let’s close the group discussion. Tonight, let’s all calm down.”

Blake responded, “Alright.”

Blake activated the group’s mute function.

Bettany looked puzzled.

Since when was Blake the group admin?

Sitting on the couch, Blake smirked, humbly saying, “I just took on the role today.”

This group was initially formed by parents, who then brought in the homeroom teacher for communication purposes. When Ms. Montague encountered trouble, the previous group admin panicked, providing Blake with an opportunity to seize control.

Bettany remained silent.

The next day, no one knew whether Lilly’s grandmother had gone to the principal with her phone. What the parents in the group did know was that their chat suddenly went viral!

Someone had taken screenshots of all their conversations and posted them on various short video platforms.

Peter’s mom and Isabella’s mom instantly became famous.

But the real star was Lilly’s grandmother.

Akina commented, “I bow down to you, Grandma.”

Orange said, “Grandma, you’re my hero!”

Dandelion exclaimed, “Grandma is my internet mouthpiece! Watching this is so satisfying!! (Excitedly crawling) (Biting in madness) (Leaving with a hand-bitten flower).”

Xixili stated, “People like Mrs. Szell are annoying. I’m so repulsed by such individuals. If you want to brown-nose, do it on your own; why drag others into it?”

One Shot suggested, “The Parent Committee has become a brown-nosing club. I don’t know the purpose of its existence. I propose abolishing Parent Committees nationwide. Those in favor, press 1;

those against, I’ll come to your door and gouge your eyeballs out.”

Lilly stared at the video on her phone, stunned.

Oh wow, Granny became famous?

She asked, “Who did this?”

Blake’s lips curled slightly as he replied, “I don’t know. Maybe it was a zealous community member!”

Lilly fell silent.

Why couldn’t she believe it?
