Chapter 101

As Amber shivered in rage and showed her anger, Tessa remained calm and said, “Silas deserved what was coming to him, but you? Who are you to lecture me? My grandmother? Speaking of that, I guess you might have forgotten the fact that you drove my mom away from home and told me and my brother to forget about you as our grandma! So, why are you trying to boss us around here now? You were the reason Silas cheated on his wife. Because of you, he took our only home away and let us go hungry without qualms at all! A few years ago, my brother needed money to treat his legs, but you all turned us away! Now that Timothy has successfully created some revolutionary invention that could possibly bring him a huge fortune, you guys try to kidnap him back home because he seems useful to you all now! Where is your sense of shame?! I’m telling you now! I don’t care whether it’s you or anyone else, but Silas is going to spend his days behind bars, like it or not. If you mess with me again, I’ll be sure to have you locked up in a cell too, and I swear I mean it.”

Tessa angrily refuted the old lady, talking back with words like blades that cut through the skin.

In the meantime, Amber was rendered tongue-tied when she heard Tessa’s words, finding herself on the brink of her sanity. She then pointed at Tessa’s face with her shivering fingers.

“Y-You! You wh*re! You’re an animal! You heartlessly sent your father to jail, and now you have no respect for your grandmother at all!”

After that, Amber turned her attention to the principal. “Do you see that, Sir? Anyone with conscience and manners would show some respect to their grandmother! So, I’m giving you two choices now! You either expel Timothy from your institute, or I will stay here and make sure everyone knows what kind of students your school educates. I’m going to involve the reporters and have them explore the hidden culture in your school!”

When the principal heard that his face darkened. Judging from the conversation he just heard, he could tell that it was the people from the Reinhart Family who had wronged Tessa and Timothy in the first place. Thus, he couldn’t help but disapprove of Amber for her shamelessly mean attitude toward Timothy, who was considered an outstanding student in the school. Nonetheless, when he heard Amber’s threat, his face turned cold shortly before he sternly gave the old lady a stern warning.

“You came to our school and stirred up trouble, and you should be grateful that I’m not holding you responsible for that, old lady! But now, you’re threatening me! If you don’t put a stop to what you’re doing, I’m going to call the cops right away!” Then, he shifted his eyes to Timothy and said, “Besides, Timothy is an outstanding student here, but the Reinharts failed to treasure his potential back then. So what right do you have to treat him like this now?”

Amber didn’t expect to be lectured by the principal, feeling speechlessly exasperated. “I guess I finally understand why the students from your school are so rude and disrespectful. It’s all because they have a principal who sets a bad example for them like you! Good! Aren’t you worried that I’ll bring this up to the minister of education?! Let me tell you something. The Reinhart Family has a wide network of connections, so when this matter escalates, you can kiss your position goodbye as the principal of the…”

Noticing Amber’s unreasonable attitude, Tessa couldn’t help but feel disgusted. After all, she knew that escalating the matter wouldn’t do Timothy any good. It’d only create more trouble for the school instead.

Thus, she clenched her jaw for a moment and said, “Do you really want me to get Silos out of jail?

Fine, I can do that, but on one condition-give me back our place at Maple Hill Condominium. Besides, want all my mom’s dowry back when she married into the Reinhart Family. Otherwise, I’ll call the cops and let them be the judge of who’s right and wrong!”

Sophia’s anger surged through when she heard Tessa’s words. She then screeched at the latter, “Forget about your pipe dream, Tessa! That house belongs to the Reinharts, so who are you to demand it? Furthermore, your mother was broke when she married into the Reinhart Family, so what dowry are you talking about? Have some sense of shame, would you?”

Tessa sarcastically chuckled and replied, “Keep telling that yourself! When my mom married into the Reinhart Family, she had a red jewel worth about five to six million, but your mistress mother took it and claimed it as her own, not to mention the Reinhart Group that was rightfully my mom’s. Speaking of that, both of you also took my mother’s shares like they were yours from the start.”
