Chapter 523

Donovan had not expected this.

He opened his mouth to explain himself, but he could not get anything out.

Arielle snorted at his reaction.

Hearing that, Donovan was agitated.

He seemed to have lost his rationality.

Right at that moment, Henrick walked over in his mourning attire and asked, “Sannie, who do you have with you here?”

Before Arielle could answer, Donovan seized Henrick’s arm and questioned, “Sir, is this a real funeral?

Or are you putting up a show here?”

Henrick’s face turned ashen. “A show? My daughter passed away, and you think that I’m putting on a damn show?”

He had never spoken nicely to people who he did not need to please.

Donovan was stumped when he heard that.

Beside him, Marcus quickly pulled Donovan away and apologized, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Are you Arielle’s father? We’re her teachers from Jadeborough University. We came here to pay our respects to Arielle’s sister. This bouquet is for her.”

“Teachers from Jadeborough University???

Henrick gave them an accessing glance before he calmed down and replied, “Thank you for coming.

But, what’s wrong with this teacher? Why did he say that we’re acting?”

Donovan had already returned to his senses. He was in utter regret, but he was at a loss for words.

Marcus then explained, “Mr. Baxter had a misunderstanding. It was a mistake.” Hearing that, Donovan chimed in, “Yes. It was all a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?” Arielle was unwilling to let the matter pass just like that. She asked, “Mr. Baxter, have you ever treated me like a student? First, you wrongfully accused me of spilling water on Wendy in the classroom. The second time, you accused me of starting a fight. Now, you’re accusing me of lying about my family member passing away. Mr. Baxter, are you even qualified to be a teacher?”

Donovan’s expression turned grim.

Beside them, Henrick’s face fell.

“You… Is that how you’ve been treating Sannie? Do you want me to show my second daughter’s death certificate in order for you to approve Sannie’s leave?”

“N-No. That’s not what I mean,” Donovan stammered.

This was the first time he felt so helpless. He could only turn to Marcus for help.

However, the latter wished that he did not even know Donovan.

However, since Donovan was a teacher from his school, Marcus had no choice but to help him.

Apologetically, he explained, “I’m sorry, Mr. Southall. We’re in the wrong. I’ll make Mr. Baxter apologize to Arielle in front of the other students in the school tomorrow.”

Henrick waved his hand and said, “Forget about it. I don’t want to haggle over this at my daughter’s funeral. However, I don’t want to hear any prejudice against Arielle in the future. Also, I demand you compensate my daughter for the mental torture you put her through!”

It was the first time he was hearing about this.

If he knew about it earlier, he would have already asked for monetary compensation.

Donovan could sense the suspicious glances from the other guests there. He clenched his teeth before he asked, “How much do you want? I’ll pay you right now.”

Henrick replied, “A hundred grand!”
