Teaching them a lesson
After a few seconds, she said, “I’m sorry, Sir, but I can’t do as I’ve just been told. Now, you need to leave my office-right away-you and your family.”
“What?!?!” Both husband and wife were enraged.
They couldn’t believe their ears.
In annoyance, they rose to their feet at once.
“You… I’ll make sure I ruin you. I’ll sue you and sue this school. I won’t stop until I see you hit the rock bottom!”
“Also, all the money my wife and I have spent on this damn school, I want everything returned-every dime! You ingrate!”
“I promise you, by the time I’m done with you, you’ll come crawling back on your knees-by then, it’ll be too late.”
With all of that said, Minister Lewis stormed out of the office. Madam Lewis and her daughter remained behind.
With fire blazing in them, Madam Lewis ran her eyes over the woman at the side of the desk. “Like my husband said, every penny we spent here must be refunded. Be ready for what’s coming as you’ll be hearing from us soonest.”
“Let’s go, Vicky.”
Then the mother and daughter also barhed out of the principal’s office.
After the family of three had left, Mrs. Babington didn’t waste time at all and hastily picked up her phone from the desk.
She pressed it hard on her ear and spoke into the mouthpiece with utmost respect and formality. “They’ve left, Sir.”
She was using both hands to hold the phone in place, breaking out in cold sweats.
Unknown to Minister Lewis and his family, Mrs. Babington wasn’t the only one that was listening to them while they were ranting.
Mrs. Babington had secretly placed a call through to someone, before her conversations with them started, earlier on.
“Thank you. I’ll take it from here. Also, Mrs. Babington, issues like this…”
Although the man’s voice trailed off, Mrs Babington knew what he was talking about.
“It won’t happen again, I promise. I swear, something like that will never happen again in this school.” She quickly replied.
“Good.”
Beep.
After the call ended, the principal’s body went limp and she slouched into her chair, heaving a series of sighs.
Just how the personal assistant of the CEO of Beats Corporations got to know about the issue, she had no idea.
Well, there was nothing people like them had interest in that they wouldn’t find out.
Wait, did that mean that the CEO himself was also aware?
Mrs. Babington scrunched up her face bitterly.
Although Minister Lewis wasn’t one to be joked with, compared to these other people, he was nothing.
It was better to offend the rotten man than to get on the bad side of Assistant Lucas.
Sigh.
Thank goodness he’d contacted her directly and not the higher ups, or she’d have been done here.
His warning… she’d take it seriously or else, any more mistakes, and she’d be really done.

As soon as Lucas hung up the call, he turned to face the Big Boss.
All those while, the phone had been on speaker and Shawn also heard the entire conversations that transpired on the other side of the phone.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The aloof man seated behind his desk signed the paperwork that was lying before him and slowly lifted his gaze from it.
He pressed his lips together and Lucas bobbed his head immediately.
He removed the file in front of the CEO and briskly walked out of the office.
He was to get to work immediately.

The following day:
After they dropped their daughter home the previous day, Minister Lewis and his wife assured the girl that she’d be going back to school the following day, which was today.
They were totally convinced that the threat on Mrs. Babington would make her succumb to their wants.
The woman definitely wouldn’t dare face their wrath. That, they were sure of.
So, they knew that before nightfall, she’d place a call through to them, apologize for being rude towards them, and also inform them that Vicky could return to school the following day.
After being reassured by her parents, Vicky simply kicked off her shoes, took off her school uniform, and went ahead to play video games all day long.
She was sure things would turn out the way her parents expected.
Minister Lewis and his wife on the other hand, headed out of the house and went their different ways. They were both relaxed and sure that everything would go according to their plans.
Shockingly, throughout that day, they neither received a call from the lousy principal, nor did they receive any message from her.
After they couple returned home late at night, they confirmed with each other that she didn’t reach out to either of them.
They were furious.
What was the woman trying to do?
Did that mean that she was serious about everything she’d blabbered about in the morning?
If that was the case, that school wouldn’t live to see daylight tomorrow.
Minister Lee vowed to ensure that the school crumbled.
If his daughter would no longer attend there, there was no use of it still being in existence.
Immediately, the man placed some calls and pulled some strings to get the ball rolling.
Afterwards, the family of three went to bed happily. They were sure that they’d wake up to pleasant news the following morning, which was today.
*But would that be the case?*
As soon as five struck in the morning, Minister Lee and his wife were woken up by numerous incoming calls on their phones, all of which carried unpleasant news.
And those calls were what signalled the start of the worst day of their lives.
Madam Lee was the first to receive bad news.
“What did you say?” Her eyes flung open at once and she immediately sat upright on the bed.
Initially, she didn’t want to pick the call but it was from her manager…
They were expecting some expensive goods and he was probably calling to tell her that the goods had arrived.
But when she picked the call and heard the words that came out of his mouth, her whole world crumbled.
Her goods, worth billions, had been lost at sea.
“All the ships capsized and caught fire?” She asked blankly.
Her manager replied affirmatively.
How was that possible?
That could not be possible.
Madam Lewis was beginning to run mad.
But little did she know that that wasn’t all.
