Chapter 140 Transferring Class

“Aunt Josephine, it’s almost time for class. Why don’t you take Wade to his classroom first?” Scarlett persuaded Josephine after the latter calmed down.

Josephine and Scarlett looked at each other for a while. After that, Josephine nodded and gathered her thoughts. She took Wade’s hand and said, “Honey, let me take you to your classroom first.”

Wade glared at Josephine, shook off her hand, and jogged out of the office.

Josephine’s expression stiffened. She then smiled, nodded to the other teachers in the office, and chased after Wade.

After the two left, the tension in the office atmosphere eased greatly.

When she looked at Lexie’s cold expression, Scarlett smiled kindly. She said, “Ms. Anderson, I’m Wade’s cousin. My name is Scarlett! I’m sorry, but my aunt has a bad temper. However, she’s a nice person. Please don’t take what she said just now to heart. She was just anxious.”

Lexie’s expression softened a little after she saw that Scarlett was polite. The former paused and said, “Can she say all that just because she’s anxious? I’m saying this with a conscience. I have not let down my job as a teacher and didn’t fail any of my students. Everything that Mrs. Jordan said hurts me.”

“You’re right, Ms. Anderson. I will talk to my aunt when I go back. I hope you’ll calm down. Don’t bother yourself with her!” Scarlett chimed in.

Lexie was shrewd, so she knew that Wade had an impressive family background. In fact, more often than not, she took good care of Wade. She could not be blamed at all for his poor performance in this exam. If it were not for what Josephine had said earlier, she would not have clashed head-on with the former.

Since Scarlett had said so, Lexie knew she should stop pursuing the matter too.

A faint smile appeared on Lexie’s face. She said, “I can’t stand being blamed for something I didn’t do. I was a little hot-tempered just now, but since we’ve cleared the air, everything’s fine now!”

“You’re right, Ms. Anderson!” Scarlett nodded with a smile.

When she saw that she had calmed Lexie down, Scarlett went around the office to apologize to the other teachers and left.

When the bell rang, Yuliana and Fiona headed to their classrooms with textbooks.

Fiona asked in a low voice, “Ms. Livingstone, is that student’s cousin the one we met last time when we were out shopping?”

When Scarlett entered the office, Fiona recognized her. However, when she saw neither Yuliana nor Scarlett react, she was unsure. She thought she had gotten the wrong person.

Yuliana nodded and softly hummed in response.

Fiona tutted. “What ill fate is this? Of all people, she turns out to be the cousin of Ms. Anderson’s student.” They did not continue the topic. As Fiona and Yuliana headed upstairs, they saw Scarlett and Josephine coming down.

Both sides only smiled and nodded without saying anything.

At lunchtime, Yuliana heard from Fiona that Wade’s mother, Josephine, had gone to the principal. She said that Lexie’s teaching method was unsuitable for Wade and wanted to change a class for him.

Fiona said, “Who would dare to take Wade in as their student?”

If another teacher accepted Wade as their student, it would be embarrassing for Lexie.

They still needed to maintain their relationship as colleagues.

Yuliana furrowed her brows and asked, “What did the principal say?”

Fiona shrugged and said, “It is said that the parent even called the education department. The student has an influential family background. What can the principal do? He can only transfer Wade to another class, but for the time being, I don’t know which class he will be transferred to.”

After a pause, Fiona suddenly glanced at Yuliana and said, “Ms. Livingstone, I remember that you still have a place in your class, right?”

There was a fixed number of 50 students in each class. However, a student in Yuliana’s class emigrated abroad with his family shortly after the beginning of the semester. Hence, there was one empty spot.

Of course, in all the six classes of the fourth grade, Yuliana’s class was not the only one with an empty spot.

After she heard what Fiona said, Yuliana’s hand that was holding the fork froze. Suddenly, she lost her appetite.

The following morning, the principal called Yuliana to the office to have a talk. It meant that Wade would be transferred to her Class Six. The other teacher, her partner, had agreed to the transfer. However, Yuliana’s approval was needed since she was the head teacher of the fourth grade.

By saying so, the principal did not give Yuliana a chance to reject it. After all, her partner had agreed to it. It would be unreasonable if she refused to accept Wade’s transfer.

Moreover, judging by the principal’s tone, it did not sound like he wanted to discuss the matter with Yuliana. It was apparent that he had made a decision.

When he saw that Yuliana did not nod after some time, the principal said, “Ms. Livingstone, I have no choice. The student’s parent wants the child to be transferred to your class. Otherwise, she will continue to cause

trouble.”

Back then, Josephine used a lot of her connections. That was why Wade could transfer to Juxshire Primary School. If the truth of such a gray area matters were revealed, in the end, the school would be in trouble.

Yuliana knew there was no room for discussion, so she could only nod and agree.

At noon that day, Wade’s mother, Josephine, came to school again. This time, she bought a lot of fruits and a gift box. She placed them all on Yuliana’s table.

Several other teachers were in the office.

Yuliana didn’t have to look to know Lexie’s expression had darkened.

“Ms. Livingstone, I’m counting on you to teach my son from now on!” Josephine smiled kindly at Yuliana and continued, “I bought a small gift. I hope you’ll like it, Ms. Livingstone.”

Of course, Yuliana would not accept the gift and fruits. It took her a lot of time to send Josephine away.

In the afternoon, Wade transferred from Lexie’s Class Two to Yuliana’s Class Six.

For the following days, Lexie did not smile at Yuliana. Every time she saw the latter, she would put on a grim face. Whenever they exchanged a few words, there was a sting in Lexie’s words.

On Friday, as soon as Yuliana got off work and arrived at the entrance of her house, she saw Christopher pushing a small suitcase and standing in the corridor. There was a cigarette in his mouth.

He was casually scrolling on his phone.

When he heard the sound of the elevator, Christopher looked up. He glanced at Yuliana and lowered his eyes to look at the phone screen again.

Yuliana took the key, opened the door, and went in. She did not close the door and went straight back to her room. She changed her clothes’ and came out. By then, Christopher had already moved from the corridor to the sofa. His suitcase was casually tossed beside the shoe cabinet.

Yuliana and Christopher ignored each other and did their own things.

Christopher lay on the sofa and continued playing his game. The sound effects of the game were loud.

Yuliana took cardboard boxes and began sorting the things in the living room. After that, she categorized them and put the stuff into the boxes. She then made remarks on the outside of the boxes with a black pen. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

An hour later, several packed cardboard boxes were piled up in the living room.

The space was too small, so it was inconvenient for them to walk as the boxes were in the way. Yuliana wanted to move them to the side. It was easy for her to move the first two boxes. However, when it came to the third box, it was too heavy for her to move. She looked at the remarks and realized the box was full of books.

Yuliana straightened up and rested for a moment. Just as she was about to drag the box again, she saw a pair of arms appearing in her sight. Following that, she saw the box being lifted easily.

She was stunned for a brief second. She looked up and saw Christopher looking down at her.

His thin lips moved. His voice was cold as he asked, “Where do you want to put this?”
