My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 550

One student could not help but ask, "Are you really Professor Hancock?"

Seeing the expectant look in the students' eyes, Declan smiled and nodded to them, looking friendly.

They were all surprised by how approachable Declan was. He looked like a very ordinary old man.

No wonder that Mr.Kennedy and Ms. Thompson spewed vitriol at him.

Ms. Thompson's and Mr.Kennedy's faces changed, as they did not expect that this old man who seemingly came out of nowhere turned out to be the famous Professor Hancock.

Ms. Thompson asked cautiously, "B-But what are you doing here in our school, Professor Hancock?"

Mr. Ellison turned to glance at Nicole and then said coldly to the two of them, "To meet Nicole, who has gotten a full score on the Math Olympiad questions that Professor Hancock has come up with." 'That explains it now!' Mr. Ellison looked at the two, who had suddenly become silent, with an icy look on his face.

"What did you just say? I've obstructed you from dealing with Nicole, haven't I?"

Ms. Thompson and Mr.Kennedy choked. They looked at the seemingly angry Mr. Ellison and put on a smile.

"We just think that, judging by Nicole's past performance, she couldn't have gotten a full score in Professor Hancock's papers, not to mention Austin and a few others who have entered the top five. Don't forget that their results used to be outrageously poor. Isn't it strange that they can do so well in the exam after just half a month?"

Seeing that they were so stubbornly slandering Nicole, a frosty light flashed across Mr. Ellison's eyes.

"You have failed to perform as a good teacher, yet couldn't accept it when Austin and others have improved, thinking that they have cheated, unaware how much effort they had put in. People like you don't deserve to become a teacher."

Declan nodded in agreement. He did not want to get involved in the internal affair of the Royal Creek Institute.

The way Ms. Thompson and Mr.Kennedy spoke to Declan when he came in was enough for Mr. Ellison to see their true faces.

Ms. Thompson and Mr.Kennedy were so frightened that they were almost tearful.

They knew what Mr. Ellison meant-he was going to fire them.

In desperation, Ms. Thompson turned to Ms. Emerson for help.

"Please put in a good word for me. You know how much I take care of students; I have just made a minor mistake and don't deserve to be fired."

Ms.Emerson looked at the two of them and thought of how many times they had exploited and bullied her.

"You have no authority to make the school rules or to have people at your mercy. Have you forgotten the time when you stole the excellent teacher award from me? What exactly did my students and I do wrong that you wanted to target us this way? Nicole, she has just gotten good grades and made the school proud, and you two keep smearing her. What about the other people who are in your way? Now it's too late to say you've just made a minor mistake."

Mr.Kennedy looked at Ms.Emerson's face, so angry that he could not talk coherently.

"Nonsense! When did I steal your excellent teacher award? This year's excellent teacher award hasn't yet been announced."

Ms.Emerson retorted, saying, "Really? Ms. Thompson has gotten the documents ready on the desk and is ready for submission. You must be thrilled with the result that you bribed her to get."

Ms. Thompson's and Mr.Kennedy's faces turned pale instantly.

They almost did not dare to turn their heads to look at Mr. Ellison's expression behind them. Mr.Kennedy yelled at Ms. Emerson.

"Don't frame me for this! What you've said is all nonsense! Do you have proof to show that I've bribed Ms. Thompson?"

Ms.Emerson sneered.

"Shortly after the start of school, you entered her room with a handful of women's luxury goods. She is now wearing the high heels that you have given her." Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.

Mr.Kennedy and Ms. Thompson hardly dared to say anything to refute the accusation.

Ms. Thompson's monthly salary as a head of teaching staff was not particularly high, at least not to the point of affording luxury goods.

But what she wore every day now had indeed exceeded her income level. It was only possible if she received bribes from her subordinates.
