Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: I Want to See the Principal
At this time, the principal was not in the office, and the assistant was sorting out documents by the side. When Madam Rome came in, the assistant enthusiastically received her and casually asked about her purpose for coming to the school.
Next thing the assistant heard was Madam Romeâs sharp, angry voice: "Your schoolâs teacher, Xaviera Evans, is flirting with my son!"
Assistant: "???" Oh my god! Did I hear that right?
Madam Rome did not notice the assistantâs peculiar expression and continued to yell: "My son has been engaged for a long time, and I canât let him be ruined by such a temptress! I want to see the principal to get Xaviera Evans fired! How can such a person be a teacher? The students she teaches must also only know how to seduce men!"
Assistantâs face was full of speechlessness, showing a contemptuous expression. Where did this woman get her confidence from? How could she think Xaviera would like her stupid son?
He controlled his facial expression and tried to make his tone as calm as possible: "Madam Rome, itâs allowed for students to be in love in college. Your son, Larry Rome, is already an adult. The school has no control over whom he chooses to pursue. If you disagree, you should discuss this with your son at home, not make a scene at school."
His point was clear. If you donât want your son to be in love, restrict him yourself instead of causing trouble for others!
Moreover, Miss Evans is not an ordinary person; sheâs the wife of Caleb Mamet! Obviously, it was your son who harassed her, but you still have the audacity to demand that the school fire her?
Thereâs a brief silence, and the assistant reminds, "Madam Rome, Miss Evans actually already has... a boyfriend."
He didnât reveal that Xaviera was married, just wanted to tell Madam Rome that Xaviera already had a partner and wouldnât be interested in Larry Rome. He then continued: "Also, I remember Mr. Rome is an exchange student who just returned to school today. Miss Evans couldnât possibly know him, so is there a misunderstanding? Why donât you go home and ask Mr. Rome first? Besides, the school has no right to interfere with studentsâ love affairs and cannot fire an excellent teacher based on an unfounded rumor."
The assistant thought he made himself very clear. He wanted to let Madam Rome know she was just being unreasonable and hope she left the principalâs office.
Madam Rome knew that simply because of a love affair, the school couldnât directly fire Xaviera Evans. However, she was the mistress of the Rome family. It would be effortless for her to ask for the dismissal of a college teacher. Would the principal risk offending the Rome family for Xaviera?
So Madam Rome didnât listen to the assistantâs words at all; she stubbornly insisted, "I want to see the principal, and Xaviera Evans must be fired!"
The assistantâs face immediately darkened, and his tone became cold, completely losing his previous gentle attitude: "Madam Rome, the school is not owned by your family. You canât just say who should be fired and expect it to happen!"
Madam Rome disdainfully glanced at him, "You are just a little assistant, and itâs not your turn to criticize me. I want to talk to the principal!"
"Madam Rome, it wonât help even if you find the principal. He wonât fire Miss Evans based on a groundless rumor. Since your family strictly forbids Mr. Rome from being in a relationship, please control your son!"
The assistantâs words immediately set off Madam Rome. She abruptly stood up, her face flushed with anger. Trembling with rage, she roared, "How dare you talk to me like this? Just you wait! Iâll make you pay!"
"Xaviera Evans might be an excellent teacher, but sheâs a temptress who only knows how to seduce men! She must have found out about our wealthy family and wants to marry into it. It seems youâve also been seduced by that woman. Thatâs why youâre speaking up for her and not letting me see the principal!"
"Watch your words! Please leave immediately!" the assistant frowned.
Madam Rome probably didnât expect even an assistant would treat her so impolitely, let alone ask her to leave. She stomped her feet in anger, "Fine! When the catâs away, the mouse will play. Youâre just a small assistant, and you dare to talk to me like this. Iâll be back tomorrow. I wonât give up until I see the principal!"
With that, she picked up her designer bag and stormed out.
In fact, Xaviera didnât take this matter seriously. However, in just one day, the rumor had spread like wildfire. Everyone was talking about how Larry Rome had performed very well as an exchange student abroad. Libanan University happened to have a quota for a direct admission to a top-five international school, but now Larry Rome refused it just to be with Xaviera.
