Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Madam Rome Wants to Compete with Her in Power and Influence
The class president indignantly said, "Madam Rome, you were the one who slandered Miss Evans as a mistress and forced the principal to fire her. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Miss Evans didnât make things difficult for you, yet youâre unwilling to apologize?"
The students couldnât bear it any longer and began to raise their voices. Principal Hayekâs tone was unhappy, "Madam Rome, you were in the wrong. If you stubbornly refuse to apologize, it could have adverse effects on the Rome family, as well as on Larry Rome."
Xaviera Evansâ eyes flashed with impatience. Then, she stared intently at Madam Rome, her eyes tinged with a hint of red. Suddenly, Madam Romeâs body stiffened, and she lost consciousness momentarily. Her brain seemed to numb, and the words in her heart surged out like a flood. She yelled hoarsely, "Principal Hayek, if you had fired Xaviera Evans as I said, none of this wouldâve happened! And now you want me to apologize to her? Dream on!"
"I am the mistress of the Rome family. Why should I apologize to this temptress? Even if she didnât instigate this incident, she still seduced my son! I will not apologize! So what if I falsely accused you and slandered you? If you had obediently left the school, things wouldnât have gotten this big!"
"How dare you poor students point fingers at me? After you graduate, you might have to work at the Rome familyâs company. Youâre just offending me now, and youâll pay for it later!"
Madam Rome happily vented her true feelings, which she had not intended to reveal. Somehow, she had blurted them out, and she was somewhat surprised. But she didnât have time to think about it. Instead, she felt a sense of relief after speaking her mind.
Xaviera Evans smirked. So in Madam Romeâs eyes, she could use her power to oppress others. Thatâs why her son didnât respect others either, treating othersâ feelings and bodies as playthings and not caring about anyone else.
Alright then! Madam Rome wanted to compete with her in terms of power!
The entire audience, including the principal, looked gloomy and angry, glaring at Madam Rome.
This was Libanan University, one of the top ten universities in the country. They were all pillars of the nation, but now they were being looked down upon by such a rude woman, which was a huge insult to them.
Principal Hayekâs voice was cold, "Madam Rome, I order you to apologize to Miss Evans immediately! And to all the students! Otherwise, I will show you the real power of Libanan University!"
Madam Rome had a defiant expression, "Ha! Come on, then! Iâd like to see what you can do to me!"
Principal Hayek had never seen such an unreasonable person before. He sneered, "Madam Rome, we will sue you for defamation according to the legal procedure. You can wait to apologize to Xaviera Evans in court!"
As soon as he finished his words, the assistant hurriedly walked up to the principal and whispered, "Principal, Mr. Rome has arrived."
Immediately afterward, hurried footsteps came through the door. A round, middle-aged man appeared at the entrance, wiping sweat from his forehead. He quickly asked, "Which one of you is Miss Evans?"
Upon seeing her husband, Madam Romeâs eyes lit up, but her tone still carried a hint of complaint, "Husband, youâre finally here. These people are bullying me and our son! You have to stand up for me! Especially this Xaviera Evans, she even wants me to apologize to her. Sheâs just a lowly teacher, why should I apologize to her?"
"Husband, please persuade the principal to fire Xaviera Evans! She offended me, and I want to make it impossible for her to take a single step in Libanan! Kick her out of Libanan immediately. Iâm annoyed just seeing her, and this little temptress even seduced Larry, thinking she could marry into our Rome family!"
The students at the scene were filled with anger. This woman relied on her power to ruin an excellent teacherâs career and future. What gave her the right to decide other peopleâs fate?
Principal Hayekâs face was as dark as ink, and his eyes showed increasing anger. Not to mention Xaviera Evansâ background, she was an outstanding talent in her own right. She was the chief designer of Glaze, and her talent could inspire every student in the Design Department. From beginning to end, Xaviera Evans had done nothing wrong, and he had no reason to fire her.
He had been the principal for many years and had built many connections in Libanan. The Rome family was not among the top tier of upper-class society. Where did their confidence come from to think they could overshadow the others in Libanan?
Besides, Xaviera Evans had a powerful backer, Caleb Mamet. Who in Libanan could be more powerful than Caleb Mamet? Having offended Xaviera Evans, the Rome family wouldnât be able to act recklessly for long.
