Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit - Chapter 671

Chapter 671: Chapter 667: The evildoer will definitely face karmic retribution

Anderson Kirby and several students involved in the bullying were trembling behind their parents.

The parents of bullying victims were particularly agitated, demanding an explanation from these parents and students, and asking the principal to stand up for the students.

During the video playback of Timmy and Timothy, these parents were merely standing in sympathy with the brothers and Richelle Dunn.

But now, they have joined forces with Richelle and are allies in the fight against bullying.

Mrs. Kirby and the parents of some other students were surrounded by a group of people. Amidst the clamour, their faces turned pale, no longer showing the arrogance and momentum they had yesterday.

Seeing that the emotions of the parents had been stirred up to a climax, the principal clapped his hands to signal for everyone to calm down.

“Parents, the fight that happened among our students yesterday had a very negative impact. Upon investigation, it seemed as though Timmy Lewis and Timothy Dunn were the aggressors. However, they were actually defending themselves against bullying. In this regard, I, on behalf of the school, declare that there was no wrongdoing on the part of Timmy and Timothy. Although we do not advocate violence, when confronted with bullying, we hope that students will bravely stand up like Timmy Lewis and Timothy Dunn to defend their dignity.”

“As for the other three students, they slandered their classmates’ parents maliciously, intentionally alienated and targeted their classmates, therefore, they deserved what was coming for them. According to the school regulations, first-time offenders are usually given a demerit as a punishment. As you might have noticed, since the beginning of the semester in May, they have been continuously intimidating and bullying different students to various degrees, hence, they are habitual offenders.”

“Now, I’ll let the parents decide how to handle these students through a voting system. If more than half of the votes go for a particular choice, the school will follow that decision. Option A, the students are punished according to school rules, apologize to the victims, and get a demerit; Option B, the students apologize to the victims and are expelled from school, never to be readmitted, from the advanced class to university. Regardless of which option the parents choose, the school will record these students’ abhorrent behavior in their academic records.”

If the principal’s first two options gave Mrs. Kirby and some other parents a glimmer of hope, his additional remark was like a sledgehammer to them.

Mrs. Kirby was the first one to rush out, she knelt down in front of the podium with a cry in her voice.

“Principal, please, my son Anderson Kirby has such a high IQ, if this incident gets recorded in his academic record, it will ruin his future!”

With a stern expression, the principal replied, “Mrs. Kirby, did you think before you spoke? So, in order for your son’s life not to be ruined, should we allow him to ruin many others’ lives? Right now, he is surrounded by children with the same intelligence as him, and he is still so unrestrained. If we put him among ordinary children, it would be as if he was attacking with a superior vantage point. If this incident doesn’t teach him a lesson, in the future, he will ruin more ordinary children’s lives, and you will end up sending him to prison yourself!”

The principal, now in his fifties, has been in education for more than thirty years. He has seen far too many children who ended up spiralling down due to their parents’ indulgence.

“Mrs. Kirby, no matter how harsh or cruel the outcome of today is, I hope that you parents and students can gladly accept it and seriously reflect on it. If you make a wrong turn, correct it, there is still a bright future ahead!”

Seeing that the principal would not back down, Mrs. Kirby stood up in a huff, glaring at Richelle and her children with malice in her eyes.

Richelle Dunn met her gaze fearlessly, her eyes determined and sharp.

The principal announced that each student and their parents would have ten minutes to discuss, after which an anonymous vote would be held.

After Mrs. Kirby’s plea for mercy was rejected by the principal, the others no longer made futile attempts. They sat in silence at the very corner of the classroom, waiting for the verdict from the twenty-plus pairs of parents and students on their children’s fate.

The result was already evident.

However, until the final results were announced, they still held on to a glimmer of hope.

Soon, the ten minutes passed.

But for the bullying students and their parents, these ten minutes felt incredibly long.

It was like they had a noose around their neck, standing on a stool, not knowing whether it would be kicked away or not.

“Alright, parents. Please use the slips of paper we have distributed to fill in your voting options. Remember, each family gets one voting opportunity, so please discuss with your children before casting your vote.”

Richelle raised her hand, “Principal, may I ask, since I have three children, would we get three votes?”

The principal nodded, “Of course, Dr. Dunn, you are representing the parents of Timmy Lewis, Timothy Dunn, and Tifanny Dunn separately, so you would have three votes.”

The faces of Mrs. Kirby and the other offending students’ parents turned pale.

This meant, they instantly lost three out of twenty-seven chances!
