Chapter 1649


    Ruth felt embarrassed.


    “What nonsense are you talking about, Ms. Campbell? We’ve counted all the votes here in front of


    everyone. Are you implying it’s rigged? Are you suggesting I did that?!”


    “I wouldn’t dare say it’s you, ma’am!” Maeve was sarcastic. “But the vote difference is too much. I won’t


    believe it, no matter what! You didn’t rig it, but maybe someone petty pulled a trick?”


    “You…”

    Ruth was seething with rage. She was never good at dealing with troublemakers like her.


    “Ms. Campbell, you’ll have to face the consequences of your words.” Maisie stood up, her tone calm as


    she looked at her. “I’d like to think I’ve never offended you in any way. The voting is public and


    transparent. If I were to manipte the votes, how could I do it with everyone watching?”


    Maeve red at her.


    Maisie was typically quiet, so everyone thought she was a pushover. However, what she said was


    valid. She wouldn’t give in when faced with a predicament. That’s why they respected her.


    Daniel was standing at the door with a proud smile. He had been observing the situation in the meeting


    room.


    He was ted to see Maisie’s votes in the lead. It had surprised his subordinates.


    “Ms. Maisie has really stepped up,” one of his subordinates remarked, smiling. “She’s… different now.”


    Daniel smirked. Perhaps she had never changed from the beginning. It was just that she was too


    cautious when they were together, which had subdued her personality.


    “Mr. Quimby, what should we do about Maeve?” someone asked.


    “Calm down,” Daniel replied confidently. “She’ll experience the consequences of her actions.”Books

    An intense argument broke out as soon as he said that.


    “I’ll report to the education bureau and request an investigation into the votes!” Maeve adamantly


    dered.


    “I just can’t believe a novice with only a few years of teaching experience and her own way of teaching.


    Teaching has always been about one’s experience and years of dedication! The votes aren’t rigged, my


    ass!”


    “Ms. Campbell!” Ruth said fiercely, “I can terminate your contract if you continue with this nonsense!”


    “Hah! Trying to threaten me?” Maeve gritted her teeth. “Don’t think I’m oblivious to your junior…


    courting Ms. Squire, am I right?”


    “What are you insinuating?”


    “What wouldn’t a man do to make his woman smile?!”


    Ruth’s eyes widened, her hands trembling.


    “Who can’t see Mr. Quimby’s intentions?” Maeve continued. “He’s had his eye on her since the first day


    he came to the school! I’m sure he contributed to the voting this time. It seems one has an advantage if


    they’re young and attractive! She can rely on men when she can’t rely on herself!”


    “Ms. Campbell, I’ve always respected you as a veteran in the industry, but mind your words!” Maisie


    looked serious. “I was voted for my abilities and the effort I put into the kids. I’ve never depended on


    anyone! I respect you, so please respect yourself. What you’re saying isn’t befitting of a teacher!”


    “Haha!” Maeveughed hysterically. “So what’s appropriate for a teacher? Should we do what you did,


    get engaged to the Bayers’ heir while flirting with a wealthy, older man? Ms. Squire, was your


    engagement called off due to your ambiguous rtionship with Mr. Quimby?”


    “You—”


    “Shut your trap if you can’t behave!” A stern voice suddenly came from the door.
