Chapter 467 Offending the Wrong Person
“Feel free to bring my parents here. But | think you should let his parentse here as well,’ Matthew
said indifferently, ring at Jonas.
Since Mr. Frye was there, Jonas became bolder as someone was backing him up. “You’ll be expelled!”
He said, raising his chin to Matthew.
Matthew sneered and dialed Wayne’s number. After exining what was happening to him, he urged
Wayne to hurry and added, “Don’t forget to bring Tammy’s clothes.”
“Got it,” Wayne said, and he sounded even more enraged than Matthew. As he hung up the phone,
Matthew couldn’t help butugh.
“Are you all savages? Take a look at the bruising on my son’s face!” Jonas’ mother shouted.
It had been an hour and a half since the end of the school day. Jonas’ mother, a middle-aged woman in
heavy makeup, pped the desk inside Mr. Frye’s office. As she spoke, her mouth opened wide, and
her shrill voice echoed throughout the room. Standing beside her, Jonas lowered his head and acted as
if he were the victim.
After hearing this, Matthew couldn’t help but look him over. Because Matthew hadn’t hit Jonas hard
enough earlier, he only had a few bruises on his face. Matthew would have kicked Jonas a few more
times if he had known what would happenter.
After realizing Matthew had a dismissive attitude, Jonas’ mom roared 466 Offending the Wrong Person
more angrily, “You’re going to be kicked out! You’ve ruined the reputation of the school!”

“Jonas started it!” Tammy said. She hade to her senses by then. A puddle of water was forming at
her feet, and her hair was dripping wet. She looked a mess, but she stood firm in defense of her
brother.
Jonas’ mom didn’t take Tammy seriously. She raised her head with contempt and crossed her arms
over her chest slowly. She asked, “You must be Tammy, right? Now, almost everyone in town is
ming you and your shameless mother. I’m surprised that you still have the nerve toe to school!”
Tammy took a step back before the woman could say anything more venomous. Her hands clenched
into fists, and her entire body trembled. She couldn’t take any more of the scathing remarks.
Seeing that, Matthew approached Tammy and hugged her tightly tofort her. The woman smiled
triumphantly at the sight of her pitiful appearance. She was about to say something else when she
heard a loud bang at the door.
Someone mmed the office door open. Immediately after that, a dozen men in suits and ties entered
the office, the man in the front, carrying a bucket of water. He poured water on Jonas before anyone
could react.
Secondster, the woman’s high heels were also soaked in the water. Her eyes widened in surprise as
she asked, “Who the hell are you?! What do you want?”
The crowd spread out on either side, leaving a path in the middle. Wayne strolled from the back of the
crowd, and he looked condescending “You were looking for me?” Wayne ignored the screaming
woman and approached Mr. Frye, who was sitting at his desk drinking tea 466 Offending the Wrong
Person
Mr. Frye’s eyes widened in surprise, and he spat back into his teacup the mouthful of tea he had just
taken. He was taken aback by the scene and needed a few moments to recover hisposure. “Are
you Tammy’s father?” He asked, setting his teacup down and wiping his mouth with his cuff.
“Yes, I’m her father. What’s wrong?” Wayne answered indifferently.
Mr. Frye wiped the sweat from his brow and exined, “Tammy’s brother punched a student, and he
refused to apologize to him. It’s a very serious matter, so | thought I should let you know about it.”
Wayne nodded. He handed Tammy the clothes he had just bought at the mall and sat on the couch. “I
want to hear what you think about this incident,” He said sternly after Tammy left the office.
Mr. Frye pushed the frame of his sses and said as calmly as he could, “Tammy and Jonas got into
an argument today at the end of school. To be honest, Jonas had a slight advantage. Then Tammy’s
brother came over and beat up Jonas for no apparent reason. See, Jonas’s still got visible bruises on
him.”
Wayne nced at Jonas, who couldn’t raise his head after being doused with another bucket of water.
“What do you think we should do about this?” Wayne asked, nodding.
Mr. Frye pushed his sses frames once more. Realizing that Wayne seemed kind, Mr. Frye
straightened up a little more than before and said, “Tammy’s brother should apologize to Jonas and
bring him to the hospital for a check-up. Nobody will ever bring it up again in the future in this, way.”
Wayne nodded once more. Mr. Frye then instantly smiled. But Wayne followed up with, “And what if |
don’t agree to your request?”
“I’m sorry, but Tammy will have to leave the school. As you are aware, 466 Offending the Wrong
Person it’s the best high school in the entire city. I’m afraid that no school would ept Tammy if she is
expelled from here.”
Hearing that, Wayne stood up, straightened his shirt, and said, “Okay. Tammy will go to a different
school.”
Mr. Frye looked at him nkly because he didn’t understand what he was saying.
“By the way, you’re Jonas’ uncle, right?” Wayne asked as he came toa halt in the doorway.
“What do you mean?” Mr. Frye asked warily.
“Nothing, I’m just curious. | just wanted to remind you that you will be fired from school for malpractice.”
He then pointed to Jonas and said, “And you! If my daughter wants to go to school, | can even build
one for her. I’m Wayne Wright, and everyone in town knows my name. I’m confident that no school
here will dare to admit you from now on.”
Mr. Frye was taken aback and muttered, “Wayne Wright?”
“Yes, that’s the man you’re thinking of,” Matthew said as he walked away.
“Don’t leave! Let’s talk about it, shall we? We had absolutely no idea Tammy was Mr. Wright’s daughter.
I’m sorry, | can apologize to you.” To prevent Matthew from leaving, Jonas’ mother grabbed his arm.
Matthew paused for a moment before responding, “I’ll have to check with Tammy to see if she’ll agree.
She’s the most precious person in my family, you know.”
Mr. Frye copsed to the ground in shock after realizing he had offended the wrong person.
Tammy had just stepped through the school gates the next day when 466 Offending the Wrong Person
she noticed a crowd gathered in the square. She fought her way through the crowd, surprised to see
Jonas in the middle.
“Tammy, I’m sorry!” Jonas eximed as he stood beneath the gpole. He appeared hesitant and was
obviously forced to say so. The more people who were watching him, the redder his face became.
Ignoring him, Tammy went straight to the ssroom because she was bummed. She had just sat down
in ss when Ruby approached her and said, “Jonas has admitted defeatpletely. And | heard that
he is going to another ss. He refused to go downstairs this morning, but his mother force him to do
so. | heard that he is about to read his apology letter to you in public at the morning meeting next
Monday.”
“How do you know?” Tammy asked, surprised.
“The principal and the headteacher both told us about it this morning. Mr. Frye yelled at Jonas and
made him cry. Jonas was scared about leaving our ss, but he had no choice.”
Ruby was thrilled about the whole thing. She was worried when she got home yesterday and assumed
Tammy would be expelled. She hadn’t expected to see the principale in with Mr. Frye and Jonas’s
mother this morning
Hearing Ruby’s words, Tammy suddenly thought of something. Last night, she still slept in Matthew’s
room. When she awoke in the middle of the night, she noticed that Matthew’sptop screen was lit up.
And she told him she needed a break from school at that point.
“You can take a break from school, but you can’t do it simply because you want to avoid someone. You
can’t just think about avoiding it after you meet a problem,” Matthew said calmly as he closed his
laptop.
Tammy was silent. After a long time, Matthew asked softly, “Do you remember when we were in
kindergarten, some kids bullied me because | 466 Offending the Wrong Person couldn’t speak? At that
time, you protected me. | grew up hoping that one day | would be able to protect you.”
