Chapter 140 Transferring ss
“Aunt Josephine, it’s almost time for ss. Why don’t you take Wade to his ssroom first?” Scarlett
persuaded Josephine after thetter calmed down.
Josephine and Scarlett looked at each other for a while. After that, Josephine nodded and gathered her
thoughts. She took Wade’s hand and said, “Honey, let me take you to your ssroom first.”
Wade red at Josephine, shook off her hand, and jogged out of the office.
Josephine’s expression stiffened. She then smiled, nodded to the other teachers in the office, and
chased after Wade.

After the two left, the tension in the office atmosphere eased greatly.
When she looked at Lexie’s cold expression, Scarlett smiled kindly. She said, “Ms. Anderson, I’m
Wade’s cousin. My name is Scarlett! I’m sorry, but my aunt has a bad temper. However, she’s a nice
person. Please don’t take what she said just now to heart. She was just anxious.”
Lexie’s expression softened a little after she saw that Scarlett was polite. The former paused and said,
“Can she say all that just because she’s anxious? I’m saying this with a conscience. I have not let down
my job as a teacher and didn’t fail any of my students. Everything that Mrs. Jordan said hurts me.”
“You’re right, Ms. Anderson. I will talk to my aunt when I go back. I hope you’ll calm down. Don’t bother
yourself with her!” Scarlett chimed in.
Lexie was shrewd, so she knew that Wade had an impressive family background. In fact, more often
than not, she took good care of Wade. She could not be med at all for his poor performance in this
exam. If it were not for what Josephine had said earlier, she would not have shed head-on with the
former.
Since Scarlett had said so, Lexie knew she should stop pursuing the matter too.
A faint smile appeared on Lexie’s face. She said, “I can’t stand being med for something I didn’t do. I
was a little hot-tempered just now, but since we’ve cleared the air, everything’s fine now!”
“You’re right, Ms. Anderson!” Scarlett nodded with a smile.
When she saw that she had calmed Lexie down, Scarlett went around the office to apologize to the
other teachers and left.
When the bell rang, Yuliana and Fiona headed to their ssrooms with textbooks.
Fiona asked in a low voice, “Ms. Livingstone, is that student’s cousin the one we metst time when we
were out shopping?”
When Scarlett entered the office, Fiona recognized her. However, when she saw neither Yuliana nor
Scarlett react, she was unsure. She thought she had gotten the wrong person.
Yuliana nodded and softly hummed in response.
Fiona tutted. “What ill fate is this? Of all people, she turns out to be the cousin of Ms. Anderson’s
student.” They did not continue the topic. As Fiona and Yuliana headed upstairs, they saw Scarlett and
Josephineing down.
Both sides only smiled and nodded without saying anything.
At lunchtime, Yuliana heard from Fiona that Wade’s mother, Josephine, had gone to the principal. She
said that Lexie’s teaching method was unsuitable for Wade and wanted to change a ss for him.
Fiona said, “Who would dare to take Wade in as their student?”
If another teacher epted Wade as their student, it would be embarrassing for Lexie.
They still needed to maintain their rtionship as colleagues.
Yuliana furrowed her brows and asked, “What did the principal say?”
Fiona shrugged and said, “It is said that the parent even called the education department. The student
has an influential family background. What can the principal do? He can only transfer Wade to another
ss, but for the time being, I don’t know which ss he will be transferred to.”
After a pause, Fiona suddenly nced at Yuliana and said, “Ms. Livingstone, I remember that you still
have a ce in your ss, right?”
There was a fixed number of 50 students in each ss. However, a student in Yuliana’s ss
emigrated abroad with his family shortly after the beginning of the semester. Hence, there was one
empty spot.
Of course, in all the six sses of the fourth grade, Yuliana’s ss was not the only one with an empty
spot.
After she heard what Fiona said, Yuliana’s hand that was holding the fork froze. Suddenly, she lost her
appetite.
The following morning, the principal called Yuliana to the office to have a talk. It meant that Wade would
be transferred to her ss Six. The other teacher, her partner, had agreed to the transfer. However,
Yuliana’s approval was needed since she was the head teacher of the fourth grade.
By saying so, the principal did not give Yuliana a chance to reject it. After all, her partner had agreed to
it. It would be unreasonable if she refused to ept Wade’s transfer.
Moreover, judging by the principal’s tone, it did not sound like he wanted to discuss the matter with
Yuliana. It was apparent that he had made a decision.
When he saw that Yuliana did not nod after some time, the principal said, “Ms. Livingstone, I have no
choice. The student’s parent wants the child to be transferred to your ss. Otherwise, she will
continue to cause
trouble.”
Back then, Josephine used a lot of her connections. That was why Wade could transfer to Juxshire
Primary School. If the truth of such a gray area matters were revealed, in the end, the school would be
in trouble.
Yuliana knew there was no room for discussion, so she could only nod and agree.
At noon that day, Wade’s mother, Josephine, came to school again. This time, she bought a lot of fruits
and a gift box. She ced them all on Yuliana’s table.
Several other teachers were in the office.
Yuliana didn’t have to look to know Lexie’s expression had darkened.
“Ms. Livingstone, I’m counting on you to teach my son from now on!” Josephine smiled kindly at
Yuliana and continued, “I bought a small gift. I hope you’ll like it, Ms. Livingstone.”
Of course, Yuliana would not ept the gift and fruits. It took her a lot of time to send Josephine away.
In the afternoon, Wade transferred from Lexie’s ss Two to Yuliana’s ss Six.
For the following days, Lexie did not smile at Yuliana. Every time she saw thetter, she would put on a
grim face. Whenever they exchanged a few words, there was a sting in Lexie’s words.
On Friday, as soon as Yuliana got off work and arrived at the entrance of her house, she saw
Christopher pushing a small suitcase and standing in the corridor. There was a cigarette in his mouth.
He was casually scrolling on his phone.
When he heard the sound of the elevator, Christopher looked up. He nced at Yuliana and lowered
his eyes to look at the phone screen again.
Yuliana took the key, opened the door, and went in. She did not close the door and went straight back
to her room. She changed her clothes’ and came out. By then, Christopher had already moved from the
corridor to the sofa. His suitcase was casually tossed beside the shoe cab.
Yuliana and Christopher ignored each other and did their own things.
Christophery on the sofa and continued ying his game. The sound effects of the game were loud.
Yuliana took cardboard boxes and began sorting the things in the living room. After that, she
categorized them and put the stuff into the boxes. She then made remarks on the outside of the boxes
with a ck pen.
An hourter, several packed cardboard boxes were piled up in the living room.
The space was too small, so it was inconvenient for them to walk as the boxes were in the way. Yuliana
wanted to move them to the side. It was easy for her to move the first two boxes. However, when it
came to the third box, it was too heavy for her to move. She looked at the remarks and realized the box
was full of books.
Yuliana straightened up and rested for a moment. Just as she was about to drag the box again, she
saw a pair of arms appearing in her sight. Following that, she saw the box being lifted easily.
She was stunned for a brief second. She looked up and saw Christopher looking down at her.
His thin lips moved. His voice was cold as he asked, “Where do you want to put this?”
