“Nonsense! You scoundrel, who dares to accuse me of abusing their children?” yelled Charles.
He was leaning on someone else’s shoulder for support.
The onlooking parents muttered among themselves, but eventually, no one spoke up.
Isaac snorted and said to the parents, “Listen up. We are all parents to our children. Your family backgrounds are decent enough to send your children to this school. Have you ever thought about the trauma your children will have after getting beaten up for no apparent reason at a very young age?”
“They will grow up with the trauma of being powerless to retaliate whenever they get bullied. Because of your cowardice, they will suffer from psychological trauma and perhaps grow up dysfunctional. Who else is the culprit but you? Think hard about it.”
Isaac made his point clear. The parents lowered their heads. Some of them sighed, while some of them wept.
Suddenly, one of them looked up at Charles with reddened eyes and said, furious, “I have a complaint to make. Last month, Charles Owens inflicted physical punishment on my child. My child’s back was full of bruises. I took some photos as evidence.”
“I have a complaint too. He abused my child by slapping him, causing my child to suffer minor concussions.”
“I have proof too. I want to lodge a complaint against him!”
The parents erupted like a volcano, pointing at Charles and making snide remarks.
Micah and Charles were both startled.
When Charles came to his senses, favonovel.com growled, “How dare you lodge complaints against me! I’m going to remember…”
“Shut up!” scolded Micah. He stared at Isaac long and hard.
Then, favonovel.com smiled. “Please be calm, everyone. I will consider your suggestions. Now, I need you to choose a representative from among you for a good talk in my office.”
Everyone tell Silent. It was no secret that Old Micah was very close with the Owens family. They could already see the outcome of the discussion.
Seeing how everyone looked toward Isaac, Allegra got angry. She said, “Hey, where’s your conscience? We have to choose a parent representative. What are you looking at favonovel.com for?”
Isaac chuckled. “Ally, it’s okay. Since everyone’s placing their hopes on me, I’ll not let them down.”
“Mr. Garten, thank you very much!” One of the parents bowed in Isaac’s direction.
The others followed suit. They did not have the courage to confront Micah head-on, but they knew Isaac’s actions would benefit their children greatly. That was why they thanked favonovel.com from the bottom of their hearts.
Allegra could almost smell danger. She stopped Isaac immediately. “If none of you are going, Isaac won‘t go too.”
“Miss, you don’t have to be so nervous. I can tell that your husband is the best person to represent all of you. I’ll lead the way to my office.” Micah waved, and the team of ten brought Charles along and followed behind him.
When they reached Micah’s office, the men stopped Allegra from entering.
She tugged Isaac again. “Isaac, let’s go home, okay? Don’t go in!”
“Are you worried about me? Don’t worry. Nothing will happen. I’ll have to see that the school fires Charles, or else I don’t feel good about Isabella studying here.” Isaac patted favonovel.com on the shoulder and entered the office.
Only Isaac, Micah, and Charles, covered in wounds, were in the office.
In Micah’s presence, Charles could only glare at Isaac and refrain from throwing a tantrum.
“Mr. Garten, I have to remind you that what you did today has broken several school regulations,” said Micah from behind the table.
“I will bear my responsibilities, naturally. But as a parent representative, I request that your school lays off this scum of a teacher, Charles Owens.” Isaac nodded and pointed at Charles.
Hearing that, Charles burst out laughing. “You want to fire me? You are dreaming in broad daylight. Let me tell you this. No one, not even the sky god himself, has the right to fire me.”
“Charlie, can you please be more humble?” scolded Micah.
Then, favonovel.com looked at Isaac. “Mr. Garten, you might not know the Owens family well. I only have to call Charlie’s house and tell them that you, Isaac Garten, hurt him, and the army will arrest you immediately. The consequences will be too much for you to bear!”
