Chapter 62 Sue Them
Randall knew Gianna brought in Professor Booth, but the parents were unaware of this.
They felt puzzled when they saw the intimate gestures between Professor Booth and Gianna.
After a while, someone spoke up, "What's going on? How do Professor Booth and Gianna know each other?"
"I'm also curious. Isn't Gianna from the countryside? Professor Booth has been teaching at Reland University and rarely leaves there. How could he know a country girl?"
"Looking at how well they know each other, they've been friends for a long time!"
The crowd began to discuss among themselves.
Their voices were not low, and Gianna happened to hear them.
Gianna raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at them, and smiled at Professor Booth, "I've gained some weight."
She had been eating a lot of strawberry cakes lately, and her weight had increased by two pounds.
Professor Booth pinched her cheek, "A little chubby is good. You're too thin. You should eat more meat and look plumper."
Gianna: "..."
Had she become as fat as a pig?
After exchanging a few words, Professor Booth said, "Where is the class you mentioned? Take me there to assess the students' true levels and develop a learning plan."
After speaking, Professor Booth scolded Gianna sternly, "Gia, you just give me trouble. I'm already this old and have to face such a big challenge."
Gianna smiled and said, "You are a professor who has taught many doctoral students. This challenge is nothing to you."
"Hmph!" Professor Booth made two snorts, "It's been years, and you've become better at flattering."
Being flattered was a heartwarming feeling.
He liked to hear pleasant words because he was getting older.
Of course, not everyone's flattering words were pleasing to him.
Gianna smiled, turned to Randall, and said, "Mr. Galvan, I'll take Professor Booth to Class 18 first."
After speaking, she led Professor Booth out of the office.
Unexpectedly, her words shocked the parents.
"What! Professor Booth is going to teach Class 18? Are you kidding?"
"Mr. Galvan, what are you doing? First, you hired an ignorant girl as a homeroom teacher, and now you're bringing Professor Booth's team to teach Class 18. You've gone too far, haven't you?"
"What kind of students are in Class 18? They are a bunch of useless spoiled children. What future do they have? Professor Booth's excellent team should be teaching the top students. Mr. Galvan, aren't you wasting educational resources by doing this?"
Randall had long been annoyed with them, and now he said solemnly, "Do you think Professor Booth can be hired just because you want to? Don't you know that I have invited Professor Booth over ten times before, and he refused every time?"
"But this time, they came. It's a rare opportunity. Are you planning to let Professor Booth and his team teach a bunch of troublemakers in Class 18? If you do that, I will report you to the education department!"
He was so angry that he laughed, "Professor Booth was brought in by Ms. Geller. Ms. Geller is the homeroom teacher of Class 18, so naturally, they will be teaching there. If you want to sue me, go ahead and do it. I am sitting upright and not afraid to be investigated!"
He had reached his limit.
Upon hearing these words, the parents stared at him angrily, their eyes wide open.
"Gianna brought in Professor Booth? Are you joking? She's just a country girl!"
"Mr. Galvan, please draft your lies better before you tell them. Do you think Gianna is qualified to invite Professor Booth?"
"Do you have any improper relationship with Gianna, so you've been protecting her?"
The parents were getting increasingly angry, and their words were becoming harsh.
Randall's face turned red with anger!
He didn't expect these people to be so despicable. Gianna was only nineteen years old, and he was already in his forties. Gianna could easily be his daughter.
These people were slandering them like this.
How despicable!
Professor Booth initially thought these people were teachers from the school discussing matters with Mr. Galvan, but the voices he had just heard seemed to be about something other than that.
He heard someone insulting Gianna and calling her a country bumpkin!
His face immediately turned ugly, and he asked Gianna, 'What's going on?'
When the parents saw Professor Booth speak, without waiting for Gianna to say anything, they said, "Professor Booth, at Reland University, you are a highly respected professor. We are all honored to have you come to teach at Ranson High School. But why would you go and teach Class 18?"
"That class has long been notorious in the school. Very few students perform well academically, and the students in this class have a fragile foundation. It's a waste of educational resources for you to teach them."
"Professor Booth, please give up on teaching them and come teach the high-achieving students in the elite class. They all have good test scores, and with your guidance and your team's help, they will surely get into good universities."
"That Gianna is just a girl from the countryside. Who knows what means she used to deceive you! You have to be careful."
"Randall, too, I don't know what's gotten into him. He insists on having Gianna as the homeroom teacher for Class 18. She has yet to attend school, so why should she be qualified? And students in that class are hazardous. Whether you and your team can come alive after going there is a question."
As Professor Booth listened to these people gossiping incessantly, his face became darker than the bottom of a pot.
He became so angry that he fumed and growled under his breath, "This is utter nonsense!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
With Professor Booth's roar, the parents instantly fell silent.
Upon hearing this, Randall obediently stood on the sidelines because Professor Booth's words carried much more weight than his.
These parents were just bullies who feared the strong.
"Who said Gianna is a country bumpkin? Who said it? Show yourself!" Professor Booth shouted with a stern face. "A group of narrow-minded people who look down on country folks? Isn't the food you eat grown by country folks? What right do you have to look down on them?"
"And who said Gianna hasn't attended school? Show yourself! I would like to see whose head is kicked by a donkey!" Professor Booth had many students, but Gianna was his favorite.
Seeing Gianna being insulted in such a manner, he couldn't help but feel furious.
"Professor Booth, you shouldn't speak that way. It's a fact that Gianna is a country girl and hasn't attended school. You can't defend her just because she's connected to Randall." A parent expressed dissatisfaction.
"Bullshit!" Professor Booth was a refined person but was so angry that he resorted to foul language. It was evident that he was furious. "You bunch of scoundrels, dare to spout nonsense and even dare to wrong Gianna... Derek, contact a lawyer for me. I want to sue them, sue them to the end! If they don't bow their heads and apologize to Gianna, it's your fault!"
The other members of Professor Booth's team were also angry.
Because Professor Booth was Gianna's teacher, they had a good relationship, often discussing academic matters. Now, hearing someone framing Gianna like this, they couldn't bear it anymore.
Derek said, "Yes, I will contact a lawyer immediately."
"Professor Booth, you are, after all, a renowned professor at Reland University. How could you be misled by Gianna and unable to distinguish right from wrong?" A parent accused Professor Booth.
In most cases, no one from Professor Booth's team was speaking up. But now, Derek couldn't tolerate it any longer. "Gianna is Professor Booth's student. She ranked first nationwide in Alyvia City when she was only fourteen years old, and at sixteen, she obtained a dual degree in medicine and biochemistry from Reland University. Do you say she hasn't attended school? And accusing her of having an affair with Mr. Galvan? We can bankrupt you based on these two defamatory claims!"
