That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 100

Chapter 100 As one of the top-notch institutes in the country, Southend University couldn’t afford to allow its name to be stigmatized. Furthermore, the entire commotion that took place at the school gate created an. opportunity for it to be caught on camera and uploaded onto the internet. By then, the incident would inevitably take a toll on the school’s reputation. Refusing to be responsible for that, the security guard immediately informed the principal before the few of them made their way to the office. At that moment, Tessa was having a great time playing with Gregory in the manor when she suddenly received a call. “Hello, may I speak to Timothy Reinhart’s guardian?” The caller’s stern tone was heard as soon as the phone was answered. Confused, Tessa instantly asked, “Yes, speaking. Who is on the line, please?” “I’m the principal’s secretary from Southend University. Timothy has been caught with inappropriate behavior on campus grounds, so we need his guardian, which is you, to come over. So, please come to the school as soon as possible.” The call was hung up once the caller finished her sentence.

Inappropriate behavior on campus? Tessa knitted her eyebrows, finding it hard to believe her ears. After all, she had always known her brother as a smart and kind student and would never beli go around looking for trouble in school. Puzzled, she immediately rose from her seat and decided to leave the manor. Meanwhile, Gregory noticed Tessa’s worried look and asked in a concerned manner, “What happened, Miss Pretty Lady?” “Nothing. I just have some important business to take care of. Just stay home and be a good boy, okay? I’ll be back when I’m done.” Tessa patiently hoaxed the boy. Gregory heard the lady’s words and asked, “But are you sure you’re alright, Miss Pretty Lady? You’re still sick.” “I’m fine. I can hang in there.” Feeling touched by the little boy’s thoughtfulness, Tessa ruffled his hair and told the butler to look after Gregory before leaving the manor.

outside the principal’s office at Southend University. She then opened the door and was greeted by her brother, Timothy, right away. “What happened, Timothy?” she asked earnestly. “Tessa,” Timothy called out to his sister with a gloomy face and turned his attention to the couch. When Tessa followed Timothy’s line of sight, she instantly saw Amber and Sophia, whose presence turned her face into a gloomy one. At that moment, she could tell what was going on by the looks of it. The principal sat behind his desk, asking Tessa the moment he saw her. “Are you Timothy’s guardian?” Tessa nodded and calmly answered, “Yes, I’m his sister.” The principal responded with a nod and went ahead to tell Tessa what had just happened. “I just came to understand the situation, which seemed like your family feud. At that time, when the heated confrontation in which Timothy was involved took place, many witnesses saw what happened. For that, it has surely taken a toll on the school’s name. So, I suggest you settle your disputes at home instead of handling them publicly.” Tessa’s face darkened after she heard the principal’s explanation. Without even bothering to look at Amber, she went on to say, “Sir, I understand your situation, but this matter is actually not as complicated as you think it is. My brother and I have been living together for years, and there are only the two of us in the family. So, if anyone who claims to be our family messes with your students in front of the school gate, you should immediately call the police. Timothy is a student in your school, so he should be protected by you. Don’t you think so?” Tessa spoke with a chilly yet intimidating tone but maintained a polite expression on her face. However, the principal was speechless upon hearing her words, as he seemingly didn’t expect to hear them. Upon hearing Tessa’s words, Amber lost her cool and lashed out at the former. “You b*tch, Tessa! Where is your conscience?! You put your dad in jail, and now you’re trying to do the same thing to your grandmother! After all these years your father spent raising you, this is how you repay him, you ingrate! I’m warning you! I don’t care how it is, but you must get your father out of prison by today, or I will make you regret it!” Tessa stared at the old lady with a pair of cold eyes, speaking with a glacial voice. “You’re welcome to try.

If you ever dare to mess with me, I’m just going to call the cops! By then, don’t blame me if you get locked up in the cell!” “What did you just say?!”
