Chapter 1571 Gideon's Evil Scheme
Gideon had invested so much effort in his career, refusing to settle for a humble teacher. While most educators aspired to become principals, his ambition stretched further.
Gideon hadn't chosen the path of an educator to shape the younger generation. To him, it was merely a job.
Gideon believed that only a fool would choose education over the easy route to wealth. While some educators might find success in rural areas, opportunities in big cities were far more limited.
It wasn't that Gideon looked down on the students. Rather, he understood their circumstances all too well. The minimum grades required for admission to local institutions varied significantly for students possessing city identification cards compared to those without.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Besides, students from wealthy families had little reason to work hard. After all, they were set on a path to study abroad. It didn't matter if they failed the examinations as they could always pay for a certificate from overseas.
With enough money, anything was possible. That was the harsh reality of the world.
To pave a brighter path for his son, Gideon needed to secure a position within the Department of Education. Ironically, the school's principal had little faith in the value of education. Though he was an educator, he cared little for the very system he was part of. Yet, that was simply how the world worked. Compared to individuals online earning thousands per month, many children struggled to escape their environments for better opportunities. With people trapped in echo chambers, they might not be open to the truth. Typically, parents with a narrow outlook provided limited opportunities for their children. For instance, parents with a broader understanding would begin preparing their children for admission to institutions and selecting majors as early as high school.
On the other hand, those lacking insight often left their children to navigate alone, sometimes leading them to poor choices.
Even with the same grades, a student's future could be drastically affected by the institution they attended. While some worked tirelessly for a better life, others indulged in luxuries. Neither lifestyle was inherently wrong, but each shaped the children's destinies.
Yet, through education, some broke free of the constraints-Eliana and Penelope were prime examples. Instead of making empty boasts, they had been genuinely striving to change their lives. For that reason, Wynter was determined not to let their hopes dashed. Both the mastermind and Gideon assumed that someone would come to investigate the school. Their suspicions proved correct, though the investigator wasn't Lucas as they had expected.
Instead, Wynter pulled up to the school gate in her sleek black BMW Tomahawk, appearing rather dashing.
The way her slender legs held up the superbike and her graceful motion in removing her helmet caught the attention of the students, many of whom stared in admiration.
"Who's that? She's so cool!" someone exclaimed.
"No idea, but isn't that Eliana Linden from the top class behind her?" another questioned. "Hey, you're right! I heard she's been chosen as an exchange student. Why is she back? Has she forgotten something?" one wondered aloud.
"Is Eliana one of the exchange students? I'm so jealous!" someone exclaimed.
As Gideon stepped outside, he overheard the students' chatter. Keeping up his gentle facade in front of them, he turned to Wynter and advised, "You can't park your bike here, young lady. It's not good for the school's image."
"That's our principal, Mr. Gideon Valencia," Eliana whispered nervously to Wynter, fearing that her return might lead to her expulsion.
Wynter glanced at Gideon, who met her gaze. During their brief call earlier, Colby hadn't had the chance to mention who had taken Eliana away.
So, Gideon assumed Wynter was just one of Eliana's acquaintances and internally regarded her with disdain.
