She Said I Wouldn’t Finish Middle School, I Just Became the Principal Who Rejected Her Daughter Chapter 06
I pulled a thick stack of bank transfer records fromÂ
the folder and threw them directly in front of the oversight panel chair.Â
“Since the District Office sent you here toÂ
investigate, let’s investigate properly.”Â
The panel chair picked up the records with trembling hands. After one glance, cold sweatÂ
broke out across his forehead.Â
I faced the microphone, my voice perfectly calm.Â
“Chloe Carter’s so–called first place in the State Math Olympiad came from Margaret Whitman abusing her position as chairwoman of the City Education Board to obtain leaked exam questionsÂ
in advance.”Â
“Her so–called National French Contest gold medal came from Margaret paying one hundredÂ
thousand dollars to bribe three key judges on theÂ
evaluation panel.”Â
“As for her record of ranking first districtwide onÂ
every benchmark exam…”Â
I looked coldly at Dean Reed, who was standing nearby and trembling from head to toe.Â
“Dean Reed, do I need to play the surveillance footage of you slipping photocopied answer keys into Chloe Carter’s desk before every exam?”Â
Dean Reed’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to theÂ
floor.Â
“Principal Hart… I was wrong… I was forced to do it. Vice Principal Carter and Chairwoman WhitmanÂ
made me.”Â
Dean Reed broke down completely and beganÂ
sobbing.Â
“They said if I refused, they’d have me kicked out of Northview Preparatory Academy. I still have aÂ
mortgage to pay.”Â
Daniel rushed over and kicked Dean Reed hard.Â
“You’re lying. You’re making false accusations.”Â
The entire stage fell into chaos.Â
Below the stage, reporters began snappingÂ
photos like mad. Camera flashes burst so brightlyÂ
that the auditorium looked almost white.Â
“Massive scandal. Top preparatory academyÂ
administrators and City Board of EducationÂ
chairwoman involved in academic fraud.”Â
“MIT nomination used as bargaining chip for theÂ
powerful.”Â
Reporters shouted into their cameras, and theÂ
entire auditorium spun out of control.Â
Margaret’s face twitched violently.Â
The mask she had worn all her life, the prestigeÂ
she had used to tower over everyone else, wasÂ
stripped away in that moment.Â
“Cut the livestream. Cut it now.”Â
She lunged at a reporter’s camera, frantic andÂ
unhinged, but no one paid her any attention.Â
Chloe was crying so hard that her makeup ranÂ
down her face. She screamed at me in hysteria.Â
“Evelyn Hart, you ruined me. You ruined my life.Â
You bitch.”Â
“I ruined you?”Â
I strode down from the stage and stopped in frontÂ
of Chloe.Â
Then I grabbed her by the collar and yanked her upÂ
from the floor.Â
“Chloe Carter, you ruined yourself.”Â
“You hoarded the best educational resources andÂ
used the vilest methods to crush ordinary peopleÂ
who were fighting with everything they had.”Â
“You destroyed Noah’s model, drove Hannah outÂ
of school, and built your perfect image on theÂ
people you hurt.”Â
“All I did was tear off the pretty mask you wereÂ
hiding behind.”Â
I shoved her away hard.Â
Chloe collapsed to the floor in a helpless heap.Â
Just then, the doors of the auditorium wereÂ
pushed open.Â
Several stern–faced investigators in dark jackets.Â
walked in.Â
The man leading them showed his credentials.Â
“Joint investigation team from the State Inspector General’s Office and the State Department ofÂ
Education.”Â
The oversight panel chair immediately straightened and went to greet him.Â
The team leader scanned the room coldly.Â
“We have received a signed complaint allegingÂ
that Margaret Whitman, chairwoman of the CityÂ
Education Board, and Daniel Carter, vice principalÂ
of Northview Preparatory Academy, are involved inÂ
serious ethics violations, criminal misconduct, andÂ
pay–to–play corruption.”Â
“You are being taken in for questioning.”Â
The moment Margaret heard the words “StateÂ
Inspector General’s Office,” her eyes rolled back,Â
and she fainted on the spot.
