The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 10 Dust Settles, Fates Decided
Nigel forced out a smile that looked worse than crying, his voice trembling as he spoke. "Ms. Tyne, I've already done as you asked… Can't you just let me off?"I pointed at the expulsion agreement in front of him, completely unmoved. "Director Latham, you'd better sign this now. You know full well that dragging this out will only make things worse. Also, don't bother trying to use your shares to threaten me. "You should know exactly what the Tyne Family is capable of."Nigel, now certain that there was truly no way to salvage the situation, eventually signed the agreement with a defeated expression on his face.My father couldn't help giving me a thumbs-up after watching me handle everything so decisively. "That's my girl. You settled everything before I even had to step in."I smiled and looped my arm through his, leaning against him as I said, "That's only because you were here backing me up. I have no idea how I was going to handle this if you weren't here."Just as Nigel was
The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 9 No One Walks Away Clean
Nigel's face turned ashen when he realized I had deliberately dragged things out to give him false hope. He was furious, but he didn't dare lose his temper now that my father was present. Instead, he forced himself to keep apologizing."Ms. Tyne, you've seen it yourself. I've already given Arlo a good thrashing. What more do you want me to do? He's just a kid. You can't be too harsh on a kid, right? Besides, you're just a counselor right now."He tried to use my role as a counselor to wriggle out of paying his dues, but I wasn't having it. "Mr. Latham is 20 this year. He's an adult. It's time for him to take responsibility for his actions. You say he's still a child, and I won't argue with that since he's a year shy of being legal. "Still, your 'child' has been abusing your authority on campus. He's been using your power to bully others and has even spread obscene rumors about a female faculty member. A bratty three-year-old would get a stern talking to for such behavior. "So, te
The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 8 A Name You Shouldn't Have Tested
'He's here?'Everyone's eyes snapped toward the doorway, eager to finally see the elusive chairman who had never once shown his face. However, a look of confusion appeared on their faces when they recognized the man walking in as my father."Nigel, whatever it is, you can say it to me directly today. But as for this so-called close relationship between us… Why am I unaware of it?"Nigel scoffed, clearly unimpressed. "Philip, are you getting senile? I'm here to speak to the chairman. What does that have to do with you? You're just an investor."I shook my head in pity when I saw that Nigel had failed to connect the dots, letting out a quiet sigh. My father had always kept a low profile as he was never one to flaunt his wealth. Alas, his cover was blown because of me. I could already imagine the lecture waiting for me at home.Philip walked calmly to the head seat at the front and sat down, his tone measured and unhurried. "Do I have to spell it out for you? I am the chairman. I'm
The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 7 Calling the Bluff
Arlo hurriedly pulled out his phone to look it up. The moment he confirmed that top-grade emeralds matched the exact quality of my bracelet, his legs nearly gave out beneath him.Nigel caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and it seemed as if the sky had fallen on him at that split second. Still, he cleared his throat and forced himself to remain composed. "Elara, I only addressed you as Ms. Tyne out of courtesy. But at the end of the day, I'm still your elder. Your father may be an investor, but his shares don't exceed mine."I've been the one managing the school's affairs over the years, no matter how trivial. The school's admission rates would likely take a hit if I were to step down, which would affect everyone's interests. You're a smart girl, I'm sure you understand what I'm getting at. "Why don't we all meet in the middle and let today's matter slide?"His attempt at persuasion didn't move me in the slightest. I knew I could spare Nigel and his son the troubl
The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 6 The Price of Arrogance
Arlo clutched his swollen, reddened cheek, practically seething with rage. "Dad! So what if they're an investor? You still hold the largest share on the school board! Why would you hit me over some outsider? Besides, Elara didn't exactly go easy on me before you got here!"Nigel might have struck him, but it was clearly just for show since so many eyes were on them. Still, Nigel's expression darkened considerably upon hearing his precious son's complaint. When he apologized again, it clearly lacked the sincerity from before."Ms. Tyne, Arlo's usually very well-behaved in private. What happened between the two of you today was just a joke. Young people have all kinds of ways of making friends. There's even a saying, 'no discord, no concord.' Please don't take it to heart."Now that I was watching him scramble to cover for Arlo, the decision that was still up in the air immediately solidified into certainty. I had assumed Arlo used Nigel's status to bully others on campus because Nige

As if on cue, the secretary, Rachel Thompson, entered the meeting room as well. She thoughtfully helped me put on the amplifier and spoke gently. "You've caught a cold recently. Please take care of your throat."David courteously pulled out a chair for me and said with a smile, "Mr. Tyne will be here later. We can't keep everyone waiting. Ms. Tyne, why don't you open the meeting first?"When Arlo noticed that even the amplifier I was wearing was trimmed with gold, he blurted out in shock, "How can a hick like you afford something that expensive?"I shot him an annoyed glance without bothering to explain. I was being low-key, not broke. Besides, the amplifier I was wearing was already the most understated one I owned.After I handed out the meeting materials, I took a sip of water to soothe my throat and prepared to step up. Rachel gestured politely, her movements carrying the refinement typical of wealthy households. "Ms. Tyne, please."'Ms. Tyne?'Only then did Arlo realize that

Then, she raised her voice again and put on a show of scolding me. "Ms. Tyne, you're a teacher, so you need to be mindful of your appearance! How do you expect students to respect you when you dress so poorly? Now, apologize to this student right this instant!"I looked at the fake smile plastered
The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 4 The Wrong Person to Offend
Arlo clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he nearly doubled over, his face full of mockery. "Can you come up with a more believable lie? That crappy bracelet of yours looks moldy, and you're calling it priceless?!"The two lackeys behind him burst into harsh laughter as well. "That color looks ju
The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 3 Arrogance Meets Reality
"Why do you have a Board of Directors meeting booklet?" he screeched in disbelief.I rolled my eyes at him. "Why can't I have one?"At Saltmere University, the Board of Directors wasn't something just anyone could get into. One was either a highly respected senior professor or someone with serious
The Day Privilege Backfired Chapter 1 A Lesson in Authority
I had thought that teaching at a university would mean dealing with a few difficult colleagues at worst. I never expected the real headache to come from these reckless, clueless students."Did you hear me? I told you to strip and get on your knees!" Arlo Latham kicked over a trash can, the loud cra
