Chapter 22 Life Saver!
Master Henry was astonished to look at Monica. Monica shook her head slightly, and Master Henry shook his head too, 'No, she is fine. She even didn't take it seriously."
'That's good. Don't worry, I will tell Austin to behave. Nobody will bully Monica at school in future. You don't need to worry about it."
'Alright, thank you very much." Master Henry was delighted and thanked the Principal immediately.
'You are welcome. If you have time, we should have tea together someday." The Principal said politely.
'Okay, let me know when you are free." Master Henry was obviously flattered. It's not easy to make an appointment with the Principal, let alone to say that he offered it by himself. He agreed without hesitation.
'Then it's fixed." Afterwards, the Principal hung up.
The air was frozen. All listened to the call, and they were all shocked, looking at Monica unbelievably.
Anne was shocked to her core. She couldn't believe at the beginning that the Principal would protect Monica still after the incident happened. But the call just now proved everything!
Master Henry cooled down first and then asked, 'Monica, do you know the Principal well?"
Last time, she said they met just once, but in his opinion, it didn't sound like that they met just once.
Monica knew her grandpa had doubts, and answered with a bit hesitation, 'You can say that."
Even though they met once, but when he was hospitalized, she was there to accompany him, so it should be regarded as familiar.
Gloria would take her answer as it was, 'What do you mean by that? Do you know him or not?"
She couldn't accept the fact that a country girl like Monica got in Senior section in Oxford. And when she offended the Watermans, the Principal defended her still. What really happened? She must find out how they were related!
Jeffery and Nancy did say anything but apparently, they wanted to know too.
Since her parents were also curious, Monica decided to tell more, 'if you must know, I saved his life once."
Monica said calmly, but her words stunned all.
'Saved ... his life?!" Gloria looked at Jon with her eyes widely open. Unbelievable! A 18-year-old girl said she saved the Principal's life!
'Monica, is it true? Don't talk nonsense because the Principal called by himself." A student from countryside claimed herself as the principal's life saver?
Did she go crazy?
'You can ask the Principal if you don't believe." Monica had no patience for Anne.
Anne paled and knew clearly. She was in no position to meet with the Principal. She said so just because she knew she couldn't prove it.
Jeffery came back to his senses, but then it seemed he was enlightened, 'No wonder that Monica was sure that she wouldn't be expelled when we were still at home."
Nancy's anxiety was relieved, 'Yes, it looks like that Monica won't be expelled!"
Jeffery and Nancy were delighted, but Jon and Gloria were exactly the opposite. They were proved to be wrong again.
Originally, they wanted to be the whistle-blowers to Master Henry, and at the same time to witness Monica to be expelled.
But to their least imagination, Monica won again.
On the contrary, the whistle-blowers became the laughing stock. Gloria couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Master Henry guiltily, 'Dad, since it's solved, we are heading off now."
Master Henry didn't want to let her go so easily, 'From now on, don't mess up with anything happened at school. You should keep quiet when it's not suitable to discuss at home."
Gloria felt ashamed to be scolded like that in front of Jeffery and Nancy.
But since it was her fault this time, she had to put up with it, 'Dad, I got it..."
Afterwards, she left together with Jon in a rush.
Master Henry looked at Monica, smiling gently, 'you are truly my granddaughter. Come, tell me how you taught a lesson to the Waterman's boy."
He didn't like how the Watermans behaved since long. Monica was like him; she was straightforward and not afraid of how others see her.
Monica knew it would be a long story, so that she found the video on the forum and showed to her grandpa and her parents.
Three of them were very nervous while watching the video.
'Monica, you know Martial Arts?" Nancy stared at her with eyes widely open, unexpectedly.
'I learned in the countryside. Grandma let me practice in order to protect myself." She turned away from Nancy's look and found a random excuse.
'It's good. Girls should learn martial arts. You are the only one who are like me on character. 'Master Henry got more and more satisfied with Monica and replied the video several times.
Anne was completely ignored. She stared at Monica steadily.
It went totally out of her hand. She tried to team up with Ashley and Annette, but still, it didn't sabotage Monica...
But on the contrary, she was even more in the spotlight! She was furious!
Anne clenched her fists with fingernails almost cutting into her palms...
An hour later, four of them returned home.
Monica sent a message of two words 'Thank you" to the Principal when she got in her bedroom.
The Principal was famous for not returning messages, so that she went for shower.
Soon after she finished shower, someone was knocking at her door.
Monica opened the door to see it was Anne unexpectedly.
'What can I do for you?" Monica said coldly, no warmth in her eyes too.
'Monica, these are some cosmetics I bought on vacation in France. You can keep them." She smiled innocently, but Monica didn't like her smile at all.
Thinking that she tried to sabotage her secretly several times today, Monica retreated, 'No, I don't use this stuff."
She disliked those girlish bottles always. She was simply too lazy for that.
'You never used?" Anne was surprised. She never used but she had such fair skin... She was jealous again.
