Chapter 267 - 266: Scheming South
Right at noon, when students were dismissed from school, many students and parents saw a banner near the school gate that was not far from where they lived.
"Grandson sets fire, grandfather exerts pressure, where can the principal seek redress?" This was the first line.
"Powerful background, strong backing, there’s no justice in the world." This was the second line.
On top, there was a horizontal scroll: "What can you do to me?"
Parents, students, and teachers at the school saw this banner and were a bit perplexed.
Because the banner had the word ’principal,’ they instinctively felt it was related to the school.
Including the word ’arson’ on it, as a big fire had just happened at the school two days prior, at this moment, everyone looked curiously at the banner hanging high on the building across from the school.
At this time, a few girls holding thick stacks of flyers arrived at the school gate, and they handed them out to whoever they saw, saying: "Marcus Shaw from the School Board shields his grandson, suspended the principal of the First High School, find out about the incident."
When South Grant left the school gate, he witnessed this scene, all of which she had arranged.
Dodo and Didi spent the entire morning doing this, including hiring people to hand out flyers, as per South Grant’s instruction.
Isn’t The Shaw Family influential and resourceful, trying to suppress this matter?
Then let’s see if the power of public opinion is greater than their backing.
At this moment, all the students and parents were whispering and discussing, and some timid parents, afraid of causing trouble, pulled their children, telling them not to stand out.
But they didn’t know that seventeen- or eighteen-year-olds are full of passion, and upon reading the flyers and understanding the situation, how could they hold back their anger? The principal’s reputation at their school was excellent.
Although the principal was very strict when criticizing students who made mistakes, he was extremely endearing when defending them. In his own words: "I can criticize and educate my students, but you have no right."
Such a principal had an excellent reputation among the students, and those who understood the situation were now all roused and vocally demanding justice for the principal.
Even now, the principal remained suspended because the arsonist hadn’t been found, making it the school’s responsibility.
Currently, it stated that the arsonist was Marcus Shaw from Second High School, and the one pursuing accountability was Marcus Shaw’s grandfather. The police had not even concluded their investigation, yet the School Board had already been pointing fingers at the principal.
Are they blind?
Did they not see on the day of the fire that the principal was the first to rush in? If he hadn’t carried out student after student on his back, who knows how many lives that fire would have claimed.
Seniors, juniors, freshmen, as long as they were students at the school who knew about this incident, they gathered to discuss and all felt it necessary to demand justice from the School Board.
The parents were terrified when they heard this and hurried to stop them, but how could they hold them back?
Groups of threes and fives teamed up and marched to the School Board’s office building.
As more and more people gathered, the banner from the entrance of the First High School was also brought along, and all the students gathered together, blocking the entrance to their office building.
They demanded a thorough investigation from above to give First High School justice.
South Grant also joined, intending to monitor the developments so she could adapt accordingly.
Director Shaw was watching the students from his office, his face clouded with gloom.
But he knew that if the issue wasn’t resolved, the public outcry would only grow louder.
By now, even TV stations and various media outlets had started interviewing these students, inquiring about what had happened.
