Chapter 107 - 107: I Have the Elderly Above and the Young Below
“No, wait, who are you? Do I know you?”
Xaviera Evans took a step back, increasing the distance between them: “Some students just said that you are a teacher in the Design Department. Which teacher are you?”
“I, I am called Fay White.” The woman stuttered, “Last time, during Miss Evans’ forum discussion on sponsorships, I casually made some comments without knowing the full situation. The school said that I am not fit to be a teacher and wanted to fire me… Miss Evans, I know your family is well-off and you don’t understand the struggles of us insignificant people, but I really can’t lose this job. If I lose it, I might as well die!”
Many people were involved in the forum incident, and Fay White was one of them. However, Xaviera was not informed about the handling of the matter by Gaby Rome and Caleb Mamet.
Upon hearing Fay White’s words, Xaviera became even more puzzled. It had been quite some time since the incident — why was she just seeking trouble now?
Seeing Xaviera not responding, Fay White suddenly staggered and knelt down, covering her face and crying loudly: “Xaviera, I beg you like this and you still won’t forgive me? What do you want? Just because I said a few words about you, do you want to force me to death?”
“I have elderly parents and young children. I’m not like you, a rich young lady who has never touched spring water. I really need this job. I promise I will never speak recklessly again. Please let it go, just leave me a chance to live, I will work like an ox and a horse to repay you in my next life…”
The students looked at each other: “What’s going on? Teachers who can work at Libanan University are probably very capable, right? Even if they get fired from Libanan University, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to find another job.’
“Unless Xaviera Evans deliberately took revenge and didn’t let her find a job? And even attacked her physically? Both mental and physical torture? No wonder Miss White looks so miserable. She probably couldn’t take the retaliation and had to come to beg Xaviera Evans for mercy.”
Fay White heard the students’ words and cried even harder. She crawled to Xaviera’s feet on her knees and kowtowed: “Miss Evans, saving a life is better than building a seven-storey high pagoda. I am kowtowing to you, please let me go… please let me go, okay?”
Under these circumstances, the students didn’t know what to do either.
Having never experienced the hardships of life, their simple campus environment allowed their minds to stay innocent. Although Fay White was at fault, Xaviera’s actions against her seemed justified. However, they felt that Xaviera’s punishment was a bit excessive in their hearts.
After all, the forum incident didn’t cause Xaviera too much trouble, yet she wanted Fay White’s life.
At this moment, someone hurried over from outside the crowd. Everyone turned to look, only to see Mag Evans with tears slowly rolling down her cheeks. The sight of such a beautiful woman crying made many people feel sorry for her.
Mag Evans squatted down beside Fay White, biting her lip and pleading: “Sis, it’s been so long since the forum incident, could you please forgive Miss White… She didn’t know the truth at the time, she just casually expressed her opinion. There’s no need for you to be so merciless.”
“Now she has no job and no place to live, and she can’t even guarantee her own safety. Sis, she has already apologized to you, can you let her go? The people you sent have taught her a big lesson, and she won’t make the same mistake again. Please call them off.”
Although Mag Evans had caused some scandals before, people were quite forgiving towards beautiful things and tended to quickly forget her wrongdoings, only seeing her good side.
Now that Mag Evans stood with Fay White and spoke in a pleading voice about how hard her days had been, mentioning that she was beaten by someone, all of a sudden, everyone took Mag Evans’ side, thinking that Xaviera’s methods were too cruel.
People tend to sympathize with the weak, and when the punishment that Fay White received did not match her wrongdoings, they felt it was unfair. “Xaviera, why don’t you let Miss White go, she’s pretty miserable now.”
“Yes, you didn’t even recognize her when she first appeared, so she probably didn’t speak those words to your face, just making some complaints behind your back. For a few complaints, she lost her job, her home, and was even threatened and beaten. That’s really going too far.”
“Now she’s apologized to you, can’t you call off the people you sent after her? Can you rich young ladies not care about ordinary people’s lives? If you continue to act this way, even though you’re a schoolteacher, I will call the police.. “
