"Oh! Good morning, Mrs. Gray. Are you here to talk about Mackenzie's problem with her classmates?" the old Mrs. Andrew said with a smile. She already expected Chloe to come to discuss the problem that Mackie faced. "Please come in, Mrs. Gray. I've been thinking about calling you to discuss this problem we faced together."

Chloe followed Mrs. Andrew as she entered the principal room. Mrs. Andrew sat on her principal seat and looked at Chloe, "Please sit down, Mrs. Gray."

Chloe sat facing the old principal. Mrs. Andrew cupped her hands as if she was about to deliver bad news, "Mrs. Gray, you've heard about this problem with Mackenzie and her friends, correct?"

Chloe nodded.

"It's regrettable, Mrs. Gray. We've tried our best to suppress the news about your husband— Mr. Vincent Gray's adultery, but it's simply undoable, especially when he slept with two of the student's mothers."

"I've talked with Mrs. Jada Smite and Maya Glasslow, Jaden's and Mia's mothers, about their children knowing their affair, that meant they were doing it inside their homes, where the children could see them— Jaden and Mia told the other kids that their moms were sleeping with your husband," Mrs. Andrews told everything that happened between Mackie, Jaden, and Mia.

Chloe stayed silent because she didn't know what to say here.

"Mrs. Gray, I don't know how is your relationship with your husband, and I respect Mr. Gray so much because his late father— Mr. Vaughn Gray, was the main donator of this school when this school was erected. But, with all due respect, I cannot tolerate what Vincent Gray did to hurt the children. The victim is not only Mackenzie but also all the other students because Mia and Jaden often picked a fight with Mackenzie in the class, and all students involuntarily heard about their moms' affairs with Mr. Vincent Gray."

Now, Chloe was the one who felt stumped after she heard everything from Mrs. Andrew. There was a mix of shame and disappointment in her heart.

She was ashamed of Vincent's deed. That guy seriously had no conscience. He knew about Jada and Maya when he met them in a parents' meeting last year and started texting them.

Of course, Jada and Maya were unable to resist Vincent's charm. Even Chloe had to admit that Vincent was very attractive— though his little brother was even more attractive than he could ever be, appearance-wise.

But Vincent had one thing that Vernon didn't have… which was the title of the Gray Family heir, including all the wealth and businesses.

Thus, those women thought they could kick Chloe out of Vincent's life and be the new Mrs. Gray instead. They didn't know what kind of hell Vincent gave her, and the 'money' he had would only drown them into suicidal depression.

Chloe was disappointed because she couldn't complain about Mackie's problem here. After all, Mrs. Andrew was also in a terrible situation right now.

"My relationship with my… husband is not a public business to talk about. But Mrs. Andrew, shouldn't you put Jada and Mia in counseling instead? They are being destructive and even went as far as bullying my daughter. That's not supposed to happen!"

"Oh, Mrs. Gray, I want to. In fact, I already gave an ultimatum for Jaden's and Mia's mothers, telling them if they wanted the kids to stay in this school, they should put them into counseling or they would be expelled."

"And what's their response?" Chloe asked.

"They just called Mr. Vincent Gray, and I got a threat from him…." Mrs. Andrew sighed pitifully. "He said that he will take this land that his late father had given to us because he still had the certificate if I dare to expel Jaden and Mia out of the school."

"WHAT?!" Chloe's eyes widened. "He—He literally wants the school to be demolished if you did that? Why? How?!"

"This big land is true, under the name of Mr. Vaughn Gray and now under Mrs. Dorothea Gray. He gave us the land to erect the school as a donation but didn't give us the certificate. So the school building is owned by the Gray Family for now."

"This… this is too much…" Chloe mumbled, but Mrs. Andrew heard it.

"That's why Mrs. Gray. I cannot help much. I don't know what your husband's motivation to do this is, but the school is forced to be in this situation because of him," Mrs. Andrew's wrinkles got deeper as she seemed to worry so much about the school's future. "Mrs. Gray, you're the only one who could help us. You're his wife, right? Please talk him out of this."

…

Chloe lowered her head to dodge Mrs. Andrew's eyes. She fiddled with her fingers, unable to say anything as she didn't want to disclose her problem with that bastard.

"I… I will try…." Chloe said.

"Thank you— oh, thank you so much, Mrs. Gray!"

Chloe nodded weakly. She got up and said, "I don't think I will talk about anything else here. I'll go to the school administration office to pay for my daughter's tuition."

"Oh yes, Mrs. Gray, your husband called me yesterday, saying that he has given you the money to pay for Mackenzie's tuition," Mrs. Andrew said. "I told him he doesn't need to pay because he owned the land and school building. But he said he will keep giving money to you, so you can pay the tuition. He even said that you can pay double…."

'Oh, come on, that bastard wants to pit me like this?! That's so low of him!' Chloe clenched her fist, but her expression remained unchanged while staring at the old principal. "My… husband gave the money to me, indeed. And I will pay for my daughter's tuition. But he only gave me enough to pay for her, no more than that."

"I understand, Mrs. Gray. After all, Mr. Vincent Gray also told me that you're often going on spending sprees, buying expensive stuff even if he already told you to stop. Please be mindful of your spending, Mrs. Gray…."
