Chapter 852 Am I Dead to You?

The next second, Alexander and the Dean of Admissions, Ms. Dolly, strode in. “It seems like this isn’t the

people’s school. It is more like the Zorn Family’s school!”

Alexander’s tone was vicious and full of contempt, and they were like a hard slap on Fenris’ face. Even

Ms. Dolly next to him was worried on Fenris’ behalf.

Fenris was so frightened by the look in Alexander’s eyes he didn’t know where to put his hands. Some

time had passed before he wiped off his cold sweat and sheepishly tried to explain, “It is just a

misunderstanding, Mr. Griffith. I am only punishing the students!”

“Misunderstanding?” Alexander rolled his eyes. “The Dean and I heard everything about the bet when we

were outside. You are obviously trying to go back on your word now. Is that not the case?”

“Um…” Fenris was still wiping off his sweat when he tried to ease the tension with a smile. “Oh, children

don’t know much. It was just a joke. It’s alright!”

However, Alexander refused to budge. “You sure have a silver tongue, Mr. Zorn. However, I am afraid

you have forgotten that this is a school. It is a place of education. What right do you have to educate

children if you can’t even promise the fulfillment of the most basic principles of life?”

The air in the office was instantly filled with tension, and it was hard to breathe. Seeing this, Ms. Dolly

quickly spoke up to mediate. “Mr. Zorn, why don’t you apologize to the children? It will be fine as long as

you do so!”

“Huh? Oh! Yes, yes.” Fenris was confused at first, but he quickly collected himself and looked at the

children in an attempt to butter them up. “Irvin, I was just joking earlier. That bet doesn’t count. I will

apologize to you now. How about you be forgiving, good children and forgive me, alright?”

Alexander’s eyes suddenly darkened as a murderous glint flash across them when he heard those

words.

He could tell that the Dean and vice-principal were trying to evoke the children’s sympathy and let them

have the shorter end of the stick. Foxes, he fumed.

He was just about to say something to fight for his children when Irvin replied, “No can do.” The boy had

an indifferent face as he explained, “A real man never goes back on his words. As long as I don’t agree,

you can’t one-sidedly break the deal. The deal still stands.”

Fenris’ face swiftly fell at the boy’s words. “Child, it is not good to be so stubborn. Let’s do it this way

instead. Ymir, you and your sister can all stay. You and I will both compromise. How does that sound?”

“No!” Irvin insisted, making Fenris completely lose his patience.

“You are still saying no?!” Fenris’ face was stoic when he warned, “Don’t push it, Irvin White. There is a

limit to my patience.”

Irvin raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes as he spoke in a cold voice. “From

beginning to end, it was Ymir who caused the conflict. Mr. Zorn, not only did you not investigate the truth

of the matter, you insisted on doing it your way by wanting to expel my sister and I, even though we are

the victims. When that failed, you tried to kick us out by making a bet with me. We were the ones who

have been putting up with all of this, but why does it sound like you are the one who was wronged?”

Fenris was caught speechless at that. After struggling to answer the child, he finally turned angry from all

the embarrassment. “Just look at your attitude—how dare a student nitpick on a teacher?! I don’t think

you know what it means to respect your teachers!”

His way of changing the topic was the same as when women were unreasonable. With how they would

blame it on the other party’s attitude when they couldn’t win the argument, they could always complain

about someone else while they themselves had taken the moral high ground.

Alexander wasn’t at all worried despite seeing Irvin on the verge of being taken advantage of. Instead, he

waited for the boy’s reaction.

Sure enough, Irvin reacted by turning around to take his laptop. He clicked a few buttons before a voice

recording was played back.

The recording happened to be about Irvin and Fenris’ deal about how Fenris would expel Ymir from the

school if Irvin could fix the computer system.

Now that both the witness and evidence were here, Fenris no longer had a way to worm out of this

pickle.

Everyone’s gazes fell on him then. They were like sharp knives that were brutally stabbed at him.

His fists were clenched as his displeasure became evident on his face. He could imagine how humiliating

it would be if something like this were to blow up for a man his age.

He would never bring shame to himself.

After Fenris gave it a thought, his gaze suddenly turned sharp. He was already snatching the laptop out

of Irvin’s hand the next second before he slammed it against the wall.

The screen instantly turned black when the laptop hit the wall and fell on the floor.

Ms. Dolly was shell-shocked by what she had just seen. With her hands next to her mouth, she shrieked,

“What are you doing, Mr. Zorn?!”

Fenris was swiftly back to looking like a gentleman. With an empty smile on his face, he pushed the

glasses on the bridge of his nose. “I apologize. Menopause must have come to me a little late, which is

why my temper is unstable. I apologize for the embarrassing display. But don’t worry, I will pay you back

double.”

He came to a pause before bending his torso. As he inched toward Irvin, he hummed, “What a pity. You

probably can’t show us the evidence you claimed to have.”

However, Irvin was in no hurry. After thinking for a while, he walked over to pick up the computer before

patting it carefully and sandwiching it between his knees and elbows. “It is alright as long as you mean

your words about the double compensation this time.”

Narissa was the one who bought Irvin the six-million laptop. Even though it wasn’t broken, Irvin thought it

was worth it to scam as much money as he could from Fenris.

“Of course. Just tell me how much.” Seemingly having nothing to fear, Fenris arrogantly raised his chin.

Irvin was about to speak again when Alexander interrupted, “Am I dead to you, Mr. Zorn?”

Without the evidence, Fenris no longer had a weakness that Alexander could hold on to. Hence, the

former immediately got rid of his previous pathetic exhibit and chided, “The issue between Irvin and I has

been resolved. Please don’t interfere, Mr. Griffith!”

“Threatening, show of violence, and limiting the freedom of speech… This is how a prestigious school

resolves issues, huh?” The corners of Alexander’s lips curled upward coldly. “If that is so, I will let you

experience not having someone redress injustice on your behalf!”

“Ms. Dolly!” He raised his voice, his intimidating aura overflowing even though he still kept his anger at

bay. “Tell the principal that a Mr. Griffith will use Smith Co.’s influence to make this school disappear from

the face of the earth if Mr. Fenris Zorn and his beloved grandson aren’t removed from the school within

an hour!”

“Yes, sir! Please give me a minute!”

Dolly’s legs were all wobbly as she ran outside while making a call on the phone she had just taken out

of her pocket.

She knew that Alexander could even turn 10 international schools upside down with Smith Co’s financial

resources. She had no wish to become unemployed.

Fenris, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. “Are you crazy?! You would get on every parents’ bad side

for the sake of two children who aren’t even related to you?!”

“What else should I do, then? I can only resort to unreasonable means when I am dealing with an

unreasonable man.”

As Alexander nonchalantly explained, Fenris couldn’t help but notice how similar Alexander’s demeanor

was to that of Irvin’s when the boy was claiming to be innocent.

In that instant, Fenris had an impression that the two were actually father and son.
