Chapter 1295
Sunlight Kindergarten shot to the top of trending topics due to the food safety incident. Parents started bombarding
the school's group chat and demanded answers. Teachers remained clueless and were hesitant to respond. Lydia
was a coward who proved herself as a money-minded opportunist. She did not dare show her face now that things
were not going well.
Regardless of how the parents asked for an explanation in the group, Lydia remained silent and avoided the heat.
Unable to locate Lydia, the parents somehow managed to get hold of Hylda's number.
Hylda had just caught wind of the news about the school cafeteria, and she was still processing the shock. She
could not believe that Lydia did not bother to give her a heads-up when the kindergarten was under inspection.
One minute, she was strategizing with Sophia about how to counter Stella's next move; the following minute, news
about the kindergarten's kitchen safety was blowing up on social media.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the parents flooded her with calls, Hylda was also on the hunt for Lydia. Hylda did not know what was going on at
first. After picking up a call, she was met with harsh words from the parents.
"You heartless, low-life scum! What the hell have you been feeding my son?! You're making a fortune from this
shady business. Aren't you afraid that it'll come back to haunt your own child?! Why don't you just kill yourself?"
Hylda's face turned dark, as she hung up. Before she could catch her breath, her phone rang again, displaying yet
another unfamiliar local number.
Hylda hesitated to answer. But the parents were not willing to let her off the hook. Soon, a flurry of enraged
messages showed up on her phone.
The parents were fuming, and their messages were highly unpleasant. Hylda's face turned pale from anger. She
switched off her phone and swapped it with another one. She then dashed out of the house without considering her
recent miscarriage and incomplete physical recovery.
She hopped into the Audi A6 she had taken from the Jewell family and zoomed off toward Greenwood Grove.
At that point, there was no need to fight any more public opinion battles. Whether they won or lost against Stella
was no longer important. The real urgency lay in the fact that Lydia's recklessness might lead to Hylda facing jail
time.
Hylda's anger grew, as she drove to her destination. Back when they were co-managing the kindergarten, Hylda
had proposed hiring a principal to oversee things.
Naturally, a principal would demand a higher salary than the average teacher. But, Lydia, the penny-pincher, did
not want to cough up the extra cash. Instead, she volunteered to run the school.
She bragged about managing a relative's kindergarten before and being well-acquainted with the operations."
Handling the kids will be a breeze," she claimed. "We only have to take care of their meals and entertainment."
Lydia also boasted about running a restaurant and being an excellent chef. She guaranteed that the children would
be well-fed.
Hylda was skeptical but decided to give her a shot. She agreed to let Lydia manage the kindergarten for two
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmonths, with the understanding that if things did not pan out, they would immediately find a new principal.
Lydia eagerly agreed to the terms.
During those two months, Lydia's performance was commendable. However, Hylda noticed that she was being
overly frugal with the ingredients. Moreover, she frequently asked the teachers to turn off the dormitory air
conditioner during the summer. She claimed that she did not feel hot.
These two issues irked Hylda. She was practical and believed that they should not skimp on minor expenses when
running a business. She was convinced that parents were willing to spend good money on their children's wellbeing.
Even if tuition and meals had to be slightly more expensive, it would prevent complaints about their services.
Lydia promised to upgrade the ingredients and did so in no time. At that time, Hylda would inspect the cafeteria
every now and then to ensure that Lydia was not lying behind her back. Satisfied, she began focusing more on her
life after her marriage to Albert in the latter half of the previous year. Thus, her visits to the school cafeteria
became less frequent.
Who would have guessed that the issue she had initially been concerned about would end up in such trouble?
'Lydia is such a nearsighted simpleton! I wouldn't have teamed up with that dim-witted liability if I wasn't lacking
funds,' thought Hylda.
