CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: THE PARENT-TEACHER MEETING BEGINS, LORD JING GETS A LECTURE

"So, this is Claire Green’s family, their looks are really off the charts!"

"Didn’t they say she’s adopted?"

"Who cares? The fact is there’s a handsome guy at her parent-teacher meeting, and if they aren’t related, I wouldn’t believe it."

The crowd watched their interaction with envy and surprise, whispering softly.

Olivia Song saw this scene, and her hand suddenly clenched, fingernails digging into her palm, lips pressed tightly together.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

How could Claire Green know such a man?

"Olivia, have you seen that man before?" Sammie Ziegler asked, frowning.

Olivia Song thought about Claire Green’s changes during this period and bit her lip, "Never seen him before, maybe he’s the one backing her up."

Upon hearing this, Sammie Ziegler’s face turned uglier. Even though they hadn’t made it public, her every word and action would still affect the Song Manor.

Thinking of this.

Sammie Ziegler, driven by anger, withdrew her hand and strode towards Claire Green.

Not even considering that her actions might further disgrace the Song Manor.

Her face was dark, and she spoke with disgust. "Claire Green, stop right there for me."

This shout in the crowd was particularly attention-grabbing, and for a moment, all eyes were on the two of them.

Claire Green heard the voice, irritation filled her eyes, and her face showed defiant ferocity as she abruptly turned around.

Sammie Ziegler was frightened by her expression, but forced herself to calm down and angrily accused, "Who is this man? You’re so young, and you’ve already learned to seduce people. You have no shame, but the Song Manor can’t afford to lose face."

Silence followed those words.

Fury surged in Claire Green’s eyes. She loosened her collar and, under everyone’s gaze, slapped Sammie Ziegler directly.

After finishing, a hint of wickedness appeared at the corner of her lips, "Try saying that again."

Sammie Ziegler was stunned by the slap, covering her face with her hand, trembling with anger, staring at her with eyes full of rage.

Olivia Song, feeling the gaze of those around, pressed her lips together, stepping forward to support Sammie Ziegler, and almost tearfully said, "Claire, how can you hit your mom?"

Standing by, John Sinclair snorted, "What kind of mom? I remember my sister Olivia is an orphan."

Olivia Song choked for a moment, resentment brewing within, "But we adopted her, legally speaking, we are a family."

People around nodded, acknowledging the truth in her words, but felt the words of Mrs. Song were too harsh.

Julian Sia looked at the mother and daughter before him, his gaze cold and slow, with an edge.

"A family can also not be one."

Olivia Song looked at him in disbelief, meeting his icy gaze, a chill running down her spine, what did he mean?

Seeming to explain, George Xyler slowly spoke, "Just a matter of changing records."

"You..." Olivia Song stepped back, intending to speak further, but was interrupted.

"No rush to offer your face, there will be more opportunities in the future."

Claire Green’s overly delicate features held a hint of arrogance and wickedness, her lips hinting at a wild smile.

"Claire... Green," Sammie Ziegler practically spat out these words through clenched teeth, giving a hateful glare, and pulled Olivia Song towards the teaching building.

The surrounding onlookers, after witnessing the drama, felt it wasn’t enough, especially those who had greeted Sammie Ziegler before, now wore bright smiles, relieved from the situation.

The Song Manor’s reputation was indeed shattered now.

Julian Sia squinted at the two figures, a flicker of coldness in his eyes.

"Olivia, let’s go quickly, it’s about to start," John Sinclair checked the time and reminded.

...

Soon, a few of them arrived at the classroom. Claire Green turned to the man beside her, her eyes lifted, lips curling up carelessly.

"Brother, you can still change your mind now."

Julian Sia, hearing this, his thin lips curled up lazily, "Looks like Olivia didn’t do well in this exam."

Beside him, Isabella Xyler and others chuckled softly, knowing Olivia’s performance was nothing short of appalling.

Claire Green clicked her tongue, "Just okay, have a psychological preparation."

Julian Sia raised an eyebrow, interest sparked in his eyes.

John Sinclair’s father, upon seeing Julian Sia, had a cautious expression ever since, now sitting together, unable to stop trembling inside.

But seeing his son and that girl’s interaction, their relationship seemed good. This kid finally did something right.

"Julian, I have a feeling something will happen to you today," George Xyler turned his head, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Julian Sia gave him a faint glance and said blandly, "Have you been spending too much time with Mason, and getting too idle?"

Seeing this, George Xyler shrugged, turning back his head. A man’s sixth sense should sometimes be trusted.

Very soon.

Grace Carter came in, holding a roll, seeing the parents seated below, smiling contentedly.

"Welcome, all parents, today is our first parents’ meeting since the school started, quite significant indeed."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sparse applause arose below.

"On Monday, we conducted the monthly exam, some students’ scores remained stable, while some are striving to improve.

Grade 12 is the most critical period for students, I hope all parents will encourage their children to focus on learning..."

As Grace Carter spoke, she distributed the results in her hand to every parent.

She paused when handing it to Julian Sia, hesitating whether to give it or not.

Instead, Julian Sia stretched out his slender fingers to take the paper, glanced down at the scores on the report card, and chuckled.

Zero in all subjects, truly just okay. How did Olivia manage to score this?

As time ticked by, the parents’ meeting approached its end, and Grace Carter softly said, "Thank you, parents. This concludes our parents’ meeting."

With that.

She glanced at Julian Sia, pondered for a moment, and still decided to speak, "Can Claire Green’s family stay behind for a moment."

Hearing this, Julian Sia chuckled lightly, realizing he was about to be lectured.

George Xyler didn’t expect his prediction to come true, giving him an ’I told you so’ look, and slowly left the classroom.

"You must be Claire Green’s brother," Grace Carter came down, smiling as she spoke.

Julian Sia calmly replied, "Yes, is there anything else, teacher?"

Grace Carter hesitated for a moment but couldn’t help asking, "Do you know about Claire Green’s performance in this month’s exam?"

Actually, she intended to address this matter publicly but thought better of it considering Claire Green’s temperament, deciding it was better to speak privately.

Julian Sia responded nonchalantly, "Did something happen?"

Grace Carter, with a troubled expression, briefed him on Claire Green’s performance and antics since school started.

In the end.

She added, "It can’t go on this way. Since you are her brother, you should teach her well."

Julian Sia, watching the person before him, talking incessantly, found it somewhat amusing, experiencing what it felt like to be lectured for the first time, understanding why Olivia asked that way.

"Alright, I’ll teach her well when I go back," Julian Sia agreed, his response carrying subtle undertones.

As Julian Sia exited the classroom, George Xyler, full of curiosity, approached him, "What did the teacher say?"
