A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 213

"Get out!" Jacob pointed at the door, his expression as hard as stone.

"I want you both gone by the end of the school day—your things packed, your asses out! If not, I'll have security throw you out!"

Under normal circumstances, he might have hesitated or compromised for one reason or another.

But now that the Fuller family had spoken, even if he wanted to spare these two, he couldn't.

…

After the second period, students gathered outside for the school-wide exercise break.

The moment it ended, a boy burst into the classroom, grinning from ear to ear.

He hopped onto the podium and announced, "Breaking news! Rebecca and Mr. Tanner just got fired together."

The class instantly erupted into chaos.

"For real?" voices shouted from all directions.

"One hundred percent. Someone saw them packing up their stuff in the office."

"What happened? What did they do?"

"What else? Bullying students, obviously. She used to get away with it in the Regular Class, but she tried pulling that crap in the International Program? No way the principal was gonna let that slide."

"Then why was Mr. Tanner fired too?"

"Oh, come on. You seriously don't know? Everyone in school knows what kind of relationship they have. Some things just take two to pull off."

"Honestly, not mad about getting a new math teacher," someone added with a satisfied nod.

Truthfully, aside from Demi, Rebecca hadn't bullied any other students in the International Program.

But that didn't stop people from disliking her—she was the type to push around the weak and suck up to the powerful, not to mention her shady personal life.

At the end of the day, most people still had some sense of morality.

Charles lazily flipped through his copy of "Brotherhood of the Iron Palm", smirking to himself.

Mission accomplished—there was no need for credit.

…

Meanwhile, at Felix's villa, another conversation was happening.

"Who?" Derek pressed, intrigued.

"You wouldn't know them, Uncle Derek. It's not one of the famous doctors we all hear about."

"Oh? Then you'd better keep them close. If anyone in the family ever falls ill, we'll know who to call," Derek said seriously.

"Don't worry, I've got it covered," Felix nodded.

"When you have time, introduce me to this doctor. Have them give me a check-up," Derek said as he picked up his fork and dug into his food.

"They're not a general practitioner, Uncle Derek. If you need a check-up, just go to a hospital. They're busy," Felix replied, looking slightly exasperated.

"A miracle doctor's check-up and a regular hospital check-up aren't the same," Deren retorted, equally exasperated.

"Just eat. The food's getting cold," Felix said, motioning toward the dishes with his fork.

Derek stopped arguing and focused on his meal.

Neither the Fuller family nor the Harringtons had strict rules about talking during meals, so as they ate, Derek asked about the Harrington family's affairs before shifting the conversation to business matters.

Then, out of nowhere, he looked up at Felix with a sly grin. With a fork in hand, he asked, "Felix, do you have a thing for that girl?"
