Chapter 269 Threaten Her

“You’re here to defend Olivia, yet are you aware of how low she’s fallen?” Colt couldn’t resist taunting as he caught snippets of their conversation.

“What exactly are you implying?” Maren asked.

“It’s simple, really. She’s merely an assistant teacher now, though that’s a generous description. Truthfully, she’s relegated to performing trivial chores around the office.” Colt’s laughter was tinged with scorn as he

delivered his remarks.

“Is he telling the truth, Ms. Morrison?” Maren was doubtful. Given Olivia’s capabilities, it seemed impossible for

her to be demoted so drastically.

Olivia had been admired as a top educator in the city.

Tears began to gather in Olivia’s eyes, and she looked as if she might crumble. “Maren, please don’t make me

talk about it.”

She was reluctant to confront her demotion.

This explained Olivia’s odd reaction earlier when Maren inquired about her job.

“How could you, you bastard? What have you done to Ms. Morrison?” Maren’s voice rose in anger as she stared down at Colt, who lay on the ground.

Colt retorted, “How is it my fault? She chose this herself! Voutsas Middle School was so financially strapped that it was nearly closing. My father agreed to fund the school but insisted my freshly graduated brother become the head teacher. Olivia stepped down voluntarily.”

The head teacher?

Was that the role Olivia previously held at Voutsas Middle School? It added up.

Years ago, when Maren was a student at Baimsa Middle School, Olivia had held a similar position. Her experience was more than adequate for the job.

Maren finally pieced together the entire situation.

The financial struggles at Voutsas Middle School had reached a critical point, prompting Colt’s father to offer essential funds. However, this help came with a condition: his brother would replace Olivia as the head teacher. Olivia had stepped down from her role to help the school.

“It’s almost ironic. With her qualifications, she could have been a teacher. Unfortunately, we didn’t have vacancies. She didn’t want to displace anyone, so now she’s relegated to menial tasks,” Colt said, his voice dripping with condescension.

“Enough from you!” Maren delivered a forceful kick to Colt’s face.

Chapter 269 Threaten Her

Olivia had always been exceptionally compassionate. During Maren’s middle school years in Baimsa, she had

been a supportive presence.

Maren recalled how she used to run after Wilbur daily, and Offvia had always been there to offer guidance,

which she often ignored.

These four students had bullied Isla and even harbored vile intentions towards her. She wasn’t about to let

them off the hook.

This was also an opportunity for her to stand up for Olivia.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Morrison. I’m here, and you don’t need to fear them. Whatever happens, the Morgan family

will handle it.”

“Maren, please reconsider. Here in Voutsas, local ties run deep. Isla still has to go to school here. We can’t afford rash actions,” Olivia said, understanding the weight of the Morgan family’s influence but still advocating

for prudence.

“So, you think you can intimidate us because you’re not from around here?” Despite being subdued, Colt’s arrogance only intensified upon realizing Maren’s external connections.

The other boys gazed at Maren, their expressions filled with renewed boldness.

Maren’s initial display of confidence and authority had led them to believe she was a key figure in Voutsas. Learning that she was an outsider, however, diminished their fear.

“The Marshall family has strict policies here. Outsiders, especially armed ones, are forbidden from meddling in our local issues,” Adela informed Maren

“Ah, so you’re associated with the Morgan family from Baimsa! I’ve heard they’re quite influential there.” “Indeed, I’ve also heard about them. While their influence isn’t as extensive here as the Marshall family’s, they definitely outrank the Davidson family.”

“Understanding Isla’s strong backing explains why she dared to confront Colt!”

Many bystanders were taken aback by the discovery of Maren’s background.

Since Voutsas and Baimsa are neighboring cities, the renown of the Morgan family was also known here.

“Unfortunately, even with your connections, the Marshall family’s control over Voutsas means you can’t challenge the Davidson family alone,” said a bystander.

Some shared their disappointment regarding the Marshall family’s governance.

The Marshall family devised these rules to protect Voutsas‘ internal stability and dominant position, thus keeping external influences at bay.

“Regardless of your status in Baimsa, here in Voutsas, you’re merely a regular person.” From beneath Maren’s foot, Colt smirked as he taunted her.

“Is that so?” Maren responded with a soft chuckle, now fully understanding the extent of Olivia’s fear of the Davidson family, even with her protection.
