Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

The three jolly friends began to head inside the school premises.

As soon as they stepped in through the gate, the principal’s voice rang out from the loudspeakers of the school’s public address system: “All students should move to the hall immediately.”

“I repeat, all students should move to the hall immediately.”

Max, Mia, and Martha glanced at one another in confusion.

What was the cause of the sudden order?

That was an impromptu announcement–Mrs. Babington must have a very important message for the students.

__

The school hall was soon flooded with students and teachers–all were keen to know the reason for the sudden gathering.

The crowd was noisy and rowdy. Students were discussing amongst themselves what the reason could be.

“Is our school engaging in another competition?”

“Could it be a football competition?”

“Is she resigning?”

It wasn’t until the principal ascended the podium that everyone fell completely silent.

The students eagerly wanted to hear what the woman had to say.

A few seconds later, Mrs. Babington cleared her throat before proceeding to speak into the microphone.

“Good morning, everyone.”

“Good morning, Mrs. Babington.” The students chorused.

The middle-aged woman pursed her mouth for a few seconds and said, “To be candid, there’s nothing good about this morning.”

This statement caused an uproar among the students. They were more eager to know what was going on.

“Why isn’t it a good morning?”

“What exactly is the problem–is the school getting locked up?”

“Why would Mrs. Babington say such a thing?”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is our school in trouble?”

“Oh my! She should spill already!”

Mrs. Babington kept mute for a while before raising her hand. The students took the cue and the hall fell into complete silence once again.

“It has come to the notice of the school management that some students are engaging in unscrupulous activities. Behaving as though they were scoundrels and rebels… Causing harm to their fellow students by bullying them–it ends today.”

The hall was dead silent. If a pin dropped, it would be heard five miles away from the school premises.

Each one of the students was trying to process what the principal was saying.

Bullies… It began to occur to them, the students she was talking about.

They were now beginning to understand the reason they were suddenly summoned into the school hall.

Mrs. Babington turned her face to her right side, and about eight students emerged from below the podium and came to form a straight line on the podium, near Mrs. Babington.

And that confirmed the students’ suspicions. Right on the stage was Vicky Lewis and her cohort.

Audible whispers broke out from every corner of the hall.

“Everyone, take a good look at these students. They are rebels. They have gone against the conduct of this prestigious school and they’ll be duly punished for it.”

Mrs. Babington proceeded to call the names of the bullies one after the other. Afterwards, she said: “You are all hereby expelled. From this moment henceforth, you’re no longer students of this prestigious citadel of learning.”

All the students below bursted into uproar.

Expelled?!

Initially, Vicky had a nonchalant expression on her face but as soon as the principal said that, her countenance changed and her heart skipped a beat.

Was the woman joking?

It really had to be a joke.

The students couldn’t believe their ears either. They wondered what was going on.

Despite the fact that the reason for those kids being expelled was justifiable, they just couldn’t believe it.

Vicky and her cohort were known to pick on weak kids, disturbing and bullying them…

And the most recent one they were involved in was bullying Mia Thompson-it was very brutal.

Some of them saw the girl when she arrived at school this morning, she had her arm in a cast.

Even right now, the students standing near Mia and her friends were gazing at her arm.

Poor thing. They felt a bit of pity for her.

And to think that the bullies dealt with her mercilessly, twice!

What if she had died?

But then… Was the school management really going to expel those kids?

Even if the rest were indeed going to get expelled-they weren’t a problem-was Vicky Lewis also going to be expelled?

The kids found it hard to believe.

Vicky was the leader of the group.

It wasn’t like Mia was Vicky’s first victim. Several other students had fallen victim to her bully.

In fact, one time, she beat up a girl so badly that she ended up in a coma.

When asked the reason for maltreating the girl, Vicky’s response was that she didn’t greet her when she passed by her.

The issue happened about six months ago. And despite it being a very crucial issue, the school management did absolutely nothing about it.

Vicky’s parents merely offered to compensate the other girl’s parents with money in order to buy their silence, while the school simply reassured the girl’s parents over and over again that such a thing wouldn’t happen again.

But it happened again.

Immediately after the girl woke up from coma and resumed school, Vicky beat her silly. The girl’s parents were forced to withdraw her from the school.

They reported to the police station but nothing was done regarding the issue.

Vicky’s parents were influential and they funded the school immensely.

Her father, Minister Lewis, was a minister, while her mother, Madam Lewis, was a famous businesswoman who dealt in Jade business.

In fact, she’d been the leader of the Parents’ Association of the school for over three years.

So, the kids were a hundred percent sure that the school wouldn’t expel Vicky even if they did the rest of her crew.

Mrs. Babington turned back to face the crowd. “This should serve as a warning to the rest of you. If anyone is caught tarnishing the image of the school, engaging in rugal behavior, I’ll not hesitate to make that person face the same fate as these students.”

“Good day.”

With that, she turned to face Vicky and her cohort, “come with me.”
