Chapter 11
The French teacher is a French man with elegant looks. Blythe often talks about him, saying that he’s
her Prince Charming and her crush.
As they walked into the classroom for class, many people looked at Estelle. They must have seen or
heard about what happened earlier downstairs. People’s reactions were mixed, with some admiring
Estelle and others scoffing at her for being stuck-up and not appreciating Saul’s attention.
Estelle seemed unaffected and sat down with her friend, ready for class.
After the class, and Blythe took the chance to get closer to her “crush” by asking questions. Estelle
waited for her in the classroom.
After waiting for 10 minutes, Estelle went to the bathroom as Blythe was still not finished. Just as she
was returning to the class, she bumped into Brooke and her entourage.
Brooke stared at Estelle with a gloomy face, blocking her way and warning her in a commanding tone,
“Stay away from Saul!”
Estelle replied calmly. “You should talk to Saul about that.”
Brooke’s face changed instantly, and she tried to slap Estelle in front of everyone, hoping to help Saul
pick up his dignity. However, Estelle kicked Brooke’s left leg before her hand could even touch her.
Brooke’s leg was broken instantly!
Estelle’s delicate and elegant features would give people the illusion that she is easy to bully. In reality,
she’s quick and decisive in solving problems and never talks more than needed.
An hour later, Estelle was standing in the principal’s office, and Brooke had been sent to the hospital.
Brooke’s father, Murray Hester, was arguing with the school advisor.
The advisor defended Estelle, claiming that it was self-defense since Brooke attacked her first. Murray
angrily. pointed at him, “Why are you protecting this little whore so much? She seduced Brooke’s
boyfriend; she’s clearly not a good person. Are you two having an affair?”
These words made the advisor’s face pale with anger. “Watch your mouth!” The principal backed him

Murray was furious with embarrassment, “I don’t care about what’s going on between you two, but I
demand. justice for Brooke. If you don’t expel this brat, give me back the 10 million dollars I donated to
the school!”
The Hester family was wealthy, and Murray donated 10 million dollars to the University of J City for a
new library last year.
“I contributed to the University of J City, and now you’re treating me like this because of some poor
student? Give me my money back now!” Murray demanded arrogantly.
“Then please give us a few more days, President Hester,” the principal said, unable to come up with 10
millig dollars on the spot. But the principal is a man of letters and has his own moral.
“No negotiation, give it back now!” Murray insisted.
“I’ll give you the money!” A cold, magnetic voice came from behind the sofa. A tall figure stood up and
walked
over.
Murray stared at the man, dumbstruck. “L- Mr. Lamont?”
Estelle, who had been standing in the back, looked up suddenly.

There had been someone sitting on the sofa throughout the argument, his back to everyone, so no one
saw his face.
Estelle was calm earlier, but now she was a bit uneasy, not expecting to run into Jonathan in this
situation, and especially with Murray’s loud accusations, he must have heard everything.
Murray lost all his bravado since Lamont was much more influential.
Mr. Ingram, the principal, said, “Jonathan, this is a matter between the school and one of our students,
don’t need to get involved.”

Murray didn’t know that Mr. Ingram and Jonathan had a friendship, and he quickly put on a smile, “I
didn’t know Mr. Lamont was here. You don’t have to give the money back. I was just kidding.”
Jonathan ignored him, called his assistant to transfer 20 million dollars to the school, hung up, and told
Mr. Ingram, “Give him the interests as well!”
Murray’s face turned pale. He had just offended Jonathan before even getting a chance to kiss up to
him.
Seeing the situation was resolved, Mr. Ingram didn’t say more, and the money was transferred. Murray
left awkwardly, thinking about how to regain his dignity in front of Jonathan.
The principal and the counselor went out together to see Murray off, leaving Estelle and Jonathan
alone in the office.
Estelle felt awkward. She was the Lamont family’s tutor and Henson’s teacher. Now she was standing
here because of a fight, which was paid for by Jonathan to settle the matter.
Feeling that she should say something, Estelle looked up at Jonathan. She was about to speak when
Jonathan said coldly, “Don’t thank me; I didn’t do it for you.”
Estelle held her breath, feeling suffocated by his biting words but managed to say, “I wasn’t going to
thank you!”
Jonathan looked down at her, “Judging by how you kicked Brooke’s leg, have you been trained
somewhere else?”
The surveillance footage in the hallway has been checked, and Jonathan saw it too. At that time
Brooke was imposing, hitting with a quick and hard hand, Estelle did not blink and kicked Brooke in the
leg.
And how could an ordinary girl possibly break someone’s leg with just one kick?
A shadow flickered in Estelle’s eyes, she said calmly, “I had some self-defense training when I was
young.”
Jonathan nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m fair. I won’t expel you because of this.”
Estelle was about to speak when she heard footsteps approaching, so she stopped talking and lowered
her
head.

Jonathan found her pretending to be well-behaved a bit amusing.
Mr. Ingram came in, looked at Estelle and said earnestly, “Estelle, I believe you’re a good student, but
no matter what, you shouldn’t have used violence. Don’t let it ruin your future.”
With her long eyelashes lowered, Estelle nodded gently, “Yes, thank you, Principal.”
“Thank me?!” Mr. Ingram said with a gentle smile, “You should thank Mr. Lamont; he’s the one who
helped you!”
Estelle took a subtle deep breath, stepped forward, raised her head, and softly said, “Thank you, Mr.
Lamont!”
Jonathan’s expression didn’t change, only a hint of mockery shone in his eyes, seemingly teasing her
previous words of not thanking him,
“No need to thank me, but,” Jonathan spoke unhurriedly, “as a student, it’s best to know your place and
not tarnish the century-old reputation of the University of J City with all these messy incidents.”
Estelle’s face paled, biting her lip, not saying a word.

Mr. Ingram stepped in to defuse the situation and redirected the conversation, “I’m terribly sorry for
making you spend 20 million out of the blue. The school will repay it
Jonathan gave Estelle a side glance, “Let her repay it!”
Estelle gasped and stared at him incredulously.
Mr. Ingram thought Jonathan was joking, smiling warmly at Estelle, “It’s getting late, Estelle, you should
go home. School will take care of this.”
Estelle thanked Mr. Ingram again and didn’t dare look at Jonathan. She turned around and left the
office.
After Estelle left, Mr. Ingram invited Jonathan to sit back down and laughed, “Don’t scare her, she’s just
a kid!”
Jonathan smiled lightly, “I don’t think she’s scared at all
