Chapter 1264
After hearing what the chubby lady said in the morning, the sudden suspension of classes in the afternoon
inevitably led to assumptions.
The parents kept calling the kindergarten for the whole day, and the vice principal only responded in the group chat
at night.
[Dear parents, I understand your concern, but we are facing some difficulties at the moment. There's a dispute
over the ownership of the land that we lease, and the other party has demanded that we cease operation in the
kindergarten. As long as this matter is not resolved, we have no other choice but to comply.]
One of the parents asked, [How long is this going to take? And, how long will the classes be suspended?]
The vice principal replied, [I’m not sure about that. It depends on whether the other party is willing to compromise.
If they aren't, we might need to take this matter to court.]
The parents started panicking.

fees. Why should we bear the consequences of your actions?]
[That's right! Eighty percent of the parents here have both spouses working. We only send our children to your
kindergarten for the whole day because we don't have time to take care of them. What are we supposed to do with
our children now that the classes are suddenly suspended? Who's going to take care of the children?]
[Why didn't you inform us about the land dispute when we paid the meal fees yesterday? Did you just get the news
today?]
The vice principal replied, [I understand how all of you are feeling right now. We don't want to see something like
this happen either. I asked the principal about it just now, and she's deeply sorry about the situation. She promised
that she'll do everything in her power to resolve this matter. She knows that all of you are concerned about your
children's education, and she takes full responsibility for this matter. So, she told me that any parents who wish to
withdraw their child from our kindergarten will be fully refunded with the tuition and meal fees for this month as an
apology.]
It was already halfway through the month, yet the school was willing to offer a full refund. It seemed as if they were
indeed facing a very tough dispute.
The parents only wanted to resume classes as soon as possible, not to transfer their children to another
kindergarten.
Although many of them had complaints about Sunlight Kindergarten, they knew very well that it was the best
kindergarten in the area. The teachers were known to be very patient, and it eased the worries of many parents.
While transferring to another kindergarten seemed easy, no other kindergartens in the area could accommodate
hundreds of children. All of the parents preferred to send their children to a nearby kindergarten to avoid the
hassle of commuting far distances. Not only that they would not know if the kindergartens would accept their
children, but transportation would also be another problem.
So, the parents stopped being assertive as soon as the vice principal mentioned the option of withdrawal.
After some time, another parent asked, [Ms. Lynch, can you tell us what exactly is going on? How did the dispute
escalate to the point of going to court and suspending classes?]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe vice principal responded, [The land originally belonged to the ex-wife of Ms. White's husband. His ex-wife had
used it as collateral for a loan to repay her debts, but she became comatose before the mortgage could be settled.
[However, Ms. White's husband collected enough money and managed to redeem the land. Ms. White thought that
it would be a waste for such a big land to go unused, so she decided to run a kindergarten here with Ms.Night.
[Some time ago, the ex-wife's daughter came out of nowhere and wanted this piece of land back. We have no idea
where she got the title deed from, but she's claiming that the land was left to her by her mother.
[In fact, her mother had mortgaged the land, and Ms. White and her husband are the people who repaid the loan.
However, due to some technical issues, they could not get the title deed for a long time, and that was why the
daughter managed to take advantage of this situation.
[We initially wanted to settle this peacefully, but she demanded five million or we have to cease all operations in the
kindergarten. We are worried that she might cause a scene at the kindergarten and affect the children, so we had
no other choice but to temporarily suspend the classes.
[Please rest assured that Ms. White has already appointed a lawyer and is actively resolving this matter. We will
ensure that the children can get back to school as soon as possible.]
