Chapter 122 Seducing an Older Man? Alexander stood protectively in front of Allison and Mia, his eyes locked on the dean. "Got any objections? Speak up." The dean, sweating bullets, looked at Alexander.
These parents were something else, ignoring their daughters' love lives and going after Allison, who was a model student. She was the top student in the city, a star at Willowbrook High. The dean knew where his priorities lay. "We checked into this and found nothing. Mr. Carter, don't worry, we won't expel a student over baseless claims," the dean said.
Alexander nodded, pleased with the dean's response, then turned to the fuming parents.
"If these parents aren't happy with the school, let's process their kids' withdrawal. If Willowbrook High doesn't meet their standards, they must have better options," Alexander said flatly.
The parents' faces fell as soon as Alexander finished speaking.
Just then, someone pushed the door open and, seeing Alexander, hesitated before greeting him.
"Mr. Carter, what brings you here?" Richard Walker asked.
Richard was Declan's cousin and worked at Declan's company, so he knew Alexander well.

"It's about my daughter, Katya. She's in the sclass as Mia. Katya, cover and say hello!" Richard said. Katya, shocked, walked over to Alexander. She'd heard of him but never met him. She never thought Alexander was Allison's guardian, and Mia called him uncle.
"Hello, Mr. Carter," Katya whispered.
Allison and Mia, standing nearby, couldn't help but giggle.
Especially Mia, who clung to Allison's sleeve, almost bursting into laughter at Alexander's stern face.
But everyone's attention was on Richard's introduction of Alexander.
So, this was the famous Mr. Carter from Skycrest! "Is he really Mr. Carter?" someone asked, stunned.
Richard proudly introduced, "Of course. By the way, Mr. Carter, what brings you here?" Richard then turned to his daughter Katya. "Katya, why did the teacher call me? Did you get into trouble again?" Katya, feeling a bit overwhelmed, looked at Allison and Mia, fearing she might get a scolding at home.
"It's nothing, Dad. It's all a misunderstanding," Katya said, looking to Allison and Mia for help.

Allison stayed expressionless, while Mia snorted and stayed silent. Nola, however, explained the situation. Learning that Katya had offended someone connected to Alexander over a boy, Richard was furious.
"Katya, you've really outdone yourself. Your grades are terrible, and now you're dating? Let's go home. I'll deal with you there!" Richard said, pulling Katya along.
Nola wanted to step in, but she had other matters to handle in the office.
Meanwhile, Briar's parents were scrambling. "Mr. Carter, this is all a big misunderstanding! Briar, cover here and apologize to your classmate! Please, Mr. Carter, don't take it to heart. I promise, Briar won't bother your family again." Briar knew who Alexander was, but she couldn't believe girls like Mia and Allison had his backing. She jumped to conclusions. "Allison, Mia, I can't believe how shameless you are! Trying to seduce an older man at such a young age. It's disgraceful!" Normally, a simple apology would have smoothed things over.
But Briar's slander only made things worse. In a fit of rage, her father slapped her.
"Shut up! All you do is cause trouble. Do you want to get kicked out of school?" Briar's father threatened.
Briar covered her face, her hatred for Allison growing.
"Mr. White, since Briar dislikes this place so much, let's expedite her withdrawal. We can't let her affect the others!" Alexander wouldn't tolerate anyone hostile towards Allison, so Briar had to go.
In the end, Briar was dragged away by her father.

Outside, Richard was laying into Katya. "How many times have I told you? Who do you think gotwhere uncle I am today? Your uncle Herrespects the Garter family, and you dare mess with Mr. Carter's niece? Are you out of your mind?" Katya covered her ears, looking miserable. "How was I supposed to know Mia was Mr. Carter's niece? No wonder Allison is so close to her!"
Richard, frustrated, tapped Katya on the forehead. "Use your brain You got into this school thanks to your thanks uncle. If you offend the Carters, I'll lose my job, and we'll go bankrupt!" Katya nodded, genuinely scared.
Sure, Cameron was handsome, but ruining her life over him wasn't worth it. She knew what mattered more.
"Dad, I know I messed up. I promise I won't mess with them anymore," Katya said.
Richard snorted. "Good, and you e should also try to get on their good side. Your uncle's company is closely tied to the Carter family. If you can leverage that connection, it'll be good for you. You usually seem smart, but how could you be so foolish now?" Katya sighed, realizing it all cdown to Yasmin. If it weren't for her misleading, Katya wouldn't have had such prejudices against Allison and Mia.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. I'll apologize to them later. I won't do it again!" Katya promised.
Richard nodded and headed back to work.
As Katya walked back to the classroom, she ran into Yasmin and approached her. "Yasmin, I need to ask you something."
