Chapter 24 I Am King Here! “Stupid security guards?” Colin stared hard at him, “Deputy principal
Cooper, do you know how much our company paid to rehire these security guards? Do you know how
much their salaries cost us?” Owen shook his head in embarrassment. Colin said coldly, “Who were you
saying was trying to start trouble!” “Secretary Ramos!” Owen gradually straightened up. “Little Professors
has been the best private kindergarten in the district for years. What if our reputation suffers because of
reckless actions from the security guards? How would I explain this to the Principal and to the
company?” Colin lowered his voice, “Then how do you think we should handle this?” Hmph! You won’t be

himself, managed to keep his composure.
“Secretary Ramos, all this started because of him!” Colin’s eyes flashed behind his glasses when he saw
that Owen was pointing at Jacob. Owen had no idea who he was pointing at. He said solemnly, “This
man beat up innocent passersby at the entrance of the kindergarten. He deliberately started a fight with
parents. He even colluded with the security guards…” “Enough!” “Shut your mouth!” Two people yelled
out simultaneously. Owen was shocked to see the captain of the security team and Secretary Ramos
glaring at him. Colin exhaled and waved at Owen, “Deputy Principal Cooper, you are not needed here.
Please go inside!” Jackie jumped to his feet in anger. “Mr. Cooper! You are practically king here! You
don’t need to listen to this meager secretary!” The students will be out in less than ten minutes. Jacob
frowned as he looked at the time. Sensing his boss’ displeasure and impatience, Colin gestured to the

dared to point his finger at their leader.
He indicated to his guards, “Two of you, bring Deputy Principal Cooper inside.” Two guards immediately
stepped forward. “You dare touch me!” Owen raged. “I am king here! You are nothing but simple security
guards!” The two guards did not consider his position. They each took an arm and pushed him into the
school. A parent sighed, “What a strange scene this is!” “Tell me about it!” Another replied. “That is the

Deputy Principal. He’s always acting like some hotshot ever since we met!” “I heard that the kindergarten

nodded in unison. Jackie watched as Owen was dragged into the building. He realized that something
was wrong. He glanced around and slowly started to retreat. Before he had even taken two steps, he felt
like he had backed into a wall.
“Where do you think you’re going? Let me lead the way.” The captain smiled widely at him. But his eyes
were full of dreaded promises. Jackie turned and saw his expression. He shuddered. When did he
appear behind him?!
