Chapter 33: Confronted Him

The English representative saw what was going on. He and Kevin used to be in the same class and were friendly, and naturally, he was worried about him. It suddenly occurred to him that Kevin seemed to be under Sophia's protection.

As a teacher, it was difficult for Ms. Schultz to get involved or speak her mind; but Sophia was a student. She wouldn't have to worry about that so much. And so he hoped that Sophia could help Kevin.

He quietly slipped out of the office and ran back to the classrooms.

It was break time, and Sophia was explaining a math problem to Melissa. It was not difficult, but Melissa didn't have a very solid foundation of understanding. Sophia had explained it several times to her, but she still didn't quite get it.

The English representative saw Sophia in the classroom. He ran over, "Boss, a woman who is calling herself Kevin's stepmother, came in and made a fuss. She's in Ms. Acheson's office now. Do you think you should check it out?"

Sophia frowned. She hadn't expected Linda to come to school. She thought that after the last time, the woman would step back. But, it seemed she underestimated Linda's greed.

Sophia was glad that Kevin wasn't in class. It was better to fix it without involving him.

She stood up and said, "Okay. I'll go take a look."

With Linda's unreasonable manner, she would certainly be making it difficult for the teachers. They couldn't deal with her freely. But Sophia did not need to worry about that. She was the head of the Sister Alliance. There was nothing she dared not say or do.

As she left the classroom, she saw Melissa following. She didn't want this to involve anyone else, so she asked Melissa to go back. But Melissa insisted on coming too.

As they got to the door of the office, they heard Linda's voice, "I don't care! Both the money and the house, at least half of all of it should be mine! I can't be a stepmother and get nothing! I'm not leaving until I see Kevin!"

"Whether you leave or not, the school is not going to give you what you want." Sophia's voice, icy cold, cut across Linda's ranting as she strode into the office.

Ms. Acheson was surprised. She waved her hand at Sophia, "This has nothing to do with you. What are you doing here?"

"I came to use the phone," Sophia answered.

"The phone…why, what's wrong?" Ms. Acheson asked, confused. Couldn't Sophia see she was in the middle of a situation here, what was she doing using the phone at this time?

Sophia turned to Linda, "If you want to get part of the legacy, take it to court. What's the use of coming to our school to make trouble? Do you really think it's going to help you, harassing Kevin here?"

Linda was a little intimidated when she saw Sophia, but she gathered herself, thinking that she was in the right, "You are just a student. What does our family issue have to do with you? What's wrong with the teachers in this school? Letting a student get involved in things that don't concern them. If you don't get her under control, I will tell everyone that your school is run by the students!

Sophia ignored her, went to the corner of the office, picked up the phone, and dialed, "Hello, the police, please."

The whole office was stunned.

It was not that the school had never called the police, but Linda hadn't been violent, so it seemed a little extreme.

Sophia continued speaking, "There's a woman at our school who is making trouble. She is trying to extort one of our students without good reason. She is also threatening the teachers… I think she's dangerous."

Linda angrily shouted, "What are you talking about? How am I a dangerous person? You're bullying me! Go ahead, call the police! What am I afraid of? The money is mine, and I'm sure the police will help me get it back."

Ms. Acheson's initial impulse had been to stop Sophia from calling the police, but when she heard what she said, it seemed very reasonable. It would be a good way to resolve the situation. The police could bring the situation under full control.

The police arrived very quickly.

When Linda saw the uniformed policeman, her rage was momentarily muted.

Sophia gave her a look. She knew this woman was a cowardly bully. Once the police arrived, she wouldn't dare make a scene.

The police asked both sides about the situation and finally told Linda, "If there is a dispute over the estate, you can sue and go through the appropriate legal channels. However, it is illegal for you to come into a school and start threatening people. If you don't stop, it could get more serious, and you could even end up in jail."

Linda was stunned when she heard the word "jail" and said, "How come? I'm just asking for the money that belongs to me."

The police explained to her, "You think the money belongs to you, but there is no legal basis. If you really feel you are right, I suggest you sue. If the court decides that the legacy belongs to you, they will help you recover it according to lawful precedent."

Linda ground her teeth, "Okay, fine, I'll sue! I need this money. If I can't get the money, I'll... "

She saw the policeman standing beside her, and hurriedly swallowed her last words.

Sophia walked slowly to Linda, staring at her and said, "You really want to sue?"

Linda raised her head, "That's right. I'm going to sue Kevin till he loses everything!"

The police on each side shrugged helplessly. Even if she won, the most she could get was half of the property, right? How could that make the defendant lose everything? How big was the feud between this woman and her stepson?

Sophia smiled, looked her in the eye, and said deliberately, "Well, you wait and see you. Be sure you don't regret it! It's a good opportunity to settle old accounts."

Linda Barber was taken aback, "Old accounts?"

Sophia ignored her and turned away. It was time for class, and she went straight back to the classroom. The police were there anyway, and Linda wouldn't dare to make a scene anymore.

Had Linda not come to make trouble, Sophia would have let her old grudges with her go, but now that she had brought it up, Sophia didn't mind settling the accounts that she didn't have time to deal with in her previous life.
