Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1182

Vera’s expression grew darker. It was impossible that Zoey hadn’t caught her velled threat.

Her tone hardened as she said, “There’s no need to escalate this matter so much. I’m fine with an apology, but expulsion is too extreme. It’s just a petty altercation between children. Expelling someone over such a trivial matter would only make people think Gracewood Women’s Academy is blowing things out of proportion.

“Mrs. Prince, if you won’t think of your own daughter, at least consider the academy’s reputation. If word gets out that my daughter was expelled over this, it will only damage the academy’s standing.”

Her earlier threat to Zoey had now subtly shifted to threatening the academy itself.

Carissa’s smile was cold and dismissive. “If we don’t expel Ms. Quinton for hitting another student, that will be what damages the academy’s reputation. We invited you here to handle. this matter with some dignity, Mrs. Quinton.

“Those who need to apologize and make amends should do so, and the situation should be explained so that both families don’t hold grudges because of the children’s actions. But the expulsion is non–negotiable. If you’re unwilling to have your daughter leave voluntarily, I will take the responsibility of seeing that she’s removed.”

Rosalind’s response was unwavering, “I insist on her expulsion. It was only due to the intervention of Mrs. Ashford and Lady Carissa that Ms. Quinton was given the opportunity to leave with some dignity.”

Catherine waved her hand. “Just have her withdrawn. Arguing further will only upset everyone.
