Chapter 205:

? ? ? ? ?

Caden's new relationship was the latest buzz in town. Although he and Alicia had kept their relationship low-key, it had become an open secret among their social circle. Now, with Alicia appearing vulnerable, those who had had issues with her before were quick to jump at the opportunity, eager for gossip.

Mrs. Reyes was particularly eager to get involved. After enduring the humiliation at the Gray family event, Mrs. Reyes was noticeably tense. Accusations from around the world had only increased her embarrassment. With Alicia now in a vulnerable position, Mrs. Reyes didn't hesitate to run into the school and stir up trouble.

Instead of confronting Alicia directly, Mrs. Reyes went to the principal's office. At a prestigious private school, maintaining a good reputation was essential.

After much thought, the director decided to talk to Alicia.

“Miss Bennett, Gerry has spoken very highly of you. With your contacts, I believe you will easily secure another position. “You have been exceptional these past few months and, as an apology, we are prepared to offer you a generous compensation package.”

Alicia stood in front of the principal's desk, prepared for this moment ever since her breakup with Caden. The principal's seriousness was an unexpected relief. She agreed.

"To avoid any disruption to the school, I will voluntarily resign."

The director was startled. “Don't you feel mistreated?”

“Not at all,” Alice smiled, her eyes shining. “I appreciate your recognition. Regardless, I hope we can remain friends. Perhaps we could have dinner tonight?”

The headmaster was not prepared for such a friendly reaction. His favorable opinion of Alice, combined with his feeling of guilt, made it difficult to decline her invitation. He even began to think of a suitable gift for her.
