When their eyes met each other, Luca wondered if she was sitting too far away and that was why she could not see clearly.

Luca could feel the fear in Mrs. Hudson's eyes when they exchanged glances with each other.

Why did the arrogant woman who threatened to get Tommy expelled from school yesterday have a fearful look in her eyes when she saw Luca today?

Luca saw Mr. Hudson open his mouth. It was as though he said something really short. Then, the two of them walked toward her.

Ashley seemed to be afraid of Mrs. Hudson. She immediately leaned on Luca.

Luca held the two kids in her arms, one on the left and another one on the right.

She had to protect them.

Mrs. Tuffey came in when the two of them had just taken two steps forward. Mrs. Tuffey smiled as she stood on the podium. “Dear parents, please be quiet and return to your seats. The parent-teacher conference is starting soon."

Mrs. Hudson turned around and glanced at Mrs. Tuffey. She eventually pulled the man to Charlie's seat and sat down on the chair.

Charlie's seat was a few rows away from Tommy's.

Luca no longer looked at them.

Mrs. Tuffey waited for the parents to sit down. Then, she said, "Class, please welcome the principal of the school to give his speech."

After that, Mrs. Tuffey connected the computer to the projector. The principal appeared on the screen.

The principal's speech was mostly about how much they were concerned about the students' development and how to improve the students' learning abilities. They also taught the parents how to cooperate with the school to educate their children well.

It was always the same thing. Luca listened to it absentmindedly.

At last, the principal announced that the school would be building a new academic building, and he told everyone to look forward to it.
