The next morning, Bella submitted her resignation letter. She wasn't surprised to see Amy already waiting for her in the Director's office. Bella sighed inwardly as she sat on the leather chair across Amy. The latter really complained to the director about Bella's bullying. She wondered when did she Bully this woman. Was she really this shameless?
Bella stared at the smirk on Amy's face.
"Miss Qin, a few students actually complained that they saw you attacked Miss Sy. You actually grabbed her arm and made her cry in front of so many people." The Director was already a man in his sixties. A man known to love his research papers more than creating a good relationship with the other professors in the university. The man was considered a legend in this school because of the number of papers that he submitted in just a year. However, because of this obsession, the Director had the tendency to just believe whatever it is that anyone told him and want to finish the issue as quickly as possible so he could go back to his current thesis. "Is that true?" His aged eyes stared at Bella.
"No," she answered. "But you were already expecting that answer, yes?"
"Miss Qin…"
"I would like to make my resignation effective by the end of the week."
"Miss Qin— "
"Please let me continue director. I am not yet done, talking." Bella's gaze turned stern, a complete contrast to the slight smile on her face. Seeing that the Director got quiet, Bella turned towards Amy. "I want to see the students. I want them to testify in front of the head. I know I am innocent, and I can prove it. I want to prove my innocence before I leave this school."
"Miss Qin, I don't see the need— "
"Then, I will file a complaint to the head's office. I think Miss Amy deserved a fair trial, considering that she was actually bullied by someone, like me, right? It would be unfair for her if we keep this a secret. It is pretty obvious that she suffered a lot of trauma from the incident." Bella didn't miss the surprise in Amy's eyes.
This woman was someone known for using her connections in bullying people. This wasn't the first time she would use some students to help her out with her schemes. And she would always succeed. Amy would always end up the victim while the other teacher being suspended or worse terminated for something that they didn't do. She would always use the same tactics, file a complaint of bullying, with her wetnesses, cry in front of everyone, then beg for the director to lessen the punishment.
If the person would try to fight and call her out on her bullshit, she wouldn't hesitate to cry even more and act like the person was really ungrateful, trying to deny all the allegations when she already begged the director, not to punish the accused.
Stupid, right?
Well, despite how stupid that it, Amy would always end up winning because her father was very close to the director. That fact coupled with the director's laziness to handle issues like this would give Amy the instant advantage.
While Amy hated Bella, this was actually the first time that she complained about her. Of course, Bella knew that this had something to do with what happened last night. She lifted an eyebrow at the director. "I will go to the head right now. I am sure that the director would accompany me, and Miss Sy, right? After all, this wasn't the first time that something like this happened. Miss Sy, had been targeted by a lot of people all throughout the years. The head needed to intervene at some point."
"Miss Qin, I don't think there is a need for that. I can understand the frustration that you felt inside because of what happened in your life. So, I would accept a simple apology from you. I am not an evil person, and I am a woman too. A simple apology would suffice. Then we can forget about the past and just move on with our lives. After all, you are already leaving university, right?" Amy gave a cordial smile. As expected, she started acting like a kind-hearted saint in front of the director, who already knows Amy since she was but a child.
Bella gave her a blank look before she stood from her seat. "I will go to the head's office and file a complaint. I want to hear what the student's witnessed. This is an honest institution. How could we tolerate people lying and ruining other teacher's reputation?" She looked at the director's scowl. "I would request a proper hearing to protect this institution against the student's lies." Without waiting for them to answer, Bella immediately left the room and made an email to the head.
In the email, she stated the current complaint against her and CC'ed both Amy, the vice director, and all directors of the different departments of the university. In her email, Bella expressed some concerns about the students daring to make up stories that could easily ruin the careers of teachers. She also requested for the head to address the bullying that Miss Amy Sy experienced every month.
This bold action surprised a lot of people, as most of them were already aware that Amy was only using her connections to bully teachers. Many wondered if Bella wasn't afraid to have her complaint blow up and become a big issue. Surely, Amy wouldn't hesitate to drag her father to resolve this issue.
Well, they were right. Amy was already planning to drag her father to the head's office to help her out. To her surprise, however, her father refused to go to the university and attend any hearings because of Mo Li's presence. Mo Li and the Mo Family were the known rivals of the Qin family. The two families had been bickering and trying to use each other's dirt against each other. Especially now that that the election is coming in a few months.
Since her father was someone working for the Qin family, he didn't want to make Mo Li use this issue against him and the Qin Family.
In the end, Amy was forced to attend a hearing that was scheduled at the end of the week with the students, the department heads, Bella, and even some teachers like Jen.
"Smart and cunning as always." Mo Li stated when they were having their lunch. After lunch, Bella was scheduled to attend the meeting with everyone else. "Sadly, I can't come. Do you think you can record it or something?"
Bella finished her sushi and nodded. Mo Li couldn't actually come in stuff like this to avoid issues. It was known that Amy's family were supporters of the Qin Family. So Mo Li's presence might make people believe he had something to do with the current situation. "I don't record stuff." She lied, making Mo Li laughed.
Bella didn't tell Mo Li about her evidence and was really secretive about her plans. But for some reason, it felt that Mo Li already knows what she did and what she was planning to do.
