Nora

Chapter 136:.

Whoosh!

Tanya grabbed the money and threw it at his face!

The impact made Hillary’s head turn to the side. She rushed towards Tanya in fury, but Tanya grabbed her by the neck. The look in her eyes was very cold, it carried some of the fierce and merciless aura that was only present in Nora.

Tanya sneered, “That may have been very effective with me five years ago, Hillary, but I’ve grown up after those five years, why are you still stuck where you were?”

He let go of Hillary and shoved her away. After putting some distance between the two of them, Tanya glared at her and said, “You better keep this in mind: don’t mess with me. I’m not that nice.”

After saying that, she took Pete’s hand again and pulled him forward.

Hillary stayed where she was with the money bills scattered on the floor…. All the parents around her looked at her. The look of disgust in their eyes especially embarrassed her.

They were all from wealthy families. Indeed, it was very low class to solve problems with money!

Hillary lowered her head and picked up the bills. Then she hurried into the car and drove off.

Her cheeks were still burning a little even after she got into the back seat of the car.

Tanya was already difficult to deal with five years ago. She was a feisty woman and not someone to mess with. Little did he know she would be even harder to deal with five years later.

Was he going to let her see Mia every day in the garden?

No way.

After a moment’s thought, Hillary suddenly lowered her eyes.

In kindergarten, Tanya went to the dance studio after sending Pete to class.

She originally only had plans to do some filming for a TV show when she returned to the United States. However, the kindergarten contacted her and told her that Whitney Lowe could no longer teach dance there, so they invited her to be a dance teacher at the kindergarten.

Tanya thought at the time that she would be able to spend more time with Cherry if she accepted, so she accepted.

However, she would only work there for a month because she didn’t want to stay in the United States.

Her daughter had disappeared overseas, so she wanted to return to continue searching for her daughter.

She had never expected that she would meet Joel here….

Gosh.

Just then, some teachers came up to her and said, “Miss Turner, you’re done.”

Tanya was taken aback. “What?”

“The woman you offended just now is Mrs. Smith! We saw her go to see the principal a moment ago. The kindergarten is probably going to fire you!”

“Why don’t you go and apologize, Miss Turner? The kindergarten can’t afford to offend the Smiths and the Hunts anymore here. I hear the Smiths are even stockholders in the kindergarten!”

“The Smiths are the reason no one dares to bully Mia Smith despite how shy she is? It will be really terrible if this blows up, Miss Turner. I hear Miss Smith is quite a nice person. Maybe everything will turn out all right if you give in…”

The teachers explained what had happened, but Tanya instead lowered her gaze.

Hillary really hadn’t learned any better.

Was filing a complaint the only thing she knew how to do after being beaten?

She had already allowed that woman to admonish her the day before, but here she was again.

“It’s all right,” she said dispassionately. I wasn’t planning to stay long in the United States anyway.”

Back then, because of the Lowes, she had been forced to leave the country. After spending so many years abroad, she had now become a dance teacher that even foreign royal families hired. Her contacts were no longer so easy.

Sure enough, just as she was thinking about it, someone came up and said, “Miss Turner, the principal is asking for you in his office.”

Tanya nodded and quietly made her way to the principal’s office.

On the way, Tanya noticed several teachers looking at her sympathetically, but she ignored them all. Soon she arrived at the principal’s office.

The principal personally opened the door for her and poured her a cup of coffee. He said, “Miss Turner, it is an honor for the kindergarten to have you as a dance teacher for a month, but this is just…”

She sighed and said, “Mrs. Smith came up to me out of the blue a moment ago. She told me that she had thanked you for your kindness, but not only did you not appreciate her gesture, you even hurt her in the face, so she demands an explanation from us. I used the excuse that she is not yet an official teacher in the garden to placate her for now…”noveldrama

Tanya frowned. “Are the Joneses that powerful?”

The principal was also very concerned. He replied, “It’s not about the Joneses; I’m not afraid of Mrs. Smith on her own at all. I also want to protect you if I can, Tanya. After all, you have done us a great favor by accepting our invitation after something happened to our dance teacher. However, the ones behind Mrs. Smith are the Smiths and Joel Smith himself. He has always been known as a wolf in sheep’s clothing in New York. Although he seems mild-mannered, he is actually very difficult to deal with…”

The director then said, “Tanya, I can keep you here despite the pressure, but life won’t be easy for you in the future either if you offend Mr. Smith. If that’s the case, why don’t you resign instead?”

Resign?

Tanya bit her lip. “Was it Mr. Smith’s idea to make me resign?”

“Yes, it is,” the director replied with a shake of his head.

Mrs. Smith had said that her husband didn’t want to see Tanya in the garden, let alone come into contact with her daughter….

Tanya clenched her fists.

So he really hated her that much? They couldn’t even remain friends after breaking up?

Her chest felt terribly tight. Compared to having to give up, this realization made her even sadder.

She let out a cold laugh and stood up. “Fine, I quit.”

After saying that, she walked out and headed for the garden gates.

The blinding light of the sun shone on her, making her eyes hurt. She raised her head and blocked the light with her hand. Dust floated in the air under the diffused light, and she could see the specks floating.

She was like one of those dust motes. Her life was always controlled by others.

She clenched her fists tightly.

She wanted to go to Joel and make things right, but she also felt it would be her defeat if she actually did….

At the door, Hillary got out of the car and slowly approached her. She said, “You sure are hard to deal with, Tanya, but I’m not who I used to be either. I’m Mrs. Smith now. Surely you’re aware of how powerful Joel is, right?”.

Tanya ignored her.

Hillary said, “Someplace other than America would be a better fit for you. Go away and never come back.”

Your daughter and your boyfriend from back then…. I’ll take them all with me!

In the classroom.

“Miss Turner has been fired!”

Brandon the loudmouth spread the news. Pete frowned when he heard it. He asked, “Why has she been fired?”

Brandon replied, “Probably because she’s offended my aunt! That would mean she has offended my uncle~ Uncle Joel is very protective of his own! Other than the Hunts, no one in New York dares to offend him!”

‘Other than the Hunts’….’

Pete’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

That meant he could ask the tyrant for help, didn’t it?

He’d just had a great idea!

He immediately pulled out his cell phone and composed a text message to Cherry.

Ten minutes later…

On the top floor of the Smith Corporation office tower, Joel received a call from Justin. The moment he picked up, Justin confronted him and said, “Mr. Smith, surely it’s not very appropriate for you to do that to a weak and impotent woman.”

Joel, “…”

He frowned. “What do you mean, Mr. Hunt?”

“Don’t you think forcing Miss Tanya Turner to resign is a bit much?”

Joel narrowed his eyes. A cold look shot out of them as he asked, “What?”
