Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Summit School of Excellence Academy

Summit School of Excellence Academy is one of the best schools in the country. The students were often young masters or young misses from wealthy and influential families; children of politicians, celebrities, or just those who could pay their millions’ worth of tuition. If not, then the child should be a genius for a full scholarship.

This particular school was known all across Anteca because, for the elites, it was the school for their children to get the best education. As for those who couldn’t afford it, they knew it because of their insane tuition fees and their infamous star section.

Sitting in the headmaster’s office, Charles quickly introduced Penny to the headmaster. Mr. Fairchild sat in the wing chair while gazing at the adorable child sitting beside Charles on the couch.

Seeing Penny’s adorable and soft appearance, his smile was warm and welcoming.

"Penny, this is the school headmaster, Mr. Fairchild," Charles introduced before looking at the headmaster. "Chancellor, thank you for seeing us despite the short notice."

The headmaster waved dismissively. "Mr. Bennet, you don’t have to thank me for that. I understand your circumstances. Moreover, I checked your daughter’s records and found out she’s one of the very few we sent out full scholarship offers last season."

He then shifted his eyes to the young lady and was pleased. Penny had this wide and plump size with eyes so round she looked like a stuffed doll.

Charles smiled brightly. "About Penny’s moving up..."

"Miss Penny will still need to take exams for that," the headmaster explained the situation to Penny and Charles, even though the two were already briefed about it previously. "Our school made an exception for her to skip an entire season because she’s a special case. However, I agree that it’s best to let her familiarize herself with the school and the operations before the school ends."

Penny darted her eyes between the two, keeping quiet as they talked.

"Her exam results will determine which grade she’ll be in next school year. Even so, we’re going to mandate her to enroll in summer class."

Charles nodded in satisfaction. "I see." He wanted to ask if Penny would enter high school next year, but he refrained from asking.

"Then, please, Chancellor, I entrust my Penny to you," he asked politely. "She’s very smart, but since it’s a new school, I’m afraid she’ll find it hard to adjust. Moreover, her brothers were in different buildings. So they might not be able to check on her frequently."

"Of course." the headmaster nodded. "Miss Penny will be placed in the top section, and I’ve already notified her teachers. They already told the students and were asked to be nice to her."

Charles was relieved as he looked at Penny. "Penny, are you ready on your first day?"

"Yes!" Penny grinned until her eyes were squinting. "Headmaster, can I ask a question?"

"Of course, Miss Penny."

"Is bullying being tolerated here?" Her question took Charles and the headmaster by surprise. "Back in my school, some kids used to pick on me. I’m scared that someone will pick on me and not get justice because everyone is rich and the school doesn’t want to offend anyone!"

The headmaster frowned, but he felt more sorry for her. If she was asking this so bluntly, he could only imagine what she went through in her previous school. After all, no child had ever asked him such questions in the past.

"Miss Penny, don’t worry. Our school doesn’t tolerate any form of bullying within or outside the premises. If a report is made, the school will thoroughly investigate. If we confirm that it happened, then the school will take immediate action," the headmaster explained firmly. "Our school upholds our mission and vision and every student — no matter which family they came from — is equal."

"Penny, don’t worry." Charles patted her head. "No one will bully you here."
