Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 352

Zack probably felt emboldened by Roger's dislike of me, which was why he dared to treat me this way.

As I expected, Roger quickly came over after hearing the commotion. He glared at me and demanded sternly, "What's going on?"

Zack immediately played the victim. "Mr. Hopkins, you asked me to collect the textbooks. When I got to him, he refused to hand it over. While arguing over the book, I accidentally tore the cover, and he hit me!"

Roger shot me a furious look. "William! Collecting textbooks was my decision. What right do you have to refuse? What right do you have not to hand it over?"

I coldly responded, "What, Mr. Hopkins? Why are you only listening to his words? Aren't you going to hear my explanation?"

"What is there to explain? Are you saying that Zack is lying?"

I chuckled. "If he's not lying, then does that mean that I'm the one lying? I haven't even spoken, and you're already jumping to conclusions. You're such a principled teacher, aren't you?"

"What do you mean by that? William, are you saying that I'm not qualified to teach you? If you think that, fine then. Get out of my class. Find someone else to teach you. I'm done with you!" Roger roared.

"Fine. I won't attend your classes anymore. What's the big deal?"

I sneered at him, showing no intention of backing down.

Who did he think he was? He was just a teacher. Did he think he could have complete control over everything?

He was quick to publicly slander and insult a student without asking for the whole story. This would probably have been devastating if it had been someone like Benjamin, who had a more sensitive and fragile sense of pride.

There were many cases of students jumping from buildings after being insulted and humiliated by teachers. I couldn't stand people like Roger.

"However, before I leave, I'll settle this matter. Zack, you tore my textbook. So, you'll replace it with a new one, now!"
