36. A Powerful Figure

The shocked Sophia turned to look at Ryan, stunned by what had taken place.

When their eyes met, Ryan gave her a mischievous little wink. His tiny face was filled with triumph.

Amelia was just as shocked, but in her case, it came with a dose of horror. "What... What did you just say? My child paid the money and applied to join the camp! Why are you suddenly saying that she couldn't join? Explain this instant!"

The principal didn't seem to mind her raised voice. He began explaining in a relaxed manner, "Ryan's family sponsored the summer camp activity in full. The Anderson also sponsored our kindergarten's teaching building and entertainment facilities. Since your child can't get along with Ryan, I appreciate it if you can leave."
