The Medal of Honor's Weight Chapter 2

The principal helped me up from the ground and earnestly advised me, "The Taft family has money and power. You, an ordinary citizen, can't fight them. Sign the settlement agreement early, take some compensation, and let this matter go."

"Continuing to make a fuss will only affect our school's reputation. How will parents outside view the school?"

I was shocked. My granddaughter was bullied at school, and the principal's first thought was the school's reputation, not justice!

I couldn't believe these words came from an educator.

My granddaughter was abused into the hospital by a school bully, and a light sentence about compensation was the end of it?

Shouldn't the perpetrator be punished?

Seeing that he couldn't convince me, the principal lost patience. "Besides, they are willing to pay. What more do you want? Do you have to drive people to death?"

The principal coldly pulled a file from his briefcase and threw it at me.

"If you don't sign the settlement agreement, Lily Zhang won't be studying at our school anymore!"

I couldn't believe it. To protect the bully, the principal threatened to expel my granddaughter. What right did he have to do that?

The principal sneered and said that Tiffany Taft's relatives were judges, and the interpretation of the law was in their hands. I would never win a lawsuit.

The school wouldn't offend the children of leaders for a poor kid like Lily Zhang.

Holding my granddaughter's file, I leaned against the cold wall of the hallway.

An indescribable bitterness pressed on my heart.

We obviously did nothing wrong; why are we the ones getting hurt?
