555: Chapter 555

Chapter 555

Vincent's smile faltered once he heard what she had just said. His eyes turned sharp instantly, and they glinted with hostility as he asked again, "I can't hear you. Repeat it."2

Mrs. Andrew was even more terrified now. She felt that her life was on her throat.

But she didn't want to back off, and she knew there was no way out other than facing this monster anyway.

So the Old Principal gathered her courage and repeated, "I will tell the media that you're sleeping with so many parents in the school, and you've deliberately set up plenty of bullies to hurt your own child! I will also tell them that you're abusing your wife!" She yelled. "Vincent Gray, do you realize what will happen if I tell the media about this? Your career will be over! You will be done for! You should be scared!"

"Oh, I guess you're right," Vincent nodded. Then he acted exaggeratedly as a response, "Oh no, what should I do? I don't want my career to be ruined! I don't want everyone to hate me! Tell me, Mrs. Andrew, tell me what you want? I will give you everything, just don't tell everyone about my sins!"

Mrs. Andrew knew that Vincent was just playing around right now. Maybe he didn't take her seriously. Maybe he took it as a mere threat that wouldn't affect him because nobody dared to stand their ground against the terrifying Mr. Vincent Gray. 

But she was different.

She would do everything as long as she could keep her job as Principal, even if she had to face Vincent Gray. 

"I will keep my mouth shut as long as you let me keep my job. I don't need anything else. It's not that hard to fulfill, right?" Mrs. Andrew asked.

"Hm, I guess so," Vincent sighed. "Please don't tell this to anyone. I don't want my career to be ruined. I have so much to do, and I don't want the company to be ruined because of my fault!"

Mrs. Andrew was actually surprised because she didn't expect it'd be so easy for Vincent Gray to yield. She really expected him to argue with her because of the threat.

Had she known earlier that Vincent was so easy to scare, she wouldn't have to beg on her knees, "T—Then, it's a deal. I can keep my job and you can also keep your secret."

Vincent nodded, "Deal, please don't tell anyone about this."

"I won't, as long as I get to be Principal until my death. It's not so hard right? I don't want to intimidate you, Mr. Gray. But you really leave me no choice," Mrs. Andrew said. "But since you agree on my conditions, then I won't tell anyone."

"Good, thank you," Vincent said.

Mrs. Andrew tried to get up from her kneeling position, but her old bones weren't strong enough to get her up. 

She struggled to get up, and Vincent caught it fast, "Oh? You can't get up on your own?"

"Oh— Yeah, old body, it's difficult for me to get up from this.'

"Let my staff help you then," Vincent took a deep breath and shouted. "MARIA!"

SLAM!

Maria slammed the door open upon hearing her boss' calling her. She saw the old woman who was kneeling on the floor and then proceeded to kick her from behind.

Mrs. Andrew shrieked when she felt a strong kick from pointy heels from behind. She tried to get up to see who dared kick her, but the woman behind her quickly stomped her on the shoulder and pressed the sharp tip of her heel until Mrs. Andrew screamed in pain.

"AHHH! STOP! STOP!"

Vincent chuckled and leaned back on his sofa again, "Maria, our Mrs. Andrew here said that she can't get up because she's too old. Would you like to help her?"

"No," Maria replied curtly. "I've heard everything, and I know that she is threatening to ruin the company by telling the media about it. I will not let that happen, Sir."

"Good," Vincent scoffed. "Well, you know what to do then."

Maria nodded. She pressed her heel and stared down at the old woman who was writhing in pain because of Maria's ruthless kick. For an old woman, Maria seemed to have no brittle bone in her. 

She was still as strong as she used to be when she was young and still as ruthless. Mrs. Andrew talked with Secretary Maria a few times before, and she always thought that Maria was just an old woman who was dedicated to her job, just like her.

So she had a sense of camaraderie with Maria.

'But it seems that I made one mistake,' Mrs. Andrew thought. 'Maria— this woman has no heart.'

"Do you want her breathing or not, Sir?" Maria asked. She was still calm even though she actually gave an option for Vincent to just kill the old Principal and toss her body somewhere.

"Well, she told me that she will leak all of my secrets to the media if I don't keep her around as the school Principal. Do you think she deserves to live or not, Secretary Maria?"

"Not at all, Sir," Maria replied curtly. Her gaze grew colder as she kept her eyes on the old woman under her, "She dares to threaten you and threaten to ruin the company. I will not forgive that."

"Then you can do whatever with her, just keep it clean," Vincent gave out the order.

Mrs. Andrew's body turned frigid in an instant. She tried to process what Vincent had said just now, and once she realized what would happen to her next, she started struggling like a mad woman.

"LET GO! LET ME GO!" 

"Tsk, what a nuisance," Secretary Maria lifted her heel for a split second and stomped on the back of Mrs. Andrew's head instead. Mrs. Andrew was at Maria's mercy now because every time she struggled, Maria would press her heel harder until it was hard for Mrs. Andrew to breathe.
