Elaine couldn’t help but chuckle, laughing out loud, “Mr. Yale? Haha, would he accept such an ugly thing from you? Haha.”
Favian’s face turned darker and darker.
‘Unfortunately, I would take it,‘ Favian thought.
The vice–principal looked down at Laura sarcastically, “You want to give such an ugly thing to Mr. Yale? He would find it ominous just by seeing it. How dare you even think of giving it to him?”
Laura couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. “Why can’t I? He is my uncle. He made breakfast for me this morning, and we agreed that I would give him a gift. But now it’s ruined.”
The vice–principal burst into laughter. “Mr. Yale is your uncle? Stop joking. How could he…”
Suddenly, his laughter came to an abrupt halt, and he looked extremely absurdly at Laura. “Mr. Yale is your uncle?”
The teachers who were listening to the class were also shocked and looked at Favian.
Even Ava was surprised, stiffening as she looked up at the man sitting in the middle.
Favian was dressed in a simple white shirt paired with dark trousers, appearing composed. Amidst the gaze of the crowd of villains, he casually nodded.
“Yes, I am her uncle,” Favian replied.
The vice–principal was struck dumb, frozen on the spot.
His lower lip trembled, his voice quivering, “Mr… Mr. Yale… so, Laura and your family name… are the same?”
Favian’s eyes flashed with sharpness. “Yes.”
The vice–principal was left dumbfounded.
Ava took a sharp breath, her face drained of color. “Why didn’t you say this earlier?”
Favian calmly stared at them, his gaze piercing through them. “If I had said it earlier, I probably wouldn’t have seen your true faces, right?”
The two were instantly speechless.
The vice–principal suddenly slapped his thigh, and excitedly grabbed the artwork from Laura’s hand, trembling as he praised, “Good Heavens. What a piece of art with such artistic value. Look at this child’s artistic talent, she should be the one getting the highest score. I can guarantee that all the votes will go to it. I’ve even come up with a name for it, let’s call it ‘My Principal Uncle“,”
Elaine couldn’t believe it. “How can something as ugly as Laura’s win the championship? My little umbrella deserves to win. Her piece is simply not up to standard.”
Laura had calmed down by now, but upon hearing this, she became even more furious, her voice squeezed out through

gritted teeth, “Who told you this is my work?”
Elaine frowned at her.

She grabbed the small pumpkin lantern that had been placed on Sheryl’s desk. “This is my work. I just lent it to Sheryl. Didn’t expect that, did you? Otherwise, the one that got stepped on would have been this, right?”
Every word she uttered was strong and forceful.
Elaine’s head buzzed. ‘Was this her real artwork?
‘And it’s such a beautiful lantern?‘
Children exclaimed one after another, “Wow. It’s so beautiful.”
“It looks like the pumpkin lantern I bought before.”
“Laura is so amazing.”

Sheryl ran to Elaine’s seat and picked up the small umbrella, holding it up high. “Everyone, look, which one looks better?”
They all chorused, “Laura’s looks better.”
Elaine was incredulous, looking at Laura.
Laura’s expression was determined. “You keep calling me an orphan, saying kids from orphanages cause trouble. But I often help the staff there with crafts at the welfare home. What you make can’t compare to me. Because I’ve been doing it for two years. I’m more experienced.”
The classmates joined in the uproar. “Yeah. The small umbrella looks so tacky, not classy at all.”
“Yeah. The floral pattern on the small umbrella is so ugly.”
“The little pumpkin lantern is so pretty; Laura’s hands are really skillful.”
“Compared to the small umbrella, the little pumpkin lantern is the best–looking one, it even has a spider web on it.”
“Lala, I want to be friends with you, can you give it to me? I want it too.”
“I want it too; I want it too.”
“Elaine is so bad, she deliberately damaged other children’s things, Ms. Cortez, can you punish her?”
Elaine’s breathing became increasingly rapid, and she became even more at a loss for words. “I… I didn’t mean to.”
Favian lightly picked up where she left off, “There are surveillance cameras in the classroom. If you were intentional, it would be clear at a glance. If it’s true that you deliberately destroyed someone else’s work and mocked the children’s backgrounds, with such despicable behavior, our Skyline Academy will definitely not accept you.”
Laura snorted heavily, “Exactly. You are despicable.”
Elaine’s heart sank, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. “But I really didn’t mean to. You can’t wrongly accuse me.”

Favian stared at her coldly and said, “Stop lying. I saw everything clearly just now. I could pull up the surveillance footage for you, that’s already the greatest mercy I could show you.”
Favian then turned to the vice–principal. “As a vice–principal, if you can’t discern right from wrong in a timely manner and treat people differently based on their backgrounds, it goes against the ethics of teaching. It seems you’re not qualified.
You’re dismissed.”
The vice–principal’s face turned pale instantly, his lower lip trembling. He shook his head in panic. “Don’t…”
Favian didn’t give him a chance, turning his gaze to Ava. “The two of you, pack up and leave, right now. I don’t want to see
you anymore.”
The other teachers looked on in shock.
Skyline Academy was the top–ranked private school in Hestrya, with a renowned reputation.
If they were dismissed from here, it would be difficult to find another school of this level that would accept them.
They would only continue to be demoted, and their income and job prospects would suffer greatly….
Wasn’t this self–sabotage?
Fortunately, they hadn’t offended Laura.
Ava was on the verge of tears, wanting to plead. “Mr. Yale, I…”
A cold gleam flashed in Favian’s eyes. “Are you waiting for me to drive you out?”
She and the vice–principal were stunned, regretfully lowering their heads, then stealing a glance at Laura. ‘Please help us
plead for mercy.”
They truly had no idea she was Favian’s niece.
But Laura simply ignored them.
She didn’t want to speak to those who had wrongly accused her.
Seeing her avoid them made the two even more anxious, but Favian stood in front of Laura, firmly blocking their way.
“Leave.
Helpless, the two could only slink away like disowned dogs.
Robert walked straight to the platform. “Now, Elaine, please step forward.”
Elaine trembled as she faced the platform, too scared to speak.
Favian looked at her indifferently. “As a five–year–old child, you’ve already learned to hurt others with your words and actions. Your conduct is unacceptable. I’ll have to call your parents”
Elaine’s eyes welled up instantly, and she retorted defiantly, “Mr. Yale, if you’re going to call my parents, what about Laura’s parents? She pushed me just now; can she just get away with it? I’m hurt, and I’m in pain all over.”

Laura was called out by name and looked up at Favian.

She saw Favian leaning against the edge of the podium with his long hands, giving her a casual glance, his gaze becoming even more determined and composed.
“I am her parent. If you have any complaints, let your family come to me,” Favian replied.
Laura was surprised.
Elaine was left dumbfounded.
