From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 225

“I’ve recorded everything you both said. I’ll let Sanderson know what really happened. By the way, in case you forgot, Sanderson personally approved the aid fund in the first place.”

Laurinda hadn’t planned on mentioning Sanderson’s name, but she was done letting people walk all over her. She’d learned how to stand up for herself since she was a kid. The resources her parents left her weren’t just for decoration.

Right in front of the principal and the two staff members, Laurinda pulled out her phone and called Sanderson.

As soon as his familiar voice came through, all three of them looked like they’d swallowed a lemon. They clearly hadn’t expected Laurinda to actually know the director.

“Sweetheart, what made you think to call your old uncle?” Sanderson greeted her, sounding a little surprised but happy to hear from her.

“Sanderson, have you heard about the fake claims on the aid fund at The Cabinda School?”

“I have. My staff told me about it, and I’ve already sent people to help with the investigation. Don’t worry, this is serious. Once we get the facts, I won’t go easy on anyone. The students who took money they weren’t supposed to will have to pay it back and the school will officially reprimand them. It’s a matter of character. As for any teachers who helped cover it up, the Board isn’t going to let it slide. We’re still deciding exactly what to do.”

Laurinda sat back on the couch, glancing at the three people across from her. She could barely hide her smirk as she saw just how hopeless they looked.

“Are you in your office now, Sanderson? If you’re free, I’d like to come over. There’s something I want to talk to you about in person.”

Sanderson sounded even more cheerful now. It had clearly been a while since he’d last seen her.

“I’m in my office. I’ll wait for you.”

Laurinda ended the call and turned to the three people standing there, their faces pale. Her tone was calm and matter-of-fact.

“If there’s nothing else, you should head out. The equipment in the infirmary is pretty expensive, so I need to lock up.”

The principal looked like he wanted to argue, but one look at Laurinda’s expression told him there was no point. He and the two staffers followed Laurinda out of the infirmary.

Babur, the staff member who had been giving her trouble, still didn’t look convinced. She tried to defend herself.
