Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit-Chapter 672 - 668: Don’t Be a Coward Who Fears the Beginning and the End

Chapter 672: Chapter 668: Don’t Be a Coward Who Fears the Beginning and the End

The anonymous voting quickly came to an end, as the principal had promised.

As a result, all parents and students signed their full names neatly on the ballot.

One of the parents articulated everyone’s thoughts.

“Signing our names represents our determination to stand against bullying and say no to it! This is our brave first step.”

The parent’s words were met with rounds of applause.

These claps, like a slap in the face, served as a harsh reality check for Mrs. Kirby and a few other parents.

A few parents’ faces were flushed with various shades of red and green, a telling sight indeed.

The class teacher then began counting votes on the chalkboard.

At the request of the parents, each vote was read out loud with the student’s real name.

With Timothy Dunn being the last student to cast his vote for Option B, all 27 votes unanimously went for Option B.

The principal took the result of the votes from the teacher and immediately announced it.

“According to the voting results of all students and parents, there are 27 votes in total. All 27 votes went to Option B. This means that the students who participated in the bullying must make a public written apology to the victims, and the school will expel them from the register immediately. Also, from the advanced class to the university, our school will never admit these students. In addition, the school will record their misconduct in their academic records as a warning!”

Having announced the result, the principal signaled for the security guards to escort Anderson Kirby and three other students and their parents to the principal’s office.

When there were only 27 students left in the classroom, the principal once again commended Richelle Dunn, Timmy Lewis, and Timothy Dunn for their courage.

It seemed that the bullying incident had finally come to an end and was resolved satisfactorily.

However, in reality, Roy Lewis’s investigation and surveillance of Anderson Kirby, Hizkia Kingston, and several parents were still ongoing.

How long the surveillance and investigation would continue would depend on their performance moving forward.

After the bullying incident, the school held a school-wide music competition.

As a student in the advanced class, little Tifanny Dunn excelled on behalf of her classmates, and within a week, won the gold medal for the piano category in the school music competition.

Meanwhile, after a week of time, Tifanny’s popularity and buzz on the school forum nearly rivaled her two older brothers’, making her the new campus favorite.

The day after Tifanny won the gold medal, the principal called Richelle Dunn.

“Dr. Dunn, our school is currently recruiting for the international department, and I’d like to have your three children, along with some senior high school students, to do a promotional advertisement.”

Richelle hesitated, “Principal, I’m sorry, but I have to consider this because my children are still very young, and too much attention and excess limelight might cause them discomfort.”

Of course, this was just Richelle’s excuse.

In fact, she was not worried that attention and limelight would affect her children’s growth, but rather that excessive exposure might put their personal safety at risk.

The principal expressed understanding, “Alright, I hope to hear your good news soon.”

Turning to Roy Lewis, Richelle brought up the matter.

She thought that Roy would, as always, prioritize the children’s safety first.

However, Roy’s attitude this time surprised her.

“I think we should seek the opinions of the children first, shouldn’t we?”

Richelle was somewhat taken aback, “You mean, as long as they agree, you’re okay with it?”

Roy looked at her with a puzzled expression, “Didn’t you say we should treat our children with the same respect and consideration as an adult?”

Richelle did say that and had always abided by this principle in her interactions with her children.

“But this concerns their safety. Isn’t this what you’ve always prioritized?”

Roy nodded.

“Of course I prioritize their safety the most. But as parents, shouldn’t we do everything we can to let them live according to their wishes and guard them along the way?”

Upon reflection, Richelle realized he was right.

If they always used their children’s safety as an excuse to decline every opportunity and possibility, their future might be limited as a result of their own hesitancy and risk aversion.

“Alright, let’s ask for their opinions.”

At that moment, the three children were playing in the playroom. When they saw their parents enter together, they happily rushed over to hug their parents’ legs.

“Daddy, Mommy, are you here to play games with us?”

In front of them, they were still the same lively and adorable little darlings.

Richelle wiped the sweat from their faces and bodies, and the family of five sat cross-legged in a circle on the floor.

“Sweethearts, the principal called me and said he wants you three new students to join in this year’s school recruitment advertisement. Are you willing to participate?”

Without a moment’s hesitation, the three children crisply replied to her.

“I’m willing!”

Richelle had anticipated this response.

The children of her and Roy, after all, were not the kind of fearful kids who would cower in the face of terror and adversity!

Terror might be strong, but as long as they were stronger than the terror, they could handle it!
