Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Third person's POV.

Edward found himself in the school the very next day, and the school welcomed him well, he didn't even know that the world have heard what happened inside the court house, but he noticed the way, everyone kept staring and pointing fingers at him, while others looked at him with pity.

It was the head mistress that he first met, and she greeted him warmly.

"Oh Dr Edward, so great to see you, what brings you here? She asked, as he walked into her office. He took his seat, then relaxed himself, before he started.

"My daughter is gone, my wife took her". He thought she would be surprised, but he was the one that was surprised, for she only nodded to affirm it.

"I heard about it from a friend. I heard she came back with a strong force, and she won the case against you. I am so sorry, but what is really wrong with our society today, don't they know that someone like her, cannot be a good mother to Whitney? And they said you were violent with Whitney was that true? She also wanted to hear from the horse's mouth.

Edward was indeed surprised, but he recovered immediately.

"Since she left, it hasn't been easy for me, so getting angry a little was expected, but since the court only saw that bad part of me, and decided to take my daughter away from me, then I guess I don't have anything to do, than to accept".

"Yes, I heard how you just consented to all they said and even apologized, that is what every one is talking about, they say you are a real gentleman". She added, looking at him admiringly, which made him happy, that though he didn't know the world already knows what he thought to be a secret, the fact that they could find a positive part of what he did, made him very happy.

"You know me, I am a very gentle person by nature, but Samantha tried to ruin my life, but I will not let her, I will get my child back, after I am able to prove to them that she isn't a better parent".

"I am willing to help, just tell me what you want, tell me and I will help you with anything.

"I need to know about all her students, because somehow, I have this strong feeling that whoever is helping Samantha, is one of the people that were around during that time". He says and she smiles knowingly.

"We had other evidences that came up much later, but since she was already exiled, it was not necessary to raise it again, but if you are thinking one of my student is helping her, then it must be the same person she was accused of having an affair with". She says, making him shocked at the revelation.

"How do you mean? He asked.

"The young boy, who just lost her parents at the time, came into the school as a disguised Billionaire, making every one believe that he was in the school on scholarship, but very few persons who knew him, told us everything". She says, almost whispering this time, as if someone might be listening.

"Who is this secret billionaire? He asked, getting more interested in the story.

"He is Craig Anderson, the only grand son of the Anderson, the president of the Apple international technological industries". She says with a knowing smile.

"That explains the strong force behind her". He says and she nodded too.

But since he has always been very wealthy and he likes her enough to want to help her now, why didn't he help her before? He just stood and watch her go through such humiliation? Edward asked, unsure of the what to actually believe.

"One of his friends, who was threatened to keep quiet, told us in confidence that it seems it is the boy who was actually flirting with the teacher, though he was speaking in defense of the teacher. He said that he had noticed that the boy usually keep drawings of him and his teacher, and he even uses computer to create images of him and his teacher in intimate positions, and somehow, one of the image leaked, and that is what was used.

It wouldn't have gone that far, if some students didn't testify against her, saying they have actually seen her in bed with the boy, and the boy couldn't say anything, he was quiet, and his silence was seen as an evidence against her". Edward knew that part, when he heard about the affair, he used it as an opportunity for him to get rid of his wife, for fear that she might want to expose him, for what he feels she knows, so he paid those bullies, to testify, but he wasn't about to say all that now, he has gotten what he needs, so now he just needs to look for a way to spoil whatever it is that the boy is trying to build with her.

"Thank you so much, you have been very helpful, but I guess I cannot fight a man so big as the Apple, so I am just going to allow fate, take charge". He says and after exchanging pleasantries, he left her office, while she stares at him pitifully.

He messaged Joe, telling him everything he had learnt, and he also felt handicapped, but there will always be something they can use to fight the apple, and they were willing to find that thing that they can use to fight him or maybe just letting the sleeping dog lie, would be the best thing to do, but somehow, he knows that if he doesn't attack them first, they are likely to attack him, but if everything goes back to how things used to be, he could freely run his business, before he would loose the job of a distro in the district.
