Chapter 149 - A Trip to School (3)

21 January, Dominic's School, City K.

"Military vehicle, military personal and most importantly military brats do not belong here. This is the elitist school in the city, which only the best children can and should be allowed to attend. There is no way that includes a military brat, so take the sc.u.m away," responded the angry woman, who started to approach Matthew and Lexi. Matthew immediately reacted and placed Lexi slightly behind him to protect her should the situation deteriorate further.

"Ma'am, please calm down. My wife and I both attended this school when we were my stepson's age. We both want him to have the best education that we can provide for him."

"Who cares if you both attended this school. My bet is that you were poor children someone took pity on and gave a scholarship for you to attend. How could they afford for you to be here, and that means that your son does not deserve to attend here. He is not an elite, and this is a school for the elite in this city."

The attitude of this woman made Lexi see red. She had passed her several times dropping Dominic off to school in her Porsche, and she never commented. Now, she was looking down on them simply because of Matthew's occupation. Regardless of what the state of their marriage was, that was unacceptable. Lexi snapped out, "Elite, who in the world are you madam?"

"My husband is a vice-president at Jax Corp, you idiot. Everyone here knows that…"

On hearing those magic words of the family company Lexi knew she had the power. Matthew while wanting to shield Lexi knew this was a fight she wanted to have and let her move from her position of safety. Matthew though to himself that this woman had no idea about what was about to hit her. But Matthew was not ready to relax himself, in case the there became a physical threat to Lexi.

Lexi, quickly responded "With a wife who acts like you, speaking without knowing all the information, I wonder how long he will keep that role?"

"How dare you threaten me and my husband. You know nothing. From everything my husband tells me, the members of the Yao family involved in Jax Corp are idiots. He is the one that knows what to do and in everything but name he runs the company. Without him, based on what he tells me, and to be realistic what people here know, there would be no company without my husband."

Matthew, hearing this bit the inside or his lip not to laugh. He could see Lexi was about to verbally pounce. Turning to Matthew she said, "Do you think Chester would be interested in that comment?"

"Chester and Phillip would burst out laughing at that comment, and Andrew would …"

"Who cares about your Chester, Phillip and Andrew they are nothing."

Lexi turned from Matthew and said "They would be highly interested given your comments. Plus, I do not think your husband will have a job past today."

With that she started to move towards Lexi. Matthew moved Lexi behind him and said "Ma'am I apologise we forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Matthew Rong, and my wife's name is Lexi. Her maiden name …"

"Who cares about you, you are nothing."

"Ma'am, before you interrupted me, I was about to say my wife's maiden name is Yao."

"A common name, that means nothing. You have wasted so much of my time. I will have that brat of a son of yours kicked out of this school within an hour, and you cannot stop me."

Lexi, having had enough said "Well, I guess I will just call my big brother's and have your husband fired. There is no way I want my family company employing someone who not only misrepresents is role within the company but allows his wife to use his position to bully others and damage the company's reputation."

"You cannot do that."

Lexi was sick of this. She pulled out her phone and dialled Andrew's number, immediately placing the call on speaker phone. Andrew answered within three rings and said "Lexi, what can I do for you?"

Lexi deliberately looked at the troublemaker and could see that she recognised Andrew's voice.

"Andrew, Matthew and I have run into a little trouble dropping Dominic off at school. Apparently one of your vice-president's wife is using his position to bully others at the school. She tried that with Matthew and I today. Plus, she is claiming that her husband truly runs the company, not you and Chester. It does not look good for the company. Can you deal with it?"

"Send me the name darling little sister, and I will."

"Thank you, big brother."

After ending the call, Lexi turned and seeing a pale woman said "Do you want to retract those comments about my son, my husband and I? As you heard, and do not deny that you did not know the voice, I saw your reaction, all I have to do is give my brother a name, and your husband's employment will be terminated."

"And before you think about going running to other businesses screaming about how unfair the situation is, all my husband has to do is supply your husband's name to his brother Phillip, the head of JL International and between the two of them, your husband will have no chance at securing a management job at any company in the city let alone anywhere in the country."

Lexi could see that she had the woman backed into a corner, and she quietly said "Sorry" before making her escape from the area.

Meanwhile she heard Matthew quietly laughing about the whole situation. Lexi turned and said "Matthew..."

"You handled that well Lexi."

Once the woman was out of sight three other women approached her and told Lexi about what she had been doing. That was information she knew had to be passed onto Andrew as he needed to control his senior management and ensure they knew the consequences of letting their family members engage in such poor behaviour.

When Lexi was finished Matthew said, "We need to speak to the principal about Dominic, so we can both head off?"

Lexi nodded and the two of them headed into the school towards the administration building.
