Chapter 354 Where Can We Afford to Offend the Fuller Family?
Sable dialed the number right away.
When the call connected, Sable put her hand on her hip and spoke in a loud voice: "Are you Isabella's mother?"
Gwyneth had just finished an important conversation.
She glanced at the incoming call and answered, her voice cold, "That's right. Who are you?"
"I'm Saskia Fuller's mother," Sable said.
Gwyneth frowned, somewhat impatient. "Who's Saskia? Never heard of her. What are you calling me for?"
Sable was momentarily speechless.
Her tone turned annoyed. "You really are careless. You still don't know what happened? Your daughter caused trouble, you know that? My daughter had a small conflict with her, and she actually reported it to Gabriella and demanded that the academy punish our Saskia! How can someone so young be so inconsiderate? Isn't she afraid of offending people? Now my daughter not only has to face disciplinary action but also criticism, all because of her!"
"If anything happens to our Saskia, the Fuller family won't let you off! She should look at what she is and what our Saskia is - so ungrateful!"
"I wasn't planning to make a big deal out of this, but who knew that Gabriella would be so difficult, so there's no choice." Sable spoke in a commanding tone. "You need to go educate that inconsiderate daughter of yours right now. This matter ends here. Have Gabriella withdraw the punishment against our Saskia! We absolutely cannot let our Saskia's reputation be damaged!"
Sable had it all figured out.
An ordinary family - how could they dare offend the Fuller family?
At the very least, the Fuller family was one of the thirty-six noble families.
What was the Taylor family anyway? She'd never even heard of them.
By making this call to Isabella's mother, the woman would realize what big trouble her daughter had caused and would definitely go to the school to have Gabriella withdraw the punishment. After all, if even Isabella didn't pursue it, what reason would Gabriella have to make a fuss?
Gwyneth didn't know what had happened at school, but listening to the other party's words, her expression turned cold as she could guess the general situation.
As for the Fuller family...
Nolan Fuller's daughter seemed to be named Saskia, so this woman must naturally be Nolan's wife, Sable.
In the Northern Ice Empire, when people married, couples had to take the same surname.
If a man joined his wife's family registry, he would take his wife's surname. If a woman joined her husband's family registry, she would take her husband's surname.
So although Sable was Saskia's mother, she also had the Fuller surname.
Before taking the Fuller surname, Sable wasn't from one of the thirty-six noble families. She had climbed up to the Fuller family and only then changed to the Fuller surname.
"Would a small conflict make my daughter report it directly to Gabriella? Would a small conflict get your daughter punished? Sable, that doesn't make sense, does it?"
"What doesn't make sense?" Sable's tone was sharp and impatient. "My daughter just deleted some data from your daughter's computer, and it didn't actually cause any real consequences, so it was just a joke. But your daughter wouldn't let it go and specifically reported it to Gabriella, having Gabriella punish my daughter!"
"How did you raise your child? How did you raise such an inconsiderate, petty child? Making a big deal out of such a small thing by telling Gabriella - who's going to want to deal with her in the future?"
"Have her go explain to Gabriella right away that this was all a misunderstanding, you hear me? If the academy withdraws the punishment against Saskia, I won't hold this against you."
Gwyneth listened and hung up directly.
Sable: "?"
What did that mean?
Isabella's mother actually dared to hang up on her?
She wasn't finished talking yet!
——
Gwyneth was quite angry. She called Gabriella, her tone cold and heavy. "I just got a call from Sable."
Gabriella hadn't expected Sable to move so quickly - it had been less than ten minutes and she'd already finished talking with Gwyneth.
Gabriella smiled, still planning to say a few good words for Sable. "I gave her your number, Ms. Powell. She apologized to you, right?"
"Apologize?"
Gwyneth laughed in anger.
Was that what an apology looked like?
Gabriella was stunned. "What happened? She didn't apologize to you?"
"Even if she apologized, I wouldn't accept it." Gwyneth's voice was icy. "Right now I just want to know what exactly happened."
Gabriella then told Gwyneth the whole story from beginning to end.
It was indeed similar to what Gwyneth had thought.
That made her even more confused. Since Saskia had been the one to delete Isabella's experimental data, deliberately trying to embarrass Isabella, how could Sable be so self-righteous?
Saskia was only eighteen years old but already had such schemes and used such underhanded tactics - whose education had failed?
Gabriella was also worried about Gwyneth getting angry and could only try to smooth things over. "Ms. Powell, there are many students at the academy. It's actually quite normal for girls to have some conflicts due to jealousy..."
"Normal?" Gwyneth frowned. "Not a single punishment should be reduced."
Gabriella laughed awkwardly. "I know, I wasn't planning to go easy either. Although the consequences weren't serious, the nature of it is very serious."
Gwyneth said nothing more and hung up.
As soon as she hung up, Sable's call came in again.
When Sable had tried calling Gwyneth's number earlier, it had shown as busy. Sable figured that call was probably to Gabriella, likely asking Gabriella to withdraw the punishment.
"How did it go? Did you handle it?" Sable spoke in a superior tone, a knowing smile forming at the corner of her mouth. "Did Gabriella agree to withdraw the punishment?"
She knew it - Isabella might be inconsiderate, but Isabella's mother couldn't possibly be inconsiderate too.
After all, if it could be avoided, who would want to make enemies with one of the thirty-six noble families?
"Withdraw the punishment? You think that's possible?" Gwyneth's expression was cold, her voice equally cold. "I already told Gabriella to punish as she should, without showing any mercy."
Sable's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. "What did you say?"
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Sable was somewhat angry. She hadn't expected someone to be so ungrateful. "Aren't you afraid of offending the Fuller family? Although my husband isn't the clan leader, dealing with you would be more than easy enough."
Gwyneth hung up directly.
Hearing the phone get hung up on again, this time Sable completely lost it.
"You just wait!"
Sable's face looked terrible as she said through gritted teeth, "Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude."
