Chapter 49 I Can Bully Too earls Mason’s brows furrowed as he looked at Olivia and asked politely, “Ms. Carter, has something happened?”

Olivia glanced at the people in the room and shrugged. “Not much. This Mrs. Davis, from Davis Group, is demanding justice for her daughter, and my so–called mentor here is cheering her on, trying to get me kicked out of school.”

ceing Mason arrive, Olivia knew she didn’t have to lift another finger.

As one of Liam’s most loyal allies, Mason was also one of Olivia’s staunchest supporters as the Wilson family’s chosen granddaughter–in–law.

Olivia’s calm words made Mason’s face darken instantly.

“They want you expelled from school?” Mason asked.

Olivia nodded. “Yes, and they’re going about it in the most heavy–handed way possible.”

Mason took a deep breath, his icy gaze sweeping over the room. His mere presence exuded an intimidating authority.

Mr. Grayson stared at Mason, finding him strangely familiar, though he couldn’t quite place him.

“How would you like to handle this, Ms. Carter?” Mason asked, already forming a plan but waiting for Olivia’s input.

Olivia rested her chin on one hand, her eyes narrowing as she glanced at Mia and the others. Smiling, she said, “I have a bad habit–I never let grudges slide. Maybe it’s time I try out this whole bullying thing for myself.”

Mason nodded knowingly.

Mrs. Davis, clearly annoyed, snapped, “Stop wasting time. If you’re her family, take this useless girl and leave. Spare us all the embarrassment.”

Mason’s tone turned steely. “No one in St. Rona Academy has the authority to expel Ms.

Carter.”

Mrs. Davis let out a laugh of disbelief. “And who do you think you are? You think just because you say so, she can’t be expelled?

My husband is an honorary board member of this school! Your words mean nothing here!”

Mason raised an eyebrow. “Honorary board member? Luke Davis, correct?”

Mrs. Davis’s face lit up with pride. “At least you know who my husband is. Now, take her and leave before vou embarrass yourself further!”

Pearls Mason’s expression shifted to one of disdain. “As of today, your husband will no longer hold the title of honorary board member at St. Rona Academy.”

“You’re joking! Who do you think you are to make such a claim? I-” Mrs. Davis began to yell, but Mr. Grayson suddenly jumped up, his face pale with realization.

“M–Mr. Shaw! I didn’t recognize you earlier! My apologies!” Mr. Grayson stammered, breaking out into a cold sweat.

lason gave him a cold look. “You heard what I said earlier.”

Mr. Grayson nodded repeatedly. “Yes, sir. I’ll immediately arrange for Mr. Davis to step down from his position as honorary board member.”

The announcement left everyone else in the room stunned.

“You’re lying! My husband has donated so much money to this school! How can you make him step down?” Mrs. Davis shrieked.

Mason replied coldly, “Because the largest donor to St. Rona Academy is named Wilson.”

Mrs. Davis froze, her face draining of color.

“You... You’re with the Wilson family?” she stammered.

Mr. Grayson answered for Mason, “This is Mr. Liam Wilson’s assistant.”

The mention of Liam Wilson sent shivers down Mrs. Davis’s spine. The Wilson family’s influence was unparalleled, their donations to the school dwarfing every other benefactor combined. They could replace anyone at St. Rona Academy with the snap of a finger.

Mrs. Davis stared at Mason, her arrogance crumbling into fear. She had never imagined this unassuming middle–aged man had such a formidable background.
