Lalisa didn't have any thoughts about them. It was fine as long as they didn't disrupt her. If it weren't for Mr. Yi always causing trouble, she wouldn't have had him dismissed.

However, news of this incident quickly circulated throughout the school. The students were unaware that Mr. Yis resume was falsified.

They believed that he had offended Lalisa, and the principal had chosen to dismiss him due to Lalisa's international teaching credentials.

Bambam was incensed when he heard about this. He said, "Mr. Yi enjoyed oppressing students and preaching useless principles to us. He should have been dismissed long ago!"

Bambam's sentiments resonated with many students. Mr. Yi often expounded on the concept of success in class, implying that students were only valuable because they came from privileged backgrounds and were otherwise worthless in society.

Everyone had been holding grudges against him for a long time, but they hadn't dared to voice their concerns out of respect for their teacher. Now, they were relieved not to have to listen to him anymore.

Upon hearing the news, Yeri couldn't help but smile. She was just worried that there was no reason for Lalisa to get criticism.

After class, she swiftly dialed Namjoon's number and spoke with a concerned tone, "Big Brother, Sister had a conflict with Mr. Yi at school. The principal called them to the office for resolution. I didn't expect Mr. Yi to be taken to the hospital. The principal mentioned he might dismiss Mr. Yi."

She used these carefully chosen words, attempting to manipulate Namjoon into believing that Lalisa was in trouble once again.

After Namjoon hung up the phone, he rushed to Eke immediately and asked his assistant to call Lalisa out. He felt it wasn't appropriate to reprimand her in front of her students.

However, despite the assistant's search efforts in every classroom, he couldn't locate Lalisa. He reported, "I've checked every classroom, but I haven't seen Miss Manobal anywhere."

Namjoon frowned when he heard this, suspecting that Lalisa might have skipped class.

At that moment, Lalisa was getting ready to head out for lunch. Her morning class had already concluded, and she unexpectedly encountered Namjoon on the school field.

Before could say anything, Namjoon furiously asked, "Why aren't you in class right now? Why are you wandering around the field?"

Lalisa didn't want to engage in an unnecessary argument. She was about to explain that she was a teacher, but then Yeri approached them. Upon seeing Lalisa, Yeri let out a long sigh and said, "I'm relieved that Sister is okay. I asked for permission to come find you. I heard about the fight with Mr. Yi in the principal's office, and I was worried you might have gotten hurt."

It further infuriated Namjoon by mentioning this incident. "What exactly happened? Why are you fighting in the principal's office? Do you still have any self-awareness as a student?"

"Big Brother, please don't judge Sister so harshly. There must be a reason for all of this," Yeri remarked thoughtfully.

"I'm beginning to think that maybe she doesn't belong here anymore. It might be better for her to return to the countryside. Her presence would only lead to further trouble." Namjoon sighed.

"In your opinion, I am not a good person. I haven't even said a word yet, and you're already convinced that I'm in the wrong." Lalisa responded, her expression devoid of emotion.

Namjoon made an effort to compose himself. "You don't seem to fit in here. Perhaps it's better for you to return to the countryside. I'll send you money regularly."
