In Love With My Ex's Billionaire Father Chapter Thirty
Emily sat with Will that evening, going over the material she had obtained from Principal Thompson. She felt a little relieved, knowing she had a good platform on which to construct her case against Claire. She still needed to connect the connections and establish Claire was the one making the accusations against her."We need to find a way to directly link these complaints to Claire," Emily added, frustrated in her voice. "It is not enough to demonstrate that she has a history of this conduct. We need strong evidence that she is behind the current claims."Will nodded thoughtfully. "We should search for similarities in the complaints, such as similar phrasing or phrases that may indicate they are from the same individual. We may also need to speak with some of the parents who submitted the complaints and determine whether they mentioned Claire."Emily agreed. "I'll start by reviewing the complaints again to see if anything leaps out. Meanwhile, we can attempt to quietly contact a few

Emily and Will walked out of Principal Andrews' office, the tension from the meeting lingering in the air. Emily felt a mixture of relief and worry; although the evidence presentation went well, the ultimate decision remained in the hands of the school board. Will kept a contemplative face as they climbed into their automobile."What's on your mind?" Emily inquired, feeling his uneasiness.Will looked at her, his brow wrinkled. "I can't shake the feeling that Claire isn't working alone."Emily scowled as her thoughts raced. "What do you mean?""Think about it," Will replied, starting the vehicle and driving out of the parking lot. "Claire's been relentless in her attempts to discredit you, but organizing so many parents to lodge complaints seems...extreme, even for her."Emily considered his remarks. "You're saying someone else might be behind this?""Or, at the very least, helping her," Will said. "Claire has always been competitive, but this degree of manipulation requires more than

Emily arrived into Madison Middle School the following morning, filled with both resolve and anxiety. The note from Principal Andrews had kept her up most of the night, her mind racing with potential outcomes. As she reached his office, she took a deep breath and braced herself for what was to follow.She gently tapped on the door and heard a faint "Come in."Principal Andrews glanced up as she arrived, his gaze solemn but not harsh. "Emily, please sit down."Emily sat with her hands securely clutched in her lap. "You wanted to see me?""Yes," Principal Andrews said, folding his hands on the desk in front of him. "I've been reviewing the evidence you presented at the board meeting, as well as additional information that has come to light."Emily's heart hammered. "And?""While your presentation was thorough and compelling, there have been more complaints," he added, his voice full of anxiety. "Not only from parents and teachers, but also from students." "The situation is becoming more

The second board meeting hovered over Emily like a heavy cloud. She'd scarcely slept the night before, her thoughts preoccupied with concern and strategy. As she stepped into the boardroom with Will at her side, she took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders, ready to face whatever awaited her.Board members sat in a semicircle, their expressions a combination of cynicism and interest. Mr. Richards, the chairman, looked up from his notes as Emily and Will arrived. "Ms. Carter, Mr. Davis, please take your seats."Emily and Will sank onto the seats in the middle of the room. Principal Andrews was already there, his countenance inscrutable. The atmosphere was dense with anxiety, and the stakes were greater than ever.Mr. Richards cleared his throat, signifying the beginning of the meeting. "Ms. Carter, thank you for joining us again. After evaluating the new complaints and evidence given last week, we've decided to hold this follow-up meeting to offer you one last chance to resolv

Emily and Will departed the boardroom, their spirits buoyed by their partial win. Emily's phone rang with a with message as they headed down the corridor. She was buried in concentration when Claire Montgomery approached them with a smug look."Well, well, well," Claire remarked with a sarcastic tone. "Looks like you're not out of the woods yet, Ms. Carter."Emily's expression hardened at the sight of Claire. "What are you doing here, Claire?" "Haven't you made enough trouble?"Claire smiled wider. "Oh, I just wanted to check how things were progressing. I hear you put on quite a show in there. But, honestly, I'm more interested in what happens next."Emily narrowed her gaze. "What do you mean?""You really think you've won, don't you?" Claire stepped closer. "The board may be investigating, but don't get too comfortable. I've seen your weak efforts to hide your ineptitude. The fissures are beginning to appear.Will shifted slightly in front of Emily, his look protective. "That is eno

Emily sat at the kitchen table with her hands wrapped around a warm cup of tea. The events of the day had left her exhausted and worried. The second board meeting had been arduous, and although she had managed to present some of the evidence against Claire, it was evident that the struggle had not ended.Will approached the room with a determined air. He put a soothing hand on Emily's shoulder. "Emily, we need to talk."She glanced up at him, her eyes full of concern. "What is it, Will?" "Did you find anything new?"Will took out a chair and sat across from her. "I have been thinking. Claire's position is escalating, and it is evident that she is not working alone. We need to push things to the next level if we want to put an end to this."Emily nodded with a spark of optimism. "What do you have in mind?"Will leaned forwards, his voice low and serious. "I plan to engage private detectives to look into Claire's life. We need to know everything about her—her history, her relationships,

Emily's hands shook as she held the binder carrying the devastating information against Claire. She had read the contents many times, each bit of information strengthening her determination. However, as she went down the hallway of Madison Middle School, her thoughts were drawn to another name: Samantha Blake.Emily discovered Samantha at her job's lounge, seated with a cup of coffee and a stack of papers. The room was empty save for the two of them. Emily closed the door behind her, the click reverberating through the quiet."Samantha," Emily said, her voice firm despite the maelstrom of emotions screaming inside her.Samantha glanced up, her eyes narrowed. "Emily. "What brought you here?"Emily took a deep breath and stepped closer. "We need to talk."Samantha laid her coffee cup down, her expression changing to one of irritation. "I don't have time for this.""Make time," Emily said, her voice tightening. She threw the folder on the table. "You and Claire have gone too far."Samant

"I don't know," Samantha said. "However, we need to decide on our next move. If she reveals us, we are both done."Claire's rage mirrored Samantha's. "I've worked too hard to let this happen. We need to discredit her before she can do any significant harm.""Exactly," Samantha confirmed. "We need to find a way to turn this around on her, make it look like she's the one causing problems."Claire considered for a minute. "What if we spread rumours that she is unstable? We may suggest that she's making it up because she's under too much pressure."Samantha's eyes shone with a wicked glitter. "It's a solid start. We may also exploit her previous connection with Jason against her. Make it seem as if she is still obsessed with him, which is impairing her judgement."Claire's voice was full with resentment. "And if we can get a few more complaints from parents and teachers, it'll look like a pattern of behaviour.""Perfect," Samantha replied with a flash of vengeful delight. "We need to act

Claire stood at the café's entryway, looking around for Samantha. Her thoughts were a swirl of fear and wrath, with Emily's legal lawsuit still fresh in her memory. Samantha was sitting in a corner seat, sipping her coffee with a serious look. Claire took a long breath before slipping onto the seat opposite her.Samantha glanced up, her gaze narrowing slightly. "You look like hell, Claire.""Gee, thanks," Claire said, her tone sarcastic. "I feel the same way. Emily has got me cornered, Sam."Samantha took another sip of coffee, her expression contemplative. "We knew she might fight back, but we didn't expect her to go this far this quickly."Claire leaned forwards, her eyes begging. "What do we do?" If this gets to court, I risk losing everything. "My job, my reputation, everything is on the line."Samantha drummed her fingers on the table, contemplating their choices. "We need to undermine her and make her appear like the one who is lying. However, we'll need more than just words thi

Emily arrived at Madison Middle School the following morning, engrossed with the day ahead. Despite the continued difficulties with Claire and the legal processes, she was determined to prove herself and ensure that the children had a good day. As she proceeded towards her classroom, she observed Claire waiting beside the teachers' lounge with an angry expression. Claire's gaze fixed on Emily, and she marched over with deliberate steps."Emily," Claire said loudly, her voice booming along the silent hallway.Emily paused and turned to face Claire, ready herself for the confrontation she knew was coming. "Yes, Claire?"Claire's eyes blazed with rage. She held up the legal suit and shook it for emphasis. "What the hell is this?" she insisted."It's exactly what it says," Emily said, her voice calm and steady. "A defamation claim. You've been spreading falsehoods about me, and I'm not about to let you damage my career."Claire's face was distorted with wrath. "Lies? Everything I mention

Claire was sitting in her tiny office, scrolling through the day's lesson plans, when a tap on the door broke her concentration. She glanced up and saw Mrs. Thompson, the school secretary, waiting in the doorway with a huge package."Ms. Montgomery, this just came for you," Mrs. Thompson replied, giving her the letter.Claire scowled as she took the envelope and instantly recognized a legal firm's emblem in the corner. "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson," she said, her voice strained.Mrs. Thompson nodded and exited the room, shutting the door behind her. Claire's hands shook slightly as she opened the package, and her pulse raced. Inside, she discovered Emily Carter's court complaint outlining the defamation action against her. Her eyes scanned the pages, her rage building with each line she read."She can't be serious," Claire told herself, her cheeks flaming with wrath. "This is absurd."Just as she finished reading the complaint, her phone rang. This was the principal's office. "Ms. Montgo
