My Daughter's Work Won an Award, but the Credit Went to a Classmate Chapter 3
Ursula finally turned toward me, suppressing the displeasure on her face. She barely managed to bow deeply."I'm sorry, Mrs. Ramirez. I didn't handle my emotions well yesterday. It won't happen again. Please forgive me."Seeing her attitude, I crossed my arms and said nothing. It was Kenneth who stepped in to smooth things over."After something like this, there's no way you're getting nominated for Teacher of the Year," he said. "Tomorrow, you should apologize to Holly in front of the class. If this happens again, you won't be teaching here anymore!"Ursula's face twisted for a moment, but she ultimately said nothing. Kenneth turned to me, his tone more diplomatic now."We'll make sure the teachers' behavior is closely monitored from now on, Mrs. Ramirez. What do you think?"The meaning was clear—he wanted to drop the matter and move on. Considering that Holly had only six months left before graduating, switching schools now would be tough for her to adjust to. Plus, the apology

The next day, I arrived early with Holly at the kindergarten. The outdoor art exhibition had already been set up. When Holly saw the plagiarized artwork displayed in the most prominent spot, she was about to feel proud, but before she could say anything, she grabbed my hand and pointed at the picture, her eyes brimming with tears. "Mom, that's not my drawing!"I gently patted her head, but before I could speak, a woman dressed in expensive clothes walked up to me and sneered. "That's my son's state-level award-winning piece. Of course, it's not yours." It was Tobias's mother, rumored to be married to a wealthy businessman. Both parents and teachers seemed to rush to flatter her. She had been the first to stir trouble against me in the class group chat the last time.I pulled Holly behind me, not backing down. "Well, winning an award with stolen work is certainly embarrassing," I retorted.Her face twisted with anger. "What are you talking about?" She suddenly seemed to r

The moment I spoke with unwavering authority, both of their faces changed. They were the last ones who wanted this to escalate. Ursula looked at me with a frown. "Our director is very busy! Do you think he has time for petty complaints like this? Not like he has nothing better to do! Who do you think you are?"I smirked. "You could always call and find out if I hold sway over him."My words hung in the air, deliberately vague. They exchanged a look, and Kenneth left first, likely to make a phone call to verify my claim. The atmosphere grew tense, and the other parents began whispering among themselves. Some who had earlier supported Tobias's mother began to hesitate."I just checked Tobias's account—his video was definitely uploaded after the timestamp on that photo...""Could it be..."Ursula leaned toward me and reluctantly handed me a chair, forcing a strained smile. "Oh, Mrs. Ramirez, why didn't you say you knew the director earlier? Seems like this is just a big misunders

I pointed at the projection of Holly's painting."If you all think the dates could have been fabricated," I said, "then can someone explain why this piece, claimed to be Tobias's masterpiece, has Holly's signature incorporated into it—an exact replica?"I had a habit of blending the initials of my name into my artwork. Holly, following suit, had done the same, embedding her name within the patterns of her painting.As I finished speaking, the parents exchanged looks, clearly recognizing that there was more to the situation than they had first thought. The murmurs died down, and the atmosphere became tense with hesitation.Ursula, unwilling to back down, stepped forward. "This is a stretch! What can one photo prove?" she scoffed. "You say that's a signature? I see it as just a pattern!"She exchanged a glance with Tobias's mother, then continued, "The video clearly shows Tobias painting every stroke himself. If you're going to accuse him of plagiarism, this little evidence certai

With that thought, I scooped up Holly, who had been so frightened by the yelling that she couldn't speak. I shot a cold glance at the others."If you'd taken a moment to look closely, you'd know this is a memorial painting for the deceased," I said, my voice cutting through the tension. "My husband is dead. Did Tobias's dad die too?"The room fell silent for a moment. Tobias's mother, stunned, stammered, "What the hell are you talking about? My husband's fine! My son just…"She faltered, her voice tripping over itself, as she noticed the odd details in Tobias's painting, all too apparent now. The others exchanged uneasy glances, sensing something wasn't right. Her face flushed as she shot an accusing look at Ursula, as though realizing she might need to throw her under the bus. "You! Why aren't you saying anything? How could my son's perfectly fine painting be accused of plagiarism?"Her voice rose with the force of a storm. "What kind of teacher are you? If you can't give me a

I cut her off with a cold expression, "If I didn't have this background, you wouldn't be apologizing right now, would you? You should know better than anyone whether you're truly in a difficult situation or just doing this for money." I took my seat and turned to Finley, ignoring her. "Mr. Sanders, earlier you said there wasn't enough evidence to clear Holly's name. Now, I'm sure you can finally give us an explanation." After the scandal, Finley's face wasn't much better. He couldn't afford to offend me, so he directed his anger toward Ursula instead. "I give you the best early childhood education salary in the city, and this is how you repay me—lying and covering up? You're done here, effective immediately!" Ursula was still young, and when she realized she was being fired, her eyes welled up with tears. "Tobias' mother made me do it! I really didn't know it would end up like this! Mr. Sanders, please give me another chance! If you fire me, no other kindergarten will hire

Tobias's award-winning piece was quickly pulled down, and the official statement clarifying the situation followed shortly after. With that, Holly finally reclaimed the authorship of her work. For the new semester, I transferred Holly to a well-regarded public kindergarten in the area. She adapted well and had already blended seamlessly into her class, thriving under the care of her teachers. Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction.Then, out of nowhere, my work inbox was flooded with malicious comments and hateful private messages. It wasn't until my agent contacted me that I saw Ursula's new video. After catching up on the situation, I learned that Ursula had been struggling to find a suitable job for months. She refused to take on any menial or hard work in the meantime, and now, desperate, she had decided to shift all the blame onto me. She posted a video online venting her frustration, implying that I had used my influence to make things difficult for her, causi

[You're behind this, aren't you? [You have everything already. Do you really need to be upset about me trying to get some attention online? I never even mentioned your name![Losing my job wasn't enough—now you want to make sure I can't even survive?[Rich people like you with no empathy should all go straight to hell!]I frowned, sensing something was wrong. I tried to reply, but realized I'd been blocked.After having someone look into it, I found out it seemed like someone had targeted her.

After my message, the group fell into complete silence.Even the other parents whose children had been criticized didn't stand up with me to question it.Ursula's response came quickly. [The quality of the work is obvious. It's clear that the later pieces have much lower completion compared to the better ones![Mrs. Ramirez, if you have any issues with my teaching methods, feel free to speak directly to the principal![Please don't disrupt the atmosphere of this group.]Her tone was bold, almost as if she had nothing to worry about.Immediately, other parents chimed in.[Ugly artwork is ugly. What's there to question?][Is this one of those troublesome parents you hear about online? Never thought I'd meet one in real life.] [Being a preschool teacher is tough enough without dealing with people like this.] I was practically laughing in disbelief at how blindly these people defended the teacher.Ignoring their comments, I pushed forward with my own.[Ms. Keller, whose work
