Several minutes later.

The main person involved showed up.

Jasper Ross, the deputy director of the Saguenay Street Sub-district Office, swaggered into the office.

This time, he had quite a strong presence.

Three people followed behind him, one woman and two men.

One of them, a middle-aged woman, was the kindergarten principal.

She also wore a submissive and meek look.

As soon as he entered the door.

He shouted loudly, "Who? Who bullied my son? Stand up, you coward!"

Seeing someone coming to back her up.

Felicia Walsh immediately went up to greet him.

Behaving like a bully, she pointed at Dirk Carter and said, "Honey, it's him. He not only bullied your son but also bullied me..."

Jasper Ross didn't say anything.

He directly stepped in front of Dirk Carter.

A strong smell of alcohol hit him, and seeing his bloodshot eyes, it was clear he was still drunk.

He was a bit unsteady.

Grabbing Dirk Carter's collar, he said, "It's you, damn it, you don't want to keep going? Come, apologize to my son."

"Can public officials drink alcohol during work hours?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Jasper Ross had a disdainful look.

He asked, "Is that any of your business? Who do you think you are? Do you have more jurisdiction than the mayor?"

Just as he was about to lose his temper and directly attack Dirk Carter.

The kindergarten principal suddenly saw Bartosz Fletcher standing silently in the corner.

Her pores stood on end.

She exclaimed, "Director Fletcher, why... why are you here?"

Jasper Ross was taken aback.

He turned his head and asked, "Which Director Fletcher? Which Director Fletcher?"

The kindergarten principal swallowed nervously and pointed at the person in the corner, saying, "The Director Fletcher of the Department of Education..."

The room buzzed.

Everyone present was stunned.

The Director of the City Education Department was there, and no one knew.

Jasper Ross's drunkenness instantly wore off to some extent.

Trying to flatter, he walked up to Bartosz Fletcher, extended his hand, nodded obsequiously, and said, "Director Fletcher, why are you here? I'm Jasper Ross, from Saguenay Street..."

Before finishing his sentence.

Bartosz Fletcher said seriously, "I know who you are."

"Ah, Director Fletcher has heard of me, it's such an honor, such an honor. Director Fletcher, please have a seat, I'll handle some official matters first and then speak with you..."

They say alcohol gives a coward courage.

Normally, if the Director of the Education Department is present.

A deputy director like him wouldn't have a voice.

But who cared about that in a drunken state?

Just as he was about to turn again towards Dirk Carter, Bartosz Fletcher couldn't hold back anymore, pulled him aside, and said commandingly, "Stop messing around, this is our newly appointed Mayor of Ronan City, Dirk Carter..."

"Haha, Mayor Dirk Carter..."

Jasper Ross murmured unconsciously.

Suddenly.

All his pores opened wide.

Next, he shuddered and, with a look of disbelief, looked at Bartosz Fletcher and asked, "What did you say, Dirk Carter... Mayor?"

Bartosz Fletcher then nodded.

This nod.

Stunned not only Jasper Ross.

Including Felicia Walsh, the principal, and the silent Elder Sutton were also dumbfounded.

Especially Elder Sutton.

From the beginning of the entire process.

She always held Dirk Carter in contempt.

In her view, Dirk Carter was just an ordinary person.

But now she heard he was the Mayor of Ronan City, her mind went blank, and her entire back was instantly drenched.

Even worse was the reaction of Felicia Walsh.

She was the most vocal and gleeful person in the room.

The one who had slandered and deliberately troubled Dirk Carter the most.

Even the most clueless woman knows the distance between a mayor and her husband.

It's not the difference between two banks of a river, but between heaven and earth.

Seeing Bartosz Fletcher nodding his head.

Her mind whirled, frightened, she plopped into the chair.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, can we talk about this matter properly? Elder Sutton?"

Dirk Carter called her by name.

Elder Sutton shivered slightly.

Stepping forward, she softly called out, "Mayor Carter... I..."

At this very moment.

She was filled with regret.

If she had known Chelsea Carter was the mayor's daughter.

She'd be flattering rather than daring to treat her this way.

"Just recount the real situation."

Dirk Carter said.

At this moment, how could Elder Sutton dare to hide anything?

With a trembling voice, she detailed the injury situation of Eberhard Ross.

To prove her words were true.

The previously "broken" surveillance was now working.

With a series of operations.

Everyone witnessed the entire process of Eberhard Ross's injury onscreen.

Contrarily, it wasn't Chelsea Carter bullying Eberhard Ross, but Eberhard Ross bullying Chelsea Carter.

"Eberhard Ross's mom, can we calmly discuss this trivial matter now?"

Dirk Carter intentionally emphasized "trivial matter."

To tell Felicia Walsh that this was originally a small thing, it was she who chose to blow it out of proportion, leading to this situation.

With evidence.

Felicia Walsh couldn't continue her unreasonable behavior.

She swallowed and said, "Mayor... Mayor Carter... it's... all my fault, I... I misunderstood, it's... all Elder Sutton, she told me your... your Chelsea Carter bullied my son, I then..."

"Alright, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved, no matter whether the problem was at the school or with you, let's consider this matter closed."

Dirk Carter said.

Upon hearing these words.

Everyone present almost felt relieved, as if they had escaped a calamity.

They thought it was just a false alarm.

Unexpectedly, Dirk Carter continued, "Next, let's talk about Elder Sutton's issue and the kindergarten's issue..."

Boom!

The principal and Elder Sutton were struck as if by lightning, frozen on the spot.

"Let's start with you, Elder Sutton, young as you are, you're quite skilled at avoiding responsibility. Instead of solving problems, you create opposition, generate conflict, pushing all responsibilities on the children. How did you get your kindergarten teacher qualification? Does your kindergarten face significant management issues? Does your education department lack adequate supervision?"

A series of questions came out.

The principal and Elder Sutton were so frightened that they didn't dare speak.

Bartosz Fletcher knew.

It was time for him to step in.

Otherwise, this matter would remain unresolved.

He approached Dirk Carter, sincerely saying, "Thank you Mayor Carter for pointing out issues in our education system. Today's incident will be severely handled by the education department, and supervision will be strengthened to prevent similar events in the future."

With this promise.

Dirk Carter also didn't press further.

After all, he is now the mayor.

As a leader, he raises issues, but their resolution is for subordinates to handle.

After a brief silence.

Dirk Carter finally looked at Jasper Ross.

He just glanced at him.

Jasper Ross's body went limp.

Mumbling, he said, "Mayor... Mayor Carter, I... I was wrong, I failed to properly supervise, I... I deserve punishment..."

"Is it just a supervision problem?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Jasper Ross was momentarily speechless.

Not knowing how to respond.

"Drinking in violation during work, abusing power, oppressing the common people, you're doing a great job as deputy director. Are you going to go to the disciplinary commission yourself, or should I have someone from the district commission come for you?"

Dirk Carter asked.
