The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Chapter 1979

They felt that Joanne looked sophisticated and had good teaching methods, but Gina's outstanding academic qualifications were hard to beat. They felt Joanne's qualifications had to be better since she was the class teacher.

"Honestly, I don't really have any academic qualifications, and I've only been teaching for less than six months," Joanne confessed, knowing the parents wouldn't let her off the hook.

"What? No academic qualifications and you've only been teaching for six months?" The parents were shocked and furious, and wanted to change the class teacher. At that moment, words started appearing on Joanne's presentation slides.

[Here's a gentle reminder-Joanne has never been to college. Her life is troubled and messy, and she's hiding something on her body... That's why she always wears long-sleeved shirts and long pants!]

"What's happening? Is it true? The class teacher of our kids has never been to college?"

"What is she hiding? No wonder she put on a shirt with long sleeves on such a hot day!" "That's preposterous!"

Joanne didn't know what was going on, and watched in confusion as the parents pointed at her slides and whispered to each other. "Ladies and gentlemen, what's wrong..." She turned around, and the blood drained from her face when she saw the words on the screen..

Gina laughed and smugly patted Joanne's shoulder. "Why do you look so pale, Ms. Garcia? Is it true? Do you have a messy life? Why are you wearing long sleeves on a hot summer day? Is there something weird on your skin? I heard that people with filthy diseases will get ulcerated skin. Are you suffering from some kind of infectious disease? If that's the case, I don't think you should be teaching children..."

Hearing that, the parents turned to Joanne in horror and disgust. "What's wrong with this school? It has such a good reputation, but how could they hire someone like this as a teacher?"

"She must be suffering from some kind of disease... That's why she's not showing us her arms!"

"Yeah, she can just roll up her sleeves and prove her innocence if it's not true!"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"Roll up your sleeves now. If you don't, we'll report you to the Ministry of Education!"

Tears welled up in Joanne's eyes as she shook her head, wrapping her arms around herself tightly. "No, I'm not suffering from any disease. I just like children and sincerely want to teach them..." Her body trembled as her trauma returned, and she felt like running away.

"Don't leave, Ms. Garcia. If you go now, you'll prove them right. Shouldn't you give them an explanation for the sake of Lone Pine Elementary's reputation?" Gina blocked Joanne's path and grabbed her arms. She sneered and said, "Why don't you roll up your sleeves and show us your arms? It'll only take a few seconds. Don't tell me you can't even do that."
