02:45not born
02:45timid living with a mother like this he must be trapped in fear from morning to night
02:53mrs mercer music is art for a child what matters most is feeling and expression
02:58it should not be measured by machine and self-experience a teacher like you encouraging
03:05this kind of nonsense shut up notes must be perfect down to the smallest detail in the mercer family
03:12anything less than precise means shame you turn my son into a useless child can you take responsibility
03:19for that she actually pulls out her phone again and opens the same audio analysis app she points it at
03:27the piano and watches the real-time waveform on the screen while she keeps cursing at that moment
03:33mr ashford rushes in out of breath what what is going on here
03:42i step forward and explain everything from beginning to end
03:50lena go back to your office first
03:54i will handle this here i stand there stunned watching as mr ashford turns around to face mrs mercer
04:04who is standing there with her arms crossed his posture looks more like he is trying to calm her
04:09down than hold her accountable i have no choice but to turn and leave i sit in the office for
04:15two full
04:16classes the burning pain on my face comes back again and again and the more i think about it the
04:23more
04:23unfair it feels by lunch break mr ashford finally pushes the door open slow and casual it's settled mrs
04:33mercer has already left how was it handled she hit me in front of everyone insulted me and abused a
04:42child
04:42you are just a piano teacher focus on your classes and do not ask too much
04:51just remember this when it comes to jake in the future don't take it too seriously
04:57just tolerate it and it will pass i almost laugh from anger this is his solution but looking at his
05:04face i know arguing is useless i swallow my frustration tomorrow is saturday i decide i will
05:11wait until monday to find jake and ask how he is doing but i never expect this early saturday morning
05:18while i am still asleep my phone keeps ringing non-stop i hang up several times but the caller keeps
05:25dialing again and again without giving up it is jake's mother again i have no choice but to answer the
05:33moment

07:44is going on why is she not running the pe teacher is about to step forward to explain but i
07:51stop him
07:52i already know there is no reasoning with this woman she twisted her ankle last week that is why she

10:31after all
10:38i will be generous and forgive you i pick it up and take one look ms brown must provide jake
10:46with
10:46one-on-one piano tutoring after school every day at least two hours each time if jake is bullied at
10:53school ms brown must immediately punish the offending student and demand compensation from their parents
11:00ms brown must pick jake up for school 30 minutes early every morning if the parent calls ms brown
11:06must answer within one second if not 10 strikes with the wooden board will be given
11:23you are dreaming

11:35back so i
11:36cannot fight back he locks my arms tightly i cannot move at all mrs mercer takes the chance
11:43and slaps me again and lena you are really being unreasonable here mrs mercer is willing to settle
11:50this privately that is giving you a chance you do not appreciate it and you turn it into a scene
11:56and do you even know who mrs mercer is nora mercer is the wife of our school's biggest donor mr
12:02mercer you are just a piano teacher know your place very soon they will all find out who does not
12:12know their place tell me then what is the name of this biggest donor
12:19scared yet my husband is warren mercer
12:24i already called him he is on his way right now
12:33warren mercer that scholar kid who only finished school because he got a full ride from my father-in-law's
12:38foundation now he is playing the role of the ultimate power
12:45he used to pursue me back then he said as long as i give him three sons he would let
12:51me take his
12:51last name and become mrs mercer turns out he really did find someone willing to accept that offer
12:58i calmly dial a number hello honey i am being bullied at school oh calling your husband now
13:07what is he some security guard you called in to back you up come on i really want to see
13:14what kind
13:14of loser would marry a woman like you i am telling you the board of directors has already been handled
13:20by my husband you are never coming back to teach piano again a woman like you who cannot even have
13:28children nobody wants you anywhere i stay silent the call is still connected every insult nora throws is
13:36clearly heard on the other end lena hang up the phone do you even think your husband can be
13:41compared to mr mercer i look out the window my husband ethan's lamborghini is already parked
13:47downstairs at the same time another car pulls in next to it a porsche series warrants now this is
13:55getting interesting my husband's voice comes through the phone baby i am here
14:04oh isn't that my husband's porsche and what is that junk next to it looks all dusty
14:13don't tell me it is some construction contractor's car i almost laugh out loud she does not even
14:19recognize a lamborghini at that moment mr ashford's office door is pushed open and warren walks in after
14:27so many years his hair is still perfectly combed and he carries himself like he looks down on everyone
14:33what is going on now you make a scene over every little thing
14:40honey you are finally here this teacher bullied our son you must stand up for me warren turns to look
14:50at
14:50me with a cold face clearly he does not recognize me it has been six years since he last tried
14:57to pursue
14:57me and in his current imagined social class someone like me just a piano teacher is not even worth
15:05remembering you are mrs brown i have heard about your disrespectful behavior recently
15:13my time is valuable i will not waste words on you i will ask you one thing
15:23do you know who jake is i say nothing i just look at him quietly seeing my silence he thinks
15:30i am
15:30intimidated he gets even more confident and continues my son jake is going to inherit a billion dollar
15:38fortune he will manage a public company he will be the one ringing the bell at the new york stock
15:43so every single note he plays is not just music it is discipline training for a future ceo it is
15:50the
15:51foundation of a billion dollar legacy do you understand nora nods hard beside him warren continues
15:58do you even realize that the grade you casually give him could destroy the discipline of a future
16:04business leader a small difference in touch to you may seems minor but in his future trillion dollar
16:10contracts that could be a fatal flaw can you take responsibility for that i listen to this ridiculous
16:17speech and cannot help but laugh trillion dollar contracts looks like my husband really has been making
16:23this man live well i will give his imagination an a plus his face darkens what are you laughing at
16:30i look up at him calmly nothing i just think mr mercer is very imaginative my reaction clearly irritates him
16:42mrs brown i suggest you face reality right now apologize to my wife
16:50then accept whatever arrangement the school gives you otherwise i can guarantee you will have no place
16:56not just in this school but in the entire education field facing his barking threats i still just smile
17:04faintly at that moment the office door is suddenly pushed open a young female teacher rushes in her face pale
17:12it's bad jake is missing after p.e class he did not return to the classroom with the group we
17:22checked the
17:22playground and everywhere around but we cannot find him
17:27my son my baby what are you all doing mrs brown what are you standing there for go find him
17:38now
17:43you cannot even keep track of one child
17:49if anything happens to my son i will make sure you all pay for it i follow them and rush
17:57out of the office
