Alan's assistant, Nathan was older than Alan. He was trained under Rowan before Alan joined the company. So he knew about Rian very well who had hit quite a few students whenever they misbehaved badly with females in the school especially with Aria Cooper.

"Ms. Cooper is missing from the school." Alan responded to his assistant and told the principal at the same time.

​​

Nathan waited for him to end the call before speaking.

Alan's voice turned icy cold hearing Principal, "If I don't get her or if I know your staff hurt her, I will make sure whoever is involved will pay for it."

Nathan checked the rearview mirror and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He took a deep breath before speaking, "President Morgan, Ms.Cooper is a very responsible girl. She wouldn't leave the city because of trivial things even though she is depressed."

Alan didn't respond to him.

The drive to school from his office was only ten minutes. They reached and saw Noah, Eva, and Rian anxiously waiting for his arrival.

Alan commanded coldly, "Go back to your class."

Eva and Noah gulped looking at Alan's darkened grim face. Only Rian dared to speak. "Our whole class is not letting teachers take the class. We will come with you."

Alan grunted as he walked ahead, "Scat!"

The trio couldn't do anything other than watching the towering figure enter the Principal's office room.

Alan ignored the principal's greeting and stood in front of Teacher Bell whose cheeks were a light shade of red with slender fingers imprinted on it.

"President Morgan" Teacher Bell greeted enthusiastically and he didn't know Alan Morgan was Aria Cooper's guardian.

Seeing him extended his hand to greet, Alan one side lip curved high up and held his hand.

The principal was confused. Nathan felt alarmed. The home teacher who knew Alan was Aria's guardian, just prayed for Teacher Bell's safe hand.

The teacher Bell who was beaming realized Alan's grip on his hand tightening every second. He panicked as his pain greatly increased and felt his bones would crush any time soon as the pain made him go pale, "Pre… President! My… My Hand."

Alan left his hand. "Why did Ms.Cooper hit you?" His voice was cold and emotionless.

Teacher Bell didn't expect that question. "That… That student stole papers. I scolded her and she hit me."

The home teacher spoke right after him, "President Morgan, Arrie will accept to lose more pridefully than stealing papers. She scored full marks on the test. My analysis is that Teacher Bell didn't get the chance to get back at her hence he is accusing her. As for why she hit him is still unknown to me, I'm sorry about that."

Alan intently heard about Aria. He didn't know much about her hence he didn't judge her.

When the home teacher addressed Aria with her nickname, he understood, Aria was a good student. When he heard Rian say the whole class was suspending other teachers to enter, he understood she had good relations with all and she couldn't steal anything seeing their support.

As for how she scored full marks without cheating or attending class or studying was still a question.

"Thank you, Ms.Hudson." He thanked and heard his assistant speak.

Alan took the tab from Nathan, "President Morgan, Ms.Cooper left school a long back. By these pictures, you can see her red swollen cheek and blood which means…" He didn't finish and turned to Teacher Bell who was pale hearing him.

Alan brushed his gaze on Teacher Bell before he stopped at the Principal who was sweating profusely thinking about how to solve. "What do you think will happen if I complain and inform the media that the heiress of The Cooper family and President of Skyline Industries was beaten by a mere imbecile teacher?"

"The... The heiress of the Cooper family and President of Skyline Industries?" The principal widened his eyes in shock. So as Teacher Bell.

The home teacher knew about it as she met Oliver Cooper in the parents-teachers meet. Other than her, Noah and Eva knew about her

Nathan informed Alan, "President Morgan, only a few know about Ms.Cooper completely. She always stayed low profile. Others think as she is from a normal background whose family name is Cooper."

Alan furrowed his brows. 'No doubt she was treated poorly by a stupid teacher.'

"Both Morgan and Skyline will be pulling out our funds from the school." He announced and left with Nathan. Both went to the Cooper villa.

The Principal reprimanded Teacher Bell in the staff room in front of all teachers for all the reasons. He never wanted to offend the ruthless President Morgan.

Alan asked the maid in the Cooper villa and got to know Aria wasn't there. They were leaving when Nathan suggested, "President Morgan, how about we check inside once? What If maids were doing work and didn't notice Ms.Cooper?" Nathan thought Aria might not announce her arrival to them.

Alan nodded and both went inside. They went upstairs and checked all the rooms. When he saw Aria's room which had her pictures with Oliver, Noah, Eva, and Rian. In every picture, she had a beautiful smile that was lost. He sighed and checked the last floor before checking the ground floor.

When he entered the study, he saw a huge two-floor bookshelf with two desks and chairs. Nathan went to check around when his eyes fell on university advanced mathematical, physics, and other books.

When he went ahead and checked them before furrowing his brows. He checked numerous worksheets. He knew Aria's handwriting so he identified immediately and everything was written by her.

He understood how Aria scored full marks in the test. Compared to the solutions to the problems he had in his hands, what she wrote that day in the test was very basic.

The housekeeper who entered was immediately questioned by Alan, "Who wrote all these?"

The housekeeper respectfully replied, "Young Master Morgan, Those are Young miss's worksheets." She had to continue seeing Alan waiting for her explanation.

"Young miss was accompanying Master while he was working at home. She always finished her school studies sitting in the study room waiting for the Master to finish his work. Since she was learning faster, Master always brought her books to work so that she shouldn't worry about business but Young miss still kept track of the business stuff too. (Deep sigh)"

The housekeeper loved Aria as her own daughter and she witnessed her growing up to a young fine lady but it was tragic that she lost her father who she loved dearly.

Alan understood there were many things many people didn't know about Aria.
