CHAPTER 818 HOW DARE YOU DENY ABUSING YOUR AUTHORITY

Shortly, Mindy Stuart, the director of education, personally retrieved the winning entry, which was Ethan Miller's poem. Russell instructed James, "Recite the poem!”

Left without a choice, James picked up and recited with all his courage, "The Happy Poem, by Ethan Miller." "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma are happy."

"They are happy the day before, yesterday, today, and tomorrow."

“Happy on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

Everyone was flabbergasted at the nonsense that James sprouted in his poem.

Mindy couldn't help but question, "What the f*** is this?”

Zed Walker nodded. "How can this even be considered a poem, let alone awarded the

first prize?"

"Is this the best all the kids in Channing can do?"

The parents in the crowd started to protest, "This is ridiculous! My kids can do way better than that. The results definitely have been tampered with!"

Meanwhile, Russell stared at James coldly. "If this isn't abuse of authority, | don't know what is. What do you have to say for yourself?"

James remained defiant till the end, he insisted, "Mr. Crow, judging a poem is a subjective matter. | feel that my son's poem is an excellent one. His award was based on merit.

Russell scoffed, "Based on merit? Fine, retrieve Mr. Cross' daughter's poem and let us compare them." In a short while, Queenie's entry was brought out. Russell wanted Queenie to recite it herself.

When Nathan saw that Queenie was apprehensive, he encouraged her, "Don't worry, just imagine that you are reciting it for both Mama and me. Besides, we haven't seen what you have written in your poem anyway.”

Penny nodded in encouragement. "That's right, Papa and Mama would like to hear it. Why don't you show everyone how good your poem is?"

With her parents’ encouragement, Queenie took out her poem and recited it spiritedly in front of everyone, "A letter to a poor friend who stays in the mountains, by Queenie Smith."

"| know that you live in the darkest of places." "My mom said the most beautiful diamond is forged in houses devoid of light." “My dad said the bravest warriors are born in the cruelest of battlefields."

"Therefore, to my friends who live in the tough conditions of the mountains, do not

give up."

“Because the prettiest flower will bloom in the most miserable conditions." Once she finished, the crowd fell silent.

The next moment, they broke into a loud applause.

Seeing the crowd's response, Queenie blushed cutely. Despite feeling embarrassed, she was delighted to hear everyone's applause.

Beside her, Nathan and Penny exchanged knowing smiles as they were extremely proud of their daughter.

Once the applause died down, Russell glared at Jame with ON vinted\eygs.'U0 Your have anything else to say?" "You are the one in charge of the judges. Please read the original content at .
