insulted - Story 75198 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The principal’s words, "Mrs. Chen is wonderful! Such a dedicated educator," felt like a slap in the face to Olivia. She plastered a polite smile on her face, but inside she was reeling. Mrs. Chen. The woman who had consistently favored the other students. She had treated Olivia with such a cold indifference.

A tremor ran through her. It wasn't fair. Her daughter, Chloe, deserved better. She deserved to be seen, to be valued. The idea of Chloe enduring the same treatment fueled a fire in Olivia's belly. The cheerful office decor suddenly looked menacing.

She forced herself to maintain eye contact, to nod and agree, but her mind was elsewhere, already plotting how to safeguard her daughter from this woman's influence. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. Her hands were starting to shake.
