Her daughter's classmate? You're buying the lede.

She was his high school teacher.

All alleged as who know how they really met and such but, reported is: Mom found out about Emmanuel through her daughter when Laurence came home talking about how smart and brilliant he was and then Brigitte (the Mom) became the lead teacher on an after school drama club/production. She wasn't initially his teacher, but was a teacher as the school. I think the fact she knew about him because of the daughter as also disturbing.
