Ch. 121..125: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 121-125
Chapter 121
Chapter 121 “mr. Johnston, you are quite eloquent,” said Harvey courteously. Although Jared had only said a few words, it was enough to show he took Nicole’s side firmly. Harvey let out a low laugh.
Jared, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows without saying anything.
He was not surprised that Harvey knew him. The rest of Snow’s friends were stunned.
They were too shocked to react when they heard the way Harvey had addressed Jared. After all, there were very few families in Northon that would deserve Harvey’s politeness. Seeing that even Harvey had to act politely toward Jared, Snow pursed her lips and said, “Nicole, we’ll let go of this this since mr. Johnston is here.
I’m not sure how you became friends with these people, but I hope you return on the right path and stop fooling around like this.” Nicole looked at Snow with indifferent eyes, as if Snow’s words sounded nothing to her.
“I don’t need your opinion about my friends.
Remember to ask your friend to apologize to Austin.” There was a smile in Jared’s eyes when he heard Nicole’s words. Yvana did not expect Nicole would still refuse to let her off the hook.
“Nicole, don’t go too far.
Do you really think a mere café owner can back vou? There’s no way I will say sorry to a fool like Austin,” she snarled.
“Harvey, say something, quick! I don’t want to apologize to that brainless Austin!” Harvey’s gaze remained somewhere between Nicole and Jared.
“Yvana, don’t be stubborn,” said Harvey without looking at Yvana. He was asking Yvana to apologize to Austin. Yvana’s eyes widened.
She did not see this coming from Harvey’s mouth.
Tears quickly welled up in her eyes as she shot Nicole a glare.
“Austin, I’m sorry!” she shouted. Nicole frowned as she sensed no sincerity in Yvana’s apology.
However, Austin was very satisfied with the outcome.
He glanced at Yvana deeply.
His eyes had a glimmer at first, but it faded and eventually went out. “Boss, it’s getting late.
Let’s go,” said Austin.
His tone was soft. Nicole looked at him and said no more.
She responded, “Okay.” Jared no longer pursued the matter.
The moment he passed by Harvey, he retracted his gaze, deadpan. Harvey’s eyes darkened as he watched the Nicole and her friends go downstairs. Jared went out of the café with them.
After leaving the premise, every one, except for Nicole who had to returned to school since she was staying on campus, parted ways.
Before Nicole left, she stopped Austin with a low voice.
“You deserve someone better.” Austin looked at her with light flashed in his eyes.
“Thank you, Boss.” . After they all left, Nicole saw that Jared was still by her side.
She looked at him, puzzled.
“Why haven’t you left?” · Jared furrowed his brows.
‘This lady… She throws me a despised look once Austin and his gang left.’ But seeing that it was getting dark, he couldn’t let her go back alone. “I’ll send you to your place.” Nicole cast a glance at Jared, looking resigned.
“No, it’s only a ten-minute walk from here to the dormitory.” Jared didn’t argue any further.
Instead, he said flatly, “Let’s go. Nicole frowned at Jared’s back.
She remained motionless for two seconds before she followed him. ‘Never mind.
He can send me back as he wished since… I don’t really hate him,’ Nicole muttered in her mind.
Chapter 122
The two strolled one behind the other. When Harvey and Snow came out, all they saw were Jared and Nicole’s distant back.
Under the illumination of the street lights, two slender shadows gradually overlapped in one place and stretched out endlessly in the night.
Harvey’s smile slowly dwindled as he locked his gaze on them.
His eyes, which were usually gentle, became icy. It was not until the girls behind him said their goodbyes that he turned around with a smile and told them to be careful on the way home.
After seeing those girls being picked up by cars one after the other, Harvey took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm.
He spoke to Snow on the side, “Snow, go back.” He was telling her to stop following him.
The smile on Snow’s face froze.
She had noticed Harvey’s grim expression when he was looking at Nicole’s back.
Snow pursed her lips and murmured, “Harvey, you’ve been acting strange lately.
What’s wrong with you?” Snow’s words had startled Harvey.
‘Even Snow is aware of my unusual behavior.
How could I not notice? It’s all because of Nicole. There were subtle, mixed feelings in Harvey’s eyes. Could it be… love at first sight? Or Is it because Grandpa thinks so highly of her that I am so concerned about her?’ Gradually, Harvey couldn’t tell what was on his mind at that moment. Little did he know that Snow, who was behind him, had already put all the blames on Nicole.
Snow cursed silently, ‘It’s all because of her! (Ever since Nicole enrolled in the Royal Creek Institute, everyone’s attention has been drawn to her unknowingly. “When Raine kept telling me that Nicole had stolen Gary from her, I wasn’t bothered because I thought Harvey would be different.
Who would have expected him to directly ask Nicole to be his girlfriend?’ Snow bought into the rumor that Harvey had done it for a game.
However, she noticed that his behavior had become more unusual recently.
Apart from that, she was also well aware of Harvey’s increasing attention on Nicole.
She could tell by the look in Harvey’s eyes.
Nonetheless, Snow knew it was not her place to question Harvey because he had never agreed to let her be his girlfriend.
All this while, it was just her alone who had longed to be his girl.
Now that I come to think of it, I’m just Harvey’s sidekick, a position that merely satisfied a part of my vanity.
But the fact is, I’ve gotten nothing from it! When Snow thought of this, the gentleness in her eyes were replaced by resentment.
She could not help but asked, “Harvey, do you really want to choose Nicole? Can’t it be me instead?” She thought, ‘Nicole has only met Harvey for a few times.
Why can she easily get what I’ve been chasing after? And because of her, I was abandoned like a pawn! ; .
Snow had given Harvey implicit and explicit hints about her feelings.
But this was the first time she had spoken so bluntly.
Harvey gave her a glance.
“Snow, know your place.
Stop being delusional.” His tone was indifferent.
Snow, who was staring at Harvey’s seemingly gentle smile, was startled by Harvey’s cold words.
‘I am so close to him but why do I feel so far away from him?’ she thought.
Before she could react, Harvey turned and walked in the direction where Jared and Nicole had gone. Snow watched him leave.
But the hesitation in her eyes disappeared instantly.
‘I will never let go of Harvey! No matter how distant he is, I will find a way to enter his heart and become someone special to him! ‘As for Nicole, she already has Jared as her fiancé! There’s no way I will let her steal Harvey from me!’ Snow gritted his teeth at the thought of this and followed. Harvey’s current mind was full of thoughts about Nicole to the point that he was unaware that Snow was behind him. ‘Is Jared Johnston really her boyfriend?’ Harvey was thinking that he should back out immediately if Jared liked Nicole.
However, the thought that Jared and Nicole would become a couple made Harvey clenched his right fist tightly under his suit.
Harvey had always been a calm and rational strategist, otherwise mr. Ellison would not have chosen him to be the heir among the young generation of the Ellison family.
But now, he was in struggle between his feelings and rational thinking.
He did not want to give up his endeavor, nor did he want to stop pursuing Nicole.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared said goodbye downstairs in the dormitory.
It was almost ten o’clock, the time her roommate June would go to bed.
Nicole saved the pleasantries.
She thanked him and went upstairs directly. Jared was standing under the street lamp.
With his eyelashes drooping, his gaze was fixated at Nicole, who walked away with no slightest hesitation.
At that time, no one knew what was going through his head.
A chuckling voice suddenly came from behind.
“Hi mr. Johnston, we meet again.” Jared didn’t bother to look back.
He knew it was Harvey.” Have you got anything to say?” Jared sounded nonchalant. Harvey’s eyes gradually became frosty upon seeing Jared’s reaction.
“I heard that the Rogers family will hold a birthday party soon.
I wonder if you would attend it?” Only then did Jared turn around and looked at Harvey with a half-smile.
“Whether I attend it or not — what does it have to do with you?” His voice was cold.
Harvey smiled.
He did not seem to be bothered by Jared’s discourteous response.
“Because if you are not attending the party, the daughter of the Rogers family will probably look for you at the Johnston residence.” , Jared looked at Harvey.
Although his eyes remained indifferent, there was an irrepressible disdain in them.
“It is not your place to ask me questions about my private life.”
Chapter 123
When Jared’s ride had arrived, he retracted his eyes from Harvey’s face.
His expression remained indifferent as he opened the car door, got in, and left the scene.
Harvey, who was still on the spot, covered his face while laughing.
‘Ithought I could at least provoke him and make him say something nasty.
But sure enough, Jared Johnston is someone who will never allow himself to be manipulated.” The next day, Nicole got up early for her morning routine.
After a morning jog, she carried several weapons and went to the back mountain for training as usual. However, someone was already sitting there in the place she frequented.
It was Harvey.
Propping his head up on his elbow, he was taking a nap before an open book. Nicole didn’t startle Harvey.
Instead, she turned and left without a second thought. When she was leaving, Harvey’s closed eyes suddenly opened.
He looked at Nicole’s back, and the glimmer in his eyes flickered. ‘Another terrible morning for me,’ thought Harvey who let out a gentle smile. After putting her stuffs in the dormitory, Nicole went to her classroom directly.
she was thinking about changing her training place.
Her fingers were tapping on her desk lightly while she was thinking about changing her training place. Nicole gently propped her head, looking out the window with her absentminded eyes. Gary, who was sitting behind her, frowned as he saw her idled away time despite the fact that the Math Olympiad competition was approaching.
When he looked at the exercises in front of him, he felt a slight irritability in his heart.
Nicole remained nonchalant even though there were only two weeks left.
It was unacceptable to him. Although he had convinced himself to help her win the bet, he could not help to feel disappointed at her attitude. Jack noticed the look in Gary’s eyes.
He followed Gary’s gaze and found that Gary was looking at Nicole again.
He frowned, ‘It feels like he has been paying too much attention to Nicole lately.’ But ever since Gary taught him a lesson last time, he did not dare to pry into Gary’s mind.
Jack rubbed his nose and decided to let them be.
When he stopped thinking about it, he lay on the table, wanting to take a nap for a while. “Gary, wake me up when the teacher arrives,” said Jack.
They had always watch out for each other.
But Gary had been focused on his studies recently, so Jack had nothing to do for a while. Unexpectedly, Gary did not respond as usual.
He looked at Nicole, who was idled away, then retracted his eyes to Jack.
“No nap for you.
Get up and study!” Gary snarled. Jack looked at him dumbfounded.
He did not expect Gary to say that.
But Gary did not seem like joking, so he asked cautiously, “Gary, are you serious?” The moment Gary shot him a glare, Jack quickly sat up straight, took out a book, and started to read it. ‘Gary’s temper has been a little strange recently.’ Jack peeked at Gary and saw that Gary still immersed himself in solving the math problems.
Jack poked Wayne and asked, “Don’t you think Gary has been acting weird lately?” Wayne, who was playing game, was caught off guard by Jack’s words.
He put away the game console and said, “You noticed it too?” When he saw Jack nodding, his expression turned serious as he said, “Actually, I have long suspected that Gary is in his menopause!” He thought, ‘Otherwise, there is no way to explain his moodiness during this time.’, “Pfft.” Bradley sitting in the front row could not help laughing. Nicole also glanced at Wayne with an inscrutable look in her eyes.
Wayne forgot what he had wanted to say, staring blankly ahead.
After all, it was rare to see Nicole held no hostility towards him in her gaze.
Jack, on the other hand, looked at the stupefied Wayne in puzzlement. Just when Jack was about to say something, the clicking sound of high heels came from the door.
The owner of the heels was either furious or she was of great weight.
Several students could tell that it was certainly not Ms.
Emerson.
Sure enough, a middle-aged woman dressed in black like a nun came in view the next second after the door of Class B was pushed open vigorously.
She was of medium build, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked very stern. Behind the woman was Jessy, who looked docile.
After taking a glance around the classroom, the woman asked in a cold voice, “Whose name is Nicole in this class?” As soon as everyone heard her, their eyes focused on Nicole, Many of them filled with glee for none other reason than that woman was their high school department head – Ms.
Thompson, the old witch! ‘All student she comes for won’t be spared.
Nicole has been so arrogant since no one in the school can do anything to her.
Someone should teach her a lesson!’ everyone thought. Ms.
Thompson followed their eyes and saw a good-looking girl staring at her with her arms folded.
There was no trace of panic in her eyes.
Ms.
Thompson gave her a cold stare for a while and said, “You are Nicole?” Nicole looked at Ms.
Thompson and remained silent.
Ms.
Thompson took Nicole’s silence as “yes.” She sneered at Nicole, “I heard you had refused to apologize after beating Jessy from Class A, and you ignored mr. Kennedy who came to mediate between you two.
Did that happen?” “As expected,’ Nicole thought with a poker face.
These people just won’t let me have a peaceful day in class.’ On the other hand, Lulu retorted, “Jessy was the one who came to provoke Nicole first, so Nicole just taught her a lesson.
Yesterday, mr. Kennedy indiscriminately blamed Nicole, asking her to apologize.
Since Nicole did nothing wrong, of course she would not apologize to Jessy!” Ms.
Thompson looked at Lulu coldly and suddenly shouted, “Shut up! You don’t have the right to speak here! Nicole, your behavior is unruly, and you assaulted Jessy willfully.
I think it’s necessary to report your behavior to the school so you will be handed a heavy penalty, otherwise you will continue to be insolent and become a scourge in society!”
Chapter 124
Chapter 124 As the Royal Creek Institute’s high school department head, Ms.
Thompson hated students who misbehaved and did poor in study.
‘This Nicole has already given me a bad impression because she’s a transfer student from the countryside.
Not to mention now she is a troublemaker!’ Ms.
Thompson snarled silently. Seeing Ms.
Thompson’s manner, Nicole knew that Ms.
Thompson was deliberately targeting her.
She spoke to Ms.
Thompson nonchalantly, “Do whatever you want.” Ms.
Thompson was furious at Nicole, but on second thought, she realized that Nicole did not even refute her.
‘Did she not care about the penalty she will face at all? It seems that giving her penalty is still too light,’ she thought. “Nicole, is this how you behave when talking to teachers? It seems that you are unfit to be a student in an outstanding school like Royal Creek Institute student where teachers are respected.
I will file for your expulsion through the principal instead!” The whole class was in an uproar.
Nicole had only been transferred to Royal Creek Institute for less than three weeks.
If she really got expelled, she would be the transfer student who lasted for the shortest time in the school’s history.
It was something big enough to talk about the whole school year! When Nicole saw Ms.
Thompson’s spitefulness, her expression became even colder.
She fished out her phone and tapped the screen casually with her finger.
“Hello, Ms.
Thompson from high school department said she was going to expel me,” she talked on the phone. Her voice sounded very soft even though she was voicing her complaints assertively. Ms.
‘Thompson looked at Nicole coldly, thinking that Nicole was acting like she had a backer.” Wake up.
Do you really think you have a connection that can overrule the Royal Creek Institute’s decision? Our principal is mr. Ellison!” Ms.
Thompson sneered. Nicole ignored Ms.
Thompson.
She answered a few questions asked by the person on the other side of succinctly.
When she told the person that Jessy had messed with her because of Harvey, she could notice Ms.
Thompson’s expression had changed. Ms.
Thompson stared at Nicole in disbelief.
‘She even dares to complain about Harvey Ellison?! Who is the person on the other end of her phone?’ Nule’s nonchalanxe made Ms.
Thompson feel uneasy. When Mr Kennedy met Ms.
Thompson, his narrative revolved around the bullying actions the students of his class had suffered and how unruly Nicole was.
On top of that, mr. Kennedy often gave MS.
Thompson a lot of benefits, and she thought Nicole was just a student transfer from a rural area.
Therefore, shie did not give a second thought before standing up for mr. Kenny At this moment, Ms.
Thompson got a little nervous, thinking that she might have messed with someone she should not have offended. ‘But I’ve read her profile.
It is clearly stated that she’s a girl living with her grandmother since the death of her parents.
I have no idea how she got in the Royal Creek Institute, though.
Perhaps, she has used some dirty tricks.’ At the thought of this, Ms.
Thompson looked at Nicole’s pretty face with a flash of disgust. ‘Pretty girls nowadays would do anything to achieve something!’ When this thought appeared in Ms.
Thompson’s mind, a group of people suddenly came behind her.
After taking a closer look, she recognized they were the hooligans in her class. “Austin, Sammey, why didn’t you attend your class? What are you doing here?” she sounded displeased. Austin was not afraid of Ms.
Thompson.
When he heard that his homeroom teacher came to Class B of the eleventh grade to find Nicole, he had rushed over immediately.
Upon arrival, he heard Ms.
Thompson wanted to expel Nicole.
$0 he got nervous as he said, “Ms.
Thompson, Nicole would not have done it for no reason.
You should at least get the facts right before making a decision!” The henchmen behind him also nodded.
Ms.
Thompson could see the anxiety and concern in their eyes.
Instead of getting pissed off, Ms.
Thompson smirked at Austin.
“Oh, I didn’t expect Nicole to exploit such means at such a young age.
She can even make you guys speak for her.
Looks like she has a rather promiscuous relation!” Ms.
Thompson had remained single despite being a middle-aged woman, and she had no suitors.
Hence, she disliked seeing many boys being protective over a pretty girl.
She would assume the girl must have seduced those boys. Austin and his gang became furious upon her words.
“Ms.
Thompson, you’ve gone too far! Nicole has been tutoring us in our study, so we are feeling grateful to her!” If they told Ms.
Thompson that Nicole was their boss, they afraid it would bring Nicole more troubles.
So they had only mentioned about the tutoring. Unexpectedly, the whole Class B burst into laughter when they heard those words.
‘I can’t.
believe that Austin has the nerve to claim that Nicole is tutoring him.
Nicole is a country bumpkin who has even gotten zero marks recently.
Austin’s grade, similarly, has always been at the bottom.
I don’t know if they are stupid or what to brazenly make such claim!’ they thought Ms.
Thompson mocked Austin, “Austin, can’t you look for a better excuse? Everyone in the school knows Nicole’s grades are far from yours, yet you claimed that she had been tutoring you? Could you even fool
yourself with that excise?” When Austin’s henchmen saw that Ms.
Thompson did not believe them, they all clenched their fists and hurriedly said, ” Ms.
Thompson, we’re telling the truth.
Nicole is good at explaining topics.” Ms.
Thompson looked at Sammey.
She had treated him well since his grades were not bad.” Sammey, speak.
You won’t lie to me, right?” Sammey was a quiet student.
But now he looked at Ms.
Thompson and said, “Ms.
Thompson, it’s true.
Nicole has been tutoring us, and we’ve learned a lot.” Ms.
Thompson contemplated for a second, seemingly trying to figure whether Sammey was lying. At this time Sammey’s sister – Vivian – who was sitting in the first row of Class B refuted his words.
“Sammey, you should not have spoken for Nicole because of personal feelings.
Everyone knows about Nicole’s poor grades.
She has even scored zero marks for the Math Olympiad mock test! With that competency level, there’s no way she can tutor other students.” Sammey turned to look at Vivian in disbelief the moment he heard her. Vivian did not look away.
She believed that she was right about it.
‘It’s absurd to say that Nicole has been tutoring Austin.
It is just a lie to cover the fact that she has been fooling around with boys!’ Sure enough, Ms.
Thompson’s expression became grim as soon as she heard Vivian’s words. Vivian was one of the top five eleventh graders, and she was Sammey’s younger sister.
To Ms.
Thompson, her words sounded more convincing.
Hence, Ms.
Thompson waved her hand at Austin and his gang as if brushing off a fly and said, “You don’t need to say more.
Like what Vivian has mentioned, even an excellent teacher like me can’t save your grades.
So, how can someone as poor as Nicole in study tutor you?”| While listening to Ms.
Thompson boasting about hersełF, Sammey scoffed and muttered,” Nicole tutored us better than you!”
Chapter 125
Chapter 125 Nevertheless, who would expect Ms.
Thompson, who often found faults in students, to have good hearing.
When she heard Sammey’s words, she shouted, “Sammey, what did you say?!” Sammey did not bother to hide it since he was caught.
He raised his head and said, “I said Nicole tutored us better than you! Unlike you who would insult after teaching us a while, Nicole respects us.
And I can comprehend everything she explains! An ‘excellent teacher’ like you are incompetent!” As soon as those words came out from Sammey’s mouth, Ms.
Thompson raised her hand angrily.
She was on the verge of slapping him.
Just when she was about to slap him, a fair and slender hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. There was a bracelet of red woven yarn on the wrist of the hand.
It was neither thick nor thin.
The hand had a strong grip.
No matter how hard Ms.
Thompson struggled, she could not even shake the bracelet.
It was as if the hand had infinite strength, making her unable to move. Sammey, who was ready to take a slap, saw nothing happen after waiting for a long while.
When he looked up, he called out in surprise, “Boss!” However, Nicole did not look at him.
Instead, she waved her phone indolently at Ms.
Thompson, “He asked for you,” she said indifferently. Then, ignoring Ms.
Thompson’s resentful face, she shoved the phone into Ms.
Thompson’s hand in the air.
Although Ms.
Thompson had no intention to speak on Nicole’s phone the slightest, Nicole had already pressed it to her ear. Ms.
Thompson could not move her hand, but that did not stop her from mocking Nicole, “Do you really think you can sway the school’s decision with a phone call? Nicole, you are too ignorant, our school is…” mr. Ellison frowned upon hearing her voice reached mr. Ellison from the other side of the phone.
Never did he expect Ms.
Thompson, who always looked serious, to say such a thing.
He called out coldly, “Ms.
Thompson.” Ms.
Thompson’s mouth that was still talking suddenly widened, her lips trembling.
She quivered as she answered, “mr. Ellison?” She had never expected Nicole could make a phone call to the school principal! mr. Ellison was someone not even Ms.
Thompson herself could reach.
Yet, Nicole could contact him directly.
It was a shocking discovery! Reminded of her words, Ms.
Thompson felt so regretful to the point that she had wanted to cut her tongue off. The entire Class B also became silent when they heard Ms.
Thompson addressed the person on the other side as “mr. Ellison.” They exchanged look repeatedly then broke out in a cold sweat. Vivian in the first row had her nails embedded in her palms.
She had never expected that Nicole could contact mr. Ellison directly! ‘What is her relationship with the Ellison family?’ Almost everyone looked at Nicole in horror.
‘We all have badmouthed Nicole to some point.
We will face doom if Nicole, who is backed by mr. Ellison, wants to pay back’ Nicole would probably sneer if she heard their thoughts.
After all, she did not need mr. Ellison if she really wanted a payback. Ms.
Thompson listened to mr. Ellison on the other end of the phone, her face getting paler. mr. Ellison did not sound harsh but his voice imposing.
“Ms.
Thompson, is this a proper way to treat students? Giving penalty indiscriminately and asking the school to expel students based on subjective assumptions? Tell me who gave you the authority?” Ms.
Thompson did not dare to admit such wrongdoings.
“mr. Ellison, it was Nicole who started the fight…” mr. Ellison said flatly, “I’ve already asked Nicole about that.
It was Jessy who came to Class B to provoke her first.
If you still insist to blame Nicole, we can fetch the surveillance footage to verify the facts.” Ms.
Thompson looked at Jessy, who had been trying to reduce her presence by remaining silent.
At this time, she kept her head lowered her head with a guilty conscience, wishing to bury herself in the soil. She had been frightened by Nicole yesterday, but she had to come here unwillingly because mr. Kennedy insisted her to come with Ms.
Thompson. When Ms.
Thompson saw Jessy’s behavior, she understood what was going on.
She became even more nervous.” mr. Ellison, I’m sorry.
I was too reckless.
I didn’t check the facts thoroughly before making a judgment.
But Jessy didn’t make it clear, and Nicole didn’t explain it well…” mr. Ellison’s voice became grave as he listened to silver-tongued Ms.
Thompson.
“Ms.
Thompson, it’s not me you should apologize to It’s Nicole.
I’m sure you know what to do.” Ms.
Thompson heard what mr. Ellison implied.
She was so frightened that she said sorry to Nicole four or five times.
“Nicole, I’m the one at fault this time.
Please forgive me!” Nicole looked at her frightened look and said, “Apologize to her.” There was no change on her facial expression. Ms.
Thompson followed Nicole’s eyes and saw Lulu, whom she had just scolded because Lulu was speaking for Nicole: Without delay, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’m sorry.
Not only did I refuse to listen to you when you were telling the truth, but I also even reprimanded you.
I’m so sorry!” Lulu was a little flattered by Ms.
Thompson’s apology.
After all, most teachers would just drop the matter after wrongly scolding students.
How many students would expect apology from a teacher? Lulu had no experience dealing with it, so she looked at Nicole hurriedly. After seeing Lulu looking at her, Nicole whispered, “Is that okay?” Lulu responded with a nod.
Only then did Nicole look at Ms.
Thompson with icy cold eyes.
“Ms.
Thompson, I don’t mind about what you have said to me.
But if you continue to insult my friends, I don’t think you deserve to be a homeroom teacher.
“It’s true that a student’s academic performande is important, but you can’t judge their personality based on their academic performance.
When students go astray, what you should do is to guide them instead of insulting them and undermining their confidence.
I think Austin and his friends are smart.
But the way you described them sounded like their grades were beyond saving.
You’re their teacher.
What should they do when even you think so?” Austin and his gang looked at her when they heard this, feeling moved. “Boss…” Everyone would see them as the scum of the society.
No one had ever said such a thing about them. A hint of disdain flashed in Ms.
Thompson’s eyes.
‘Nicole doesn’t do well in her study, yet she lectures me about virtue.
I have taught Harvey the top twelve-grader.
Austin and his friends have performed poorly even though they are only in the twelve grade now.
They are beyond saving that even I don’t bother about them.’ TIT Nicole saw Ms.
Thompson’s face and knew what she was thinking.
She said calmly, “If this is the case, we can have a bet.
I reckon that Austin and his friends will make it into the list of top 20 students in this monthly exam even if they don’t listen to your lessons!” Ms.
Thompson had long been eager to get rid of those students whose grades were at the bottom.
Ms.
Thompson looked at Nicole, thinking that she was ignorant, and sneered, “You the one who decide this.
No one is forcing you.
$o not even mr. Ellison can interfere.” Nicole knew what Ms.
Thompson was afraid of So when she heard those words, she said with a half-smile, “Of course.
If I lose, I will leave the Royal Creek Institute by myself.
But if you lose, you must apologize to Austin and his friends with everyone in the school present over the three-year mistreatment you gave them!”
