Chapter 90
After Corvina left, Joseph tapped into the forum post on his phone. At that moment, he finally understood the reason Loid wanted to meet with him and the explanation for Loid’s sudden recovery after his engagement
To Joseph, only a remarkable woman like Lily was worthy of Loid.
The third lesson of the day was John’s math lesson. After class, he shut the textbook and announced solemnly, “I have an announcement. There won’t be any breaks this weekend. You have a test on Sunday and Monday.”
His announcement was met with a collective groan
A student complained, “Ah, it’s the end of my world.”
“One biweekly test and a monthly test.. This is driving me crazy.”
“Thank goodness there isn’t a test next weekend or I’d cry. Lucas Garcia’s concert is happening next weekend.”
Noting the pain he had inflicted on his students, Johncomforted them, “Hey, take it easy. You still have time before the SATS. If you give your best, you’ll surely get into your dream college. These regular tests will be of help to you.”
“Mr. Everton, do we look Hoe we can make it to college? A male student skimped onto a desk at the back of the classroom, looking lethargic.
“Gosh. They say no pain, no gain. I’m feeling the pain now!
John beamed at the bunch of kids in his class. Most teachers avoided the academically underperforming classes like the plague, but he was the exception.
He always thought that the students who performed poorly were the ones who shined in character. Over the years, he had educated many students–some of them rare talents and a lot of them poor performers.
However, only the underperforming students regularly visited him at school, even atter they started working. He believed that these lads would have a bright future if they were led onto the right path.
After John left the classroom, the students heard Corvina’s voice on the speakers
“Announcement! Recently, there have been students who disseminated lies on the school forum. Hence, the administration has decided to penalize the poster–Shelby Martinez. “Ms. Martinez shall receive a warning. We hope this serves as a lesson for the others not to post malicious content as you might face expulsion.”
The Class 18 students erupted with excitement. tan rushed over to Lily with a wide grin. “Lily, God has answered our prayers! The school admin never polices the forum, but they took action against the malicious poster for your sake! You’re damm lucky,”
Lily glanced at the annoying lan and put on her headphones.
At the same time, Anya argued, “What do you mean she’s lucky? Shelby was in the wrong for slandering Lily. She shouldn’t have done that!”
“Well, that’s what you call the Princess Syndrome. You have not spent a day in a wealthy family. That’s why you won’t get it,” Ian teased.
“Do all rich kids behave in this way? Puzzled, Anya questioned, “We’re still students. Shouldn’t we just focus on studies?”
Ian chortled, “Little girl, you’re too naive. Soon, you’ll understand that these trust fund kids don’t need to study hard because they have a shitload of inheritance waiting for them. All they need to do is to buy a high school diploma and muddle their way through college before Ining off their generational wealth.”
“But the wealth will be depleted one day
Jan shrugged. “I don’t know about that. All I know is that I’ll be one of them! I don’t have a choice but to live off my family because I’m so bad at studies!”
At that moment, Heather suddenly went up to tan from the back of the classroom. She glanced at Anya before beaming at lan. “tan, let’s have lunch after school. We haven’t had Junch together in a while.”
lan waved at her. “I’m not joining. I’m having lunch with Lily.”
Heather’s mood tanked, but she remained smaling. “Oh, I thought we always had hunch together.”
“You’re so annoying! I said I don’t want to have lunch with you!” Ian was upset when Lily ignored him. He directed his anger at Heather instead before storming back to his seat. Achilling gleam flashed across Heather’s eyes as she watched him walk off.
