Chapter 64
Vivienne eyed Hilda's retreating back with a frosty gaze. She reached into her pocket, pulled out her
phone, and was about to dial a number when a pair of old hands landed on her shoulder.
Turning her head, she saw Mr. James shaking his head at her. After a moment of silence, she put her
phone back in her pocket.
She had almost lost her cool.
She had more important things to do after coming down from the mountain. If she blew her cover, it
would mean trouble for her family.
Vivienne retracted her gaze. She turned to the other parents and declared coldly, “I’ve said it before
and I’ll say it again that you guys can’t decide whether I stay or go. If you have any doubts about my
qualifications, you can check it out with the right people.”
She lifted her head, her aloof eyes sweeping over everyone, “Don’t try to teach me how to live my life.
You have no right to do so!”
With that, Vivienne headed off to Class Eighteen with Mr. James and the rest of their party.
They left Lysander and a dozen parents in the room. Lysander looked at them, sighed, and then
explained patiently, “Ms. Vivienne’s qualifications can be verified with the authorities. I went through a
lot of trouble to get her here, so I won’t fire her.”
“Furthermore, since her arrival, she managed to get the students of Class Eighteen to fall in line in just
one class. Regardless of her qualifications, the fact that she managed to bring order to Class Eighteen
is something to celebrate. Don’t you want your kids to have a good learning environment?”
“Mr. James's team was brought in by Ms. Vivienne. Now the students of Class Eighteen are bad in their
academic performance.. They will create a study plan for Class Eighteen students. Once their
performance stabilizes, I’ll discuss with Ms. Vivienne about having Mr. James tutor the other classes.”
After hearing Lysander’s words, those parents didn’t argue further and left.
Of course, they wouldn’t go to the authorities to verify if Vivienne really had a PhD. Like Hilda, they
didn’t believe she could have one. But, with the situation as it was, they wouldn’t stop Vivienne from
continuing to work at the school.
Most importantly, having Mr. James give lessons to other classes was a good thing. Given the current
situation, Mr. James’s team would stay in Havenwood until the exams were over. This was good news
for the parents.
Vivienne led Mr. James’s team to Class Eighteen. Just as they reached the classroom door, someone
called out, “Stand up!”
Immediately, all the rest students stood up and greeted her with respect,“Good morning, Ms. Vivienne!”
The one who called for everyone to stand was Charlotte Redwood.
After the students of Class Eighteen went home yesterday afternoon, Logan Wood created a
WhatsApp group for everyone (they usually kept to themselves and didn’t talk much. That’s why they
didn’t have a WhatsApp group before), urging everyone to strictly follow the class rules.
After a discussion, they decided to make Charlotte the class monitor.
Charlotte accepted it as her due. Vivienne was her good friend, and now her head teacher. Being a
class monitor would help her support Vivienne better.
Mr. James, seeing such well-behaved students, thought he was in his dream, "What's going on here?"
Vivienne smiled at Mr. James, "The kids are pretty sensible."
Mr. James became speechless.
Don’t forget you were once a kid too! He thought.
Then she pointed to Collin, "His name’s Collin and he'll be teaching you chemistry."
She then introduced the other teachers.
One after the other, Vivienne had finished introducing all the teaching staff.
The students were over the moon!
All these teachers were graduates of Elite University!
Were these best graduates becoming their teachers from now on?
With their guidance, we can definitely do well in our exams, they thought.
So, everyone greeted the teachers loudly and energetically.
Mr. James smiled in satisfaction and said, "Good, it seems like I had some misconceptions about you
guys before. Study time is precious, so I won’t waste any more of it. From now on, we need to reassess
your studies and make a study plan for you."
Upon hearing that they were going to be assessed, the students were not annoyed, but excited.
"Thank you, Mr. James!" they all said in unison.
Vivienne gave a few simple instructions, then left.
The students of Class Eighteen would be living at the school from now on. Mr. James would be in
charge of their studies, while she would handle their daily life.
And she had other matters to attend to as well.
Just as she reached her office, Lysander arrived, accompanied by two people.
They were Thomas and Percival Ellington!
Percival was still in his wheelchair with Thomas pushing it from behind.
Vivienne turned around and saw Percival. She paused for a moment.
As soon as Lysander entered, he said to Vivienne with a smile, "Ms. Vivienne, I've found a PE teacher
for Class Eighteen. You'll have to work together." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
He introduced Percival to Vivienne, "This is Mr. Ellington. Say hello!"
Vivienne was quiet for a second.
She twitched her lips, then looked at Lysander and forced out, "Are you joking?"
Lysander was taken aback, then said seriously, "No, I'm serious."
After saying that, he touched his face and asked Vivienne seriously, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Vivienne became speechless again.
Just go away! I don't want to talk! She thought.
"I’m looking forward to working with ya, Ms. Vivienne" Percival extended his hand, and flashed a smile
at her.
His fingers were particularly good-looking.
Vivienne glanced at his extended hand, fell silent for a moment, and then opened her mouth , "Did your
family go belly up?"
Can't I ever catch a break? You're my fiancée, so how does my family going bankrupt benefit you?
Percival thought to himself.
He cleared his throat, then said seriously, "My granddad said that since I've got a fiancée now, I have to
support her myself, so he cut off my credit card. I'm broke."
Vivienne was lost for words.
You and your grandfather really know how to cause a trouble, she thought in her mind.
"We don't need a PE teacher in our class." Vivienne told Lysander, "There's only three months left until
the big exam, so our class is under a lot of study pressure. PE classes have been canned."
"About this…" Lysander glanced at Percival, a little troubled. He had no objections to Vivienne's
arrangements.
The class was different. They were way behind in their studies so they really need to rush up.
"Vivienne, as you know, I have a disability so no company wants to hire me. If you don't need me, I'll be
left high and dry. My granddad and Isolde are both depending on me and I need to take care of them.
I'm really strapped for cash." Percival said, sounding really pitiful.
Disabled? No company wants to hire you? Broke? What a nerve! She thought to herself silently.
Mr. Ellington, does your conscience not prick you when you say these things? Thomas, who’s standing
behind Percival, thought to himself.
"Um…" Lysander began to persuade her after seeing her cold silence, "Ms. Vivienne, the students do
need a balance between rest and study. How about we keep Mr. Ellington on?"
Before Vivienne could respond, Lysander added, "I've already signed a contract with Mr. Ellington, if he
doesn't stay, I'll have to pay him double his salary. Oh, by the way, his monthly salary is twenty grand."
Vivienne’s eyes widened.
What the hell? You literally pay a PE teacher twenty grand a month? Are you pulling my leg? She
thought.
