Darryl and Dax got into a fight on the first day of school and were punished to run a hundred laps around the sports field. He did not want to run again!
“What a joke! ” Dax huffed and sat back down. “ Darryl, I can’t believe you can put up with their nonsense.”
Declan felt emboldened after seeing Dax sitting back down. He pointed at Darryl and said, “Darryl, you probably have nothing left to say since you know you’re in the wrong.”
The entire classroom burst into laughter in an instant.
Isabella was anxious and said, “Students, enough. Stop bringing up the past. Let’s begin our lesson.”
Isabella felt sorry for Darryl.
She lost the competition yesterday because of her own mistake. Never did she think Darryl would be the one to shoulder the blame.
The class settled down a little after hearing Miss Monte’s scolding, but several students still quietly spoke about Darryl.
At that moment, footsteps were heard by the classroom door, and following it was a knock on the door.
“Excuse me, is this Miss Monte?”
The entire class immediately focused their gaze toward that direction. A man in a suit stood by the door who was clearly not an ordinary man with his refined appearance.
Isabella was about to begin her lesson but placed the textbook down upon hearing the sound. “That would be me. Who would you be?”
The students were very curious.
This person seems like a fine man, could it be Miss Monte’s suitor?
At that moment, the man walked in holding an antique box and toward Isabella with a smile. “ Greetings Miss Monte, I’m an Elixir Master from Jiangnan Elixir Association. My name is Joel Seaworth. I’m here to present you with your reward.”
Reward?
Isabella raised her eyebrow. She did not even manage to get into the top 10, how could she get a reward?
At that moment, the entire classroom of students was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Did Darryl not take Isabella’s place and ruined her chances of winning?
Why was there still a reward?
Darryl sat among the crowd’s confusion with a smile. It seemed Ophelia was quite a trustworthy person.
Yesterday Ophelia said she was going to provide compensation for Isabella, and today someone had already arrived early with her reward.
