Chapter 31


    Chapter 31


    Elise ignored his provocation and opened her textbook to look at the new topics they would be learning


    later, as


    if she was not interested in knowing the results of the Mathematics Olympiad.


    Danny let out a cold snort and turned around to look at Mr. Winfrey. Then, he added, “Mr. Winfrey, could


    it be that


    our ss didn’t score very well? Honestly, it’s not a surprise, though. After all, the Mathematics Olympiad


    is well known for its difficulty. One has to be really talented to score well.”


    Mr. Winfrey chuckled in response. “You are right, Mr. Griffith. Thepetition this time was even more


    difficult than before. However, Miss Sinir from our ss scored a hundred out of a hundred for the


    paper.”


    It was as if he threw a heavy stone in the water, sshing water in every student’s heart.


    “How is it possible? This is impossible!” Danny’s face immediately darkened. Never in a million years did


    I expect


    to lose so terribly!


    Meanwhile, the other students in the ss also looked at Elise incredulously.


    This in-looking girl, who even pulls down the average good looks of our entire ss, actually scored


    full marks at


    the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition? She is on a whole other level!


    No one knew who started it, but someone started pping for her.


    Right after that, the entire ss boiled with excitement as they pped fervently for Elise. Only Danny


    sat there


    sullenly.


    “Miss Sinir,e share your experience with everyone.”


    Elise expected that she would score at least 95 marks in thepetition, but she did not expect that she


    got it


    right for the secondst part of the final question.


    It’s all thanks to Alexander’s notes.


    Elise then stood up andmented, “Thanks, everyone. Something that I do for this is to practice as


    many


    questions as I can. It’s only by working on many different questions that I was able to use them as


    examples to


    find the solution. If you do this, you will definitely achieve great results in Mathematics.”


    “You’re the best, Elise! No wonder you did many exercises. I think you even finished ten exercise books.


    You’re


    amazing!” Mika said earnestly.


    Mr. Winfrey also agreed with her. “I hope everyone will learn from Elise and outperform yourself in


    Mathematics.”


    After Elise sat back on her seat, she subconsciously met Danny’s eyes and smiled while he averted his


    gaze


    grudgingly and clenched his fists tightly next to his body.


    During lunch break, the rest of their ssmates surrounded Elise to ask her about study tips.


    At this moment, Danny pushed them away and walked directly to Elise. “Ugly Elise… Oh-Elise, I mean.”


    It was the first time Danny changed his nickname for her and stopped calling her ‘ugly’.


    “I’ve lost the bet this time and I’m willing to concede my defeat. From now onwards, I will not find faults


    with you.


    Apart from that, I, Danny Griffith, admit that you are my boss for now. From now onwards, as soon as I


    see you in


    school, I will take another route.”


    Danny actually meant it when he said this.


    Before this, he had been looking down on her, thinking that she was just a country girl. After this incident,


    however, he learned his lesson and would not bully her anymore.


    “It’s such gentlemanly of you to concede defeat. To be honest, I’m quite impressed, Danny.”


    Upon hearing that, Danny pursed his lips. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he still said obediently,


    “Boss.”


    Seeing how unwilling he looked right now, Elise felt the anger from beforepletely disappearing.


    “Alright. Let’s have peace and not antagonize each other.”


    Danny hummed in agreement to show that he understood.


    He looked rather sullen after he lost his bet. On top of that, Jack kept tagging him in their group chat to


    ask


    about Elise’s results. In the end, Danny threw his phone aside in annoyance andpletely ignored him.


    This


    time around, he waspletely embarrassed.

    After Elise got the first ce in the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition and became the only other


    student


    who scored full marks apart from Alexander, she instantly became the favorite of other teachers.


    In almost every other subject, the teachers loved to choose her to answer their questions, especially her


    Chinese teacher, Miss Woods, who realized that Elise’s Chinese was actually quite good. Thetter’s


    spoken Chinese was good and she had perfect pronunciation. In short, Miss Woods was impressed by


    her.


    After school, she asked Elise to her office privately. “Elise, did you study Chinese back in the


    countryside?”


    After thinking about it, Elise nodded in reply.


    In fact, she had been studying in private international schools that taught them bilingually. Hence, her


    Chinese


    had always been quite good since young. On top of that, she was even an exchange student and studied


    abroad for a year, which naturally meant that her Chinese would be better than the rest of the students.


    However, since Miss Woods still thought that Elise studied in the countryside before this, thetter did


    not find it


    a good idea to exin this.


    “I guess so.”


    Miss Woods smiled. “I have to say that your Chinese is way better than any other high school student


    and you


    are quite courageous too. Coincidentally, our school is hosting a Chinese Week next month and it will


    have a public speakingpetition. I would like to nominate you and Jasmine to represent our ss to


    take part in the


    Public speakingpetition during Chinese Week?


    Elise was not too enthusiastic about it, so she immediately rejected, “I’m sorry, Miss Woods. I’m not


    really interested in thispetition, so I think I’ll pass.”


    Miss Woods did not expect that Elise would reject her like that. After all, this was a dream opportunity for


    many


    other students. The public speakingpetition held in their school was just a preliminary round. If the


    students


    performed well, it was highly probable that they would join the state-levelpetition and if they won,


    they


    would automatically be enrolled in one of the best universities in the city that specialized in foreign


    languages.


    The lucky students would even get the opportunity to skip the finals and directly enroll into a top


    university. To


    most of the students, this was an important opportunity.


    Miss Woods thought that Elise definitely would not know the backstory to it, so she said, “It’s alright.


    There’s


    some time before thepetition begins. You can think about it before making a decision.”


    Although Elise’ really did not have the intention to join thepetition, she did not outright reject Miss


    Woods


    either. “Alright, I understand. Do excuse me.”


    “Sure thing.”


    As soon as Elise walked out of the office, Jasmine immediately blocked her way.


    “Elise, why did Miss Woods ask to see you?”


    Upon hearing that, Elise arched her eyebrows. “What does this have to do with you?”


    However, Jasmine did not n to let her go just like that. “Elise, don’t be cocky just because Miss Woods


    treats


    you better than others. You better tell me what she told you. Otherwise, you’ll suffer!”


    Elise did not take Jasmine’s words seriously at all.


    “Whatever.”


    With that, she directly walked away, leaving Jasmine stomping her feet behind her.


    Just wait and see, Elise Sinir.
