Chapter 96


    “What I do is none of your business, Mister Waldorf, You should worry about your own situation.” Pearl


    retorted, not wanting to back down and resorting to hurtful words.


    Richard wiped his l*ps with a napkin and said, “I’m only taking care of you because of my dad’s orders.


    I have no interest in being a busyb*dy.”


    “If you’re not interested, then don’t do it,” Pearl shot back, her annoyance


    growing.


    Mobius walked out of his room, noticing the tense atmosphere between them. “Why are you both frowni


    ng so early in the day? You’re not enemies.”


    Pearl dismissed it, saying, “Nothing is going on, Mobius. Time for breakfast. I’ll help you study in your r

    book within ten minutes.


    “Trust me, these are the questions that always repeat. As long as you put in some effort and memorize


    them, you’ll score eighty or above.”


    Mobius nodded. “Thank you.”


    “As for multiple–


    choice questions, just pick the wrong calctions. This is the finals so there wouldn’t be any difficult qu


    estions.”


    Pearl provided these insights from her own experiences.


    “Do you usually study at thest minute like this too?” Mobius asked out of curiosity.


    Pearl rolled her eyes, rolled up the book, and knocked his head with it. “No way. If I studied this way, not

    “Alright, I’ll focus on my studies next semester and not neglect them again,” Mobius promised.


    Pearl nodded in approval. “Good.”


    The following day was Mobius’s exam day.


    Pearl was in her room preparing medication


    for Simon. She mixed some pink powder with water and crushed Cuza Root into a fine powder, then po
