Chapter 43


    Bryan was so agitated that he forgot Catherine was still sleeping next to him. Now that she was awake,


    she looked cold with her brows furrowed.


    For no reason at all, Bryan couldn’t help but be slightly scared seeing her like this. He spoke nervously,


    “Catherine, L…”


    “It’s so noisy!”


    With her brows knitted, Catherine said this unhappily, which made Bryan shut up immediately.

    When the mathematics teacher saw Catherine looking so casual, she grew even more disdainful


    towards her.


    As Bryan stopped talking at just a lightment from Catherine, the mathematics teacher couldn’t help


    but grow even angrier.


    Bryan talked back to her all he wanted, even when she was the teacher.


    However, Catherine made Bryan shut up with three simple words. The mathematics teacher felt that


    she had been humiliated. It was as if she was not intimidating at all.


    The mathematics teacher rolled her eyes and looked at Catherine, speaking in a weird tone, What is it?


    Is the pig awake and ready to save the world?”


    The homeroom teacher hurried over as soon as she heard about this incident and happened to hear


    what the mathematics teacher was saying. She didn’t like what she heard at all and looked at the


    mathematics teacher with her face darkened.


    “Miss Adler, it isn’t right for you to call a student that, is it?”


    The mathematics teacher turned and saw that it was the homeroom teacher.


    She wasn’t afraid at all. Her father-inw was a member of the school board. Even if Ste DeFore was


    the homeroom teacher of ss 8, the mathematics teacher was not scared of her.


    She looked at the homeroom teacher with a fierce look, then said coldly, “Miss DeFore, as the


    homeroom teacher of ss 8, you didn’t discipline your students at all. You don’t have to thank me for


    doing it for you. You see, this girl that had just woken up, Catherine, sleeps like a pig every lesson. By


    taking her in ss 8, are you trying to drag the average scores down and make way for ss 7?”


    The grades of ss 7 were worse than that of ss 8,ing in second of the year. The homeroom


    teacher of ss 7 had considered overtaking ss 8 as his life-long ambition, as nobody would like to


    come in second forever.


    ss 8 was disdainful of what ss 7 did in the hope of overtaking them. After all, the average score


    of ss 8 was significantly better than that of ss 7. It wouldn’t be easy for them to overtake ss 8.


    However, that was based on the fact that every student in ss 8 had good grades. Even if a few of


    them scored a few marks lower, it wouldn’t affect the average score too much.


    Nheless, if a student scored zero marks in every exam, no matter how excellent the grades. of the


    rest of the ss were, they would undoubtedly be dragged down. By then, ss 8 would surely


    be the joke of the school.


    They would be mocked ten times harder than how theyughed at ss 7 before.


    None of the students had thought about it at first and were still immersed in how beautiful Catherine


    was and how Bryan treated her.


    Now that the mathematics teacher had reminded the ss, everyone understood immediately.


    Some of the students started to panic. One of them grabbed her deskmate’s hand and grumbled in a


    low voice, “What should we do? If we lose to ss 7, we’ll be a joke!”


    “Don’t you think I’m scared too? My sworn enemy is in ss 7. She has been doing everything


    possible to join ss 8 but never seeded. If ss 8 loses to ss 7, I’ll be so humiliated in front of


    her.”


    The whispers soon grew louder. The mathematics teacher smiled gleefully.


    She looked at the homeroom teacher and said, “Miss DeFore, it’s not that I have anything against the


    new student. You can see it too. I only said what everyone is worried about out loud. How can we let an


    illiterate bumpkin affect ss 8’s glory?”


    Even though the homeroom teacher thought that the mathematics teacher had gone too far, she had to


    admit the mathematics teacher had a point.


    Ste didn’t want to be mocked by the homeroom teacher of ss 7 too. She was struggling toe


    up with ae-back.


    Seeing that the homeroom teacher had gone silent, the mathematics teacher looked gleeful and


    grinned broadly. She held her head high and looked in Catherine’s direction.


    “For the sake of our ss, I suggest the new student join ss 7 and bring them hell instead.”


    After hearing the mathematics teacher’s words, Liana, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t help but smile


    with a hand over her mouth.


    She was the student helper in the mathematics lessons and the favorite of the mathematics teacher.


    She was overjoyed by how the mathematics teacher humiliated Catherine.


    It was too much. Bryan almost couldn’t stop himself from wanting to speak up for Catherine again.


    It was as if Catherine knew what he was thinking as she nced at him lightly.


    This time, Catherine shut Bryan up with just a look. It was truly amazing.


    One had to know that Bryan didn’t care about anyone when he got mad. It was unbelievable how he


    would stop with just a look from Catherine.


    After shooting Bryan a warning look, Catherine looked up at the mathematics teacherzily and


    casually.


    Despite being the subject of all the discussions, Catherine sat in her seat calmly. Her face remained


    cold and expressionless.


    If it weren’t for the fact that the mathematics teacher was talking about her, Catherine wouldn’t even


    bother to deal with this.


    Seeing Catherine had turned to look at her with cold eyes, the mathematics teacher couldn’t help but


    be flustered.


    However, when she remembered what Liana had told her about, she collected herself. The Swanns did


    not favor Catherine. She was the jinx kicked off to the countryside when she was young. What was so


    scary about her?


    After calming down, the mathematics teacher met Catherine’s eyes and asked coldly, “New student,


    why are you looking at me like this? Do you beg to differ?”


    She didn’t even call Catherine by her name. She was doing this to let Catherine know how much she


    despised her.


    The mathematics teacher wanted to see how embarrassed Catherine would be.


    With a careless smile, Catherine looked at the mathematics teacher and said coldly, “What a nag!”


    Bryan couldn’t help but burst intoughter. Catherine retorted in such a special way.


    As Bryanughed, a few students couldn’t refrain fromughing out loud too.


    The mathematics teacher’s face became pale and flustered then. It was such a funny scene.


    She stared angrily at Catherine and pointed a finger at her. “You….”


    Before she could finish speaking, a cold look from Catherine made her choke on her own words.


    “Since you care so much about grades here. We’ll do it your way, then. If Ie top in the year, does


    that mean I won’t have to listen to you quacking like a duck anymore?”


    Even though the mathematics teacher was quite good-looking, her voice was indeed quite hoarse.


    Most of the time, she would talk at a higher pitch. However, now that she was so mad, she had


    forgotten to speak at a higher pitch. She indeed talked like a duck quacking.


    Now, more students couldn’t help butugh out loud. Even the homeroom teacher was struggling to


    keep a straight face.


    The mathematics teacher was so angry that she was almost crackling as if she was on fire. She stared


    angrily at Catherine and said through gritted teeth, “With a bumpkin like you that had never received


    proper education? You’re dreaming to think that you cane top in the year!”


    Catherine hated others being all talk. The mathematics teacher, in particr, was full of talk. Catherine


    only looked coldly at her with a brow raised.


    “Just tell me, what would you do if I could?”
