Chapter 15 You Are Sick in the Mind.

William asked her, “Mia, which one of them is your math teacher?”

She pointed at a middle–aged man with a buzz cut. The man was dressed in a formal shirt and pants, looking boring and uninterested.

William went up and greeted the teacher. “Sir, how are you? I’m Mia’s brother, William.”

The teacher nodded at him. “Oh, you’re Mia’s brother. Nice to meet you. Mia always has good grades. She scored 146 points on a math test not long ago and ranked first in the school.”

William replied, “Indeed. Mia has been talented in math since a young age. Sir, can I request that she represents the school in the National Math Competition for Middle and High Schools?”

The teacher considered his request and nodded. “She is capable of participating in that competition, but the school will need to assign the candidate a math teacher for the pre–competition coaching. There’ll need to be a budget allocation on that.”

William smiled. “Money is not an issue.”

Hearing that, the teacher nodded. “If so, I’ll get it arranged soon.”

The girl named Janet Langdon stood right beside the math teacher with her mother, a lady dressed in a luxurious outfit. The daughter seemed to have overheard their conversation and blurted out. “Sir, I want to join the competition too.”

The math teacher glanced at her. “Janet, your math is good, but you only scored 121 on the last test. So”

“Sir, I wasn’t in my element then. I promise I’ll rank first in the school next time. Believe me,” she announced confidently.

The math teacher had no choice but to agree. “Okay. I’ll talk to the principal about it.”

At that moment, a commotion broke out at the entrance to the meeting room. A group of parents barged in with a teen boy in tow. One of the middle–aged men scanned the room and bellowed, “Who’s Mia Barrett? Show yourself now!”

The timid Mia instantly paled and hid behind her brother. Meanwhile, Janet’s eyes lit up as she pointed at Mia. “That’s Mia Barrett, but why are you looking for her?”

The man rushed up to them and cursed, “You motherf*cker! How dare you seduce my son! You’re the reason his grades are freefalling, shameless b*tch! And where are your parents? Come up to me now!”

William’s stomach started aching from anger. He glanced at the short and chubby boy behind the parent and sniggered. “Watch your mouth! My sister would never be interested in that ugly and dense son of
