Chapter 22

Elise found him to be childishly funny. Why does he even care whether I participate in the Math Olympiad, or if I

humiliate myself? It’s not like he’s the one to be humiliated!

“Give me my book back!” She was angered.

However, the foolhardy Danny couldn’t care less about her. He then countered with a provoking face, “Nope.
