Upon hearing these words, the already tense atmosphere in the classroom seemed to cool down slightly.

The first person to react was Milly. Her eyes widened in disbelief at his audacity to say such a thing in front of everyone.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the book from the table and hurled it at him. “What are you saying?!”

George smoothly caught the flying book. Instead of getting angry, he smiled indulgently and spoke in a half–coaxing, half–teasing tone, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. If you don’t want me to say anything, I won’t.”
