Chapter 217

Cordelia paused for a second before turning to see Everard casually standing up. "I'm done with this class too," he declared, making his way towards the exit.

Cordelia was baffled.

Everard had his punishment for Lucille all mapped out in his head, but he didn't want to make a scene. Hence, his silence.

Well, Lucille can consider himself jobless come tomorrow.

With that thought, Everard strolled leisurely to Cordelia, ready to make a grand exit alongside the kids when another voice rang out-

"I'm done too."

Keen stood up and followed suit.

Everard was puzzled.
