My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon by Lydia Pierce

Chapter 288

The teachers exchanged looks, momentarily unable to respond.

They couldn't understand why Simon had such hostility toward Miles.

With no one challenging him, Simon felt more justified and continued, "As the saying goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Miles is just a hopeless underachiever. How intelligent can his sister really be? There's no way they cracked this problem independently." Frank shot back, "Then who do you think solved it?"

Simon frowned, grumbling in irritation, "Who knows..."

Leo, who had been quiet, shot Simon a displeased glance and spoke up coldly, "There's nothing wrong with Miles's intelligence. He used to be very exceptional, but something must have happened to him, causing him to lose interest in his studies.

"As teachers, it's our duty to always care for our students' well-being and to assist them promptly with their issues. We shouldn't look down on them just because their grades have slipped."

Simon showed a trace of displeasure as he firmly retorted, "Mr. Harrington, that's a serious accusation. I've never looked down on any students. I treat them all the same. It's Miles who's not living up to expectations!"

"Why should I expend my time and energy on a student who's beyond help?" Simon thought to himself.

Leo frowned and said coldly, like a reprimand, "When students don't live up to expectations, it's a teacher's duty to guide them, not to give up and slander them behind their backs."

Upon hearing this, Simon feigned a fearful expression and protested, "How could this be considered slander? Mr. Harrington, please don't wrong me!"
