The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 48

Although Mr. Dennis and Ms. Abby didn’t voice their thoughts, they were actually in

agreement with Mr. Arkle,

Lysander was not upset, “Since I managed to invite her, she must have already graduated. As this year’s graduates impact the school’s reputation, with Ms. Vivienne in Class Eighteen, you guys should be more at ease”

“Principal!” Mr. Arkle voiced his dissatisfaction, “I have already stated, I can’t teach Class Eighteen, I won’t do it.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “You know better than anyone else what kind of hellhole Class Eighteen is. I advise you not to send this young girl there. She’s only around nineteen, and there’s no guarantee she’ll make it out of Class Eighteen in one piece, let alone be able to discipline the students there. Are you joking?”

Mr. Dennis and Ms. Abby both nodded in agreement, chiming in, “Principal, we get that you’re in a rush, but you’re hurting this girl with your actions.”

Lysander rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

They hadn’t seen Vivienne’s capabilities, so he couldn’t blame them.

But the task of acting as a substitute still needed to be carried out by them. Even if Vivienne was really capable, she couldn’t possibly teach all of Class Eighteen’s courses.

Lysander looked at Vivienne, “Ms. Vivienne, what do you think?”

In private, he referred to Vivienne as Ms. Vivienne, but in the school, he had to refer to her as Ms. Vivienne,

Vivienne gave a small smile, not taking offense at what the three teachers had said. She simply said, “Let the teachers rest for now. I’ll notify you when it’s time to start teaching.”

She was only responsible for maintaining order among the students, not for teaching.

Even so, she was capable of teaching!

But Mr. Arkle thought that Vivienne, so young and boastful, expecting them to cooperate with her, was simply laughable!

So, he responded sarcastically, “Great! If you can maintain order in Class Eighteen, I’ll give them extra lessons after school every day, free of charge.”

“Thank you, Mr. Arkle. Vivienne remained respectful throughout.
