The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

The second Percival finished speaking, Leopold, Thomas, and Lysander all looked like they’d seen a ghost.

What the heck had they just heard?

Percival was going to become a teacher?

Were they hallucinating?

Lysander was the first to pull himself together. He asked, hesitantly, “Mr. Percy, did you just say you’re going to be a PE teacher?”

Surely he’d misheard, right?

That was what Mr. Percy said, right?

“Is that a problem?” Percival’s gaze followed Vivienne into Class Eighteen, then pulled back.

“Uh, well.” Lysander hesitated.

Should he agree or disagree?

He mulled it over for a moment, then finally said, “Sure!”

He had to make this happen, no matter what!

“You handle it.” Percival paused, then said, “Don’t let anyone know my real identity. Use the name of Percival, the seventh young master of the Ellington family, for the hiring process.”

Lysander was stunned. He thought, “The seventh young master of the Ellington family, isn’t he disabled? Why would Mr. Percy pretend to be him?”

He had never met Percival and didn’t know the man standing before him as Mr. Percy was actually the so-called useless young master of the Ellington family,

But he quickly pieced together some things. Percival and Mr. Percy.

“I get it.” Lysander showed Percival around the campus. After getting a brief understanding. Percival left with Leopold and the others.

Back in the car, Leopold couldn’t hold back anymore. He asked, “Mr. Ellington, are you trying to escape some trouble by becoming a teacher? We’re really busy, you know? We still haven’t found that potion, and people from GTO has reached Havenwood. Shouldn’t you be rushing to find the potion instead of messing around with teaching?”
