The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 63

Parents were all gobsmacked by Collin’s words

“Is Vivienne really a PhD student? And is she also Mr. James’s student? Holy cow! That’s unbelievable!

When Lysander said Vivienne held two PhD degrees, they didn’t buy it.

Vivienne was brought in by Lysander, and they weren’t sure if it was a hoax or not.

But the fact that Mr. James’s team personally vouched for it meant it must be true.

A national champion at 14.

A PhD student at 16.

That was one in a thousand.

To have such a high achieving teacher at Cloudcrest High School, the students were so

lucky!

“My daughter’s been missing the admission score for top universities by over 20 points in her recent exams. If Ms. Vivienne could tutor her, she’d definitely get in.”

“My daughter too. She’s good in humanities, but her science is not up to par. With a PhD student like Ms. Vivienne guiding her, she should be able to improve.”

After their initial shock, the parents started discussing.

This time, everyone referred to Vivienne as a teacher.

As they were considering how to get Vivienne to teach other classes, an inappropriate voice fang out, “Are you guys nuts? How can you just swallow whatever they feed you? If Vivienne really was a national champion at 14 and had two PhD degrees at 16, why wasn’t it all over the news?”

The one who spoke was Hilda.

Everyone was stunned.

That was right!
