The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 64

Vivienne eyed Hilda’s retreating back with a frosty gaze. She reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and was about to dial a number when a pair of old hands landed on her shoulder.

Turning her head, she saw Mr. James shaking his head at her. After a moment of silence, she put her phone back in her pocket.

She had almost lost her cool.

She had more important things to do after coming down from the mountain. If she blew her cover, it would mean trouble for her family.

Vivienne retracted her gaze. She turned to the other parents and declared coldly, “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that you guys can’t decide whether I stay or go. If you have any doubts about my qualifications, you can check it out with the right people.”

She lifted her head, her aloof eyes sweeping over everyone, “Don’t try to teach me how to live my life. You have no right to do so!”

With that, Vivienne headed off to Class Eighteen with Mr. James and the rest of their party.

They left Lysander and a dozen parents in the room. Lysander looked at them, sighed, and then explained patiently, “Ms. Vivienne’s qualifications can be verified with the authorities. I went through a lot of trouble to get her here, so I won’t fire her.”

“Furthermore, since her arrival, she managed to get the students of Class Eighteen to fall in line in just one class. Regardless of her qualifications, the fact that she managed to bring order to Class Eighteen is something to celebrate. Don’t you want your kids to have a good learning environment?”

“Mr. James’s team was brought in by Ms. Vivienne. Now the students of Class Eighteen are bad in their academic performance.. They will create a study plan for Class Eighteen students. Once their performance stabilizes, I’ll discuss with Ms. Vivienne about having Mr. James tutor the other classes.”

After hearing Lysander’s words, those parents didn’t argue further and left.

Of course, they wouldn’t go to the authorities to verify if Vivienne really had a PhD. Like Hilda, they didn’t believe she could have one. But, with the situation as it was, they wouldn’t stop Vivienne from continuing to work at the school.

Most importantly, having Mr. James give lessons to other classes was a good thing. Given the current situation, Mr. James’s team would stay in Havenwood until the exams were over. This was good news for the parents.

Vivienne led Mr. James’s team to Class Eighteen. Just as they reached the classroom door, someone called out, “Stand up!”

Immediately, all the rest students stood up and greeted her with respect, Good morning, Ms.
