The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 36

Chapter 37

Twenty minutes later, an elderly man with silver-streaked hair entered the classroom, the homeroom teacher of Class 8 trailing closely behind.

The teacher quickly introduced him. "Everyone, this is Mr. Xavier, our school's headmaster."

The announcement stunned the entire class.
