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."

At Havencrest Preparatory Academy, the headmaster was a reserved figure who rarely appeared on campus. Yet Mr. Xavier was legendary across all Havencrest schools-famous for his unyielding principles and refusal to bow to power.
