The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)

Vivienne rubbed her temples, looking a bit helpless.

After a while, she looked up at Percival, her gaze sweeping over his legs, "Are you planning to teach

like this?"

Percival put his finger on his leg with a faint smile on his lips, "Although I'm disabled, it doesn't affect

my teaching."

"…Alright! If you insist, let's give it a shot. But I have to warn you that you can only teach two PE

classes a week." Vivienne said.

Vivienne did understand the importance of balancing work and rest. But Class Eighteen was a special

case with a heavy course load. She hoped to solidify the subject knowledge for Class Eighteen within a

month and then consider scheduling PE classes.

But Percival suddenly proposed to teach gym classes. That was something unexpected.

Oh well!

She decided not to make a fuss about it considering the strawberry cake he gave her.

"Alright." Percival agreed quickly.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Lysander breathed a sigh of relief, "Ms. Vivienne, could Mr.

Ellington share an office with you? I don't have a new office available at the moment, but I'll move Mr.

Ellington once I do."

"Sure." Percival answered.

Vivienne shot him a look and then told Lysander, "I have no problem with that."

With everything finally settled, Lysander left. He had only walked a few steps when he suddenly

remembered something and turned back, "Do you two know each other?"

He hadn't paid much attention to how Percival and Vivienne addressed each other when he first came.

At that time, he was worried that Vivienne might disagree. He also felt that mishandling the situation

might upset Percival.

Now that everything was resolved, he realized that Percival had been calling Vivienne by her name.

They didn't say anything, but Lysander understood it from their expressions. He chuckled before

leaving.

In Class One.

Twenty minutes had already passed since the bell rang. The students were watching the classroom

door anxiously.

Arabella Hawthorn was particularly nervous in the front row.

Suddenly, the door opened and the head teacher of Class One came in.

Arabella immediately stood up, "Ms. Olivia, when will Mr. James come?"

Ms. Olivia sighed, "Mr. James is not coming."

"What?" Arabella's face changed, "Why? Our classmates saw Mr. James come to school."

Mr. James arrived when the class was about to start, so most students didn't see him; only a few who

were late did.

Their class had a latecomer today, who happened to see the dean bring Mr. James into the school.

The student couldn’t see it wrong. But why did Ms. Olivia say that Mr. James wouldn't come?

"Mr. James did come to school, but he is here to teach Class Eighteen." Ms. Olivia looked regretful.

"Teaching Class Eighteen!?" The students of Class One were immediately stunned!

"How is that possible? Why Mr. James is teaching Class Eighteen? Do they deserve a teacher like

him? They've probably forgotten most of their knowledge, right? Isn't it a waste for Mr. James to teach

them?"

"We are Class One, the key class of Cloudcrest High School. Almost every one of us can get into a

great college. If Mr. James guides us, the whole class might get into even better colleges. Why would

they choose to teach Class Eighteen instead of our class?"

The students of Class One were very emotional.

They couldn't accept that Mr. James was going to teach Class Eighteen.

Arabella was also shocked by Ms. Olivia's words. She never thought that Mr. James would give up

Class One because of Class Eighteen! Had Mr. James lost his mind? She couldn't accept this

outcome!

"Ms. Olivia, do you know why Mr. James is teaching Class Eighteen? Will these teachers continue to

teach us?" Arabella asked.

"The head teacher of Class Eighteen invited Mr. James's team." Ms. Olivia looked approving while

saying, "I only found out today that Class Eighteen has a new head teacher. I heard she manages the

students very well. Seems like the principal made the right choice this time."

Ms. Olivia laughed, "I even heard the students of Class Eighteen greet their teacher this morning,

which was quite unexpected. But I don't know the details. This morning a lot of parents wanted the

principal to fire Ms. Vivienne, but it turns out she's a Ph.D. with double degree.."

Ms. Olivia was a gossip type, but she had been away from school for a couple of days because of

some family issues. When she came back today, she heard about the new head teacher of Class

Eighteen and how well she was managing the students, which piqued her curiosity.

Then she heard that Mr. James was coming to the school to teach. The students asked her to enquire

about the situation. She was also curious so she went to the principal's office.

In fact, many other teachers went too.

But the principal's office was in chaos so they didn't dare to go in.

Later on, a scuffle broke out inside. The other teachers were so scared that they bolted, leaving her to

observe from a short distance.

Only when the principal's office was empty did she go in to inquire about the situation.

Honestly, she was utterly awestruck by Vivienne.

Class Eighteen was a notoriously hard class to manage. Vivienne not only handled the class, but also

made them fall in line. That’s something most people couldn't pull off.

No wonder she acquired a double doctorate from Elite University at the tender age of nineteen.

"Double doctorate?" Arabella's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she looked at Ms. Olivia in

disbelief.

She thought she must have heard it wrong. Maybe she was just hearing things due to lack of rest.

But then, the next second, she heard Ms. Olivia say, "That's right. Ms. Vivienne not only has a double

doctorate from Elite University, but she's also the youngest Ph.D. student there. Mr. James was her

professor at Elite University.

Ms. Vivienne brought Ms. James here just to teach Class Eighteen. The principal wanted him to teach

other classes as well and he hoped Ms. Vivienne could discuss it through with Mr. James. But given the

ruckus caused by the parents today, that's probably not going to happen."

Facing a group of students, Ms. Olivia said, "Don't be discouraged. Class One is a top class, and as

long as you maintain your current level, you'll all be able to get into university smoothly. Mr. James will

officially start teaching Class Eighteen this afternoon, starting with some basic knowledge. I'll go talk to

Ms. Vivienne about auditing some classes. I can't promise anything in other areas, but if I gain some

experience in physics, I'll share it with you." NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Ms. Olivia is a physics teacher. She has always been obsessed with physics.

Ms. Olivia rambled on, completely oblivious to the shocked faces of Class One's students. Especially

Arabella and Coral Lockwood.

Coral and Arabella share a desk. Coral whispered in Arabella's ear, "Vivienne is a Ph.D. student? Why

didn't you guys mention this before? I thought she never went to school."

Arabella was brought back to reality, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I don't know how my

sister could be a Ph.D. student. I'm sure she never went to school. Maybe Mr. Ellington helped her buy

the certificate?"

"So that's it. I knew Vivienne's been lying all along!" Coral said angrily, "We can't get her kicked out of

school just because of a forged certificate. What a shame."

Arabella wore a worried expression, "I'm afraid if the authorities find out that my sister's certificate is

bought, it will be awful. It's illegal!"

Coral's eyes flashed on hearing this, "Hmph! People like her should be punished by the law."
