Chapter 106 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• She gave Nicole a fierce glare and then turned her head around. The monthly examination was about to be held, and no matter how much of an act Nicole puts up, she will not be able to perform. Vivian raised her head slightly with confidence as a smile appeared on her face. At this moment, the class bell had already rung, but Ms. Emerson did not walk in on time as usual; she only slowly entered the classroom after 15 minutes. She then opened up her teaching plan as she said,” I‘m sorry, students, now let‘s turn to the page.” Nicole frowned as she heard Ms. Emerson‘s voice. She noticed earlier that Ms. Emerson‘s eyes were a little red and wondered if she had cried earlier. The look in her eyes gradually darkened. After class, Nicole did not go to dinner with Lulu directly but instead followed Ms. Emerson back to the teacher‘s office. She stood outside the door and gave a polite knock on the door. After getting the acknowledgement to come in, she went into the room. Seeing that it was her, Ms. Emerson was quite surprised. “Nicole, why are you here?” Nicole responded softly, “I‘ve completed the two exercises and wanted to ask if you still have them, Ms. Emerson.” Ms. Emerson was quite taken aback.
• Any questions in these two exercises were enough to stump everyone, and Nicole was telling her that she had completed them. Although she had no idea how Nicole did it, Ms. Emerson did not ask too much. She instead took out another exercise from her drawer and said to Nicole, “There are only three sets of Mr. Hancock‘s questions. The last set is the most difficult. I originally wanted to save it for you until the final sprint, but since you‘ve already completed those, I‘ll give it to you now. So, prepare well for the exam.” Nicole looked at her and suddenly asked, “Ms. Emerson, when is the excellent teacher evaluation?” Ms. Emerson did not understand why she was asking that, but she still responded, “It should be some time after the monthly examination results are released. What‘s the matter?” Nicole looked at her thoughtfully but did not say much as she went, “Nothing. I‘ll take my leave first, then, Ms. Emerson.” Ms. Emerson nodded before saying, “Nicole, do your best. If you have any questions, you can ask Gary; his Math Olympiad level is very high, or if you know Norah, who is at the top of the grade, you can ask her as well. Although she is not participating in the Math Olympiad this time, her level is not bad either, and she should have more time to teach you.”
• 1 Nicole raised her eyebrows when she heard that, but she did not say anything else as she left with the exercise questions. Ms. Emerson, who was in the office, looked at Nicole‘s tall and slender frame. She then recalled the threat made by Mr. Kennedy this morning. He said that Nicole not only got zero in the Math Olympiad, but she also even bullied his student, and that she is a troublemaker and has no respect for her elders. He also said that the director is on leave today, and he will inform her of everything once she comes back tomorrow. In the end, he looked at her mockingly as he said, “You have nothing, so what are you doing here at Royal Creek Institute? Do you think you can get it by just teaching well? Even when I‘m no match for you, I still get to lead the best class, have the best students, and take the most awards. What right do you have to fight me?” When she thought of Mr. Kennedy‘s words, Ms. Emerson closed her eyes. She believed that Nicole would not have struck without reason, and now that it was almost exam time, she should not let this affect her.
