Chapter 117 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Mr. . Ellison was silent for a moment when he heard Nicole’s words on the other end of the phone. He did not doubt Nicole’s words. However, Austin and his gang were notorious for their stubbornness and unruly behavior. Moreover, Nicole had finally enrolled in the Royal Creek Institute as Mr. . Ellison wished, so he did not want Nicole to take any risk of leaving the school. But Nicole had already said those words. So there was nothing he could do about it. Upon seeing how Nicole was defending Austin and the gang, Gary’s grip on his pen tightened. ‘Why can’t Nicole get rid of her habit of talking big?’ Gary refused to admit the jealousy that was rising instantly within him. ‘Why is Nicole willing to go this far for these b*stards, and yet she does not even bother to look at me?’ Vivian also looked at Nicole in disbelief. ‘I did not expect Nicole to be so stupid. This monthly exam is rumored to be very difficult. Even I feel that I have not studied hard enough for it. Yet she still has the mood to tutor others. Others are fine, but in Austin, twelve-grade courses are hard to say. He is the first-to-last master of the grade every time. If you want him to be in the top 20, it is better to jump into the lake directly.
• ‘Others might be fine, but not Austin. To begin with, twelve-grade topics are very tough. And Austin has been getting the last place among students of the same grade. It’s easier for him to jump into a lake than to make it into the top 20. Vivian glanced at Gary quietly and found that he was looking at Nicole gloomily. She could not help but become jealous. ‘What the hell did Nicole do to enchant Gary? How did she attract his attention?’ Ms. Thompson could not wait to laugh. “Sure, Nicole. Let’s have a bet! But since Austin and his friends won’t listen to my lessons, they can’t be in my class anymore, and their grades won't be counted as ours!” Nicole looked at Ms. Thompson with no changes in her facial expression and replied, “Of course.” Mr. . Ellison’s voice came. “Nicole, have you really made up your mind?” Nicole gave him a flat positive response. Mr. . Ellison seemingly sighed, “Well, I’ll put Austin and his friends in Mr. . Louis’ class first.” Mr. . Louis was the teacher of the Math Olympiad training class. As soon as Nicole heard that the teacher was him, she quickly agreed to it. Then Nicole hung up the call and looked at Ms. Thompson. “You heard that?” Ms. Thompson and Mr. . Louis had a different teaching philosophy, so they were not on good terms.
• When she heard that Mr. . Ellison would put Austin and his friends in Mr. . Louis’s class, she was secretly happy. “Alright. It’s a deal!” Although Nicole had almost made Ms. Thompson lose her job, Ms. Thompson was overjoyed to get rid of those students who had performed poorly. It had even diminished the shame that she had felt when she apologized to Nicole. Austin and his gang, who were looking at Nicole, made up their minds. “Our boss is willing to defend us this way. We should not let her down!’ Ms. Thompson returned to her office happily. When she saw Mr. . Louis, who was studying the Math Olympiad problems, she said in a sarcastic tone, “I’m afraid you are not informed that those twelve graders at the bottom have all left my class!” Mr. . Louis ignored her. He was sitting there and taking a sip of his tea. “I see. They should have their teacher replaced since she is incompetent to teach.” Ms. Thompson got furious in her seat. She slapped the table and said, “Your students’ grades have been worse. They are often a few points less than my students’.
