Ellinor whispered to Devin, âDonât sweat it, she wonât cause me too much trouble. Devin, can you get breakfast delivered to my room? I need to keep an eye on Ms. Blanchetâs homework.â
Devin nodded, âNo problem, Iâll have breakfast sent up right away. If Ms. Blanchet gives you any more trouble, you know where to find me!
Ellinor flashed an OK sign, then shooed Devin out and closed the door.
Veronica hadnât made much progress on her exercises, even after Ellinor finished her breakfast.
Ellinor didnât rush her, she just sat quietly on the side scrolling through her phone It was noon, and Veronica finally finished the last page of the workbook and handed it to Ellinor âIâm done! Now letâs see what excuses youâve go!! Veronica said Ellinor put down her phone, took the workbook, and started checking. As she flipped through the pages, she suddenly burst into laughter.
Veronica felt uncomfortable She frowned and asked âWhy are you laughing?â
Ellinor shook her head and said. Ms Blanchet. I think I overestimated youâ
Veronica was slightly pissed off. What are you trying to say? Speak up?â
Ellinor put the work book on the table and said I shouldâve bought you a third-grade workbook, not a fifth-grade oneâ
Veronica was taken aback, then she immediately got angry. Ellinor! Are you saying Iâm at a third-
graderâs level?â
Ellinor stroked her chin as she looked at Veronicaâs answers. âMaybe not even third grade, more like second. You spent all morning on this and didnât get a single question right You dont even know the basics of elementary school Ms Blanchet, what were you doing when you were in school?â
Veronica was furing âJust cause you said I got them wrong, doesnât mean I got them wrong. I think youâre just trying to weasel out of your promise. If you didnât want to buy me the Hermes bags, you shouldnât have promised!
Ellinor calmly said. If you donât believe me, we can send this workbook to your college classmates to correct Veronica was very conscious of her dignity, there was no way she would agree to this, âEllinor you Ellinor calmly handed her a tablet. If you donât want to embarrass yourself in front of your classmates, then learn whatâs in here.
Veronica was confused Whatâs in here?â
âThis is a course I downloaded After you finish the course, redo these questions. If you can get half of them right, my offer for the ten Hermes bags still stands.â
âEllinor, are you teaching me a lesson? Veronica asked Ellinor raised an eyebrow, Iâm teaching you how to do exercises. But if you donât want me to teach you, I can call your brother and have him come teach you: Though, if your brother finds out how bad you are at elementary school knowledge, he might get pretty angryâ
Veronica was annoyed, she definitely didnât want Theo to come back and teach her Knowing that Ellinor would really rat her out to Theo, Veronica begrudgingly took the tablet She put on the headphones and started listening to the elementary school course When Veronica was a kid, she just went to school to play. Because of her family background, the school teachers didnât dare discipline her So, her educational foundation was poor, her academic performance was terrible, and she only got into middle school and university because of her family connections She didnât think there was anything wrong with poor academic performance She thought she didnât need to learn those things. She believed she didnât need to work of support herself when she grew up.
Because there was plenty of money at home for her to splurge, she thought studying those useless things was a waste of her time and energy Ellinor was actually making her relearn the things she considered useless, it was utterly incomprehensible.
After being forced to listen to an hour of the course, Veronica picked up the workbook again, erased the wrong answers, and rewrote them.
