Chapter 771

A lot of hands shot up to answer the question, but Marcus looked straight at Millie.

“Millie, can you answer the question?”

Millie froze. She didn’t hear the question since she was focused on the phone.

Marcus saw the panic on her face and realized that she really wasn’t listening. His frown deepened.

“Please stand up and answer my question.”

Millie nervously stood up as twenty pairs of eyes stared at her.

It was still strange to see Marcus standing on the podium.

Millie bit her lower lip and asked in a low voice, “Can you please repeat the question?”

Marcus stepped down and walked towards her. Her heart was racing and she could hear it thumping in

her ears. She had never been put on the spot like this in class.

Marcus looked down and grabbed her phone under the book. Just then, a message from Leon came in.

“Okay. Call me when you’re free.”

His eyebrows creased together. Why was she texting Leon?

“Go and stand in the back of the classroom.”

Millie wasn’t sure she heard him right, but Marcus had already turned around and was back on the

stage.

Millie reluctantly dragged her feet to the back of the classroom.

“From this data, we can conclude that pendant necklaces are the most popular, and among them,

collarbone chains are highly favored…”

Millie felt so dumb as she listened from the back of the class. It was such a simple question that she

could have easily answered if she only paid attention.

It wasn’t until Marcus left the class at the end of it that Millie returned to her seat.

She drummed her legs restlessly while the students some distance away began talking about her.

“Did you see that? It was only the first class, but Mr. Thomas already singled her out and punished her.

That speaks for itself I think.”

“That true. She really isn’t being treated well in the Thomas family.”

“Oh, this is so funny. See how grown she is, yet she was made to stand like a little child. I’ve never

seen anything like it.”
