Chapter 101
After the parent–teacher conference, Melanie headed back home.
Before leaving, she pulled Loid aside and reminded him, “Mr. Everton said that with parents and the school cooperating, Lily can achieve good grades. I’ve already arranged for the SAT practice test to be sent to Anmer Heights. I’m entrusting this to you.”
Melanie parted Loid on the shoulder. “Son, I’m giving you an opportunity. You need to put in extra effort so you don’t drive away my daughter–in–law.”
Loid pinched his brow, feeling somewhat speechless. But he didn’t say anything. Focusing on Lily’s studies seemed like a good plan, but Loid wasn’t sure if she would be willing to
cooperate.
After Melanie left, Loid and the others got ready to leave too.
Shaun and Daniel also came, but they didn’t go into the classroom. They wanted to roam around Ember Creek High School to reminisce about their high school days.
Loid:
I gave Shaun and the others a call. Soon, they arrived, and they all went back together.
On the road, Loid leaned against the window with a slight smile, looking at Lily. “Your teacher thinks highly of you,” he said, in a good mood.
Lily turned to him, raising an eyebrow
“So, my mom wants me to supervise your study. Practice tests have been sent to Anmer Heights, one for each day,” Lold said, his smile growing.
Lily, expressionless, looked at Loid briefly and said, “Do you have nothing better to do?”
“This is for your own good,” Loid replied calmly, adjusting his position.
Lily conceded, saying nothing
Shaun leaned back in his seat and jokingly asked, “Lily, can you share some tips for scoring 20 points?”
Lily leaned back in her chair lazily and asked, “Why?”
“just wondering, how can someone be so stupid? With a total score of 750, you only scored 20 points,” sham said, touching his earlobe. “You’re a girl with a personality. At least try to get a few more points.”
time, I’ll alm for 21 points.”
Lily nodded thoughtfully and said, “You’re right. Next time, I
Loid and Shaun were both rendered speechless by her comment, Shaun wanted to pry open her mind and see what she was thinking, but he didn’t have the guts to do so. “You’re a smart girl. Why do you always act foolishly at critical moments? Why can’t you be like your sister? She keeps bothering you every other day, flaunting her academic achievements in front of you. Why not excel to prove you’re capable too?”
Shaun genuinely worried for Lily. The children in Martinez’s family were all troublemakers. They always bothered Lily for no reason. If Shaun were younger, he’d surely teach them a lesson
“I’m not interested,” Lily said lightly.
“You…” Shaun was about to say something in response when Lily’s phone rang.
She answered the call and heard Anya’s urgent voice on the other end. “Lily, Poppy is about to jump into the river. I can’t stop her. Please come and help!”
Lily’s pupils contracted, and her voice turned cold. “Give me the address“)
“Sapphire Flow,” Anya reported the address before hanging up.
Loid was close to Lily and heard the phone call. His expression turned cold. “Daniel, Sapphire Flow.”
Daniel acknowledged and accelerated the car. Lily clenched her fist tightly, her expression unusually cold, radiating a chilling aura.
After a few minutes, they were still in the city.
Lily’s eyes narrowed. “Stop the carl”
Daniel obediently stopped. Lily got out of the car and walked to the driver’s seat, opening the door.
“Sit in the back!”
Daniel glanced at Loid. Seeing him remain silent, he obediently moved to the back seat.
