Chapter 184 Take Away
As the young lady pa*sed by Eileen, she accidentally bumped into her at the door.
Eileen heard some commotion at the entrance and was unsure of what was happening.
Noticing a fallen chair, Eileen approached and picked it up. Albert and Charlie’s attention.
turned to Eileen.
Internally, Albert scoffed. She has the audacity to come over!
Eileen glanced at them and then at Elm, who emitted a violent aura with blood on his She had encountered him during her time in Cla*s Six, and she had witnessed hist unpredictable temper before.
Eileen speculated that he might have bipolar disorder.
Without further questioning, she placed the notebook Vera had given her on his desk. “V” gave me her notes. Copy them later and return them to her. Remember to go to the infirmary to treat your hand.”
After speaking, Eileen left the cla*sroom.
The two nearby students dared not make a sound, feeling that the menace in Elm’s eyes had intensified. Speaking at this moment could be a fatal mistake.
Elm picked up the pink notebook, fl*pping it open to see the notes inside. It was indeed not Eileen’s notebook, and the first page had Vera’s name on it.
The notebook was ruthlessly torn in half in his hands. He threw it directly into the trash can without a second thought.
When school was over, Eileen remained unaware that the notebook had been torn apart. However, rumors began to circulate in the adjacent cla*s.
This time, the rumor was about Vera.
Eileen sat by the window near the corridor, listening to a few girls from Cla*s Two discussing as they went to the restroom together.
“Someone saw Vera’s notebook in the trash can today, and it was torn in half.
“Who knows what’s going on with them? Well, instead of worrying about them, I should. focus on how to handle the upcoming exam. Now that Elm is here, I’m finally not the last in cla*s.”

Did Elm tear up Vera’s notes? Oh no!
Eileen turned her head, casting a glance at Vera who was sitting in the row behind her.
She was perplexed.
When the last cla*s ended, Eileen went to Cla*s Two.
Whenever it was time to leave, the cleaner had to wait until there were no teachers before cleaning.
When almost everyone had left, Vera put her hands behind her back and walked up to Eileen, unexpectedly taking out a bottle of milk. “I got an extra one for
“School’s over. Why aren’t you going home yet?”
you today.”
Eileen could tell that she was still oblivious to the fact that her notebook had been torn.
“It’s nothing. I’ll go a bit later.”
Vera nodded. “Oh, okay! Then I’ll leave first.”
Eileen said, “Okay.”
Vera left with a few others, getting ready for the after-school Olympiad Math Cla*s. Alone, Eileen went to Cla*s Two. When the cleaner was about to take away the trash can, Eileen stopped her.
The cleaner looked at her strangely as she searched through the trash can.
Fortunately, the notebook wasn’t torn too badly, and the handwriting was still visible.
Eileen asked the cleaner for a plastic bag and put the notebook inside.
When will Elm change his temper? He tore up someone’s notebook without reason. What a waste.
As Eileen was about to leave, she heard a girl’s playful laughter from the corridor behind her. “Elm, where are we going later?”
“Where would you like to go?”
Eileen adjusted her slipping shoulder strap and turned around, only to see Elm with his arm around a tall, innocent, and beautiful female student. Judging by her uniform, she should be from the same school. The two walked right past her.
“Eileen!” someone shouted. Walking towards her, the person said, “Mr. Gardner asked you to go to his office.”

“Okay, got it.”
Eileen withdrew her gaze, unsurprised by his new girlfriend.
A man’s heart sure was a deep ocean of secrets.
After visiting the office and collecting the materials, she headed to the enrichment program.
Rather than calling it an enrichment program, it would be more accurate to call it a rigorous cla*s.
Originally, it was three hours long, and she could go home at nine, but it was extended until half past ten.
Their teacher was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, wearing reading gla*ses.
A test awaited them in the final hour and a half. Those unable to complete it were forbidden. to leave, and anyone who simply answered the questions would face the consequence of copying the questions a hundred times. Even those who finished early were obliged to wait until half past ten before being allowed to leave.
Eileen covered her mouth and yawned, completely unaware of the person outside the door.
“Ms. Eileen has it tough. She goes to school from seven until ten. Then, she has to do her. homework until midnight.”
Jasper peered through the window, his eyes crinkled up in laughter. “She’s just doing what she should at her age. She’s always been outstanding, right?”
Fabian nodded in agreement.
Some people were born with a natural talent for learning. Even if they did nothing, they would still achieve the best results.
However, those who didn’t have innate talent could only rely on their own efforts.
Someone noticed the man outside.
It caused quite a commotion,
“Who is that?”
“Could it be Jasper Smith?”
“How can that be? Isn’t he the CEO of Smith Corporation? How could he possibly be here?”
The earichment program was attended not only by students from other schools but also by

those from schools in other regions who were unaware of certain things.
The CEO of Smith Corporation had been on the magazine cover as one of the ten most influential figures. His looks had attracted the attention of many.
Anyone who claimed they didn’t know him would be considered ignorant.
Usually, people like him were not easily seen.
Resting her hand against her forehead, Eileen squinted her eyes, taking a short nap. Upon hearing the sounds from the cla*sroom, she curiously looked towards the door.
When she saw the person in the black suit outside the window, Eileen was stunned. Why is he
here?
Sitting on the podium, the teacher wearing gla*ses looked up and cleared his throat.
He expected them to quiet down, but someone took the lead and rushed out. “My idol!”
One after another, they ran out.
Eileen’s desk was almost knocked over in the commotion. Watching everyone run out, she was genuinely taken aback.
In just a few minutes, everyone was gone.
Eileen awkwardly received the thoughtful gaze of the teacher on the podium.
Who knew that his arrival would cause such a stir?
Gilbert instructed, “Submit your test, and you may leave once I have graded it.”
Eileen promptly handed in her paper. Turning around anxiously, she noticed that Elm had already attracted a crowd. If it weren’t for his remarkable height, being the tallest among them, Eileen would have struggled to locate him amidst the gathering.
“How did you end up in the enrichment program with these grades? Didn’t Jacob allow you to join directly?”
“Something happened earlier, so I took a break from school for a while. The Olympiad Math Cla*s was already full, so i had no other option but to join the enrichment program.
“You’re just taking up a spot in the enrichment program.” Gilbert glanced at her name once. more. “Are you Eileen Swan, the one who missed cla*ses for half a month?”
“Mr. Campbell, I was ill and had to take a leave.”

“Alright, you may leave now’ Take your friend with you. Do not disrupt the cla*s
“Yes, Mr. Campbell.”
Eileen swiftly gathered her belongings and slung her backpack over her shoulder. She maneuvered through the crowd and rescued Elm.
