Chapter 98

The students were required to wait outside of their respective classrooms.

Prior to Melanie’s arrival, she had gathered the information on Lily’s classroom and her seat. She immediately took Lily’s seat in Class 18.

Seated beside Melanie was a humble–looking middle–aged man clad in a new black suit. The sult appeared to be a mid–range outfit priced at a thousand dollars, probably bought

for the conference.

“Hello, there. Are you the father of Lily’s deskmate?” Melanie carried herself with elegance. While speaking, she silently examined the man with a glimmer in her eyes.

Enzo Mosley turned to Melanie and flashed her a genuine smile. “Hi, you must be Lily’s mom. Anya told me that Lily takes good care of her. I’ll thank you on Anya’s behalf.”

Melanie beamed. “Lily is a kind soul. Don’t mention it

After exchanging some pleasantries, Melanie picked up Lily’s test papers from the table. The sight of the contents sent her into a shock. Lily had scored zero in all five subjects save for math, in which she got one question correct

Lily might have answered every question on the math test, but most of her answers were incorrect.

Melanie fretted silently. “Does that mean Lily’s total score is 20? she pressed a hand on her head helplessly. Lily’s grades gave her a headache

Since the parent–teacher conference had not kicked off, Melanie decided to tidy up Lily’s messy desk. When she removed a book from the drawer, a bunch of stuff cascaded and fell onto the ground.

Melanie picked up the items and broke into a grin. Lily seemed like a pretty popular girl in school, as there were about 30 love letters in her drawer, and they were all from today! When Melanie was organizing the letters for Lily, a teenager with a buzz cut approached her with his head hung low. “Are you Lily’s mom? Can you pass her this letter for me? Melanie, upon recognizing the love letter in his hands, graciously accepted it with a smile. “Sure, I’ll pass it to Lily when I get home.”

The young man was taken aback by Melanie’s liberal attitude and blushed shyly, “Thank you, Madam‘

After that, the guy left from the back of Class 18 and arrived at acorner of the staircase, where two girls were waiting for him. He went up and whispered, “Heather, Thanded the love letter to Lily’s mom, but she didn’t look angry at all. She even promised to pass the letter to Lily at home.”

Dumbstruck, Heather’s eyes wavered Alexis was equally bewildered. “Are you sure?”

“Of course. Lily’s mom is pretty easygoing, it seems,” the guy replied.

Heather cast him a few looks before saying, “You may go now.”

After he left, Alexis sank into deep thoughts before turning to Heather. “Did you mess it up? Is the woman today Lily’s real mom instead of Mrs. Laurier?”

“That’s impossible!” Heather shot Alexis an icy look. “I checked. That woman is Mrs. Laurier without a doubt.”

“That’s pretty odd, then. Why isn’t she upset at all the love letters for her future daughter–in–law?” Alexis was puzzled. “The Lauriers will surely disapprove of an ‘easy woman‘ like Lily. Right?”

Heather stole a glance at Class 18 before looking away “Let’s head to the classroom for now.

Disgruntled, Alexis moaned, “Are we going easy on Lily this time?” She was hospitalized for a week when Lily injured her hand. Until now, she had trouble with her left hand, but thankfully, the injury did not affect her exam as she was right–handed.

Alexis had requested her family to look into the matter, but the investigation fell apart. Her father refused to reveal too much, only cautioning her to stay out of trouble with Lily, Naturally, Alexis would not let the matter slide. She resolved to make Lily pay the price for her injury. Heather scotted with a malicious glint in her eyes. “Goeasy on her? Not a chance” with that, she left
