The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 63

Parents were all gobsmacked by Collin’s words

“Is Vivienne really a PhD student? And is she also Mr. James’s student? Holy cow! That’s unbelievable!

When Lysander said Vivienne held two PhD degrees, they didn’t buy it.

Vivienne was brought in by Lysander, and they weren’t sure if it was a hoax or not.

But the fact that Mr. James’s team personally vouched for it meant it must be true.

A national champion at 14.

A PhD student at 16.

That was one in a thousand.

To have such a high achieving teacher at Cloudcrest High School, the students were so

lucky!

“My daughter’s been missing the admission score for top universities by over 20 points in her recent

exams. If Ms. Vivienne could tutor her, she’d definitely get in.”

“My daughter too. She’s good in humanities, but her science is not up to par. With a PhD student like

Ms. Vivienne guiding her, she should be able to improve.”

After their initial shock, the parents started discussing.

This time, everyone referred to Vivienne as a teacher.

As they were considering how to get Vivienne to teach other classes, an inappropriate voice fang out,

“Are you guys nuts? How can you just swallow whatever they feed you? If Vivienne really was a

national champion at 14 and had two PhD degrees at 16, why wasn’t it all over the news?”

The one who spoke was Hilda.

Everyone was stunned.

That was right!

Why wasn’t it all over the news?

A national champion at 14 should’ve been a piece of big newsl

it was definitely a big event that would have attracted attention.

All of them had kids, and some were in the same grade as Vivienne years ago, but they never heard of

a national champion named Vivienne

I can’t believe that Lysander, just so that Vivienne could get this far, even conspired with Mr. James to

deceive us Hilda sneered looking at Mr James, “You’re a highly esteemed

Chapter 63

professor, yet you teamed up with Lysander to puff up a country bumpkin to such high. status. I have

no respect for you. You can go teach Class Eighteen. My child doesn’t need a teacher like you!”

After a pause, Hilda added, “Vivienne is just a pretty face. You’re in your sixties, and you are old

enough to be her grandpa. Could it be that you have impure thoughts about her too?”

“That’s outrageous!” Mr. James roared, “You’re going too far, making up stuff and slandering people. If

you don’t get punished by the law, my sixty years of life would have been in vain.”

Mr. James furiously turned to Collin, “Get a lawyer right now. I want the Field family to receive a

lawyer’s letter within an hour. Tell the lawyer that I will not accept any settlement!”

“Huh, sue me. Go ahead. Do you think I’m scared of you? Shameless old man, ah?”

Before Hilda could finish her sentence, her neck was tightly gripped by Vivienne. Vivienne’s cold face

was covered with frostiness, her whole demeanor was icy. Her slender fingers tightly gripped when she

said with a chilly voice, “Do you think I’m easy to bully just because I didn’t fight back when you insulted

me?”

“You, you let go of me!” Hilda’s face turned red, her hands struggling to pry Vivienne’s hand

off her neck.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free from Vivienne’s grip.

“Vivienne, you dare to hit me! Let me tell you, if you lay a finger on me, my family won’t let you off!”

Unable to break free, Hilda started to threaten Vivienne.

Vivienne leaned into her ear, her icy eyes squinting. Her voice was colder than before, “I won’t hit you.

I’ll kill you!”

“You dare! We live in a society ruled by law!” Hilda stared at Vivienne, her heart filled with

terror.

Vivienne’s eyes were indifferent. When she said she would kill Hilda, there was no wavering.

At that moment, Hilda felt that Vivienne really could kill her.

“Vivienne, stop it!” Mr. James cried out anxiously, “Stop messing around. This is not Emerald Mountain.

Seeing Vivienne holding Hilda by the neck, Lysander and other parents were all stunned. None of them

could react in time.

Mr. James’s words brought them back to reality. Lysander quickly pulled Vivienne away, “Ms. Vivienne,

Hilda’s words were offensive. We can sue her. Don’t get yourself involved.”

Lysander was very angry at Hilda.

After Mr. James confirmed Vivienne’s identity, all other parents believed it. Only Hilda was still causing

trouble.

She even insulted Mr. James.

Chapter 63

Mr. James was Vivienne’s university teacher Now someone was insulting her teacher Nobody could

tolerate that, not to mention Vivienne

Other parents also tried to dissuade her ‘Ms. Vivienne, calm down. Don’t hurt anyone, Hilda

didn’t mean it.’

Although everyone agreed with Hilda’s words, no one dared to voice it out at this moment

Because Vivienne was too scary!

Those eyes were like the eyes of the king of hell, completely devoid of mercy

They all knew Vivienne was from the country, and might be a bit rough, but they didn’t expect her to

resort to violence in school. From the looks of it she was about to strangle Hilda

Vivienne’s icy gaze swept over everybody, then she indifferently looked away

She looked at Hilda, and coldly said, ‘Apologize to Mr. James

“You want me to apologize just because you say so? Why should I Seeing others defending her, Hilda

got her confidence back. She wasn’t afraid of Vivienne anymore, and she returned to her arrogant self.

“Mr. James is my teacher. You don’t have to say sorry unless you have a death wish) Vivienne

whispered coldly into Hilda’s ear. ‘Don’t underestimate me. I can make you disappear and no one

would know it was me.”

Hilda couldn’t help but shiver! Seeing Vivienne’s icy stare, she instinctively recoiled, pondering for a

moment before gritting her teeth and saying, Fire, apologize

Once she got out of this school, she’d make Vivienne regret this!

“Mr. James, I’m sorry. I was out of line just now, Hilda said respectfully

“I don’t accept your apology!” Mr. James retorted angrily “Go home and prepare yourself for legal

consequences.”

He overheard Vivienne’s threat to Hilda, and he knew she was capable of carrying it out.

He was touched. Despite her cold exterior, Vivienne was actually kind hearted.

He declined Hilda’s apology, partly to stand up for Vivienne, and partly to prevent Vivienne from acting

on her threat.

There were things that, once started, couldn’t be taken back

Vivienne had a bright future. There was no need to risk it for a

Then Vivienne let go of Hilda.

Hilda took a few deep breaths. She glared at Vivienne and grashed her teeth. We see

this later.”
