The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 58
In the broadcasting room, the announcement was being played over and over again, making Arabella and Coral cringe in
embarrassment.
Sure, the school had a system for criticizing mistakes, but it was usually done briefly during school assemblies. But today,
through the loudspeaker, it was announced continuously.
And it was loud, making sure everyone heard it.
What’s worse, Vivienne only asked the principal to criticize them, but he not only criticized them but also marked a demerit on
their records.
The college entrance exam was coming up, and a demerit could affect their future!
Arabella’s hand clenched tightly, her sharp nails digging into her flesh. She didn’t notice the pain, and her delicate face was filled
with anger.
She took several deep breaths, suppressing her anger, and managed a forced smile. “Sis, we’re family, are you really gonna
treat me like this? I know you don’t like me, because Dad adopted me, and you think I stole your happiness. But I never intended
to compete with you. Ever since you came back, I’ve been giving way to you, but why can’t you let me be?” Tears streamed
down her face, her crying was heartbreaking.
Vivienne glanced at her indifferently, “Please call me Ms. Vivienne! If you don’t want to, I don’t mind giving you another
announcement.”
Vivienne was not interested in Arabella’s hypocrisy. On the contrary, she thought Arabella had a knack for acting. If she entered
the entertainment industry, she would definitely win
awards.
But she thought this kind of acting was just too fake.
She turned around and walked out with Charlotte. After a few steps, she stopped. Her voice was filled with a hint of coldness,
“Arabella! I don’t care what your plans are for the Hawthorn family, but if you dare to plot against Mr. Hawthorn and the others, I’ll
make sure you get to know me.”

Then she left without looking back.
Logan and Oberon and the rest of Class Eighteen immediately followed.
“Ms. Vivienne, aren’t you eating?” Logan looked apologetic, “There were so many people. We’ve been queuing for a long time
and still haven’t gotten our food.”
“I’ll treat you guys to a meal outside.” Vivienne couldn’t stop thinking about the cake from the buffet Charlotte mentioned!
“Great!” The students of Class Eighteen were thrilled.
After they left, the students in the cafeteria were stunned.

They hadn’t heard the announcement on the broadcast.
Knowing that Vivienne was Class Eighteen’s teacher, everyone was shocked.
They couldn’t even hear the noise outside.
After a long while, someone shouted, “Oh my god, Class Eighteen’s head teacher is a girl who’s almost our age! And she’s got
Class Eighteen all sorted out!”
“Yeah! I went to get food just now and saw Logan in line. I thought I was seeing things.”
“Ms. Vivienne is amazing, isn’t she? How did she manage to tame those unruly students?”
The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder, and everyone was praising Vivienne.
Arabella listened, feeling very embarrassed.
In the past, when she was in trouble, these students would help her. But today, even though
she had hinted, no one stood up for her.

They were even praising Vivienne.
“I think Ms. Vivienne is special. Not only did she render the students of Class Eighteen powerless, she even got the principal to
defend her. She only wanted the principal to criticize Arabella and Coral, but the principal even marked them a demerit.”
“Didn’t you hear the conversation between Ms. Vivienne and Arabella? Ms. Vivienne is the biological daughter of the Hawthorn
family. I heard my mom say a few days ago that Dorian found his lost daughter who had been missing for ten years. But Ms.
Vivienne is even more
beautiful than Arabella.”
“I think it’s strange. Arabella just said that it was Ms. Vivienne who was targeting her, but it was obviously Arabella who provoked
first.”
Hearing these words, Arabella turned pale.
These ungrateful people!
When they needed her help in the past, they would flatter her. But now, seeing Vivienne become a teacher, they changed their
attitude immediately.
Arabella looked at Coral with a wronged expression, “Coral, I didn’t know it would turn out like this. I just saw my sister here and
wanted to say hello. She probably doesn’t like me.”
Coral, who had been unjustly marked a demerit, was very angry with Vivienne. Hearing the students blaming Arabella, she
couldn’t help but retort, “What do you guys know? It’s clearly Vivienne who’s been causing trouble for Arabella since she came
back. She’s just jealous that Arabella is better than her.”
The students fell silent.
Coral continued to defend Arabella, “She came to be a teacher through special channels. You guys investigate. Who doesn’t
know she grew up in the countryside? She didn’t step out of the mountains for ten years. Did she even go to school? Don’t you
guys know what kind of

people are in Class Eighteen? If she can manage the students of Class Eighteen, it proves that she is even more ruthless. Her
managing Class Eighteen will only make things worse. Having her in school is an insult to us. And tell me honestly, are you
willing to call someone who hasn’t been to school a teacher?”
Some of the students began to waver
That was right!
Vivienne never went to school, but through special connections, she became a teacher. She might be able to discipline the
people in Class Eighteen, but she was a teacher in this school. As a teacher, they should greet Vivienne respectfully.
After all, they were not like the people in Class Eighteen. They knew respecting teachers was
the basic courtesy.
But honestly, they didn’t want to accept such a person as a teacher.
“Coral, zip it. I think my sis just finds teaching fun. Give it a few days and she’ll probably lose interest and quit.” Arabella chimed
in.
Hearing this, some students got riled up. “Does she think teaching is a game? What does she think this place is? This is a place
for learning, not for her amusement.”
“Exactly! This is a crucial time for us. We have college entrance exams in three months. Wel can’t afford to be messed up by
her.”
“No way! I have to tell my parents and get them to talk to the principal. We can’t have her messing around in school. It’ll affect my
studies. If that costs me my college admission, it’d be a total disaster.”
“Yeah, I’ll get my parents on it too! She can’t be allowed to work here!”
Seeing everyone getting ali fired up, a smirk crept onto Arabella’s face.
She thought, “Vivienne! You were not even in my league! Let’s see how the mighty Ellington family is going to stand against the
pressure from the parents on the principal.”

Just as everyone was getting ready for dinner, a student burst into the cafeteria, all excited, ‘Guys, check Twitter! Mr. James from
Elite University’s physics department just posted that he and his team will be coming to teach at our school!”
“What!” The students were flabbergasted. “Mr. James is the most authoritative professor in Elite University’s physics department.
All his students are super talented.”
“More importantly, Mr. James is bringing his team. They were all professors, and they all teach different courses.”
“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s phone home, and get our parents to pressure the principal to kick Ms. Vivienne out. We
can’t let Mr. James know our school has a teacher like
her.

So, the students sprang into action.
Arabella’s smile got even brighter.
It seemed that even the man upstairs was on her side.
