His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 44: First Place in the Whole Class 

No one inside the classroom believed that Melody could be the top student in the class.

After all, Sanguine High School was the city's most famous high school, and Class 8 was the school's top class.

Half of the students who graduated from the class were accepted into prestigious universities due to their effort.

There was even news that the prestigious universities fought at the school gate to recruit a Class 8 student.

It was evident that the students had exemplary grades.

The math teacher didn't believe her at all.

For her, a student like Melody, who didn't even know a lot of complex terms, would not have the chance in the class's first place.

The first place in Class 8 means first place of the whole batch.

It was meant to be that way.

She smiled sarcastically in response to Melody's provocation and said, "Since you dare to boast, I'll play with you.If you can get first place in class on the exam next week, I'll apologize to you in front of the whole school”

As soon as she finished speaking, Melody added, "Also, admit that you're the pig and not me!"

She heard what the math teacher said just now.

The math teacher's expression was fascinating when Melody spoke.

She was so angry that her face became distorted.

Before the math teacher could even say anything, Lance stepped forward and helped Melody.

He said, "Teacher, I believe what Melody said is correct.If she wins first place in class, you've made a mistake in your assessment.So, do you think Melody will take back her words?"

Ms.Scott was furious, but it was difficult for her to back down now that she had been silenced and suppressed by Lance and the others.

However, she wasn't worried at all because she believed that it would be a mission impossible for Melody to get into first place.She glared at Melody as her eyes were filled with fierceness.She said, "Alright, it's a deal.If you don't get first place, get the hell out of Class 8 immediately and never go to my class again!"

Melody gave a lazy nod at Ms.Scott.

Her casual attitude gave the impression that she didn't care about the situation.

Melody's attitude ultimately made the math teacher angry.

She picked up the book and threw it on the table, "Today is the self-study class!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked away.

Even the homeroom teacher couldn't do anything about it.

Ms.Watson left as well after a few reminders.

When the teachers left, Lance immediately turned around and sat down.

Melody had already taken a seat.

She took a step onto the table's bar and held the back of the chair with one hand as if she were a big shot.

Except for Melody, everyone was dressed in their school uniforms.

She hadn't even received her school uniform on her first day of school, so she was even more out of place.

On the other hand, it made her stand out in the entire class.

After Lance sat down, he immediately moved closer to Melody.

He opened both his book and Melody's book.

Melody had just received a brand new book that had no scratches.

All of them were piled on her table because Melody wanted to sleep.

He pushed one new and one old book in front of Melody and said, "Come, let's look at this!"

Melody looked at him in surprise.

There was a hint of confusion in her delicate eyes, "What are you doing?"

"I'll help you review.Since there are still a few days before the exam next week, I'll do my best to make amends.At the very least, I'll explain a little information so I can help you,’ Lance answered.

He looked at Melody with a severe expression.

Ever since he saw how Melody fought, he started to admire her.

The look in her eyes and her aura when she attacked made him fall for her.

He wanted to be friends with Melody.

Since he wanted to be friends with her, he had to help her.

He had given it a lot of thought.

He used to be quite good at studying.

He told Melody first to remember the knowledge points, and he would think of a way to help Melody get through it.

Although it was difficult, he gave it his all.

Melody glanced at him indifferently with a cold expression on her face.

She then pushed the books on the table away and said coldly, "I have no time!"

After saying that, Melody laid back on the table and continued sleeping.

Lance hesitated for a long time when he saw her like this but didn't dare to speak.

He always felt that disturbing Melody's sleep was a sin or something unforgivable.

Even he couldn't explain why he was having such thoughts.

Melody fell asleep quietly, and the whispers in the class gradually became louder.

Reagan fixed her gaze on Melody as the cold eyes on her angry face flashed mockery.

Reagan had not anticipated Melody getting herself into trouble before she could even set her up.

As expected, once a walking disaster, always a walking disaster no matter what place.

She existed to cause trouble to others.

It was Reagan's chance to watch.

Reagan deliberately put the exercise book in her hand to the side, sighed, and said, "What should I do? The teacher is not here.Look at my math problem.There is no one whom I can ask.This isn't very nice! I don't know how the next week's exam will be!"

When she finished speaking, her deskmate came over and frowned as he looked at her.

Her deskmate said, "Reagan, this is the last big question.I don't know any of the questions in front of me.I was hoping that Ms.Scott could have a good talk in class, but who knew that it would become like this"

The frustration of her deskmate drew the attention of those around her, and the complaints poured in increasingly.

Someone said, "Yes, I'm clueless as well.You say Ms.Scott will not be angry, and we should go ahead and study!"

"What should we do? My mathematics is poor! This time, it's all because of the transferee.Why do we have to be blamed for her fault?" another said.

Their classmate complained, "It's really too much!"

The voice of condemnation grew louder and louder, to the point where Lance could no longer bear it.

He got to his feet and looked around at the people talking.

Everyone's voice started to get lower as they noticed Lance's cold gaze and realized he was angry.

They didn't dare to talk about it, but that didn't mean they were convinced in their hearts.

They were targeting Melody, not Lance.

Someone even complained, "I really don't know what drug this transferee gave Lance to make him protect her so much.She's a witch."

Lance's face was becoming increasingly grumpy, and he was on the verge of becoming angry.

Clifford came over and whispered to him, "Lance, the wrath of people must not be offended"

Lance glared at him, but Clifford pointed something behind Lance with a face full of fear.

He turned around subconsciously and discovered Melody had awoken once more.

Melody, who was already awake, slightly narrowed her eyes as if she was still unconscious.

Melody's cold hostility was gone, and there was no coldness in her eyes.

It made Lance feel that she was charming in this state.

He didn't dare to look at Melody because his cheeks felt a little warm.

Melody took the exercise book on the table and glanced at the questions on the top in a daze.

In Melody’'s eyes, the question that seemed complicated to her classmates was not that difficult to solve.

"Lance!" she yelled as she threw the exercise book at him.

"Here!" Lance exclaimed out of reflex as if someone had hit his trigger point.

Clifford was shocked by Lance's response.

Lance had seemed bewitched because he was suddenly so obedient. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Even Lance himself was a little surprised by how he reacted because he did it unconsciously.

However, he had no time to think about it.

He turned to look at Melody and asked with respect, "Do you want me to do anything?"
