Daisy Zaneās voice was like a cool breeze, injecting a touch of life into the warm, gloomy classroom.
Turner Daniel glanced at her and smiled softly after looking away. Olivia Lane, on the other hand, looked at her, her eyelashes trembling momentarily before she lowered her eyes.
The English passage Daisy read aloud wasnāt very long. After she finished, the teacher praised her and said, āListen carefully,ā before letting her sit down.
Then, Olivia Lane was called to read the next passage.
The paper Olivia placed on her desk was a few days old.
Daisy Zane put her own paper directly on Oliviaās desk and pointed to the passage she was to read.
Olivia first looked at Daisyās fingertip, then looked at the portrait Daisy had drawn of her.
Although the sketch was only halfway completed, it was clearly of her.
Olivia glanced at Daisy Zane.
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and smiled at her.
Leaning forward, Olivia lowered her voice and said quickly, āYouāre violating my portrait rights.ā
Daisy Zane smiled and said, āYou can choose to sue me. Iāll pay.ā
Olivia glanced at her, almost speechless. She didnāt say anything else and started reading the passage aloud: āGeneralists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wideā¦ ā
Olivia Laneās voice had always been pleasant. It was soft, a little raw, and a bit languid.
Her pronunciation was naturally very accurate. Still, if one listened carefully, it wasnāt hard to notice that it was somewhat similar to Daisy Zaneās.
Olivia quickly finished reading and then looked at their teacher.
The teacher looked at her, then at Daisy Zane, and said, āDid you two learn your pronunciation from each other? Itās both similar and distinct.ā
Daisy Zane didnāt mind; she thought the girl was just trying to tease her by imitating her pronunciation.
On the other hand, Olivia listened to the teacher and looked at Daisy Zane.
Her English was taught by a foreign housekeeper at home.
That housekeeperās accent was like this, so her pronunciation became like this as well.
āAlright, Olivia, you can sit down now,ā the teacher said.
Olivia sat down and stared at the paper without moving.
Daisy Zane noticed her daydreaming and reached for the paper on her desk. However, as soon as Daisy Zane touched the paper, Olivia pressed it down.
Olivia glanced at her and asked after a moment, āWhere did you learn your English?ā
Daisy Zane thought for a moment; her pronunciation might have been influenced during her time in Continent A.
In Continent A, although most people spoke in their native language, foreign servants who werenāt local sometimes spoke English. Their pronunciation was like this, even Wilton Edwardsā pronunciation was like this.
However, Daisy Zane said, āMy grandma is mixed-race. Who do you think taught me?ā
Oliviaās eyes traced Daisyās face once more and wondered if she was going crazy.
No matter how much someone changes from the age of 13 to 23, there would always be traces of their past selves.
The person in front of her was a complete stranger, with no similarities whatsoever.
After a while, Olivia handed Daisy Zane the paper and said coldly, āFinish it.ā Daisy Zane gave her a smirk before picking up her pen to continue drawing.
When the drawing was complete, Olivia took the paper away, haughty and domineering.
There was a sports class that afternoon.
Daisy Zane had initially expected to witness a battle for the class, but not only did it not happen, Skyler Thomas personally came to the classroom to drive out the students who were writing papers and didnāt want to go down.
As for herā¦ she was called to the office.
Skyler Thomas was still driving people out of the classroom, but he asked
Daisy Zane to go to the office first.
On the way to the office, Daisy Zaneās cell phone vibrated twice.
She took it out and saw a message from Kevin Clark: [What did you do wrong? Do you need a family member to come to the office and pick you up?]
Daisy Zane curled her lips in a smile, and then looked up at the camera in front of her before replying to his message: [Third Master, you have too much free time.]
[Iāve been busy all morning, just opened it, and saw you being called to the office.]
With one hand in her pocket and the other holding her cell phone, Daisy Zane replied to him: [Then close it and get back to work.]
[What? You donāt want me to watch?]
Daisy Zane replied: [Mhm.]
After replying to Kevin, Daisy Zane turned off her microphone and spoke to the shooting director. Her equipment was then shut down.
The cameraman wasnāt following her anymore.
Kevin Clark looked at the black computer screen, and then sent Daisy Zane another message: 1ā¦ā¦.1
Daisy Zane replied with eight characters: [Focus on your work; beauty distracts.]
Daisy Zane entered the office, where two unfamiliar teachers were present. She nodded in greeting and then went over to Skyler Thomasā desk.
She leaned against the desk and waited for Skyler Thomas to arrive.
When he saw her, he smiled first: āI wanted to talk to you about not having the camera follow you anymore, but I see youāve already arranged it.ā
As Skyler Thomas spoke, he pulled a chair over to her and said, āSit.ā
Daisy Zane sat down and looked at him, saying, āItās because of William Butchās situation.ā
āYes,ā Skyler Thomas replied. āThis child is really worrying me. This morning, I called his parents behind his back. His mother answered, saying she was abroad and too busy to come back. His fatherās phone was unreachable.ā āWhat happened after that?ā Daisy Zane asked quietly.
āI thought this kind of situation needed to be handled by both the school and the family,ā Skyler Thomas rubbed his temples and said. āSo I called his grandmother according to the information he provided when he started school. But she said itās normal for boys to fight, and thereās no need to intervene. Heāll be fine later.ā
Daisy Zane: .
āI just started working with them, and I only knew that William Butch was usually quiet and unwilling to talk. I never expected him to be bullied,ā Skyler Thomas said. āThis is a serious matter, and if it continues, heāll develop psychological problems.ā
āDo you think he doesnāt have psychological problems now?ā
āHuh?ā
Based on Daisy Zaneās observations, William Butchās psychological problems were severe.
āWhat should I do?ā Skyler Thomas asked. āI tried to counsel him this morning, but he had no reaction whatsoever, and his family isnāt cooperating.ā
āHe was beaten up again at noon,ā Daisy Zane said.
Skyler Thomas furrowed his brows: āThis childā¦ Iāve been in the profession for many years, and heās not the first case Iāve encountered like this. But Iāve never seen someone like William Butch, who seems not to hear anything and doesnāt respond.ā
Daisy Zane looked at him without saying anything.
āDaisy, do you have a solution?ā Skyler Thomas asked. āI saw you stopping me in the morning and thought you might have a solution. His family doesnāt care, and Iām really worried that he might go through a more severe situation.
Thatās why I bothered you during the recording.ā
She blinked her eyelashes gently and asked, āHow old is he?ā
āFifteen,ā replied Skyler Thomas.
āSo young?ā Daisy Zane remarked.
āHis grades were excellent before, and he skipped two grades in middle school,ā Skyler Thomas stated. āBut his current grades are terrible, almost at the bottom of the entire school.ā
