“Janet, are you joking?” Gordon was a little shocked. Even I’m not that confident entering the competition. How is she so confident with herself?
“Hahaha, don’t you think you are being overly confident, Janet? Please don’t return as someone in last place and embarrass our class.”
“I don’t think she even wants to go to the competition. She is so disgusting! Coward!”
“Let’s see what results she can get without any practice.”
Everyone in the class was not too optimistic about her ability because they thought she was arrogant.
In the meantime, Aaron was left in an awkward situation as he tried to take control of the situation. “In that case, Emily, you can choose to team up with either Mindy or Gordon.”
When Emily heard him, her eyes suddenly brightened. “Alright,” she happily agreed because she wanted to team up with Gordon.
However, as soon as class was over, she was instantly surrounded by everyone.
“Emily, please don’t take her words to heart. Some people just can’t think before they speak.”
“She is right. You just need to work hard and bring the championship back.”
The classmates continued to chatter in her midst.
However, Emily wasn’t too happy about it because she couldn’t find Gordon to team up with him when everyone was blocking her. All of them are so annoying. “Please return to your seats.” She then asked them to leave.
As soon as she saw him sitting on his seat, she took the opportunity to stand beside him. “Gordon, do you want to practice together after school?”
According to Emily and Gordon’s actual level, they didn’t need to practice much for the competition except to look at a few basic questions.
Therefore, he glanced at her before answering her calmly, “There’s no need for that. I don’t need any practice.”
Immediately, she was rendered speechless.
“Oh my, Emily has been rejected.”
“Young Master Yaleman says that he doesn’t need to practice at all.”
“He is so awesome! He really is living up to his name.”
Yet, Emily still refused to give up, so she asked again, “Are you sure? I’ve heard that the competition will be quite difficult this time.”
“I don’t need to,” Gordon answered her without any hesitation. If I team up with the hypocrite, I don’t think I’ll have the appetite to study any longer.
Her face turned green with anger as she quietly replied, “I know.”
The moment that school was over, Emily and Mindy came to the office to practice.
While pointing at two chairs, Aaron smiled calmly and spoke, “Please take a seat. Are Gordon and Janet not coming for practice?”
Emily nodded.
Afterward, Aaron went straight to the point and explained the questions to both of them while discussing some key points.
Just like that, half an hour had passed.
He gave Emily a set of past year questions from the math competition so that she could practice at home.
“Both of you are really good in math, so you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourselves. You can do it.”
She had always been good in maths. Previously, she participated in many math competitions and already had lots of experience, so she would naturally perform well.
However, Aaron’s only concern was Janet. If that brilliant exam result was a fluke, can she achieve another good result in this competition? Furthermore, she didn’t come for practice, so she’ll probably be nervous. At that point, he felt a bit worried, but felt relieved when he remembered how calm she was upon facing the incident of cheating.
Then, he nodded his head. “We’ll end our practice for today.”
After walking out of the office, Mindy whispered to Emily, “Emily, I think you will definitely achieve a good result this time.”
Upon hearing her praise, Emily felt pleased with herself. Of course I will.
However, on the surface, she pretended to be humble. “I don’t think so. My Maths is rather average. Janet, on the other hand, looks so confident as she faces this competition.”
“She is not as brilliant as you. Emily, you are too humble.”
Emily pressed her lips and smiled, listening to her.
Now, my life is getting better and better. In few days’ time, I will become Old Mr. Collins’ apprentice and attend the math competition. For both of these, I want to defeat Janet completely. By then, there will be no place for her in the Jackson Family.
