The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 875

Ellinor whispered to Devin, "Don't sweat it; she won't cause me too much trouble. Devin, can you get breakfast delivered to my room? I need to keep an eye on Ms. Blanchet's homework."

Devin nodded, "No problem; I'll have breakfast sent up right away. If Ms. Blanchet gives you any more trouble, you know where to find me."

Ellinor flashed an OK sign, then shooed Devin out and closed the door.

Veronica hadn't made much progress on her exercises, even after Ellinor finished her breakfast.

Ellinor didn't rush her; she just sat quietly on the side, scrolling through her phone.

It was noon, and Veronica finally finished the last page of the workbook and handed it to Ellinor.

"I'm done! Now let's see what excuses you've got!" Veronica said.

Ellinor put down her phone, took the workbook, and started checking. As she flipped through the pages, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Veronica felt uncomfortable. She frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Ellinor shook her head and said, "Ms. Blanchet, I think I overestimated you."

Veronica was slightly pissed off, "What are you trying to say? Speak up!"

Ellinor put the workbook on the table and said, "I should've bought you a third-grade workbook, not a fifth-grade one."

Veronica was taken aback, then she immediately got angry, "Ellinor! Are you saying I'm at a third-grader's level?!"

Ellinor stroked her chin as she looked at Veronica’s answers, "Maybe not even third grade, more like second. You spent all morning on this and didn't get a single question right. You don't even know the basics of elementary school. Ms. Blanchet, what were you doing when you were in school?"

Veronica was fuming, "Just cause you said I got them wrong, doesn’t mean I got them wrong. I think you're just trying to weasel out of your promise. If you didn't want to buy me the Hermès bags, you shouldn't have promised!"

She put on the headphones and started listening to the elementary school course.

When Veronica was a kid, she just went to school to play. Because of her family background, the school teachers didn't dare discipline her.

So, her educational foundation was poor, her academic performance was terrible, and she only got into middle school and university because of her family connections.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with poor academic performance. She thought she didn’t need to learn those things. She believed she didn’t need to work or support herself when she grew up.

Because there was plenty of money at home for her to splurge, she thought studying those useless things was a waste of her time and energy.

Ellinor was actually making her relearn the things she considered useless; it was utterly incomprehensible.

After being forced to listen to an hour of the course, Veronica picked up the workbook again, erased the wrong answers, and rewrote them.
