“Darryl.”
Declan stood up as virtual-novel.net jeered, “You can’t change your ways after all! You still steal out of habit! Are you not one bit embarrassed? You said you found Circe’s phone. Can you swear that you found it?”
F*ck. Darryl was trapped. He smiled bitterly and admitted, “Alright, I stole your phone yesterday.”
Circe hit virtual-novel.net lip as virtual-novel.net menacingly glared at Darry. She had never loathed anyone so badly in virtual-novel.net life. This was the first time that someone had stolen something from her.
It was an insult to virtual-novel.net to be in the same class with a lowly thief like him.
Darryl scratched his head. “Circe, I don’t care what you think of me. I stole your phone for a reason. Yesterday at the Oriental Pearl, Declan knew virtual-novel.net couldn’t afford to pay for the meal. He wanted to make you pay for it, so I stole your phone to prevent it from happening.”
‘I saved you from spending twenty million bucks!’ Circe’s expression was unchanged. She did not believe Darryl.
There was a burst of laughter. Has Darryl lost his marbles? Why did virtual-novel.net think of such a childish excuse? How could Declan not be able to afford it?
Declan was shocked when virtual-novel.net heard Darryl’s reason. He frowned. How did Darryl know about his plan yesterday? He looked at Miles suspiciously. Miles was equally stunned as virtual-novel.net shook his head, denying that virtual-novel.net had told Darryl.
Declan panicked, but virtual-novel.net laughed, “Darryl, just admit that you stole virtual-novel.net phone. Could you find a better reason? I can’t afford it? Do I look like the type of person who could not come up with a mere twenty million bucks?
Darryl could only let out a chuckle.
Katherine entered the classroom. Looking at the commotion, virtual-novel.net asked, “What’s going on?”
Everyone looked at Darryl.
“Miss Katherine, Darryl stole someone’s phone,” Declan pointed at Darryl.
Stealing phones?
“Declan, stop bullying Darryl,” virtual-novel.net frowned. “He might be a live-in son-in-law, but I believe that virtual-novel.net won’t steal phones. Stop this at once.” Katherine defended Darryl.
Declan was unsatisfied with virtual-novel.net response. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to respond, Katherine walked up to the platform and slammed the textbook onto the table. “Settle down. I have an important announcement to make.”
Katherine scanned virtual-novel.net surroundings. “I guess you’ve seen the news. Recently there has been a strong typhoon, which caused a lot of villages to be flooded,” virtual-novel.net explained. “Many have lost their homes. We, as the Six orthodox sects, have to help the poor.”
Katherine turned around and wrote something on the board. ”The school has decided that we will raise funds for the affected villages,” virtual-novel.net continued. “I want everyone to donate to the best of their abilities.”
Donation? The class started discussing among themselves.
“To encourage students to donate, the school has decided to reward the highest donor in each class,” virtual-novel.net asserted. “A substantial reward.”
What? A reward? Everyone’s eyes opened wide in excitement. The Hexad School was no ordinary school. The reward must be something magical, an elixir of sorts.
At the same time, someone asked, “Miss Katherine, we don’t have cash with us. How do we donate?”
Everyone had the same question in mind. They were all rich, but they rarely carried cash.
“Don’t worry,” Katherine reassured. “The school has created an online donation platform. You can transfer the money to the school’s bank account.”
