Silas was speechless and raised an eyebrow. “Are you really that short on cash?”

“Abushurly“” Nobody needed money more than she did. With a soft sigh, Lenore remarked. “This wine is one hundred thousand dollars, and leven. cave you a discount”
For a moment, it was hand to tell if she was just obsessed with money or truly in need..
Silas didn’t ask any more questions. A low chuckle escaped his throat as he took out his phone to make a transfer.
In no time, one hundred thousand dollars were transferred, Lenore felt a bit better, pulled up her slipping school uniform from her shoulder, and turned to leave with a carefree wave behind her. “You still smell best with sandalwood”
The chalk dust smelled pretty strong, not suitable for someone as refined and classy as Salas. Picking up on the underlying message, a flicker passed through Silas’s eyes, and a smirk played on his thin lips. He glanced down at his thermos and took a sip.
At first, it was rich and aromatic, yet refreshing as it went down. The next moment, he froze, staring at the thermos in his hand, surprise. This wine is tasty!”

The wine in the thermos wasn’t strong; instead, a warm flow spread throughout his body after drinking it, leaving behind a herbal scent. One of the ingredients was redbud, which was used to warm the body.
Silas suddenly thought of Lenore’s cooler–than–normal body temperature, and something flashed in his eyes.

was studying hard, the other students and teachers at the school were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
Lance was studying like crazy, practically glued to his biology notes all day. “I’ve got to crush Laicille’s arrogance once and for all!”
Speaking of which, he still wanted to complain about Kyle, looking quite annoyed. “You’re clearly a smart student, but you deliberately get zeroes
on your tests.
Tara and Bonnie were definitely doing well, and the three of them seriously helped their classmates correct mistakes and shared knowledge.
Kyle absentmindedly tapped his p

“What did she do now?” Kyle frowned, and everyone else turned to look.
Lance was furious. “Lucille actually went to Mr. Swanson and said she’s afraid we’ll cheat in class. She wants us to take the biology test on the field” It was just a monthly test. The shocking part was Mr. Swanson agreed.

Thinking about it, Kyle smirked, “Lucille’s been keeping a close eye on our weekly test scores these past weeks, but luckily, I told everyone to hold
back a bit”
