No one objected to the naming; whoever gets called just has to consider themselves unlucky.
With Willow Grant already having set a high bar, whoever stands up to read now would only end up embarrassing themselves.
Everyone silently prayed in their hearts: Don’t call , don’t call ...
Just then, Teacher Sutton found an easy na to pronounce: "Holly Holloway. Who is Holly Holloway?"
Holly Holloway was seated in the fourth row, and when she heard her na, her face instantly flushed as red as a monkey’s bottom.
After blushing, her whole body started to tremble.
This kind of situation was sheer torture for her!
Oh heavens, why did it have to be her?
Holly was so terrified that a layer of tears welled up in her eyes, almost spilling over.
From Sumr Monroe’s angle, she could perfectly see Holly’s profile. She furrowed her brow slightly, and just as Holly was about to stand up, she suddenly raised her hand.
"Teacher, I’d like to read. Can I take her place?"
Rachel Ross and Willow Grant turned their heads at the sound of this voice.
Upon confirming that it was Sumr Monroe who spoke, disdain was evident in their eyes.
A country bumpkin, daring to read English in front of the whole class, utterly oblivious and setting herself up for humiliation!
Willow Grant even thought that Sumr Monroe was trying to challenge her, but how could a person like Sumr compete with her?
Even a single strand of her hair was more precious than Sumr Monroe!
However, Holly was nearly crying with gratitude. Sumr Monroe was genuinely the kindest girl she’d ever t!
But Holly was a bit uncertain; wouldn’t Sumr reading in her place end up being overshadowed by Willow Grant?
Willow’s reading earlier was incredibly fluent.
She couldn’t help but worry for Sumr Monroe.
Alongside Holly, Ronan Kingston also couldn’t help but worry; he knew Sumr was from the countryside, could she really do it?
"You want to read?" Teacher Sutton asked Sumr Monroe with a smile.
To him, speaking English required courage, and anyone willing to volunteer, regardless of how well they read, deserved encouragent.
Sumr Monroe nodded and said, "Yes."
"Good! Very good!" Teacher Sutton’s catchphrase was "very good," and he nodded approvingly, "Then you read the second paragraph. Relax, it’s okay if you make mistakes."
With Willow Grant setting a high standard earlier, Teacher Sutton didn’t expect Sumr Monroe to be more fluent than her, but her courage was comndable!
Sumr Monroe stood up, and next to her, Ronan Kingston anxiously whispered, "Boss, can you do it? If not, I’ll do it. I studied abroad from a young age."
Sumr Monroe shook her head but hesitated when she picked up the textbook.
Rachel Ross couldn’t help but laugh at seeing Sumr’s hesitation, "Pfft... Sumr, don’t tell you can’t even read the first word?"
Sumr ignored Rachel Ross and instead apologetically asked Teacher Sutton, "Sorry, teacher, your class was too interesting. Which page was the text on?"
Teacher Sutton was taken aback, not knowing how to respond.
He thought she was a good student, but she didn’t even know which page he was teaching?
This ti, even Willow Grant couldn’t help but show a bit of amusent.
To win against her, Sumr really was willing to go all out.
Teacher Sutton regained his composure and said, "Page twenty-four."
He added, "If you’re not up for it, we can let Holly, who was called earlier..."
"The second paragraph, right?" Sumr interrupted Teacher Sutton, asking.
Teacher Sutton nodded, "Yes, the second paragraph is correct..."
But could soone who didn’t even know which page the lesson was on actually read through it smoothly?
Sumr Monroe imdiately turned to page twenty-four, picked up the textbook, and casually glanced at it.
