The more Mio Osborne felt delighted, the harder it was to control his facial expressions, the curve of his lips almost curling up to the sky.
He tried hard to suppress his laughter and said solemnly, "Sumr Monroe, I don’t want you to lose face at Crestfall University. This matter can be resolved privately. Now, apologize to and the principal, and tomorrow when you return to school, see which teacher is willing to take you in, and go to that class."
After Mio Osborne finished speaking, he stopped and waited for Sumr Monroe to apologize.
However, Sumr Monroe let out a crisp laugh.
She raised her head and retorted, "Then may I ask, Professor Osborne, if I didn’t lie, should you apologize to and see which class of students wants you, then you should transfer to that class?"
Mio Osborne’s face turned dark and he said angrily, "Sumr Monroe! You’re still stubborn and refuse to admit your mistake, sticking to your guns like a dead duck?"
As he spoke, he directly turned to the principal and said, "Principal Payne, look, this is the student you brought to my class. See for yourself how to handle it!"
"Cough..." Principal Payne let out a dry cough, completely bewildered.
Who was telling the truth?
Sumr Monroe raised an eyebrow and said, "Principal Payne, thank you for coming this way. The bouquet you have is for my sister, isn’t it? Let take you to the backyard to offer it for her."
As she spoke, she made a gesture inviting him, then turned first to the entrance of the backyard.
Mio Osborne’s forehead veins throbbed.
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
No, a very bad premonition.
Mio Osborne panicked a little, instinctively grabbed the principal and said, "Principal, the matter is already clear, don’t be deceived by her."
Principal Payne unhappily wrinkled his nose.
"What do you an deceived... Professor Osborne, you’re way too critical of her! And since we’re already here, let’s get to the bottom of this. Let’s go, follow her and have a look."
As the principal spoke, he pulled away Mio Osborne’s hand holding his sleeve and followed Sumr Monroe with steady steps.
Mio Osborne had no choice but to follow along.
He couldn’t believe it, Sumr Monroe was clearly guilty into silence just now, it was impossible for there to be a funeral at her place.
How could there be a funeral at soone’s house without even a shadow of a wreath?
When entering the door, he clearly saw the red couplets on the gate!
...
Inside the backyard, people ca and went, surrounded by a circle of wreaths.
As soon as Mio Osborne entered the backyard, he saw a candlestick placed in the center of the yard and a black-and-white morial photo.
In front of the morial photo was a black urn, and the large white flower on it deeply stung Mio Osborne’s eyes.
The guests were either dressed in white clothes or black mourning garnts, one after another offering a white chrysanthemum in front of Clarissa Stanton’s morial photo.
White chrysanthemums, in Cathaysia, symbolize the mourning for the deceased.
At this mont, it seed as if a "crack" had split open in Mio Osborne’s mind.
He stared wide-eyed, incredulously gazing at everything.
A funeral!
It was indeed a funeral!
Sumr Monroe wasn’t lying. Soone had truly passed away in her family.
How was this possible?
How could it be?!
Mio Osborne’s face turned deathly pale, as if all the blood in his body had been instantly drained away.
Sumr Monroe stopped, turned around, and looked at Mio Osborne with a half-smiling expression, raising her eyebrows slightly, asking, "Professor Osborne, which class do you want to transfer to?"
Her expression was calm, but her words carried an extraordinary irony.
Mio Osborne’s face changed from ghostly pale to bright red, even his ears and neck were burning crimson like fire.
