Chapter 32
After taking a deep breath, Jasmine opened the door and walked into Miss Woods’ office. In truth, she was here for the public speaking competition that would be held during Chinese Week.
“Miss Woods, the public competition during Chinese Week is going to open for registrations soon. May I know
who you are planning to recommend to participate in the competition?”
In all honesty, Miss Woods actually took a liking to Jasmine. After all, the latter came from a good family background and her Chinese was quite good. She also helped Miss Woods in many tasks in their class, so she was considered as the teacher’s efficient assistant.
“I knew you would like to attend, so I will recommend you.”
Jasmine’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard Miss Woods’ words, and she immediately said sweetly, “Thank you,
Miss Woods! I will try my best.”
Miss Woods patted her back in response. “Jasmine, your Chinese is quite good professionally. You are definitely
better than the current standard that we are studying. But I think you still have a lot of room for improvement and
you can improve loads. Miss Sinclair in our class also has a good command of Chinese. You can learn from her
during your free time. Both of you can learn from each other and improve yourselves in your studies.”
Jasmine’s face immediately fell upon hearing that, but she hid her disappointment very well and immediately
wiped the emotion from her face. “Thank you, Miss Woods. I understand. I will learn from Elise.”
“Good. I believe that you would do well, so keep up the good work. It’s almost time for class now, so you better
go back first.”
After coming out of the office, Jasmine was like a deflated balloon.
Looking back, it’s obvious that Miss Woods had high hopes for Elise. This won’t do! I must surpass her and defeat
her no matter one!
And so, Jasmine took out her phone and dialed a number. “Mom, last time you told me that Mr. Beter is back. Is that true? We should pay him a visit someday=”
After hanging up the phone, Jasmine immediately felt a surge of relief.
Elise, we’ll see who gets the last laugh.
When school ended in the afternoon, Danny sent Elise back. In the past, whenever they were together, he could
not stop insulting her sarcastically, which was why it was surprising that he did not utter a word today and just
sat there quietly.
After they reached home, Jonah already knew that Elise got first place in the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition. He had received a call from the headmaster personally, so he was over the moon.
When Jonah saw her return, he praised her happily. “You’re amazing, Ellie! You actually got first place! Come here
-this is my present.”
With that, he took out a limited edition Centurion Card that made Danny’s eyes grow wide.
“What are you doing, Grandpa?” he could not help but shout.
The Centurion Card of the Griffith Family was limitless.
Grandpa is actually giving it to Elise? This is outrageous! She just got first place in some lousy mathematics
competition. Does she deserve this?
However, Jonah ignored him and waved to Elise. “Come here, Ellie.”
She froze for a moment, but she walked over obediently. “Hi Grandpa.”
“Take this, Ellie!” He then placed the card into her hands. “This is my present for you. I’m too old to know what
young people like nowadays so if you need anything, you can buy it yourself now.”
Looking at the Centurion Card, Elise knew very well how important this was.
“Grandpa, I can’t accept this. It’s too much for me.”
“Silly girl! Nothing is too much. I only know that my girl deserves the best.”
celebration party for you and everyone will gather to celebrate your success. Apart from that, you can also invite your friends here so that they can also celebrate with you.”
“You were defeated this time around. Does it hurt your pride?”
At that, Jack laughed out loud. “Ha! In the future, you have to address Elise as your boss, yet you still call her country bumpkin now. You need to change your habits soon.”
Then, he tagged Alexander.
time to even look at his phone. I’ll tell him myself tomorrow.”
