Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 107

As she was thinking, Mira suddenly heard Harvey (Natalie's brother) questioning the teacher.

Evelyn Crowe was in her thirties and was said to be a graduate of a top university. She was Mira's homeroom teacher and English teacher, and she was ambitious and materialistic.

In her past life, after Mira's reputation was destroyed, people at school and at home were constantly putting her down. This teacher had also taken swipes at her, intentionally or not, on many occasions.

It was only because friends like Liora and Celine had repeatedly stood up to her and argued back that it hadn't gotten too out of hand.

Thinking back now, given her character, she must have been bribed by Mara and was acting on her instructions.

At the time, Mira had been so depressed, focused only on repairing her relationship with her family, that she hadn't paid much attention to these things.

Mira's thoughts were interrupted when Harvey spoke again. "Ms. Crowe, what are you trying to pull, putting Wesley and Mara together?"

Wesley was now Harvey's future brother-in-law, and Harvey would absolutely not allow him to get tangled up with Mara again.

At that moment, Mara was overjoyed. Did this mean she and Wesley had another chance?

But just as a smile touched her lips, Harvey's words threw a bucket of cold water on her hopes.

Damn it. That despicable Harvey. The entire Rivers family deserved to die.

Her new sycophants, who had been about to congratulate her, quickly backed away when they saw the situation, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire.

The homeroom teacher was taken aback by the question, momentarily confused. What was this about?

She had just followed Adrian's instructions to pair Wesley and Mara. What did Harvey have to do with it?

She knew that teaching at Melvion Central High School, despite the high salary, meant dealing with difficult, wealthy students.

"It's just an opening ceremony. It was a last-minute arrangement."

Evelyn Crowe was trying to back down.

But Harvey wasn't going to let her off that easily.

"Don't you know they were just in a hotel scandal together the day before yesterday? Or did you miss that?

"Let's talk about what you were thinking, putting two people together who just committed a mistake that's all over the internet.

"Are you trying to make the entire school watch them and gossip, ruining the opening ceremony?

"Or are you trying to cause a bigger stir and tarnish their reputations even more?"

Mira hadn't wanted to confront her. If she'd let things play out, Evelyn Crowe would have faced even greater humiliation in front of the whole school at the ceremony.

But since Harvey had already brought it up, she had no choice but to engage.

"I don't need you to lecture me!"

Evelyn Crowe gritted her teeth.

She had been busy with the start of the school year and had overlooked the recent events among these wealthy families. She hadn't expected to step on a landmine on the very first day.

"I have no desire to lecture you. It's just that for a teacher, a role model, to gossip about a student's family matters is rather shameful."
