Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 130

She never got hung up on things; she didn't have the time.

“I just have to ask, with a schedule that tight, aren’t you exhausted?” Bella asked after a moment of thought.

“No, I’m not.”

“Really not tired?” Declan sounded skeptical.

“Practicing taekwondo was tiring at first. Whenever I stopped to rest, my whole body felt like it was falling apart. But after a while, my body adapted. Now, if I go a day without practicing, I actually feel uncomfortable.”

Mira looked at them. “Physiologically, exercise accelerates blood flow and increases oxygen intake, which improves all of the body’s functions. After exercising for two hours every morning, I feel full of energy and strength for the rest of the day.”

“The studying that follows is mental labor, so the two activities complement each other perfectly. They allow for a kind of rotational rest, mutually enhancing their effects.”

“Plus, my third career is in the arts. Music naturally brings joy to the mind and body. So, far from feeling tired, I actually feel quite energized.”

Mr. Harth nodded again. “I see. Your three pursuits are a perfect combination of exercise, study, and music.”

“Alright, that concludes our interview. We wish Mira a grand slam in all three of her careers, and we wish Mr. Harth success in his teaching. Haha, today was truly worthwhile. We’ve learned so much.”

After the two reporters left, Mira also said her goodbyes.

“Are you and Mara actual sisters?” Mr. Harth asked.

“Biologically speaking, she’s my twin sister. But emotionally, we have no relationship. You should know that I’ve already cut ties with the Mercer family.”

As she got up to leave, Mira still felt a little worried.

“Mara is malicious, but no one can influence the decisions of Melvion Central High’s board of directors, unless they threaten you. Whether it’s the Mercer family or Shane, if anyone gives you trouble, remember to call me. I have ways of dealing with them.”

“You’re the one who reported me, right? You forced me to resign, and now I have to go teach in some rural town! Mira, you’ll get what’s coming to you!”

“The school administration was actually quite merciful, only making you resign. For the mistake you made, they could have easily fired you and left a permanent black mark on your record, making it impossible for you to teach again. And I forgot to tell you, I have all the evidence of you abusing your power and leaking the exam questions. You’d better behave yourself and turn over a new leaf at your new school. Otherwise…”

Evelyn Crowe was stunned. She was supposed to have left Melvion City this morning to start her new post in the countryside. She had been too angry to leave without trying to teach Mira a lesson, but not only had she been kicked, she was now being threatened in return.

At that moment, she didn’t dare say another word.

The Mercer Estate.

Adrian was still at the office when he received the message from Mara’s homeroom teacher. He glanced at the report card and immediately flew into a rage…
