Playing with A Billionaire novel Chapter 11

Mason yanked a blanket from the couch and gently draped it around her shoulder. “Go and take a bath.”

As being drenched was making her feel uncomfortable, Janet eventually entered the bathroom under his dangerous sight. When she emerged again after taking a bath, he had greeted her—he was waiting for her outside the door with a bowl of ginger soup in his hands. “Drink this!”

Janet was a little hesitant because she was not under the weather. She initially intended to reject him, but sneezed before the words could even escape her lips. Therefore, she had no choice but to take the bowl of ginger soup, which was black in color, and downed the liquid. After that, she attempted to leave; she had no intention to be involved with the man as she knew about the forces behind him. “I want to go home. Can you give me a set of clothes?”

Mason’s gaze flicked across her fair little hand, which was tightly clenching a towel. He frowned while sweat gradually appeared on his palm. “I’ll get someone to bring them upstairs.”

“Thank you.”

After a while, the maid handed her a white dress that complimented her skin color. She then changed into the dress in the bathroom before leaving with her things.

According to the practice at Star High School, once the exam was over, all the teachers of the same grade would gather together to mark the papers and the trial exam was no different. Currently, a few class teachers chatted with each other.

“I wonder what the average grade of our class is.”

“Don’t mention it. As the teachers of Class B, you guys should be satisfied. Unlike Class B, our Class F is always in the last place.”

“Sigh, come to think of it, Class A always gets first place each time. I’m so envious of them.”

All the teachers glanced enviously at Mr. Smith from Class A. However, he was worried. “Hey, you guys know that I have a new student in my class. If she gets the last place in the whole grade, it would be really embarrassing for me!”

All the teachers in the office wore a relieved look that the principal hadn’t placed the new student, who came from the countryside, in their class.

Mr. Smith, who was from Class A, sighed. “She’s such a troublemaker. She had a fight with Jennifer from Class B a couple of days ago, which caused me to be lectured by the principal.” In fact, he had already given it a thought. Once the results are released, I’ll ask the principal to transfer Janet to Class F.

After a word or two about the village girl, everyone lost interest and did not continue to talk about her.

“Oh yeah, when I was marking the Spanish paper, there was one student who managed to score a perfect score for the objective questions. The answers that this student gave for the subjective questions were close to the standard answer as well. I wonder who this impressive student is. The Spanish paper this time is the most difficult paper that we ever had in Star High School,” one of the Spanish teachers uttered.

The papers from each class were all mixed up and marked together, so the names and classes of the students were not visible as they were redacted. Nevertheless, all the teachers knew the answer to that question.

“Is there even a need to ask this question? The student must have been Emily Jackson from Class A—her Spanish is really good.”

“That’s not necessarily the case. Although Gordon from Class A is also a new student, he managed to attain an almost perfect score for all the three main subjects during his second year in high school.”

When the few teachers were talking to one another, the dean walked into the room. “Dear teachers, the results are now out. You guys can log into the system to check it out.”

Upon hearing that, Mr. Smith hastily returned to his workstation as he wanted to know which student had earned the first place. With a sense of familiarity, he switched on the computer and logged into the score-checking system. The average marks for his class were as shown below:

The average mark for Spanish: 126 / 150 marks

The average mark for Mathematics: 119 / 150 marks

The average mark for English: 101 / 150 marks

For an elite class in Star High School, those marks were not considered an excellent score. However, as it was a trial exam, it was understandable since the papers were particularly difficult. He estimated that it would be good if Class A would be able to attain about 400 marks.

Much to Mr. Smith’s surprise, there was actually a student who scored a total of 440 marks! In other words, that person’s average score for each of the subjects must have been at least 147! He instantly became worked up, wondering who exactly the student was.

Name: Gordon Yaleman
