The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 46

As soon as Vivienne finished her words, the room was so quiet it felt like time had stopped.

Dorian, Cordelia, and Arabella were all staring at Vivienne in disbelief.

Their brains seemed to have short-circuited, leaving them utterly speechless.

"Sis, you said you're going to teach at Cloudcrest High School?" Arabella was the first to snap out of it, her face still full of disbelief.

Had she misheard or was she dreaming?

Vivienne had said she was going to teach at Cloudcrest High School?

Was she out of her mind?

A person without any formal education was going to be a teacher, and at a prestigious school in Havenwood, no less?

Did she think the school was her own property?

Vivienne leaned back in her chair and nodded seriously, "You heard right."

Arabella thought, "How dare you! How could you even say that?"

Dorian and Cordelia were completely dumbfounded. They didn't process the conversation between Vivienne and Arabella.

Their minds were filled with the question, was there something wrong with Vivienne?

How could she say something so absurd?

Arabella was infuriated by Vivienne's words and couldn't help but stand up, "Fine, then I can't wait to see how you're going to teach at Cloudcrest High School. I'll be waiting for you there."

A country girl had the audacity to make such a brazen statement!

She'd love to see Vivienne make a fool of herself!

Vivienne gave a slight smile, "You don't have to wait for me, I won't be teaching you."

Even if Arabella wanted to learn, she had no intention of teaching her.

Arabella snorted coldly and turned to leave, not even bothering to maintain the facade of politeness with Dorian and the others, and walked away with a cold expression.

After she left, Dorian and Cordelia finally snapped back to reality.

They stared at Vivienne for a long while before Cordelia finally spoke, "Vivienne, don't take Arabella's words to heart. If you want to go to school, we can help you find a more average school where you won't feel so pressured. Once you graduate from high school, you can go to medical school."

She intuitively believed that Vivienne had said what she did just to annoy Arabella.

Vivienne looked up at them, seriousness written all over her face, "Mr. Dorian, Cordelia, I wasn't joking. The principal of Cloudcrest High School has offered me a position as the homeroom teacher of Senior Class Eighteen, with a salary of ten thousand dollars a month!"

The principal had been pleading with her, even sending her private messages detailing the situation of Senior Class Eighteen at Cloudcrest High School, and offering a salary of ten thousand a month. She had turned him down multiple times.

But now...

Some people were asking for trouble!

So she wasn't going to hold back.

Seeing her serious demeanor, Dorian and Cordelia exchanged glances, then quietly got up, "The food is getting cold, let's eat."

Vivienne went silent.

Was that— disbelief?

She wasn't bluffing!

Why didn't they believe her?

Did she have an untrustworthy face?

Thinking this, Vivienne walked over to the mirror and took a careful look at her beautiful face, touching it with her finger. She mumbled in confusion, "I look pretty good! Why don't they believe me?"

With a sigh, she silently made her way to the dining table.

After dinner, Vivienne returned to her room and sent a message to the principal of Cloudcrest High School, informing him that she accepted his offer.

The principal sent a flurry of excited messages in response, expressing his warm welcome.
