Chapter 181

Selene spared no courtesy for Kaylee, scolding her in front of the entire class.

Kaylee, head bowed, eyes reddening, was on the verge of tears. She began to doubt herself, wondering if she was truly that incapable, unable to even write a decent speech..

Flora paused from packing her bag, her gaze drifting to the notebook on the table. It was admittedly a bit superficial, but for a high school student, it was passable.

It was Selene's expectations that were too high.

Flora furrowed her brows and said, "This draft can work. Among high school students, it's quite outstanding."

"What do you mean can work?"

Selene looked towards Flora, her gaze sharp as a knife. "My principle is to either do it the best or not do it at all.”

Saying so, she slapped the notebook onto Kaylee. Im giving you one last night to revise it. By tomorrow morning. I want to see your improved draft. If it's still the same, I'll ask the teacher to remove you from the team."

After her harsh admonition, Selene stood up, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and strode out.

"Selene was too harsh."

"Kaylee, don't listen to her. You're already doing great."

"Exactly, we couldn't even understand what you wrote."

A group of guys, somewhat at a loss, tried to comfort Kaylee. They all thought Selene's words were a bit harsh.

Kaylee had her head buried, and her shoulders were quivering. Crying wasn't her intention, but she felt so hurt, and with people comforting her, it was as if her defenses were breached. She couldn't help it and just started crying.

Listening to the sobbing, Flora sighed and placed her packed bag on the desk. She walked over to Kaylee's desk and took her notebook away. Then she sat down, picked up a red pen, and began to make corrections.

Her right hand, though much better, still hurt after writing for a while.

Dane thought about asking Flora to comfort Kaylee since they were both girls, but Flora was engrossed in writing something. He felt it wasn't right to disturb her.

After about fifteen minutes, Kaylee had adjusted her mindset and stopped crying. However, her eyes were still red and swollen, with tear stains on her face, making her look pitiable.

"Thank you all. It's getting late, and you should head back." Kaylee managed a smile as she spoke to Dane and the others.

"Should we walk you home?"

"Yeah, it's not safe for a girl to go home alone."

"It's okay, I'll go home by myself."

Kaylee planned to revise the speech a bit more before heading back. No sooner had she finished speaking than an arm appeared before her.

Flora placed the notebook in front of her, slung her backpack over her shoulders, and said softly, "I'm heading home now."

Then, she strode out.

Kaylee caught a glimpse of the notebook, now filled with red marks, surprise flickering in her eyes. She quickly picked it up and looked through the comments. Her eyes gradually became teary again. The next day
