Chapter 132 - 129: Great Meritorious Official
Maria Carter insisted that Amelia Willow apologize. Upon hearing this, Amelia couldn’t help crying, her tears were like raindrops on pear blossoms. Both Charles Pond and the headteacher felt compassion.
"Maria, don’t be too harsh. It wasn’t intentional."
Charles Pond looked genuinely concerned.
The guidance counselor also spoke in favor of Amelia and finally, after much persuasion, Amelia tearfully agreed to apologize in front of the whole class.
Then Maria and the others left the office.
"Maria, don’t get too smug. This time it’s because your tutor was good, and hit the jackpot with the topics. You may not be so lucky next time."
Carlos teased.
"As her brother, can’t you praise your sister? The teacher is indeed amazing, but Maria also worked hard, I even saw her buying revision materials in the bookstore next door."
Emily Parker had noticed changes in Maria over the past month.
"Who cares about your praise," Maria responded nonchalantly, though she couldn’t quite suppress a smile.
