A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 360
Donovan gave Marcus a knowing glance.
He had graduated from Jadeborough University with a PhD at a young age before heading overseas to further his studies. After teaching for three years, he returned home and was employed by Jadeborough University, racking in a high salary. However, money was of no importance to him. Coming from a family of teachers, his only aim is to nurture outstanding students.
Before the class started, Marcus was already adding a few useless students whose grades were so poor that they could not even enter a normal university. Now that he forcefully stuffed an additional student into the class on its first day, Donovan could not endure it anymore.
Marcus stood there and laughed foolishly without
saying anything.
Donovan stated directly, “I heard that you’ve added another student into my class.”
Looking apologetic, Marcus clasped his hands together and pleaded, “I promise that this is the last time, Mr. Baxter!”
Unconvinced, Donovan said grimly, “When the Morgans insisted on adding someone, you said that it was the last time. The previous time, you even added someone who has been expelled from high school!”
Marcus interrupted him, “Mr. Baxton, trust me for one
last time, okay? This is really the last time! I swear that I won’t add anyone into your class again.”
Donovan pushed aside the cup of tea that Marcus offered him and shook his head. “There’s not going to be another time. Either you let your new student join and I leave, or I stay and she goes.”
“Don’t do this!” Marcus protested anxiously, “She’s recommended by the Nightshire family, who owns the Nightshire Group!”
“So what?” A capable teacher like him did not need to fear rich families.
Seeing how determined Donovan was this time, Marcus sweated nervously.
He gritted his teeth and insisted, “Mr. Baxter, haven’t you always wanted a laboratory? Mr. Nightshire said that if the new student can graduate on time, he’d donate a lab building to us! An entire building! When the time comes, I’ll give one floor to you. How about that?”
Donovan frowned. “Mr. Brown, you know very well why I started this class. I wanted to nurture a batch of exceptional students who could make a national or even global impact in the future. There are already a few black sheeps in the class, so why are you still adding more?”
Donovan smiled appeasingly. “Well, since there are already a few black sheeps, it doesn’t matter if there are more. Since you’re so skilled, Mr. Baxter, an additional one won’t make a difference to you, right?”
Donovan’s expression turned grim.
“It’s not the time to be joking, Mr. Brown!”
The smile on Marcus’ face disappeared as he resumed a serious expression. “Don’t reject her so quickly! What if she’s different from the rest? I don’t know her identity or her educational background. Perhaps, she’s the talented student you’ve been looking for!”
Donovan fell silent for ten seconds before continuing, “Fine. If the new student fails to become one of the top twenty students in class, please kick her out. In addition to that, I have another condition.”
Since Donovan had finally relented, Marcus nodded vigorously.
“Tell me! As long as I can fulfil it, I’ll agree.”
Donovan continued calmly, “I’d like to add another student to the class.”
“What? That’s it? I thought it’s something significant. Just go ahead with it! As long as the classroom can accommodate everyone, you can even add ten more students.” After a slight pause, Marcus asked, “Is the student your relative?”
Donovan stiffened up before saying, “I don’t know her.”
“Who is she, then?”
“Wendy Greene. She joined Jadeborough University as the top student of the batch.”a
