Chapter 410 You Really Want Me to Revise That?
Eliza had already submitted her revised paper to Matteo.
But now, he was
it up again–clearly on purpose.

“I already turned it in last time.”
“And it didn’t pass last time. Revise it again.”
Matteo then turned to the rest of the class and said, “None of your papers passed. Everyone needs to rewrite them.”
At that, the whole class went pale.
How was that possible?
All their papers had failed?
Was Matteo just doing this on purpose?
Expression unreadable, Matteo said calmly, “Now, let’s begin class.”
Eliza sat back down and opened her notebook. She picked up her pen and drew a giant pig head on the
X
page–and then slapped a big over it.
As Matteo walked past, he caught the image out of the corner of his eye and gave a low chuckle but didn’t say anything.
When class ended, Eliza stayed in her seat, avoiding any unnecessary attention.
But as Matteo left, he deliberately said, “Eliza, come with me.”
That one sentence instantly stirred up the classroom gossip.
So much for claiming all the rumors were false–look at her now, walking off with Matteo just the same.
Face cold, Eliza stood up and followed him out.
Matteo walked ahead without looking back.
Eliza called after him. “What is it?”
“Nothing.”
Her face darkened. “Then why’d you call me out here? Don’t you realize the whole class is already talking about us?”
“I brought you out here to make a point. You can’t shut down gossip with arguments.”
Eliza stared at him. That didn’t sound like something Matteo would say.
“This is a school. You’re not seriously suggesting I start throwing punches, are you?”
“You’re the Sue family heiress. They can gossip all they want, but they wouldn’t dare say a word to your face. And if you really don’t want to hear it, all it takes is one sentence from you–and they’ll all shut up.”

Matteo tapped her lightly on the head with his book. “Sometimes you don’t need to talk so much. A little pressure on their parents, and these spoiled rich kids will never cross the line again”
“That… actually makes sense.”
Eliza nodded, a little impressed. “But I’m not really used to flexing power I didn’t earn. Thanks for the tip though. I’ll work on it.”
“Good.”
Matteo turned to leave.
But Eliza called after him. “Wait.”
“What now?”
“That paper… I don’t really need to revise it agaip, right?”
She leaned forward and asked, “I mean, I know you lumped me in with everyone else just to make a point. So…”
“You’re overthinking it. I’m making you rewrite it because your paper actually sucked. Midterms are coming, and the semester’s almost over. Ms. Sue–good luck.”
With that, Matteo turned and walked away.
Eliza’s face darkened.
That Matteo really was something else.
After running around for him these past few days, he still wanted her to revise the damn paper.
After she finished helping him with his third ridiculous request, she was never speaking to him again. Back in the classroom, she found that all attention had shifted to her–but no one dared say a word now.
Apparently, Matteo had been right.
As long as the background behind her was strong enough, no one would risk openly spreading rumors to her face.
Eliza sat back down.
Halbert was already packing his things. “Next class is downstairs. I’m heading over.”
“Why not go together?”
“Because someone’s here to see you
He gestured behind her.
Eliza turned–and saw someone hiding behind a book.
She reached out and pushed the book down.
It was Henry.

Her eyes immediately went cold. She reached out and pushed the book back up to cover his face again.
“Eliza!”
Henry got up to follow her, but she said flatly, “Mr. Henry, we’re no longer engaged. There’s no reason for you to be looking for me.”
She glanced over at Halbert nearby.
Acting completely indifferent, Halbert motioned for the bodyguards to carry both their bags ahead.
The other students, sensing the mood, quickly filed out of the room.
In the now–empty classroom, only Eliza and Henry remained.
“I think I made myself clear last time,” Eliza said.
Even though Henry had cut ties with Nolan, liza had always trusted him–as a good friend.
