Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 333

Patrick leaned his back on the chair and said easily, "To demean the rich for the purpose of satisfying the pride of the poor. Well, I reluctantly accept your reasoning."

The English teacher was a young lady. Being reprimanded by Patrick in front of all the students' parents, she almost burst into tears.

Amelia sympathized with her and whispered to Patrick, "It's OK, don't go too far."

However, Patrick didn't say a word.

Amelia took this moment to reassure the English teacher and to get off the subject. Seeing how sincere Amelia was, the English teacher reluctantly smiled and put down Ashley's test paper, and left.

Ashley was moved to pat Patrick's shoulder, "You're so nice!"

To her surprise, Patrick responded coldly, "Don't get cocky, I'll deal with you later."

That he argued with the English teacher didn't mean he's not mad at her for getting a 30 on the test!

Ashley rushed closer to Amelia and said pitifully, "Uncle listens to you the most. Please persuade him to be nice to me!"

Amelia glanced at Ashley and said, "This is the reason why you cheated me into going to school?"

Ashley said sincerely, "No, Uncle Patrick is representing my daddy in this parent- teacher conference, so I think we should find someone else to represent my mommy to make it complete, and in my mind, you are the one most suitable!"

Hearing such a statement, Amelia was not angry and finally could only rub Ashley's head.

On the other side, Patrick was already lecturing Andrew, "Tell me, why didn't you write the essay?"

Unlike Ashley's poor grades, Andrew's grades had always been very good, so when he saw the 70 points on the English paper, Patrick acted far more surprised than when he saw Ashley's 30 points.

Just because Andrew didn't do the essay, other than that, he got all the questions right!

Andrew touched his left eye, which was still a little bruised, and said honestly, "My eyes hurt so much at the time, it felt like I was going blind, so I turned in my paper early."

"I see..." Patrick nodded as a form of approval for the reason for Andrew.

Ashley pounded the table in anger, "Huh! Andrew is so cunning, he even used his eyes as an excuse, why wasn't it me who was blind at that time!"

Patrick sneered and said, "Even if you're blind, you can't change the fact that you aren't good at study."

Ashley tugged on Amelia's clothes and cried, "Uncle is so rude!"

Gee, wasn't that a fact that Ashley admitted herself? Amelia wondered.

After the parent-teacher conference, Patrick got up and said to Ashley, "When you get home, copy the passages in your textbook that you need to memorize 100 times, and if you don't finish it, you won't go to bed tonight."

Ashley felt scared, "I... I have class tomorrow!"

"It's Sunday tomorrow." Patrick didn't fall for it.

"But I..."

Patrick raised his eyebrows, "Or do you want me to just hire you an English tutor? And hire a math tutor, too, because you're failing both subjects anyway."

"No, no..." Ashley took Amelia's hand and said to Patrick, "I'm fine with Aunt Amelia as my tutor!"

Patrick thought it was because of this that he had to hire a tutor for Ashley, otherwise she would be hogging Amelia all day long after school and he wouldn't have any alone time with Amelia.

Not only Ashley, but Amelia was also intimidated by the 100 times, so she suggested, "100 times is a bit much. It's better to learn step by step."
