The more Donovan heard, the more sympathy he felt toward Wendy.
Balling his fists, he then stared into Wendy's tearful eyes and said, “No! You're not left with nothing. You still have me.”
Wendy pressed her lips tightly.
He fell for it!
“Mr. Baxter, what do you mean?" A look of surprise appeared on her face.
Donovan inhaled sharply. “I hate people who bully the weak just because they're rich and influential. I'm your teacher. You still have me, your teacher. You're not left with nothing!”
Wendy then pinched her thigh hard and made her tears fall again.
As she cried, she shook her head. “But there's nothing I can do at all. Vinson wants to destroy our family. I can't hold on any longer. To be honest, I'm here to tell you that I'm planning to drop out to work. That way, I can provide for my mother. My mom is too used to living a rich life. She won't be able to live—”
“Wendy!” Donovan cut her off and raised his voice. “You won't be able to earn much without the use of your brain.”
“What do you mean?”
“Wendy, you can't drop out now. Not only can you not drop out, but you have to get into Maxwell University. There aren't any tuition fees needed to study at Maxwell University.
Furthermore, if you get a good grade in your finals, you'll get a certain amount of money. After your graduation, Maxwell University would even give you a good job opportunity. By then, you'll be able to revive the Greene family.”
“Mr. Baxter...” Wendy’s acting was fantastic as she widened her eyes and let her tears continue to flow.
“It's a good idea, Wendy,” Donovan solemnly said. “Come back to study starting tomorrow. I'll tutor you after class hours. Regardless of everything, I'll make sure you're qualified for Maxwell University.”
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
That day was the day Daniel went to court.
