Chapter 53

With such a high salary, if this boy dared to make her fall at her job, he would be her sworn enemy.

Dante had never encountered such a bold tutor before.

Fuming, he said, “What do you think you’re doing? If you’ve got the guts, hit me!”

In the past, tutors had been so infuriated by him that they’d tried to strike him–only to be promptly dismissed afterward,

Melina responded seriously, “As a tutor, I don’t resort to physical punishment. Don’t you understand that?”

Dante was left speechless.

Not giving him any more time to react, she continued, ask you again–what’s your answer?”

“Uh… C, I guess,” Dante blurted out.

“Wrong! The answer is B.” Melina explained matter–of–factly.

She continued, “For Bond A, the return is three dollars per 100 dollars. For Bond B, the interest rate is calculated as (51.450) / 50, giving a total return of approximately 105.68 dollars, with a profit of 5.68 dollars. For Bond C, the interest rate is (100-97) / 100, yielding a total return of 103.09 dollars, with a profit of 3.09 dollars.”

Without missing a beat, Melina drew another small turtle on Dante’s face.

“Next question: Two runners, A and B, participate in a race. The relationship between distance (S) and time (t) is shown in the graph. Which of the following statements is correct? A: Runner A started earlier than Runner B; B: Runner B ran a longer distance; C: Both runners have the same speed; D: Runner A finished first. What’s your answer?”

Dante quickly answered, “D! It’s definitely DI

Melina smiled, pleased. “Good, you got it right. Let’s continue.”

From that point on, Dante didn’t dare ignore her.

He almost never left the house, hating how people stared at him

He had never attended school, learning elementary and middle school subjects on his own, and starting from high school, tutors had been hired for him.

But he hadn’t liked any of the tutors

After all, with the way he was, did it matter if he studied or not?

But now, it seemed that not paying attention wasn’t an option.

As Melina continued her explanations, Dante’s pale gray eyes slowly drifted from glaring at her to focusing on the book in front of him.

Two hours passed quickly.

In the face of overwhelming pressure from a tutor, even a troubled kid had no choice but to fall in line.

When the tutoring session was over, Melina stood up, satisfied. “Not bad–you were quite attentive today.

you next time. Oh, and I’m keeping your knife. Minors like you shouldn’t play with blades.”

Dante didn’t say a word. His beautiful, light–colored eyes simply watched her.

Melina didn’t care. It was time to collect her salary.

The trial lesson had gone so well; she figured she could sign a long–term contract now. Happily, she turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

The moment she stepped outside, she spotted Alfred standing not far away, watching her.

Her cheerful expression instantly vanished, and she put on a stern face.

Seeing that Melina was unharmed, Alfred looked puzzled and asked, “Ms. Crawford, was the tutoring sessionsuccessful?”

Still maintaining her stern demeanor, Melina replied, “It went very smoothly. However, next time you hire al tutor, you should at least inform them of the student’s real situation. That’s basic decency. Now, can! sign the long–term contract?”

Alfred’s polite expression faltered for a moment. “Ms. Crawford, please wait a moment.

He quickly rushed to the door of Dante’s room, knocking and asking, “Mr. Rothschild, do you need anything?”

A calm voice came from inside. “No.”

Alfred was stunned. Dante hadn’t thrown a fit or demanded the tutor be fired.

In fact, Dante sounded… rather content.

Alfred didn’t dare enter the room,

If he had entered the room, he would have seen Dante holding a mirror, staring at the tiny turtles now adorning his face.

Against his pale skin, the dark little turtles stood out starkly–like drops of ink on a desolate canvas. Meanwhile, Melina waited outside.

Before long. Alfred returned with a long–term contract in hand.
