The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 49

This scene sent chills down the spines of the students in the front row.

Vivienne was about their age, but they were so scared they wanted to keep their distance.

Then, Vivienne continued to dissect the snake with a knife, cutting open its skin and flesh, then digging

into its insides. “Who brought this snake?” she asked, “Next time, bring more.”

She looked up, a smile on her face. “Snakes are a great resource. As your homeroom teacher, I’m

educating you for free. Every part of a snake – the gall bladder, fat, organs, tongue, skin, blood, even

its eggs and shed skin – has medicinal value. Nothing is wasted.”

Vivienne pulled out the snake’s innards, took a small bag from her bag, and put them in. Then she

pulled out a tissue and calmly wiped the blood from her hands.

She looked up at the stunned students, pulled out a small bottle from her bag and glanced at the rats

running around the classroom. “Rats are full of bacteria and have no medicinal value. Those folk

remedies about soaking rats in liquor for strength are total BS. There’s no scientific basis for them.”

Vivienne opened the bottle and poured the powder inside onto the floor. Soon, all the rats were dead.

She put the bottle away, wiped her hands again with a wet tissue, and walked to the center of the

classroom. “Have you guys finished your welcome ceremony yet? If not, carry on.”

Her words got no response. The students were stunned.

Who would have thought the new homeroom teacher would be such a badass?

She wasn’t scared by the bucket at the door or the snake and rats.

Not only was she not scared, she dissected the snake on the spot!

Was she even human?

Was she a demon?

“Are we done?” Vivienne asked.

Still, no one answered.

“Now that the welcoming ceremony is over, I’ll lay down my rules…”

Before she could finish, Logan interrupted her with a sneer. “You think you can teach us? You’d better

check if you’re up to it. We didn’t earn our reputation as Class Eighteen for nothing. What you’ve seen

is just the beginning. Only if you can beat us, you’re somewhat capable.”

“Kid, don’t always talk about violence,” Vivienne said calmly.

“You’re the kid!” Logan was angry. They were about the same age, but she called him a kid.

Chapter 49

He hated being treated like a child. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a stick and charged at

Vivienne

Vivienne just stood there, not even moving.

When Logan was in front of her, she barely lifted her eyelids, and Logan collapsed.

“What’s happening? Why can’t I move?” Logan was stunned.

Vivienne stood over him. “When facing an enemy, the real power is not to fight, but to make

your opponent have no chance to fight back.”

Logan looked up. “Did you do this? What did you do to me?”

This woman was weird!

He didn’t see her do anything, but he just fell to the ground.

The other students were also confused.

They usually followed Logan’s lead, thinking they were invincible.

After all, unlike them, Logan had really been trained in Taekwondo.

But to their surprise, Logan didn’t even get a chance to fight and just fell.

Seeing this, they instinctively moved away from their seats.

They always felt that the new homeroom teacher would hit them.

If she did, they’d probably get hurt, right?

So they chose to stay far away.

“I drugged you.”

“What is it?” Logan was puzzled.

Vivienne answered, “It can make you weak and powerless in an Instant, and unless you have the

antidote, you’ll be like this forever.”

Logan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of light in them.

Vivienne looked at him, “Are you thinking that I’m stupid for telling you this secret? That once you’re

free, you can find this drug to use against me?”

Logan went silent.

Could she read minds?

How did she know everything he’s thinking?

Vivienne smiled slightly, “Actually, I’ve been studying medicine for the past ten years. I can cure many

kinds of poisons and chronic drugs. This drug is…useless to me.”

The corner of Logan’s mouth twitched.

Chapter 49

The new homeroom teacher really liked to brag!

She’s so young, but she’s been studying medicine for ten years?

Did she start studying when she was nine?

Could she make her lies believable?

“You won unfairly!” Logan was always prideful, and in just a few minutes, Vivienne had scared him into

submission.

He was somewhat resentful.

“I don’t like fighting!” Vivienne said flatly. “In my eyes, as long as I win, it doesn’t matter how.”

Logan had nothing to say.

He admitted that Vivienne’s point was correct!

But he didn’t want to admit defeat!

It would be so undignified to admit defeat after only two rounds!

Vivienne glanced at him, threw him a pill. “I’m a civilized person. I like to solve problems in a civilized

way. Don’t try to conquer me with force. It won’t work.”

She paused, then added, “Actually, no matter what you do, you can’t conquer me. I’m just that

awesome!”

The whole class was speechless.

How shameless!

Logan looked at the pill, picked it up and ate it.

Soon, he felt strength returning to his body.

He stood up, but didn’t charge at Vivienne again. He knew it wasn’t that he couldn’t beat her, it was that

he could be knocked down without even having a chance to fight!

Just thinking about it was frustrating!

He glared at Vivienne, shouting, “Don’t think that we’ll accept you as our homeroom teacher just

because of this. We didn’t come here to learn. We’re just here to get a diploma. Our families are rich.

After graduation, we’ll just inherit our family’s wealth!”

Vivienne smiled slightly, “Logan, you’re the son of the Wood family. Your family mainly deals. in the

gemstone business and has a lot of assets. Your status is on par with the Redwood family.”

Logan was taken aback. “You even know that?”

“I know a bunch of stuff, like how you broke your dad’s antique vase last month and blamed it on the

nanny. And how about half a month ago, when you and your friends made up a kidnapping story to

scam 10 million out of your dad! And let’s not forget how you enjoy

sleeping in the buff at home…”

“Whoa!” Logan jumped, “Hold up, hold up!”

This was just not okay!

This person was definitely a devil!

He’s going to have to find an exorcist after class to deal with her.

This was too freaky!

Those were all things he did on the sly, no one knew about them.

The kicker was, she somehow knew he liked to sleep naked at home.
