Chapter 92
Agnes's words left a bunch of her female classmates with their jaws practically on the floor. Bella, who was initially puzzled, almost burst out laughing when she heard it. She quickly grabbed Agnes's arm and said nervously, "Agnes, cut it out. Don't you remember how Mr. Neville treated you last time? Don't act on impulse!"
"Relax, Bella. Mr. Neville won't do anything with so many people watching!" Agnes made sure to raise her voice for that last part.
Grace thought about it and agreed. With so many eyes on them, everyone in Lumina City knew about Leopold's methods. Rumor had it he even tossed Agnes into the sea! If Agnes's confession flopped this time or if she got kicked out of school on the spot, how embarrassing would that be?
Grace, though not dumb, felt something was off. "Mr. Neville isn't far from us, but not close either. Who knows if you'll switch lines?"
"I'll face you all. To prove I'm not cheating, at least you can see my lip movements clearly." Agnes finally found a chance to deal with Grace and get back at her for the last time.
Grace hesitated while one of the girls beside her eagerly urged, "Grace, it's Mr. Neville! Agnes confessing to him is just asking for trouble. What are you hesitating for? Don't you want to see Agnes get humiliated by Mr. Neville?"
Agnes took a deep breath. This girl was ruthless, actually hoping she'd be humiliated by Leopold!
"But..." Grace was still hesitant, remembering the time at the mall when Agnes and Leopold seemed to have an unusual relationship.
Agnes knew Grace wasn't easy to fool, so she quickly put on an act and whispered to Bella, "I'm just afraid Mr. Neville remembers what he said last time. If I provoke him again, will he bury me?"
Her voice was just loud enough for Grace to hear clearly, while the others were left puzzled.
Bella pretended to be flustered and pulled Agnes aside, "Agnes, are you nuts? How dare you bet with Grace like this!"
While whispering, Grace finally nodded in agreement, "Hurry, before Mr. Neville leaves!"
Agnes paused, looking at Grace in feigned disbelief, "You agreed? Grace, can't you tell I was joking?"
The girls around Grace saw this and said smugly, "Agnes, don't waste any time! Grace already agreed."
"Yeah, don't back out now. We're all waiting to see, Agnes!"
Agnes took a deep breath and walked towards Leopold under everyone's expectant gaze.
Ethan was discussing Lydia's injury with Leopold, "Clifford has handled the rest. You just focus on recovering and continue teaching at the school. I was wondering why you, such a busy man, suddenly had time to teach. Turns out you had a personal reason!"
Leopold's lips curled into a barely noticeable smile, "I had no choice. I have a troublesome wife, so I had to come personally. But you..." He was about to ask why Ethan was so attentive to Agnes.
A clear voice interrupted their conversation, "Leopold, Mr. Perez!"
Hearing this, Leopold's smile deepened.
Ethan called Agnes over, "Agnes, come here." The knowledgeable and elegant Ethan was extremely charming.
Agnes jogged over to the two, choosing a spot where she could clearly see Grace's expression.
Leopold checked his watch and asked in a deep voice, "You have only two minutes left before your next class. What are you doing here?"
Agnes didn't respond, ignoring his irritation, and looked at Ethan with a bit of embarrassment. "Mr. Perez, could you give us a moment?"
"What, you two got something private to discuss?" Ethan asked, puzzled.
Agnes quickly nodded, "Yeah, just need him for a minute. Or youou can just turn your back!"
Ethan, unable to refuse her, looked at her fondly and said, "Since it's only a minute, I'll step aside." With that, Ethan actually turned around.
Agnes looked at the expressionless Leopold, a sly smile creeping onto her face. Under his puzzled gaze, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and shouted, "Leopold, I like you, I really like you!"
Now, Grace didn't need to read her lips to get it. Agnes's voice echoed all around!
The onlooking girls all covered their mouths in shock. Even Justin and Jeremy, who hurried over, were stunned. When did our Agnes get so bold, confessing to Leopold in front of everyone?
Leopold, initially annoyed by her impending tardiness, was suddenly moved by Agnes's confession, his irritation instantly replaced by sweetness.
Following Agnes's gaze, he saw a group of classmates staring intently at them. Clearly, she had planned this!
He wasn't mad, though. He pulled Agnes into his arms and said, "I accept your confession."
Grace's legs went weak, almost collapsing onto the girl next to her. What was the deal between Agnes and Leopold?
Leopold not only didn't push Agnes away but held her tightly! Their relationship was definitely unusual!
At this point, Agnes quickly broke free from Leopold's embrace and apologized to Ethan, "Sorry, Mr. Perez, for making you hear my confession again! I'll head to class now. Bye!"
Just as she was about to leave, Leopold grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll pick you up after your afternoon classes."
"Okay." Agnes's mind was entirely on Grace, so she casually agreed to Leopold.
Watching her gradually disappearing figure, Leopold pondered. If he guessed correctly, Agnes probably considered him a part of her plan!
Ethan turned around, his gaze falling on the happy Leopold, and laughed, "If I had known, I should have listened to her. Then, I wouldn't have been forced to witness your public display of affection!"
Leopold said, "I'll head back to the company for now. I'll be back to teach next week as usual." After all, with Agnes being so mischievous, he had to work even harder.
Ethan patted his shoulder and suddenly said, "I'm looking forward to the day you change my address."
Leopold raised an eyebrow at this, "Looks like I need to investigate your relationship with my wife."
Sensing his jealousy, Ethan waved his hand dismissively, "You'll find out sooner or later. Just remember, I would never harm her."
As the school bell rang, Leopold returned to his car, and Anita slowly started the engine.
When the Rolls-Royce Ghost passed by Agnes, it paused for a moment. Everyone held their breath as the rear window slowly rolled down, revealing Leopold's distinguished face.
At that moment, his eyes were only on Agnes, and he said, "Think about how you'll make up for these few minutes of being late!"
Everyone was silent.
From Leopold's tone, it was clear his relationship with Agnes was anything but ordinary!
Agnes said, "How about I treat you to dinner?"
