Chapter 24 Mr. Curtis Supported His Wife in Any Way
Adeline took Melissa's phone to have a look.
Sure enough, the comments on her personal voting page are all the same.
"A ballot rigging? Does the competition have any meaning then"
"What a shameless cheater!"
"Don't vote for this teacher. She has no moral. She has paid for those companies to vote for her."
"So disgusting! As a teacher, she even cheats in order to win."
Adeline gave back the phone to Melissa. Her face darkened.
She brought Melissa to balcony and called Curtis.
"Uncle... honey", Adeline was still not used to call him "honey". She wanted to call him "Uncle Curtis" subconsciously.
She remembered that Curtis had bit her lip the night before so she called him "honey" immediately.
Melissa heard how Adeline called Curtis. She felt so speechless...
Curtis at the other end also paused for a moment. Then he satirized Adeline, "Ms. Burton, do you have many husbands that you forget which one I am?"
Adeline felt awkward. She replied back, "Don't joke on me now! I need to ask you something. You said that I could ask you if I have any questions."
"OK, ask then."
"I told you to vote for me. Did you find some ballot rigging companies to vote for me?"
"No." Curtis said decidedly. "All the votes coming from the acquaintance and the people in the company. Although I have no real power now. I still have my old contacts. What is the matter?"
"Nothing. There are always people saying that I cheat. Since we do not have ballot rigging, we need not to care about those comments."
"Alright. I will follow Ms. Burton's order."
Melissa saw that Adeline brushing for a while, being bashful for a while and then pouting for a while. She felt that they were show affection.
After Adeline hung up the phone, she looked at Melissa and said, "He said he didn't do that. I trust in him."
Seeing their affection, Melissa asked, "And then?"
"Nothing. A clean hand wants no washing."
Melissa said, "It seems that I have worried too much."
At the other end, as soon as Curtis hung up the phone, Steffen walked over.
Steffen said, "Mr. Riley, some people are slandering Mrs. Riley on the internet. I have found these ID accounts. I also got the surveillance video of the Internet cafe. It was Mrs. Riley's competitors who did it.
And, some zombie accounts are found by Victoria. This teacher has several accounts to slander Mrs. Riley and Victoria acts as a helper."
"Good, give these evidences to the competition committee and ask them to judge fairly. As for Victoria, I will deal with her altogether later."
"In addition, from this moment on, all the people who vote for Mrs. Riley must finish watching her lesson video and everyone must write a 300-word comment about her lesson after watching the video. Everyone must write down their own feeling without copying others' comment."
"Three...three hundred words?" Steffen, whose writing was bad felt like he was crying. He said, "Mr. Riley, can it be less?"
"OK, other people write a comment of three-hundred words and you need to finish a four-hundred- word one."
Steffen could not say anything...
Three hours later...
The teacher who came second in the overall score was disqualified by the organizing committee for unfair competition and maliciously smeared other contestants.
Soon people could see that most of the comments in the voting page of Adeline were long.
Many of the comments were commented with real names, which made those comments look sincere.
For example, a comment made by someone named Steffen -- "This teacher is so good at teaching! So good! I am speechless to describe her teaching skills. But the contents she teaches has enlightened me a lot. I even want to become a primary school student to have her lessons. If I met a teacher like this when I was a child, I would have become a litterateur now..."
Adeline saw his comment and couldn't help laughing.
Melissa took a quick look at Adeline's phone. She felt wordless and said, "This person must be a weak student. It seems that he is not a smart one."
After finishing her words, Melissa felt guilty being staring by Adeline. She shrank her neck and said, "If it is me... who write a comment, I can certainly do better than him!"
Adeline just smiled without saying anything. She thought to herself that Melissa must not marry someone like Steffen, or neither of them could help their children with homework.
Melissa kept on reading the comments. There were also some suggestions from teachers in the educators. She felt those comments were good, so she read carefully and recorded.
Suddenly, Melissa, who was watching short videos let out an "Oh" sound.
"Adeline, it seems that there are so many people who give comments to your video and your video become so popular! Look, your video has been shared by so many people! And, the comments under your video are mostly positive."
Adeline took Melissa's phone to read the comments under her video.
"It is actually quite good~"
"So great! I will give her a thumb up!"
"Oh, god, a beautiful teacher with excellent temperament!"
"I am a mother of a primary school student. This teacher indeed has a good teaching skills."
"I am a student of Grade 6. This teacher teaches better than my teacher of Grade 4. She is not inflexible."
"Yes. I am also a primary school student. I am now using the phone secretly and try not to be found by my mom! The memorizing method which the teacher say is useful and easy!"
"Oh! I want to have a teacher like this, too!"
"I am so envied that others can have teacher like this."
...
Melissa bumped Adeline's elbow and said, "Adeline, you are becoming an influencer teacher now!"
Adeline felt dumbfounding and said, "I don't think it is a good thing. "
She was always being low-key.
She was not used to the sudden high profile and she felt a bit uneasy inside her heart.
When she was off duty, Curtis came to her school again to pick her up.
Before he came, he called Adeline at first and said, "Adeline, I want to invite your best friend to have a meal. What do you think?"
"OK. But first I need to ask if Melissa have time."
Melissa agreed at once when she knew that Curtis wanted to invite her to dinner.
After packing up their belongings, Adeline and Melissa walked out of the school.
As soon as they reached the opposite side of the road, Steffen bowed and welcomed them. He opened the car door politely, saying, "Mrs. Riley, please."
After Adeline got in the car, Steffen closed the car door immediately. He made a gesture of "NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
This way, please."
He said, "Ms. Park, please get in this car. Mr. Riley is not used to sitting in a car with another woman beside Mrs. Riley."
Melissa felt speechless...
Was he calling her there to show her how sweet they were?
Though Melissa felt she had nothing to say, she got into the car.
When they were half-way, Steffen who was driving tilted his head and glanced at Melissa and asked, "You Mrs. Riley's best friend and you are also a teacher, right?"
"Yes." Melissa answered casually, "What's the matter?"
"Ms. Park, it is about... writing comment for Mrs. Riley. Could you please tell me how a four-hundred word comment?"
Melissa could not say anything.
How could she know how to write a four-hundred comment!
When she was a child, she was also not good at writing!
But she didn't show her true thought on her face. She said seriously, "No problem, I can teach you! But you need to regard me as your teacher and you need to pay for me."
Melissa thought Steffen would definitely refuse her then.
No wonder that Steffen asked tentatively, "How much is it for one lesson?"
"Two hundred yuan!"
"No problem then! Ms. Park, I will count on you in the future. I think I will have many opportunities to write comments of this type. Please teach me more about it."
Melissa thought to herself: What was the problem with me!
I was just a PE teacher!
Soon the car reached a private restaurant named "Le Charme".
The restaurant only served eight tables of customers every day randomly.
Then there was a notice on the door of the restaurant: One private box left today.
However, when Adeline just arrived, Victoria and several noblewomen arrived at the same time.
